See, this kind of stuff is why I encourage people to buy proxies for everything other than tournament play. If you're buying singles anyway, why pay $15 or more for a card when you can pay 30 cents?
1000$? That's a pretty funny joke. But at least they're poking the reserve list. The time to get rid of it altogether was about 10 years ago.
I hope all three people who will buy the gold border packs enjoy them. Yeah yeah, cash grab. But how much cash are they really grabbing? If they had charged 100$ instead of 1000, lots of people would have bought it. As is, anyone who buys in just looks stupid. They could have sold way more than 10x as much by charging 1/10th the price.
But again, the more they chip away at the existence of the reserve list the better. Tear it down!

This will have zero impact on the RL.
These are proxies, at best (1000$ for 60 randomized proxies at that). The CE/IE versions had no impact on the RL, they are worth thousands of dollars AND used to sell for 50$ for ALL of them.
If you believe this will do any "damage" to the RL, it's just wishful thinking. I thought initially that this would be a boon for the OS community, but after finding out both the price and the availability, this will not have any impact whatsoever.
Totally a missed opportunity on this one. What a massive fail on WotC's part. Hopefully this is their version of New Coke!

The point was this is the closest they've skirted to printing RL cards since the FTV Relics fiasco. If no one complains here like the massive uprising of RL supporters did over a decade ago, they'll keep moving closer and closer. That is the end game.
Finally found some great partners for Phyrexian Dragon Engine: Goblin Engineer and Goblin Welder! Trade that dragon engine in and out of the graveyard and draw lots of cards that way! Goblin Engineer even tutors that card directly into the graveyard! If both the Engineer and the Welder die to removal, you still get one last CA hurrah by Unearthing Phyrexian Dragon Engine with its own ability. Bonus points for using Unearth!
First, I'm very pleased with the Time Stretch reprint in the new, modern border, with that beautiful new art. Definitely a card I'm going to be picking up. Hopefully there will be others like it that I will pursue.
I think the RL "reprints" are ultimately good news - that WOTC is willing to experiment with reprinting RL cards in a minimally invasive manner to the collectors market and their past promise. In the short term, it seems like bad news - a transient cash grab for absurdly expensive proxies - but has impressive long term prospects and implications for introducing RL EDH legal cards in the future. No way I personally would pay that price for proxies I can't use, but here's to a future with black border Mox Diamond and new art duals for commander, if this proves a success. This is merely testing the waters.
I love the art on Snapcaster, but I'm not bothering. Otherwise, I'm pleased enough with Time Stretch and ignoring the rest.

Exactly. In the future they can say "nobody complained that we reprinted Black Lotus (not tournament legal). They only complained about the price of the packs."
And hey, would anybody actually mind if they reprinted pack like these at reasonable prices? If instead of $250 a pack, these were the price of a standard pack, would you be annoyed? I certainly wouldn't. I'd love it.

That's the complaint from everyone I've seen so far. It's the price point. That price point is aimed at...who exactly? It would make sense to make this at 100$ entry point, but 1000$ does give credence to the "testing the waters" approach. I'm sure wotc knows very well that the price point is a total joke. This is the only logical game plan for this. If it's anything but this, they must truly believe that we will buy anything at any price. Scratch that, that's more likely what they are doing. Testing the waters to see how much they charge for gambling. If it sells out (which I'm sure it will), it only enforces the message that they were right and it's really all downhill from here.
- And finally....what?! What is this hot garbage final announcement? In my opinion, this is the pinnacle of WOTC greed and hypocrisy. I guess WOTC couldn't do a 30th anniversary without a representation of its own recurring role - giving the middle finger to its players. I sincerely hope the backlash to this product is severe enough to trigger a course correction.
Yep 100% truth.
Problem is they will sell every one they produce to all the dbag whales with cash to burn and then claim it was a massive success. Then the next go around it will be 500 dollars a pack and then 1000 a pack and so on. The only option is to chastise and shun people that buy these at these prices. Other than that we just take the abuse. Or quit the game potentially. That's the only options.

