So most people agree {wasteland} is probably not in the cards for a standard reprint.  What about some powerful creatures?  Choose one and give a reason why or why not.

{vendilion clique}
{shardless agent}
{mother of runes}
{goblin piledriver}
{dark confidant}

{vendilion clique}-In the right environment, very reasonable
{shardless agent}-Cascade is probably the biggest barrier, they'd have to put cascade in the whole set
{mother of runes}-Likely too powerful
{goblin piledriver}-Probably too powerful, but WoTC could do it as long there weren't any other good goblins in standard
{dark confidant}-Very reasonable, although RB Aggro/Burn might be put over the top in the right environment.

Tabooist

Mother of runes reprinted while jeskai ascendancy is in standard would be horrible I think.. Awesome for those that use it but I can already picture some abuse..

We're not getting goblin pile driver and goblin rabble master in the same standard format, even though that would be hilarious...

I can see Clique back in std that's about it. Unless they do a cascade block/set then Agent can return.

Runes is way too OP for std (even though I really wanna tap dat milf :P lol)

Bob I think is too OP but I might be wrong bc they tried a weaker Bob in {Pain Seer} and that other one from RtR block and neither saw play. So maybe Bob isn't too OP

If pile driver and rabble are in the same std set red would be insane lol so maybe driver sometime post M15

I feel since we just saw MM ; items in that won't be reprinted for at least another 5 years

IDK, I can definitely see {Dark Confidant}, {Tarmogoyf}, {Cryptic Command}, and {Vendilion Clique} all getting reprints soon, simply for price control.

Ya agreed especially Tarmogoyf. Except not with fetches in standard. Cryptic might be too strong for std though

I'm saying in general, not necessarily in standard, but yeah, I agree with your assessment.
