Wait... so, there are three intro packs with red as one of their colors, and only one with blue? When's the last time we didn't get an even distribution of colors among a set's precons?
Really makes me hope that they don't stop doing the Clash Packs because it seems like the Event Deck is continuing the trend from the Origins one of loading it with pure value.

Since Morningtide, and those were called theme decks. Even with Shadowmoor and Eventide, I don't think they were designed with theme deck color even distribution in mind. At least without the even distribution, we might go back to the theme deck days where we might see a 5 color deck, a 3 color deck, a mono color deck all in the same set of 5 intro packs, granted that each color must be represented in each intro pack.
Maro said that people like patterns, and this uneven distribution of colors in the intro pack is killing me, ok, well, not really killing, but it is driving me insane.
That event deck is actually really awesome. I'm totally going to snatch one or two. B/G sacrifice does seem like a pretty solid strategy in the coming Standard season.
Get those event decks at MSRP while you can my friends. I didn't even make it through the whole list before I ordered couple online at a pretty good price. Never before have I rushed to an e-commerce site so fast and hoped the price didn't change while ordering.
From a mythic in the original to an intro pack rare.This is insane

The Event deck is really good but I'm going to wait until the prices of the singles crash and pick them up. I'm glad I sold my play set of Hangarback Walker last week now, I'll get to pick them back up for a half of what sold my play set for. It sucks that Tasigur was printed though I've been picking these up for awhile.

It is so good, that even its sideboard has desirable cards: 3 Duress and 2 Ultimate Price.
Awesome.

A pretty clear indication that WotC does not expect those cards to be as important going forward
Possibly, but I see it more as
"oh, *****- we printed these expensive format staples in small sets. let's make them a bit more available."
Reprint Stasis!
