How have they chosen the cards? I understand that you'd have Giant Growth in the set, but there's no Mox or Lotus type card?
Modern Masters made sense since it was mostly balanced Modern style decks in a draft format, like it had a bunch of the Affinity cards including all the expensive ones.
If it was me I'd have made the set be a "fixed" Alpha, no reserve list cards but similar non broken substitutes.

It just seems a total mess. A majority of the cards are neither iconic or even representative of the themes their set/block was based around. A lot of them aren't great for draft. There's just a large number of cards I have no idea why they've included, let alone in a so called 'Iconic' set.And at $10 they can just fuck off frankly.

If this was Vintage Iconic Masters 2 Electric Bugaloo or whatever it wouldn't bother me as much as it does being pushed as the 25th anniversary set. I get that they want to release another master set and another and another but this set could have been special without needing to spike it with more big value.

I love drafting gold sets (I'm also bonkers good at them.)
KTKx3 is actually my favorite limited set of all time followed by:
INV/INV/PS (way back when I first played paper.)
ISDx3
RTR/GTZ/DGM
MMAx3
It's remarkable how much my limited rating would vary on MTGO between gold blocks and non gold blocks.

Khans was super profitable to draft between fetchlands and having a local store where somehow only 2-3 people realized lands were pretty much always your high picks despite drafting 2-3 times a week. Hooray for people who just internalized BREAD and never thought to adjust for format quirks.
