The Grixis deck is 90+ in value between strix and strategic planning, according to TCGPlayer. Naya is about 50, Bant about 70, Jund 110(half of which is Hua To) and Esper is less than 50. Bant has largely the most valuable cards, since the value in the others is in just a few.
It also seems the best constructed.

-I would preorder 6 of these: 4 for deck, 1 for EDH, and 1 to build a sanctuary and adore it for as long as i play shenanigan decks
Only card of interest for me is Unexpectedly Absent, which is to expected. Good thing its in the Bant deck since thats the only one I'll be picking up.
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.
WOW...I never expected them to work this hard to get us reprints of PTK cards, but I am absolutely thrilled. They even included a grunt with horsemanship, which is outstanding. Lets be honest, I was going to buy all five anyway, but this has made me even more eager to crack them.
All and all the decks look interesting, and the reprints are decent for the most part, but I am kinda disappointed to see Sol Ring again. Command Tower is a given, but Ring should have been another popular mana rock. There are a few cards I am getting tired of seeing in precons, but at least there are no Avatar of Woe in any of the decks.

But those numbers are skewed on past printings though. No way the reprints would be even half the price of the originals.
Thrilled with the quality of the reprints, but I'm left wanting more. I was really looking forward to new duel-colored legendary creatures. At a minimum, I wanted Hanna, Ship's Navigator (with the duels of the planeswalker art) printed for the esper deck. Seems like an obvious fit.
So after looking over all of the cool new art (Rubinia is beautiful!), I really love these decks. Only two things disappoint me. One thing isn't too big of a deal, but I was kind of hoping each deck would give us a new two color general like the last decks did. The other thing that really made me sad is that Wizards didn't take the opportunity to make new, playable versions of the Elder Dragon cards. That's a huge missed opportunity in my opinion, but I'll hold out hope that they will do it in the future (and god, please don't make them part of some Commander's Arsenal-esque BS if you do make new versions!).
Either way, these decks are great. I can't wait to get the Jund one and start throwing Prossh together. I was originally going to build Jenara too, but I think I'm going for the Lich King instead. Picked up an Anvil of Bogardan in preparation. I'm sad that Font of Mythos and Wheel of Fortune weren't in that deck.
I was kinda freaked out that Eternal Dragon was getting reprinted in the modern frame, since it is one of the few cards that I adore in the old frame, but this art makes me so happy.

I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.

Well Wheel will never be reprinted as its on the reserved list.
Eye of Doom uses doom counters and its a triggered ability so shattering it before removal happens. That ends all discussion on fate counter applications.

Gosh darn it, Wizards! Why do you keep giving White the best removal, huh? Exiling and tucking is still removal, but somehow it's not as 'unfun' as traditional removal, so it can be aggressively costed (even though it's, in most cases, strictly better)?
Ahem. Unexpectedly Absent, Darksteel Mutation, and Act of Authority are all very powerful. Unexpectedly Absent definitely seems Legacy playable, given all the shuffle effects in the format. At worst, it wastes their draw at instant speed, and it's not even card disadvantage.

This^, IF these come with tokens then the Jund deck might soar to the highest value for the 0/1 Kobold tokens.
Otherwise, I LOVE THESE DECKS! These decks look better than the first 5. While not as many new legends the supporting cards look better and include hard/expensive to get reprints. I am not a value hoarder that will buy a hundred of these up and resell the cards so I really enjoy it when the pre-con decks I buy have older expensive cards that I can get for a reasonable price. I will buy these decks to use and enjoy.
Damn you wizards, Prossh made us a promise that you clearly didn't keep. I expected at least one Kobold to be given a modern frame, if not more, but you only gave us the time spiral land. You have crushed my dreams.
im a little weirded out by the choices with the naya and esper decks the other three are good but those two are like not what was expected. the esper...i cant really see a good win condition idk...someone explain it to me and naya seems like the objective is get alot of land and use it for x cost things and to disrupt peoples artifacts and enchantments (but didnt put in the creature that did that...bant got that) which its commander hints at zero %. heck mayael is useless in the deck because there are so few creatures 5 or greater. these two just blind sided me by how little it seems they'll do compared to the rest
Seems like another item that Sharuum can abuse to hell.
It also makes me wish Derevi could target any other permanent

Wasn't Garruk the only one in the last set? He seems more like the exception to the rule rather than the trendsetter.

Love that Arcane Denial and Control Magic gets reprinted in modern frame in Bant deck.
EDIT: Basalt Monolith as well.
On the other hand, it doesn't account for the likely value of new cards like True-Name Nemesis.
