(...) The art that is shown in the news item is likely Mother of Runes. Funny, that's what I was thinking. She the best well known "old lady" in Magic. Would make sense to be her. That being said, that's a pretty sweet concept for an FtV. For an old dude like myself who's been around since the early days, it's quite a treat.

Personally I think its Academy Rector, but it could easily be Mother of Runes and that would be kind of cool. Though I expect them to have a lot of joke cards and that stores will sell this item for way above 75 bucks.. So I am honestly not to excited about it for those 2 reasons if they end up being true.
But if those 2 reasons end up being false, then I am in the same boat as grumpy, it will be really cool to see some of the old school cards in the FTV foil printing. I really hope Psychatog makes it in!

MtG:O store will sell it for the right price however and I will buy it no matter what the cards in it are.

For me the art doesn't look like Rector, but actually it is a possibility. It just looks so much like Mother of Runes to me... Some people have pointed out the possibility of it being some kind of counterspell even FoW which makes a lot of sense too. WoTC really likes to let people have FoWs in MtG:O preparing for the launch of Vintage this year... (And no, FoW is not on the reserved list) edit. Actually Academy Rector is on the reserved list so Mikey get a grip there!!!

Answering myself: $40 + VAT = $50 for Swedes. $200 for a playset of Jaces and FOWs is doable though :-) As you said, Yugular, I wonder what that will do with the online prices. Jace has to drop, even if FOW is not in it too

Jace has to drop, even if FOW is not in it too I am not expecting FOW, that would be too much value and make the papermarket go crazy. 200USD=152€, which is what I am ready to pay for 4xJace TMS and also get playsets of other interesting cards. I am definitely buying 4x this in modo, even if it didn't have any other interesting cards in it.

I am definitely buying 4x this in modo, even if it didn't have any other interesting cards in it. How much is your VAT? Jace seems to be dropping below 50 and the value of the other spoiled cards so far are close to zero, so I might just be better off picking up Jace from a bot. Being able to pay with tickets instead of cash is worth at least 10% if not more to me. But hopefully there are a couple of valuable cards more in the set too. Now I am actually talking myself out of it. Even if I get to buy a Jace at $40, it will probably not go higher than $80 within 2-3 years and it is danger of further reprints, making it a much worse investment than a lot of RTR Block rares and mythics as well as MMA (still). I would have to actually play Legacy to use the card andI am still 500-600 dollars away at least from that even if I get the jaces. Jace does not seem like a particularly safe place to store tix either, due to that earlier mentioned future reprint risk

Im gonna target it to be able to play vintage and legacy, not for speculation.

If so, they will probably be cheaper to buy separately, I guess. Do you also get to pay 25% VAT on top of MTGO prices in Finland? That would of course also depend on what a ticket is worth to you.

I am collecting all vintage and legacy staples. VAT is 24% and I get tickets for 0.80€ - 0.83€. Depending on how Jaces value goes and what else is in there I will either buy the product from store or singles from bots with tickets/paypal. It's impossible to say atm what is the cheapest option when the product launches.

Yeah, we just have to wait and see. Hope they put more spicy cards in it so I actually have to spend real money to get this, it has been a while since I did
