Will there be a From the Vault: Demons?
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

The first From the Vault set focused on dragons, and the newest FtV (at the time of this post) focuses on angels, so I wonder if there shall be a set that focuses on demons, another iconic and powerful creature type.
Given that both dragons and angels have been explored in this product line, I imagine that it is all but certain that demons shall be, as well, but the only uncertain aspect if when they shall be explored. Given that many years passed between the dragon and the angel sets, it is likely to be many years more before there is a demon set, but I still wish to speculate about such a set, nevertheless.
Among the cards that I would like to see in such a set are (this may be a long list):
Abyssal Persecutor, because of its unique effect.
Bloodgift Demon, a very nice demon.
Butcher of the Horde, since there must be some variety of color in such a set, and it is the first and thus far only white demon in the entire game.
Dread Cacodemon, a creature version of Plague Wind.
Grinning Demon, an older demon that is now outclassed, but still iconic.
Griselbrand, since he is one of the most powerful demons in the entire game, and FtV: Angels contained Avacyn.
Harvester of Souls, because it has an awesome name and a very powerful effect.
Havoc Demon, because it is a very powerful demon that has never been reprinted.
Indulgent Tormentor, an excellent creature for giving your opponents a sadistic choice.
Kuro, Pitlord, the demon with the highest power and toughness of any demon in this game, plus a very nasty ability.
Lord of the Pit, the original and iconic demon of this game.
Lord of the Void, because it has a very nice ability.
Malfegor, a major character in the Alara block with a nasty ability.
Any version of Ob Nixilis, given his prominence in the story recently.
Pestilence Demon, for being a creature version of Pestilence.
Pit Spawn, a demon with a very powerful and useful ability.
Prince of Thralls, one of the few tri-colored demons in the game, and one that has a very powerful ability.
Either version of Rakdos, another famous demon in the story.
Rakshasa Deathdealer or Rakshasa Vizier, the only two green demons in the game, so that there can be some green in such a set.
Reiver Demon, for its mass destruction effect.
Rune-Scarred Demon, a creature version of Demonic Tutor.
Seizan, Perverter of Truth, for his ability.
Silent-Blade Oni, because it is a demon ninja.
Sol'kanar the Swamp King, who I really wish to see in the new border style.
What does everyone else say about this? Will there be a From the Vault: Demons, and, if so, what cards would you like to see in such a set?

I sure hope so! Demons is my favorite tribal. As someone who never buys from the vaults, I can say that I would likely buy a from the vault demons, as I have a demons commander deck and it would be nice to have a bunch of new foils (Alt art Rakdos the Defiler hopefully). Due to the low amount high monetary value demons (basically only Griselbrand), price gouging should be very minimal. +1

Other cards that you didn't mention I wouldn't mind seeing:
Elbrus, the Binding Blade Flip (Unlikely because flip cards are logistically hard to print)

Yeah, a foil Demonic Tutor for less than $250 would be nice.

How much value would there be in this set? Seems like it would be pretty low.

TheDevicer: I'd be fine with that. I would be able to pick it up at an ungouged price.

To raise the value they could always add a version of Liliana, who is heavily associated with demons.

Ruffigan, being associated with demons is not sufficient, so Liliana would not be eligible for this set; however, Demonic Pact, which depicts her, would work, as would Ob Nixilis, who is a actual demon.
