I am considering buying foil Snapcaster Mages in the coming weeks and will have the opportunity to buy 4 foil Innistrad ones for a good price. But upon thinking about it, would it be better to purchase 4 pro tour foil snapcasters? I know MM3 is on the way, and they could reprint either art or make a new art even, so I pose two questions. 1) Foil innistrad or promo? and 2) Just wait till mm3 spoiler or will the non reprinted art spike the second it gets spoiled? Thanks!

This isn't for sure, but I think they'll give Snapcaster Mage new art for MM3. It's an "Invitational Card" (designed by Tiago Chan, who won the 2007 invitational and whose picture appears in the art), just like Dark Confidant, which was also an Invitational Card (designed by Bob Maher), and which got new art in the original Modern Masters. (Compare Dark Confidant to Dark Confidant. I'm a huge fan of the promo Snapcaster Mage, so I'd suggest getting that version, but if you don't particularly like either art, I'd say wait until MM3 gets spoiled.
