So this event deck comes with a couple of mythics as one ofs. Honestly wasn't expecting this from event decks. But more importantly it has Hangarback Walker.

Seems like it would be at least a breakeven in value terms, but how do you think the addition of mythics will change future event decks? They obviously won't include planeswalkers, but they could use this to potentially control prices on some valuable cards.

Wow, this is amazing. They used 4 ofs for consistency, included a modern staple and a couple standard staples. I for one, will be getting at least one of these.

Sometimes, Wizards does good. Hangarback Walker being a $20 is ridiculous. Yes it's $20 b/c it's a 4-of in every deck, but that shouldn't stop people from playing cards they want to play with.

Does the event deck contain full-art basics?

Wow. Actual value?? With two mythics?? Plus Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Hangarback Walker? That's great for Standard players! If I can get one for $20 or so, it will be so worth it.

I think Walker will go down from its currently ludicrous price. Which is great.

This is great! You'll certainly get the value in money back. I can see one online selling for $18, which is a great deal, seeing as that is the current price of Hangarback Walker (although its price will go down because of this). Also, as awesomeguy37 asked, if it included full art lands that would be great.

Pre orders seem to be sold out. Seems very unusual. You can still pick up armed and dangerous today and that had windswept heath and collected company.

Does wizards do single print runs of these products or do they manufacture to meet demand?
