I haven't bought any sealed Masters products, and don't expect to this time either, but Masters sets before have pushed their non-Mythic single prices down, so there's a good chance I end up with a copy of Through the Breach, as well as any Pauper downgrades or expensive low-rarity reprints like Serum Visions, Fatal Push, Darkness, Eldrazi Temple or Lightning Greaves
Well that was an interesting announcement. That MSRP though, wow. Who is planning to buy a box? What are your thoughts on the set?
Despite the high price, I think this set will sell on pre-orders alone as people race to the bottom to get peoples dollars. GameNerdz already had two waves sell out: one at 220 and another at 240 a box. I don't think it is worth it to buy unless someone is interested in investing in the boxes for down the road. The problem is that the rest of the set is going to be pretty much mass printed garbage outside of these few cards already spoiled. Wizards of the Coast long ago went overboard on printing certain cards and as a result have no way to stack the value in the common and uncommon slots without doing something extremely unorthodox.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
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!
If I can get a cheap Life From The Loam I'll be happy, but I'm not buying any boosters.
The Masters series always seems like it's eating it's own lunch, because they're always a potentially exciting reprint set hamstrung by high price and low printings.
