Another awful wasted rare slot. If they were looking for a decent Theros rare they should have put in Nykthos not a bulk rare that's already had a commander printing.
I'm starting to get scared that we're heading for another high end card or bust set.
HAHAHAHA what is this??? Could have totally been an uncommon. Gross rare slot for 10$ pack. I'm starting to believe that the conspiracy theories about the Jace unbanning to sell this set...really nothing to write home about so far outside of Jace! God damn this is a bad rare to crack. Will a God have a slot?
A25 Recruiter will be $20 or less by this time next year, he sees zero play other than a couple commander decks. Moon Stompy doesn't play it anymore and Imperial Painter died with the SDT ban.
We're currently at something like 9/53 rares and 7/15 mythics spoiled. Still plenty of goodies to be revealed. Also, if you think that every rare and mythic should be a money staple, you have unrealistic expectations. All the Masters sets are full of junk. All of them.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
No, i just don't care about them. I didn't say the set didn't have value, i said it was nothing to write home about so far and bident of tassa as a rare is just...so horrible.
Remember, they picked this over Purphoros, God of the Forge or just about any god card. I can't believe they did this...

2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

And we always complained about them because of it, since these are freaking $10 packs.
Another .50 cent card in a $10 dollar pack. This is ridiculous.
They should at least include a packet of Vaseline with every booster.

Oh, you think it gets BETTER do you? Have a look at iconic masters and then think about this from a logical perspective: They designed that set and this one at the same time. Do you really think they did this any differently as far as value goes?
Prepare to watch as they demonstrate how dividing a masters set in a year for the sake of reprint equity works, and by all that is good in the world I'm hoping that I'm completely wrong.

I fully get that we will have high and low value cards in a reprint set. What bothers me is the multiple reprints of a low value cards. If they needed a blue rare from Theros they still could have chosen swan song (~$3) or curse of the seine(never been reprinted.) This points to maybe enchantments or artifacts being a thing in the set. Hanna also points to that.
Of all the cards to represent Theros. I'm honestly more upset about not getting another card from Theros to represent the plane. This already had a promo with a watermark, and has several reprints with little monetary value. I agree many other cards could have represented the plane better. Purphoros for sure.

It should have Ben a god since god creature type was introduced.

Phyrexian Obliterator into Gray Merchant of Asphodel would be a sick draft deck. Add some Pack Rat for some real mono-black devotion nostalgia. Trick missed WotC
