Here's the link to the complete Saviors product page. I'm sure many of you have already been there. If this is already somewhere, please delete this.....I didn't see anything.
Well Thoughts of Ruin in a Precon is one of the more memorable rares in Precon history...

that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
Wow, these decks have pretty good rares IMO, like herder said, Arashi, Jiwari, Thoughts of Ruin, Akuta, and even at uncommon a Hand of Cruelty. I say that's pretty good, I might buy some.
Yeah, nothing really of note in these precons, baring the Thoughts of Ruin of course, but I don't see it being an overall pricy card, as armageddon was never really that high, even in the hayday of Ernham-geddon and Autumn-geddon (1995-6) baby!
MEH! Nothing like the jitte or skullclamp. BTW-Why in the name of satan would the wizos make an unfoccused life gain based pre-con. Must buy to see how much of teh suxorz these are.

Well, I think we can all agree that none of these cards' monetary values are going to be held back by precon value. None of them look as mouth-watering as Jitte, although Jiwari and Arashi I think are going to be nice rares. It even looks like you could simply buy two of the R/G deck, consolidate, and have a really, really nice deck. That way, you can get the ultimate uses out of Jiwari and Arashi by having bodies on the field doing their job, and clearing the skies, or ground, as needed, since you can have the other in your hand.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
Truth Seekers had so good rares in it. The Green Kirin for life gain and White Flip for massive creature protection.
Gain the 30 life and play the Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant and it's an eazy flip, too easy.
The others are good but I like this one the best.

The Bounteous Kirin is an overlooked bomb in a Spirit/Arcane heavy deck, and while it's value is not going to go so high thanks to the other kirin, and it being available in one of these precons, I do think we may see it guest starring in a couple of competitive decks in Kami block constructed.
Nice to know you can get it in a precon if you want it though

Agreed.....whats awesome is you drop a Myojin of Life's Web to a Nourishing Shoal with this puppy out and you have your self 20 life easy, 11 of which mostly uncounterable. I know that situation will be few and far between, but indeed a heavy spirit craft deck will enjoy the rather constant flow of lifegain.
The G/W precon would be excellent with just some consolidation for the better creatures, adding maybe two more of the two Rares, and a few time of needs, and this deck's goal of [mostly] immune creatures is a breeze. I'm a gonna pick me up a pair of precons.
Anyone who doesn't think Thoughts is worth it should check how much playsets of it are going for on ebay. It's second only to Pithing Needle and Twincast on most occasions. Add in Akuta, who's going for moderate prices, and the deck's made up its cost plus a few dollars/pounds. I'll be buying three, most likely, after seeing the market prices of said rares.
It is really looking like GR is the deck to play at regionals. Add in the fact that ponza also wants ToR and its no suprise that it is highly valued.
I agree that the precons don't look like much. perhaps the red/black one is the one to get, since it does have some decent rares in it. its probably better for the market to stabalize. a lot of people are in saviors frenzy right now as the rish to get cards is high.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.

Yea they reallly all suck. I wish they were smart and put the Maro in each Box. Might get some more $$$. I mean seriously some decks have like only 10 Saviors cards
The black/red and the green/red precons both have 2 good rares, akuta/thought of ruin and arashi/jirashi. Those 4 rares are high on my list of playable SoK rares and thanks to this they'll be easy to get.
It is a pity that even better cards like Pithing Needle, Kagemaro, Twincast etc. weren't in the precons but do you really expect wizards to make a mistake like jitte 2 sets in a row?
Arashi/Jirashi? I think someone has the pokémon Jirachi in mind :tongue2:
I myself like the B/R precon a lot. 2 Good rares + Hand of Cruelty and that's enough reason to crack open a box of those (even though I already have 2 ToR, 1 Akuta, and 2 HoC :cool:). But I'll wait and buy singles off Rancored_elf. A lot of singles off Rancored_elf
Anyone else think it's rather unfair to expect a bomb like the Jitte in every set's precons? I mean, these are supposed to be cheap decks that new players can use to form the basis of real decks....
I think the last time a preconstructed deck ever became any interest to me was the Apocolypse Ones. But the pre-con decks are really not built for Uberness.
