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.

Not that I know the ratio, but I think there are too many commons in W9 for it to be converted to a MS (keep in mind Wave 9 was already done before the WotC transfer).

Actually, it's brilliant - if they put a ton of commons in a new master set it will force us to buy 4 master sets each!
