As reported earlier, the full list of the 249 cards of Modern Masters 2015 is here. Reprinted cards matter, and non-reprinted ones matter even more.
On MTGO, prices have been deflated all over the place, fearing a potential reprint. Now that everything is set, Modern staples safe of reprint will--if they haven't already started--spike again. Some cards may even triple in the coming weeks.
Here is a brief shot at what to look for as soon as you can.
We'll focus here on cards not reprinted and constituting decent speculative targets at the time of writing this article. Although some cards may not be in MM2, but, despite a certain growth in the future, they are not very attractive at their current prices, especially compared to other targets.
On average, you should expect prices to reach new highs sooner or later, and you should evaluate for yourself the risk/reward of each of these potential specs.

You may consider these Targeted Speculative Buy Recommendations.
Most of these cards have seen significant play in Modern within the past six months, and combining their current relatively low prices and the fact that they shouldn't be reprinted any time soon, they are great targets both in the short term and the long run.
Great summary. Some good targets I hadn’t thought of. I also like bloodghast.
You’re right, Bloodghast is nicely positioned as well.
Prismatic Omen seems like a good pick up at around 1.2 tix; it often shows up in Scapeshift decks.
And for the budget conscious, I see no reason not to pick up a load of deceiver exarch. Am I missing something, or is this an excellent pick?
Another solid pick!
This, the forums, and the email blast on Friday morning just paid for many, many months of QS. Thank you for the timely information!
