This was a perfect opportunity to downgrade GoST. They drop the ball yet again. And Kemba??? I've run out of insults.

the price tag for this product looks worse and worse when not buying in bulk, and the gambling aspect of it becomes more and more apparent.
i think the community needs to start having serious talks after this thing gets released.
Agreed. The EV of a box might turn out to be quite fine, but individual packs are such a lottery. Scratch that, you probably need to buy a *case* before you're assured actually getting your EV.

I think we have been vocal over the past several Masters Sets. Problem is it is falling on deaf ears. Whales keep buying this crap so it will continue. About all we can do is buy singles on the secondary market like scavengers picking off a few scraps from the carcass.

Its not falling on deaf ears. You point out yourself what the real problem is. The competitive player bases says "hey, i think there is a problem here." And whales yell "OMG GIVE ME MORE!!! MORE OF THIS!!! MORE!!!" As long as their target market isn't the little guy they will listen to the whales instead.
It is ridiculous that something like this is even in the set as it has no real relation to the overall theme of "doubling" or artifacts. I will say though on a positive note that Geist of Saint Traft was a BEAST in limited and he practically singlehandedly won me the Innistrad release tournament back in the day. His lore is awesome too.
Shame he was overprinted into oblivion, and now we are here...
Critisim breeds growth. If you are unable to accept that, then you are a part of the problem.

It actually does prove my point. They have selective hearing. Listen to the Whales, ignore the Minnows. Hence we Minnows cries fall on deaf ears.
