Though Commander Masters has been met with uncertainty as a product due to its arguably high prices for what it's worth, there's no arguing that this set will bring back some very dearly beloved cards. Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, Jeweled Lotus, Heliod, Sun-Crowned, and many others were included in the set as reprints, some in different treatment as well.

Commander Masters, according to game dev Mark Rosewater, is all about "picking reprints that players want and make for a fun Limited environment", to the dismay of many players. Additionally, something else other than the high prices and seemingly lack of direction for this product has been stealing the spotlight: The reprint of a famous staple in Commander for the 6th time.

Naturally, fans have quickly reacted to this, some even going as far as thinking this is just too far and has to be a joke, somehow.

On Reddit, the community has been taking turns making fun of the card being reprinted, with comments like, "Wouldn't be commander masters without the white commander card they put in every commander deck.", and "This was a much needed reprint.". One fan even posted this on the subreddit earlier today:
