If I am right, Magic Origins is a collection of "redesigned" old cards in MTG history. Evidence so far supports the prediction. We have: Dark Petition reminiscing Demonic Tutor, Day's Undoing replacing Timetwister, Honored Hierarch taking after Noble Hierarch. I believe more cards from Power Nine and old sets will appear in Standard but with lowered power level. Let's make some wild guess before the spoiler's out: 1. All ten Shock lands return ( Dual lands ) update: painlands, not shocklands 2. There are remakes for Armageddon, Nevinyrral's Disk and Wrath of God update: they remade Cataclysm. 3. Moxes will appear with 1 mana cost and "enter the battlefield tapped" 4. Something close to Force of Will is in the set

1. Avarcious Dragon With four mana 4/4 flying - the new standard for usable dragons - Avaricious Dragon give you one more card per turn but force you to discard you hand at the end of turn. It's actually a walking  Grafted Skullcap. What is Grafted Skullcap? you've never heard of it? Right, that's because it's never been used in serious decks since it first appeared in Urza's Saga set 17 years ago.

Starfield of Nyx At the beginning of your upkeep, you may return target enchantment card from your  graveyard to the battlefield. As long as you contr

The first 72   Magic Origins  cards, mostly at limited level, have been reveled. It makes me feel Magic Origins is weaker than Magic 2015. Getting weaker sets doesn't mean lower profit chance; Reversely, prices can be very high for a few good cards in such sets. Modern Master 2015 is so good as Vintage Masters but they have extended the drafting period. That disturbed my plan. I sold all Tarmogoyf at around 1 tix loss on each. If it unfortunately follows the price movement of Vintage Masters, no one should touch it at all.  Let me tell you the story of Vintage Masters:  Last year, Vintage Masters first appeared in MTGO. It was the first time for online players to use Power 9 (Moxes, Black Lotus, Time Walk etc) in games. People had very high expectation on the set and they were not disappointed by the cards. At the early stage of the set's release, a player can buy packs from MTGO store and get a decent profit by selling the cards opened. A friend proved it by crackin
