Dont even try to put any "reason" to the freaking frame on legendary creatures.
They completely lost any sense of what a frame should do and slap a new frame on literally anything they can, to a point its just obfuscating the game more and more , for simply no reason at all (i mean seriously, legendary have a big fat text-line of LEGENDARY that is much more present and highlighted than the frame of the card to distinguish cards).
There's no way the word legendary is as eye catching as the new mantle.
Well I called Daretti and Atraxa, especially the later as it will practically sell this product on its own. Seeing Kalemne as on of the decks irks me to no end, seeing as it was the worst of that years decks, easily. Daretti is a great inclusion and I think the best of that years decks, plus one of my personal favorite commanders.
Look at the value of the deck.
Fun fact: Of all of the cards in C2015, Kalemne has the most expensive card, second most expensive, THIRD most expensive, as well as ranking at 8, 10, 14, and 15th most expensive. The Kalemne deck ANNIHILATES the other decks value wise.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
It has easily the best value of every deck here, and more than the two non-Atraxa ones COMBINED.

I can't imagine that just because Kalemne has a couple cards in it that people still want the other 98. Kalemne is easily the worst of those decks for that year and two cards being worth a little bit isn't going to change anything. That deck was a mess right out of the box.

This may come as a surprise, but I don't fully care about the value of this product. Most of the value is already there from Atraxa, the rest is a bonus, and I certainly have no need for cards I won't be using from Kalemne, especially when I already have her deck from the first time. Her deck was unfun to play and severely under powered among the five decks that year.
I don't care about gaining value, I just need to make sure that it has enough value to buy it in the first place.

Just because YOU don't want it for value doesn't mean others don't. People were asking why include Kalemne, I answered. If you're throwing down over $100 on one of these things, getting value for it would be something that people would want.

Kalamene does have value but why Daretti does it also have value cause it seems to me you pick Teferi, it is the deck with the greatest commander and you know return to Dominaria synergy.

And others have answered you as to why they don't want it. It's the worst of that year, money or no. It's almost like people want something they like than they don't. It's not hard to understand that they don't like the deck.

Atraxa is the worst deck in here. I've never seen anyone with the budget to buy this product keep any cards from the deck other than Atraxa, Skate, Thrummingbird, Reveillark and the mana rocks. Everything else is useless.
Just like Kaalia, if what you want from this is "the Atraxa deck", you're better off just buying Atraxa and Skate as singles.
Besides the final duel deck first edh esclusive commanders to get the new frame
All are great
Kalemne is a weird choice but good news is finally another urza's incubator reprint that price got a shoot the moon jump from commander 2017 decks since it wasn't there (I'm still shocked to this day they didn't put that in dragons or atleast one of them.) it won't bring it down too much but atleast get it closer to earth again.
And dareti has valuable cards too wurmcoil engine is the best example that will be slightly easier to get. But not by much though.

Greatest Commander? Thats an opinion because Daretti is freaking great aswell, in my opinion. Teferi's deck was kinda weak compared to Daretti that has great synergy and its betetr made then Teferi's deck. Wurmcoil Engine is a value card btw.
I actually had to double check this list of decks for the anthology. This is far, far better than the first anthology they released last year where the only good deck no one probably owned at the time was Heavenly Inferno. This has crazy value in it and it should be easy to pick up your favorite piece of it off Ebay for a fair price. I think Heavenly Inferno ate most of the arbitrage value in the last one.

... currently worth close to $120 in paper, according to MTGGoldfish.
Yeah these decks are crazy good value. And Kalemne is more than fine; I know some of our more casual Commander peeps are always on that Commander making big damage attack steps. It's a great intro Commander. I'm super pumped for new-border Ghave though, and foil Damia for a friend of mine who loves that thing.

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.
I don't get the hate on Kalemne and, to a lesser extent, Daretti. Both decks are chock-full of high value cards, and more importantly, both of these are far from weak straight out of the box compared to their counterparts. Kalemne was the second strongest deck of it's cycle (Meren's more synergistic approach made it better) due to simply coming online fast and hitting rather hard. Daretti was arguably the most powerful out-of-the-box deck of it's year, fighting with Freyalise for that title.
And while Kalemne is not a great commander beyond that, it's still a serviceable voltron/aggro commander, and Daretti is a unique angle of attack for red. Those two are by a stretch the best decks in here. It's just that the sheer pricetag and power of Atraxa kind of eclipses that. But the rest of the Atraxa deck is kind of lackluster, to say the least.

