Yes! Finally the red stuff is coming and it's quite playable. Could use a few more Modern-framed for my Burn deck!

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
Just bought one for Cube...for about fifty cents. But this card is so much fun, it's hard to feel bad about pulling one.
Unless you just paid 15 bucks for a pack and pulled it.
I like the card but I'd like it better at uncommon.
The card is great but kinda cheap for a set like Eternal Masters
Quoted for truth.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Unless you just paid 15 bucks for a pack and pulled it.
The intention was to whack a pack, but it's simply happenstance it was Vortex.
Intention - $15
Expectation - About half, $7 at worst
Actualization - $0.50
Buyer's remorse.
Yep, I've said it before and I'll say it again. You may as well go whole hog and buy a booster box to try to mitigate any losses with low-price bulk similar to this. Plays right into Wizards strategy of course. I feel for the young kid making an impulse buy on a pack or two of these and pulling 2 50 cent jank rares and vowing never again. (And doing just that)

There was already a modern border reprint in Conspiracy, and it's under a dollar. This reprint was unnecessary. I'm starting to think Wizards is forgetting what they already reprinted in previous sets (cards like Terastodon and Comet Storm).

I really don't understand that reasoning. Could any of the people constantly critisizing "junk rares" in the set with the argument that the booster costs 10$ (or more, don't know the prize of the top of my head) explain to me what the alternative would be? No one seems to have an answer to the counter-argument: If all boosters would contain cards in a high price range (even if it would be slightly less than the booster itself) every sales clerk would sell it for an even higher price. And then everyone would moan about there being not enough card in the boosters which cost more than that and so on and so on. There has to be a certain amount of "junk" to make sure that the boosters don't sell for ten times their intended prices. If you don't like that, buy singles, boosters are always small lotteries. Please, if anyone has a rebuttal for that, I would love to hear it.

Buying individual packs and hoping to open value is what Wizards wants you to do, not buying a box. If they can convince 36 people to buy 1 pack, they are better off than convincing one person to buy a box.

Actually, it's exactly the same to Wizards. They sell a box at wholesale price and the benefit is to the store if they sell individual packs for more

It's the same in terms of monetary value of just those packs, but it's easier for box-guy to not buy a box in the next set, whereas it's much less likely that all 36 single pack people will not buy another pack.
