Unrelated, I bought one single booster pack, like I always do with Masters sets, in part for excitement, but mostly to remind myself that buying Masters set boosters is a terrible idea. I opened this glorious pack:
$15 well spent! *sigh* I guess that as a reminder to not crack boosters, this did its job excellently.
I remember doing that with MM15 on Black Friday last year, since the pack was cheaper. Was expecting crap, got a Noble Hierarch and two foil rares. Huh. Guess that's why they call boosters a lottery.
Haha. I did the same. Pulled a.... Wait for it.... Call The Sky Breaker. Yup. The funny part is the store owner had a thing going where the first one to pull CtSB got a free pack! That was me. Free pack pull you ask? Jareth, Lionan Titan. Nice. :|
Meanwhile, prices in Europe are tanking: many of the best rares have lost 50% value, all chase uncommons are available for 1-2€ and even some of the mythics have fallen down, Mana Crypt in particular. Although I've bought 2 boxes and so I'm losing some money, I'm honestly more than happy: this can lead at least to easier supply of good cards for EDH or Legacy budget, and I don't see anything wrong about it!
For the time being. Prices did the same after MM1 and MM2; people trying to turn their big pull into big bucks. This leads to people (on magiccardmarket especially) to dump their cards at low prices. I predict that in a few weeks, you'll see the rares and mythics creep back up, especially the foils of cards that haven't gotten a foil printing before.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Just went from release.
Opened Autocrat, Ashnod Altar, Visara and Havoc demon. Sooo sweet for turns 4-5.
And Keldon Marauders + Reckless Charge is a pretty insane combo. Feels like I'm just started playing. A good feeling.
Would be good if they actually reprinted shardless agent as an uncommon not rare

712.5b The controller of another player can't make choices or decisions for that player that aren't called for by the rules or by any objects. The controller also can't make any choices or decisions for the player that would be called for by the tournament rules.
Example: The player who's being controlled still chooses whether he or she leaves to visit the restroom, trades a card to someone else, agrees to an intentional draw, or calls a judge about an error or infraction.

I got a Foil Dack Fayden, no clue what to do with it honestly.

That`s a great start for putting together your pimped out vintage deck! Haha. No, let it sit in your trade binder, there`s an EDH player out there that HAS to have it.
