If the foiling effect is reasonable (i.e. better than previous years' FTVs) I'll trade down my overly dark Jace WWK foil for one of the new ones. And make lots of money.
@wtwlf you don't want foil Fyndhorn Elves with good art??? #ucrazy
This set is awesome for me. A full 17/20 cards will be going directly into my cube since I either don't have foil versions of them or like the art on this version better. Also getting one for MSRP from my FLGS. Today is a good day
Yeah I really want the Fyndhorn and the Hymn! This Dark Rit is also awesome and it's great that we now have this art in foil (though Masques foil still trumps all).
The Akroma's Vengeance looks really nice too actually. What's a fair preorder price for this set?
If anyone could get me one, even remotely near MSRP, I'd be eternally grateful. I don't have a store anywhere near that has this available. Battle Rage managed to get me a couple back in the day, but haven't seen him on here for a while.
I feel I am on the other side of everyone. While I agree that this box is almost entirely packed with awesome cube cards, I am not really excited for much of the new art. I don't like the new Hymn, Venser, or Tangle Wire better. The elves are better, but I still find them a little eh.
On the other hand, I am still lacking a JTMS for my cube, and I hope this will save me a few bucks! Goodking is right about the foiling though. Have to wait and see!

I have a better one already. And even though this art is new, it replaces one bad art with another bad art. But at least the new bad art is foiled, I guess.
So this set has a bunch of good cards, but none of the new art is better, and the foiling process (if it's like other FTVs) is awful, and the set symbol is horrendous.
I'm glad I don't need/want any of these cards for my cube (especially since it'll be expensive).
My sdcc set arrived (finally) yesterday and I gotta say... They look SO good in person. The font is a tiny bit harder to read compared to the pack versions (nothing bad, just an observation). I like the Ajani the best.
I'm only planning to keep the Chandra and Ajani though. Maybe Liliana.
Yeah, I managed to get my hands on my favourite SDCC promo, Chandra. Not sure about cubing it over the original just yet though. I might just keep it in my binder at look at it sometimes, 'cos it's pretty.

I got an offer at 200 myself. Sadly, I'll probably snap sell the Jace to any taker.
I like the new Hymn and Elves. Pretty.

Looks like around 250-300 on ebay.

Ugh... it's that damned Jace driving prices up!

Every MM foil I've seen so far has been amazing!
kinda biased, usually like the first print foil more in most cases
(except for like Bloodbraid Elf,, Wall of Roots)

Definitely this. MM foiling is great, but CHK foiling is good and the new art is a big step down.
