As we say in dutch, a storm in a glass of water.
Is it alliterative in Dutch? The English version is "tempest in a teapot".
No, the starting letters are similar to the english version: "een storm in een glas water". The rhythm is pretty funky by dutch standards though (probably the "of" that gets left out).

So ME4 already has reprints (ie med5 discussion wide open again), the duals are being reprinted, which makes me feel like I've been duped again and there is no power 9, which is as I expected.
It doesn't look like I am going to continue wanting every ME card... Thanks WotC, for rewarding me for putting money into hard to get cards, on the premise that they would only get rarer (and thus more expensive for me) only to see them reprinted and become cheaper instead. I really fell for the "don't wait too long or you'll miss out" ploy yet again! Yay!

Looks like the duals have plummeted in price already, several bots are buying them for half the price they were yesterday.

yeah I am expecting all the duals to be at half value for at least the next several months. theoretically in a few years they may recover some, but no one wants to be the last man holding the bag.
Force of will, wasteland, etc etc all up.

Can't see a downside yet... Love the mana base is gonna be more accessible... love that my FoWs aren't chaff yet... (yet... yet.... echo echo echo...)
He uses his folly like a stalking-horse,
and under the presentation of that he shoots his wit.

Ask me again after the weekend how I feel. Right now I'm like "where is the nearest bar". Coincidentally I don't drink except on my birthday and new year's eve. No, I'm not AA or muslim, I just choose not to.

Sad they decided against Power in the set but I am sure Wizards has a long term plan that will include Power eventually.
Meanwhile we can only hope for some surprising and cool products such as:
"From the Vault: Chaos" comes with an awesome premium Chaos Orb and a Thrustmaster Houtas Cougar Joystick for precise landing and destruction. Now only $299.99 in the Magic Online store!"
But all jokes aside I am wondering why FoW was not included in the set if the 10 duals are ment to push Legacy to more players. Wouldn't FoW be another huge entry hurdle? I did not feel the duals where very hard to find.
I am curious to see how this all develops moving forward. I guess I will try to draft the set a bit to get a few of the good cards and hope for the best.

i would guess thats because almost all legacy decks use duals, but not all use blue hence force isnt a requirement to be competitive unless its a certain archetype?
I like fun, but competitive decks. So I might not play what is optimal but they have normally been tested to have a 2/3 winrate.

Except the duals arent a barrier, I mean check the prices, i dont think any non blue duals where over 20.
