I'd buy the Vamp one, but my LGS charges like $45 for Event Decks. And most of it is rotating out anyway. But really, Catacombs, four Dismember, and 2 Go for the Throat? At MSRP, easily best value in an Event Deck.
Wow, that's actually an amazing value, I would have expected it to be 35 bucks (especially with 4 Dismembers which are currently going for like 6 bucks a piece), but I guess with most of the current Vampire staples rotating out they couldn't charge that much for it. Might buy the illusion deck, too, but why it only comes with 3 Phantasmal Dragons instead of 4 is beyond me.
Wizards dont sell cards individually and dont have any say really in the secondary market. So wizards dont price things based on the secondary market. Vampire nighthawk can go up to 100 bucks each tomorrow and they wouldnt care.
I could easily get these things at MSRP in my area. Probably still wont, since I don't buy cards. Still though, thats quite a lot of value. I'm impressed, and sad to know that my Gatekeepers, Nighthawks and Dismembers may drop a dollar.
It's still a damn good deal, considering you get what is currently $20 in Standard Staple Removal, $10 in Legacy/T2 playable Beaters, and some decently valued commons. It's better than the Illusions deck (which is unplayable, and this is coming from a guy who spends hours building Illusions)
I agree that this deck is a fantastic deal. I just cant seem to understand how people havent already obtained their Dismembers. I think I will be buying this deck almost solely for the purple box lol. I love purple, the rest of it is just gravy lol.

Anymore. Haven't for a couple years now at least. Now I just have a very good trade binder, make good trades early before rotations, and stick to one, good deck for as long as I can, and use Store Credit from Events to buy whatever I do need. Haven't spent actual cash on magic, aside from Entry to events in a long long time. Oh.. I guess I played Pre-releases, I'm sorta buying packs, but thats it!
I got a couple of the vampire decks from gamingetc for 20 a piece. Shipping was like five bucks. I'd have ordered from ebay if I hadn't seen the better deal, because even at 25 a piece its a pretty good buy.
I pre-ordered both event decks at miniaturemarket for $40 including shipping. I would never use these at a FNM, but they should be fun to play against each other and I think the value is decent.
i get them BELOW msrp, and im in canada. Im sure some of you savy foreigners can get them cheap.
BLATANT. RACISM.
On topic, definitely looks like a bargain. Gonna be picking one of these up as soon as they appear on my Wal-Mart's shelves :3

Though as darnovo said, not as awesome (or stupid?) as Spork in the Rat's Nest precon. I saw people buying whole display boxes of precons.
