I guess I'm scared to ask what specific blunder are people roasting WoTC on right now.

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!
I got it.
I finally got it.
WoTC wanted to encourage nostalgia with this set, and nothing feels more nostalgic than playing with your old friends on a kitchen table.
Yup, this.
Along with heading down to the LGS, spending heaps of money, tearing open some boosters, and immediately being met with an overwhelming sense of crawling regret.

Just to clarify I'm not defending the card choice, but it's highly suspicious that this was exactly the last Mythic to be revealed, considering Akroma was among the earliest ones (obviously not first, since the heavy-lifter Wallet Sculptor had to give the opening speech).
I got it.

You may not be far from the truth. After all, the set is not called "Money Masters" nor "Tournament Staple Masters".
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

No, but you are essentially paying way more for this than someone should have to given the contents of the set. I'd almost prefer not having the chalice and jace lotto if that was the reason for the huge price tag on the box.

Red akroma should have made me realize the white one would be in as well.
