Very disappointed with this. The local store cannot hold to output of people that attend Prereleases in my area. So many people will be turned away. Seems like a bad market idea. Apparently selling less is a good idea?
Mark's high point was Experimental Brain Surgery and low point was Spike Feeder (which by the way breaks one of the only rules Un -sets can't break - cards with the same name are allowed in tournaments and Spike Feeder, the original, is one of the Time Spiral timeshifted cards).
July 2002
Primary to the value of purchasing Magic cards is the concept that each card will maintain a reasonable value over time. Because we're sensitive to this issue and to the ramifications of reprinting cards too soon or too often, we try to make decisions that won't negatively affect card collectability over time and that will enhance the value of cards you purchase.
To maintain your confidence in the Magic game as a collectible, we've created this Magic: The Gathering card reprint policy. It explains why we reprint cards and lists which cards from past Magic sets will never be reprinted. Why We Reprint Cards
The Magic trading card game has tremendous appeal as both a game and a collectible. For us, however, the Magic game is first and foremost a supreme game of strategy and skill. We choose to reprint cards because we believe (a) the cards we reprint make for enjoyable game play, and (b) all Magic players deserve an opportunity to play with these cards. Any card that isn't on the reserved list may be reprinted. Reserved Cards
The complete list of reserved cards appears at the end of this document. Reserved cards will never be printed again in a functionally identical form. A card is considered functionally identical to another card if it has the same card type, subtypes, abilities, mana cost, power, and toughness. No cards will be added to the reserved list in the future. No cards from the Mercadian Masques set and later sets will be reserved. In consideration of past commitments, however, no cards will be removed from this list. The exclusion of any particular card from the reserved list doesn't indicate that there are any plans to reprint that card.
So this list hasn't changed since July 2002. So berserk has not been on the Reserved list since July 2002. If it's gone this long without reprint I don't think it's gonna see reprint.
Here's the oracle text:
Play Berserk only before the combat damage step.
Target creature gains trample and gets +X/+0 until end of turn, where X is its power. At end of turn, destroy that creature if it attacked this turn.
In this form it really does make for bad removal. Even still it's rather powerful. Also I think Wizards has an unwriten rule about reprinting anything that's currently worth $50 or more.
I don't think having the guild name really matters that much. I mean they did reprint Counsel of the Soratami in nineth. The Rav duals would be nice, but I don't they'll see reprint for a few years. Enemy fetches I also don't think will see print for some time. TS just isn't the right set for them. Remember when they had the request for a fan to do the story for TS. I do remember them saying something like "There's no reason for enemy colors to be allied anymore". So I don't think we'll see them just yet.
1 - Volcanic Island
2 - Badlands
3 - Scrubland
4 - Tropical Island
5 - Tundra
6 - Plateau
7 - Bayou
8 - Savannah
9 - Taiga
10 - Underground Sea
I could see these coming out in some from the vaults thing.
The art is more pixalated then the rest of the card and the set symbol is too big.
3- loxodon hierarch (It's definatly not a hammer)
7- Bottle of Suleiman
12- ManaBarbs
15- Avatar of Woe
17- Puppet Master
Montreal is the Canadian site for 2007. Sorry. There was such a poor turn out at the Calgary one in 2005, I dout they'll take it back there.

Purhaps this will shead some light on the subject? *shrug* Thought it at least note worthy.