I can safely tell you the main target audience for Commander Anthology are new players to the format (not to the game, the format) and a sizable portion of these players are kitchen table groups that would probably stick with the precon throughout (or make modifications that honestly won't elevate the power levels by much). Even the new players to the format that do improve the deck at the LGS eventually won't be immediately overhauling their deck at one go.
Any experienced EDH player by now would either opt to buy singles and/or buy the one deck that has the most singles applicable to them (some people just want to show support to the LGS, I even know some people who just buy the entire yearly Commander decks as a form of support). Granted, it's only my own experience, but even those who buy the annual Commander decks never bothered with the first Anthology when it came out (to be fair, you either already have the singles you need or the entire deck anyway), so it's fair to say the reach Anthology has with experienced players is way lower than the usual annual Commander Decks.
As someone who has played that particular year's precons out of the box (that was the only year I bought all the decks so I called my friends to get some value games) against each other, I can tell assure you the Teferi deck is not only the weakest, but by a considerable noticeable margin. I was clearly dismantling the decks back then so we just rolled with it (and suffered when it was our turn with Teferi), but I would never recommend the precon to a beginner to the format who will slowly modify the deck (any powerful Teferi build would basically require massive sweeping changes to the precon) and likewise not put it in a product targeting these new players.
On an unrelated manner, I felt a second of agony when I realized that Ghave wasn't foiled... definitely the casualty of Atraxa's inclusion (since he was reprinted there), but I guess his loss was Damia's gain (though I don't run Damia but I understand the joy for those who wanted a foil one). I would say Karador's loss, but Karador has a Judge foil printing. I know Mimeoplasm has an Arsenal printing too, but Kaalia had that too and was in the first Anthology, Riku also has a Judge foil but Animar was just in A25 contending for most desirable foil over there, which by right leaves Zedruu and Ruhan, both without foils, but something tells me that deck ran the worse among the original 5 (they all already had questionable card choices and Zedruu arguably had the "worst" theme in that vacuum of precon quality back then).
Can they just print every unfoiled Commander card in an Arsenal 2 and call it a day? Anthologies, Judge Foils and Masters reprints are nice, but even three of them together aren't keeping up the pace considering there's a new set of decks every year...
Atraxa is the worst deck in here. I've never seen anyone with the budget to buy this product keep any cards from the deck other than Atraxa, Skate, Thrummingbird, Reveillark and the mana rocks. Everything else is useless.
Just like Kaalia, if what you want from this is "the Atraxa deck", you're better off just buying Atraxa and Skate as singles.
LOL, I wanted to play with Reyhan, who goes infinite every time I sneeze (or near infinite, because 92 extra turns still wins you the game). I took Atraxa out of the deck, swapped about half the cards, and it is one of my funnest decks.
No real need to pick up a second copy of the deck, but depending on the price it could be worth getting the other decks.
What is this thing supposed to retail at, again?
Because this is approaching $500 of value in singles...
This is not a good indicator of "value", because not only will they drop (as already mentioned), but because those values are inflated by a bunch of .15, .25, and .35 cent cards that in reality have no value.
Built From Scratch for example, there are only 12 cards worth $2 or more, and the total of those cards are $74 (and Wurmcoil is taking up $25 of that). $74 is a far cry from $103.
Devour for Power has 14 cards worth more $2 or more, and those total a bit under $85 ($16 for Grave Pact), which is considerably less than the $119 price of everything.
Wade into Battle has just NINE $2+ cards in it, for a total of $85. And really, unless you're an absolute beginner, does anyone need a Gisela ($3.30), Sun Titan ($3.60), or Rite of the Raging Storm ($3). You're basically just buying Blade of Selves, Thought Vessel, Urza's Incubator, and Fiery Confluence with this one.
Breed Lethality has the least bulk, with 18 cards worth $2 or more, totaling $98.
There's still value to be had without doubt, esp when the retail price per deck is about $42, but no one is getting $500 worth of singles. It's more like $340, with ~50 valuable cards, four of which are the Sol Rings (and using $2 to define "valuable" is setting a pretty low bar; defining a valuable card as $3 or more eliminates 11 cards from the list). The rest is 350 pieces of bulk you'd be hard pressed to give away.
When the reprints inevitably undercut their price tags, you'll probably be looking at $250 or less, in a $165 product (still fair, and still a good product/good value if you need the cards). This is absolutely worth the $165, but lets not fool ourselves into thinking you can buy it and crack $500 in singles.
One positive takeaway, it should be pretty easy to get all but the Atraxa deck cheaply when buying them individually on the aftermarket. Last year people that bought Anthology 1 bought them to either keep or flip Kaalia, and I saw a pair of the other decks going for as little as $22 each. I'd welcome the chance to get any of the three non-Atraxa decks at a price even close to that.
It has easily the best value of every deck here, and more than the two non-Atraxa ones COMBINED.

Not to mention Magus of the Wheel is a $1 card now. Seems like someone forgot about the A25 reprint, which totally crushed its price tag. That $110.50 list of cards is in reality a $73 list now.

Yeah, I'm really wondering where Teysa_Karlov got the idea that the Kalemne deck's value is "more than the two non-Atraxa ones combined". Even the assertion that it "easily" has the best value of the four is pretty questionable.

You missed one in wade of battle valuables
urza's incubator is in that one it's a $19 dollar card and that jump was only because it was in none of the commander 2017 products
Ah yes, I did miss it in my "recap" of good cards (since edited, thanks), but I did include it in my total of 9 $2+ cards in the deck totaling $85, so those figures are still correct.

When the reprints inevitably undercut their price tags, you'll probably be looking at $250 or less, in a $165 product (still fair, and still a good product/good value if you need the cards). This is absolutely worth the $165, but lets not fool ourselves into thinking you can buy it and crack $500 in singles.
One positive takeaway, it should be pretty easy to get all but the Atraxa deck cheaply when buying them individually on the aftermarket. Last year people that bought Anthology 1 bought them to either keep or flip Kaalia, and I saw a pair of the other decks going for as little as $22 each. I'd welcome the chance to get any of the three non-Atraxa decks at a price even close to that.
Not to mention Magus of the Wheel is a $1 card now. Seems like someone forgot about the A25 reprint, which totally crushed its price tag. That $110.50 list of cards is in reality a $73 list now.
You missed one in wade of battle valuables
urza's incubator is in that one it's a $19 dollar card and that jump was only because it was in none of the commander 2017 products
