Re: Possible Master 3 announcement upcoming?
I'm really convinced that 'wave 9' will in fact be a new Master set. There has been an apparent push to put more terrain out there of late, and I think HasWotC really does listen to what the 'people want'. I'd bet that the reason it took so God-Awful long to get a press release is that they had to take a while to design the terrain, prototype it, playtest it, and then go to production.
To further my position, I think that the reason that they are reprinting Wave 1 in the same timeframe we were expecting W9 to release is that they are hoping to get new players involved. Think about it - if a new master set comes out, people that have maybe never played go out and get one, then get hooked. The first thing I did when I got hooked was see what other boosters were available, and if Wave 1 came out at the same time as when I got started - well I'd pick up every one on the shelf.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
