Sweeney, my thought is that there will be 1 or 2 cards that people really want, and the rest a bunch of filler stuff, pretty much like the other limited print stuff they make. This set needs to be produced in the amount of sets like Unglued, etc, with real cards that people want. But, alas, I'm pretty positive that will not be the case.
This argument could be easily solved in one of two ways. 1. Put a button a the interface that allows the player to press it and make the magical noise they want to here, that gives them the warm fuzzy feeling of shuffling their deck. Or, 2. putting a button on the interface that will allow the player to reramdomize their deck, ie shuffle it.
I really would have thought they would have made irl Masters Edition packs to sell. It gives them a way to reprint older cards without having to make them go thru standard. I would buy a few boxes, and I never buy cards by the box.
How about something like: Modern: Deckbuilders Toolkit. put about 300 random mondern playable commons and uncommons and 5 random rare staples for Modern. Sell it for $30. I'd buy them.
I love the format, and cant wait for the reprints of some of the more expensive cards are made. I would love to get 4 ofs of the staples for this format, but the budgetcan be tight at times. Any guesses as to when they might start reprinting? What are your opinions of what they reprint first? I think Goyf is an obvious one, as are the shocklands.
Wow, I think I'm the only one playing 4-land Charbelcher. I have always loved this deck and Modern lets me play it again and got me back into Magic. Plus, it doesnt matter the matchup and it can go off turn 1 on a perfect draw.
I think selling sets at an MSRP of $100 would not interfere with the secondary market, except for the $100 Jace, which no one wants anyway. Make it a B&M item only. Imagine the collectibility of older, unopened sets down the road too.
By no one wants, I mean no one wants the price to be that high, except those that paid less for them.
I have always said that they should sell complete sets, not individual cards. The baseball companies used to do this, usually at the end of the season, and it never hurt pack sales. It was a one time, one chance to order, once they are out they are gone. I think this would still keep the cards collectible and would also help with the costs of some cards.
