I just hope the prices of singles will go down enough for me to get the ones I want. I wouldn't mind getting many of these for my EDH decks.

We're getting Entomb woo. And Worldgorger Dragon at mythic :/ I guess that's our first bulk mythic?
May 24, 2016 6:34 a.m.
I'm guessing for the sake of limited Imperial Seal isn't going to be in this set alongside Entomb and Vampiric Tutor...r-r-right WotC?
May 24, 2016 6:55 a.m.
Unfortunately, if the EV of the pack is high, the price of the pack goes up with it in a limited print run. So the more high dollar cards means higher pack prices, which will mean some prices won't fall much
May 24, 2016 7:30 a.m.
Ok with Vampiric Tutor now in the set, I'm now persuaded to at least buy A box :D Or draft...
If there are still boxes around by next pay day (ie end of June) then I might grab a second.

Bad rares really shouldn't have any place in this set. I understand the reasoning for having them, but shelling out $15 for a pack only to get nothing from it is just cruel. At $4 a pack I understand it completely, but $15 is entirely too much to spend without some compensation guaranteed.

MSRP of packs are supposed to be $10(USD). If your store is gouging on the price of packs then I'd buy them somewhere else.
May 24, 2016 9:54 a.m.
There's a lot of tension between the cards included clearly for value (Jace!) and the need to control the EV. I think this is why Wizards tries promoting EMA as a draft format - they can include several useful but bulk rares to spice up drafting and keep the EV low enough to justify the better rares and mythics.
It just sucks to be that person who plays the pack lottery and has half their mythics be Worldgorger Dragons.

GeminiSpartanX watch derium's video on modern masters 2015 they explain it and the fact is everyone is price gouging so you can't really be picky anymore.Sorry it's actually bfz fat packs but it's a similar concept here's the video

So now is there going to be Mystical Tutor and Worldly Tutor to be in a cycle with the others?

Shaman of the Pack, Wirewood Symbiote, and Timberwatch Elf have all be spoiled at uncommon. Source
Balance is also at mythic rare (source) and Sensei's Divining Top is a rare (source).

Ooo might have to get a Sensei's Divining Top finally.
May 24, 2016 10:40 a.m.
DiamondFlavor says... #16
Also really like the notion a page or so back about Sylvan Tutor and Personal Tutor completing the "cycle" in the place of Worldly and Mystical. They're slightly worse, but also more expensive (and I already have my Worldly and Mystical for EDH).

Jokes on us for getting dissapointed about Worldgorger Dragon. Welcome Balance.
May 24, 2016 10:45 a.m.
So... With a Sensei's Divining Top reprint, what are the chances we get Counterbalance and have the (albeit rare) opportunity to draft countertop?

The speculation is becoming cancerous at this point. Boxes are being sold at 360 euros, what the fuck is actually happening... o-o
[edit] My English is really approximative when I'm tired. x)
May 24, 2016 10:49 a.m. Edited.
Why why why is Balance in the set? It's banned in Legacy and Commander and restricted in Vintage. They even admit in the card promo that it can be un-fun in limited.
May 24, 2016 11:15 a.m.
We're getting Entomb, so let's see some more reanimation love!

K34 on my last GP I got Griselbrand'ed Turn1 twice. Screw reanimation. :c

May 24, 2016 11:24 a.m.
Interesting... the first Standard legal card is Shaman of the Pack.
May 24, 2016 11:28 a.m.
This just in: enemy fetches are NOT being reprinted here. Karakas is #240 while Maze of Ith is #241.

So I stand by what I said and will re-iterate. Wizards doesn't give a FUCK about booster EV and secondary Market. This.is.AWESOME
May 24, 2016 11:37 a.m.
I preordered a box today. $275. Im not sure if i should open the box or not.. will an unopened box sell for much in the future you think?
May 24, 2016 11:37 a.m.
EpicFreddi says... #35
I'll get a box for 202Euro, thats 225$. Teh european market didnt explode.
May 24, 2016 11:46 a.m.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any Canadian sites that are taking any pre-orders yet... so when I can finally order it, the price will be through the roof.
Please let me know if you know of any.
May 24, 2016 11:50 a.m.
GoldGhost012 Sweden.. But i have not payed for it, only reserved one so technically the price could change before release :/.

Face to Face has the boxes for 370 Canadian but they sell out really fast whenever they are brought back in stock (for instance they were restocked today but sold out in 10 minutes)
May 24, 2016 12:11 p.m.
Yeah... every time I check FaceToFace, it has it as 'Wish List'... meaning I can't place an order.
May 24, 2016 12:15 p.m.
I have to get a box of this, dammit.
Make it two so I can hopefully sit on the other
May 24, 2016 12:29 p.m.
From MaRo's blog. - HERE
At uncommon, it makes it easy to find if you happen to open a Worldgorger Dragon.

Dack Fayden foils are $400 each right now! Well played (printed) wotc, well played...
May 24, 2016 1:26 p.m.
Hehe... Giant Tortoise has seen play in one deck, as a one-of... in 1996.
And the deck, as listed on mtgtop8, had a total of 43 cards.
May 24, 2016 1:49 p.m.
Rayenous And thus is the reason why this set could end up being bad. lol Although, drafting it could be a hell of a lot of fun. I'm worried about the filler cards they will add to the set.
May 24, 2016 1:51 p.m.
But it dodges bolt and enabled the deck to run 17 cards under minimum size. That sounds like Power 9 - now Power 10 - status to me.
May 24, 2016 1:56 p.m.
It can be pitched to Force of Will. If that's not a reason to run it, what is?
May 24, 2016 2:05 p.m.
SpringingTiger says... #50
Omeros, that may have been before the minimum deck size was changed from 40 to 60.

Thirteen cards so far are worth more than MSRP. Only one mythic worth less than MSRP. Wondering if I should be hopeful of value, or if I should expect to see $20-$30 packs
