Curled right out of the box? Yeah, that should give buying confidence to anyone who wants these. WoTC should put together a team to figure out how to do foils that resist curling. Make it an important priority. There’s no excuses not to do that.
one of each basic? that's some bulls**t. 20 of each? hey are beautiful, I'll buy. ONE of each? nobody in the history of ever has had a use for ONE of each basic. go DIRECTLY to Hell WotC
this product line loks like they started out with a interesting idea and then very deliberately made the worst possible version of it

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.

Lets be honest with ourselves, WotC has been increasingly like that since they started the Masters sets. Every once and a while do they knock something out of the park.

oh, probably longer than that. I am trying to remember ANYTHING but Ultimate Masters and Kaladesh block that were not that, and there is nothing, for years now. even Modern Horizons was good, but could have been infinitely better if there hadn't been just 4 cards stronger than in a regular set. the whole 'too strong for Standard' and 'balanced for limited' narrative was when we really went off a cliff, with just those 2 bright points since

For those that will fork over the asking price for any/all of these, I’m happy they’re getting some level of satiation from these. I’m not one of those people and that’s fine too. I have enough casual for-the-family kitchen top decks I’m busy foiling out/filling out that’s taking up most of my attention to build. For myself, it’s simply carry-on.
Have they confirmed these are all foils? Because, other than the lands, none of them look like they are foiled which means a foiled Bloodghast being $25 doesn't matter much if that isn't what we are getting.
So far, the cats, Bitterblossom, and the Life From the Loam and Bloodghast boxes are pretty sweet if they come in foil. If not, then it is a hard pass. I probably should pass anyway but Bitterblossom and the Dredge one are still a good deal if they are foil. Since none of them are curled like the lands were, I am assuming they are not foil.
Also, the land one is *****. I get that the current going rate for foil lands is at, or above, $10 each. But, as others have mentioned, most players don't need just 1 basic land which means it will still cost quite a bit to get the number needed for a deck (depending on how many basics you run). They should have done something else there and printed the lands in a set where people could actually get their hands on them for a decent price.
Just to give people a perspective of how awful the price ratio is with the snow-covered foil basics.
$29.99 (baseline) for 1 of each snow basic. (5 cards)
$719.76 for 24 of each snow basic. (120 cards)
$1049.65 for 35 of each snow basic. (175 cards)
$1499.5 for 50 of each snow basic. (250 cards)
Eh. I guess some collectors will covet this release but it’s really not for me. Which is a relief. Let’s get on to the Theros spoilers. I’ll want to save for those collector packs for sure so I’m glad I don’t need to lose my mind over this.
The second is nothing more than one of each basic in snow form
And they coming out curled just like with the from the vault cards

golgari thug
Life from the Loam
bloodghast
Well it’s a little better but the cost is above what the cards are worth
30$ for 20$ worth of cards and golgari thug is just barely about a dollar
And it’s not even 5 cards just 3 in the grave one

Wow that is some *****. Definitely feel pretty let down right now.
Seeing Visions is a set of Serum Visions, each with new/trippy/cool art

I am thoroughly disgusted by this.
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
that one is just a playset of serum vision each one with different art
There’s something wrong with them on this product commander 2020 is more promising for the fans (or the year of commander is more exciting)
Regulars are just 3$ But foils are 14$ though I will give them that
This is almost comical at this point.
I’d consider it too if that is Kaleidoscope Killer.
LIARS!!!
They are lied to use it’s not bomb related it’s goblin tribal related
That’s number 5
Very painful to see lackey is the only one above 10$

That’s the only one I’m interested in then since that’s much cooler art of sliver overlord, the Ur-dragon and the reaper king
Is it just those 3 (surprised morophon wasn’t in it.)
Just look
OMG.... it’s gone from bad to worse
Not only it’s only 24 hours There’s only 10 available per customer for each one
Didn’t think they could possibly give something I wanted, but here we are.
What is Kaleidoscope Killers going for from Wizards, $39.99?
