A reprint in Core Set could mean no plans to put out a new Bolas card, but to bring him back for story purpose in the next set.

Sorin would like a word with you. As would Ajani, Jace, Garruk and Chandra. All were reprinted in the coreset prior to recieving new cards.

 

I don't think there's a connection.

In Magic 2010, only white and blue actually had more than one mono-colored walker to even work with.

They kept the original five around for as long as they did for simplicity's sake more than anything.

But they put Sorin in right before a set that related heavily to his story. Thats why I seperated him out. Garruk should also get a mention since he got a brand new card before getting another new one the folowing set. A lot of people felt Garruk 2 meant no Garruk 3 in Innistrad, and we know that was wrong. What walkers they put in the core set doesn't stop them from putting those walkers in following set. As a matter of fact the only block not to feature a walker already in standard was Scars Block.

Either way we don't have enough proof one way or the other to say the Bolas here doesn't mean Bolas elsewhere.

I don't expect too much slots in the set since monocolored needs its fine share of cards, but I hope the few multicolored ones are really sweet:

Bloodbraid elf
Pernicious deed
Undermine
Knight of the reliquary
Lightning helix
Psychatog

(crosses fingers)

I really can't see many of those cards getting reprinted. Psychatog should never see Standard play ever again. Bloodbraid Elf has cascade which prevents it from getting put into a Core Set. Undermine and Lightning helix are basic enough for a core set i think.

Lightning Helix = enemy colors, which is probably a core set no-no.
