I have to believe that Damnation is returning why else would it be missing from FTV Annihilation???
Could be in Fate Reforged as a money card to sell the set, something to sweeten the pie after the disaster of Born of the Gods... That being said, I agree it will likely be in the commander deck; lets just hope to avoid another {True Name-Disaster}

true how did they not realize that TNN was broken as .poo. in Eternal formats ...

{True-Name Nemesis} is not broken in the format he was designed for. Also, much like {Treasure Cruise} he was all over the place when it came out. I'd rather a card like TNN exist in Commander, because it's not broken there.

When I said, {True-Name Disaster}, I meant with the prices.

Oh right. Well they did eventually fix that, which is a good thing. Including 2 sets per box. It did lose its appeal and has lost much value since. I think they're in a better position this time to learn from mistakes.

Wizards has stumbled with every new product they've done.

Remillo

It's not stumbling.  They've been using supplementary products like Commander and Planechase to print cards that they want to try out in Legacy and Vintage while not allowing them to enter Standard or Modern.  Just look at {Baleful Strix} and {Shardless Agent}.  Both see play in Legacy is some of the more powerful 2- and 3- drops.  It's just that they've constantly underestimated the effect the eternal cards would have on the price of the boxes when sold by hobby stores that stand to lose money when someone buys a Mind Seize box, opens it, then turns around and sells the TNN to the store.

{Profane Command} reprint, I wonder if the whole cycle will be...{Cryptic Command} could take a huge hit.

I just bought my playset this summer...That and I want to get the blue pre-con so that I don't always have to play Slivers, and Cryptic will put the price up.
