I wish someone would crunch the numbers. Sorry at work and not enough time.
Are we at like 75% of cards that are artifacts or mention or affect artifacts.

these couldn't have been reprinted in a core set?
maybe a standard legal set?
maybe a commander precon?
did they really need to find their way into expensive as **** packs?
Reshape sees play from time to time, in modern it was used to pick the suspend Lotus and the Mox opal. It should stay above $2 imo. Master of Etherium had 2 prints alread and saw play in only a fez edh decks (hardly on modern, just saw it one time in modern actually) it is good but will go bellow $2 easy.
Both would be fine reprints in a set with $5 packs.
Exactly. The issue isn't the cards reprinted, it's the price of the packs.
Quoted for the gosh honest, absolute 100% gospel truth!!!
I love capitalism but this is gross.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

So Star City has booster boxes for 310, which is about 13 dollars per pack. However, you get 2 box toppers in the box worth some amount of money, let's say $50 on average. That drops the average price of the packs in a sense to around 11 dollars per pack. Each pack has 2 rare slots, so you're paying around $5.50 per rare slot...which isn't *too* far away from a booster box with 5 dollar packs and only 1 rare per booster. Like, I'm not going to argue that the prices on these boosters aren't on the high side, because they are. But keep in mind that Ultimate Masters had boxes preordering for ~250$ if I remember correctly, and with double masters for $60 extra bucks you get 24 more rares/mythics and 24 more foils.
Obviously this isn't a true apples to apples comparison, but I feel that when you break it down, it definitely balances out some.
If the opal wasn’t banned master would have been a great reprint
Also it's Reshape first ever reprint so this will be a Bulk pull
