Sorry to necro an ancient thread, but I would love to see any updates on this deck. Kozzie is one of my favorite decks to run and would love to hear how others are finding some of the fun new additions.
Glad it will not cause riots as predicted when first announced. It's *just* on obvious cash grab (what from WOTC isn't these days?). Easy to pass on this one and move on.
I don't think there will be as many individual players buying booster packs. $16 is a lot. If you look at the list of cards on mtgstocks.com, there are over 2/3 of the rares that are not worth more than $5 or are not staples in various formats. If you draw two lower-priced rares from that list, it's a major feel-bad.
Retailers and people with a lot of money will likely be the only ones buying the boxes outright to sell singles.
Agreed, but never underestimate the power of a lottery ticket. That's exactly what these are. Lottery tickets. The only difference is that you're guaranteed to get something from a pack of magic cards whereas you likely get nothing from the scratch ticket. Anybody who's ever bought packs of magic to try to get value knows this, and this is no different.
The filter lands are a total let down, this was the perfect set for fetches to get reprinted.
It would've sold so many packs.
This set is already gonna sell so many packs. They've never done two rares per pack before. They included all the enemy swords. The quality of the reprints is through the roof. Now they can include the fetch lands in a different product and continue to sell. They know what they're doing, They're printing money. And if anybody believes that they are not influenced with the secondary market, this is proof.
That's some weaksauce right there
