BFZ Fatpacks

Economics forum

Posted on Aug. 23, 2015, 11:18 a.m. by pleasiodmakerblooloo

When Battle for Zendikar comes out, I wanted to either go to the pre release or get a fatpack, I do not have the funds to do both. Both seem to me like a real fun way to start off the new set but the deal breaker, which is my question, ultimately is: "will the Fatpacks' 20 of each basics be full art", as full art lands are confirmed?

They had to make up for the rather mediocre box art.

Oh, sorry. RoE had regular basics, got confused by Zendikar and Zendikar block :)

Hmmm. If there are 20 of each basic in a fatpack, and the basics are full art then there is 100 x $1.2 = $120 just in basics? Im gonna buy me som fatpacks :p

There was only like 8 or 10 of each basic in the original Zendikar fat packs, as far as I remember. I'm pretty sure they won't do 100 full-art basics in a set that's as hyped as BFZ. That would absolutely tank the price of the full-arts.

"100 x $1.2 = $120 just in basics?" is just plain wrong.

It took several years for full arts of zendikar to reach that level. With new full arts that are currently in print, I would reckon 20-40 cents is the reasonable price at which they will open. And basing the price on the island is just bad, as we know that Islands are the strongest basic, and thus the most expensive. Take an average of all the Zendikar basics in order to have a better idea.

Not to mention that because you are not the only person to think "100 x $1.2 = $120 just in basics?", you will not be able to find fat packs for for their MSRP.

The fatpacks have been confirmed to have full art lands, though it wasn't said how many.
