I think a good measuring stick for what happens to prices on reprints of highly playable cards is Birds of Paradise.  At Starcity a revised BOP is $16, a Ravnica BOP is $17.50, and a Beta BOP is $200.00.  I think that this shows that the pimp version of a playable card tends to hold its value.  And BOP has been printed in every set except 9th.

Regarding printing FOW in a theme deck, I think the biggest factor Wizards is going to consider is whether or not they want to release it into the Magic Online Classic format.

I've never played it but here's a Bleiwiess article about it.

Ebon Praetor

Seems like CoK gave some new tech to this format with the combo of Time Stop on Panoptic Mirror.

Do you think that Blasting station has a place in any variation of this deck?

Blasting Station - 3
tap, sacrifice a creature: blasting station deals 1 damage to target creature or player
whenever a creature comes into play untap blasting station

pros:
If you have it in play with the combo, you can win right now.
If you only have Squirrel Nest and the station, you can ping.

Cons:
Extra combo piece
Not useful without the nest

While following this debate over the past couple days I remembered a short article on the wizards web page about where the pro's get their cards for constructed tournaments.  You can find it here:  http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=sideboard/askpros/0903

I found it interesting to see how out of this small sampling of players, several of them do not "own" the cards they use in professional tournaments.  They are not purchasing product and they do not have extensive collections.  I don't know what percentage of pros actually have collections, and the "professional" status of course includes sponsorship as in any sport.  But I think that with all of the talk about ownership this is relevent.  I also think that professional magic has a well defined and interesting metagame, this is because they have "free" access to any and all cards in the constructed formats.