It's for the whales/leviathans and the "collectors" that treat this game like a stock market. I'm sure a majority of the packs will be bought by them, if not 90%+.
To everyone complaining about he price point for a pack of basically official proxies: you're right 1) the price is exorbitant and 2) this is aimed at a very specific market of collectors (yes, "whales").
This isn't a bad thing. If they hadn't announced this product, Reserved list cards would continue to be expensive and people who don't play sanctioned tournaments would still proxy cards.
Here's why this is good news:
1) WotC is showing willingness to "poke" at the reserved list, seeing the feedback here will tell them if they can start rolling it back in some manner in the future.
2) For people who want "bling", there is now new "bling"
3) There might be a (temporary and very slight) dip in the cost of duals and some other RL cards from the people who think their "investment" is going to be tanked by this or some similar future action by WotC.
If you didn't want to buy this, you haven't lost out on anything, but there are good things this can lead to even if you arent one of the "whales".
As rowan said, I don't think this will affect the normal player at all, really. You can't even play with these, so it's purely a collector item and not a ticket for the rich to buy their way into vintage/legacy.
It's certainly a bad look, but ultimately harmless. Hell, maybe it'll tank after the speculators got their grubby hands on it, because nobody actually wants it due to the unplayability. That would be nice. Speculators hurt the game more than this 30th anniversary whalebait.
I just think it's hilarious how much they tried to make it look attractive. Like, the people who buy this aren't interested in "an experience". They either buy it because they can (prestige) or they buy it to sell it (profit). Trying to make it sound good to the average player watching is just completely missing the mark. And drumming this up as a "big thing for MtG's 30th" is also a fail because apart from the negative press it won't be a big thing to the average player, or a thing at all really. Just another Secret Lair, just way overpriced and unobtainable.
See, this kind of stuff is why I encourage people to buy proxies for everything other than tournament play. If you're buying singles anyway, why pay $15 or more for a card when you can pay 30 cents?
No, never buy proxies. Do not support people who directly profiteer from other peoples work. Buy a printer, make your own proxies. It's really easy, helps develop manual skills, helps develop image manipulation computer skills and the end result is unique and rewarding. Hell, even just printing and cutting out paper rectangles to put in sleeves with draft chaff is better.

Yes, that is the proper price point - same as the original packs, adjusted for inflation. With print run similar to current sets. As it is I will have clear conscience printing my own "playtest cards".
By the way if those cards are not tournament legal can I pay for them with monopoly money, right? Same legality.
The catch? It's worth $999 for the 4-booster display
Not sure I would use the word "worth" - it may be priced for that much, but it sure isn't worth it. It cost them just as much to print those as a standard booster, and these proxies aren't even legal for play.
Ok now we’re never gonna hear the end of it that “wizards is greedy” people now.
Ok now we’re never gonna hear the end of it that “wizards is greedy” people nowfrom the people who have undeniably been proven right. Fixed that for you.
I get that WOTC is a business and the purpose of a business is to make money. I have no issue with that. But $1,000 for 60 randomized proxies?! There is no justification for that.
no it’s the first time ever they have proof (that's obvious the MSRP removal, Double profits and potentially secret lairs are the less obvious ones)
The $1,000 for 4 packs of random proxy’s from beta was the only thing people hated
I’m not seeing complaints on anything else ?
The pre-release gifts are all useful cards to players
What?! Are you seriously suggesting this is the first evidence we have of greed by WOTC? I don't even know where to begin.....
1. Elimination of MSRP
2. Secret Lairs (Related: Claims that they don't recognize the secondary market, but pricing of this product says they very much do)
3. Profit doubling in 1 year
Those are just off the top of my head.
Also, to the extreme few contrarians who are trying to spin this product as a win because it's "a step towards eliminating the reserved list". No it's not. It's a very delicate threading of the needle purposefully designed to allow WOTC to cash in on reserved list demand while also creating enough caveats to make it legally defensible in the event someone would attempt to sue under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. There is nothing to suggest this is a step towards anything but making money.
If people want to buy overpriced proxies, they have the right to, but what a dumb product in general lol. Even the most cash -grabby products have had at least some redeeming features that I could see even if I couldn't justify buying some for myself.That said, I can't jump through hoops to find any good quality out of "hey, pay an insane amount of money for fake cards at the chance of opening some fake cards that you probably won't get the chance to open a real version of so this can be a replacement for real excitement!"

None of those things are “greed”. The company isn’t laying people off to pad it’s profit margins or cutting cost with polluting manufacturing methods or selling a necessity like food/housing/healthcare at a price that people who need those things to survive cannot afford it.
Selling a luxury item at a price that people are willing to pay for that item (maybe not you, but some people are) isn’t greed, its the reason the company exists. Its no different than selling a draft booster box for 120, except that the number of people willing to pay the price point for the product is significantly smaller.
this is a product that should make you angry. it should make you very angry.
you're paying $1,000 for 4 randomized boosters that could be nothing more than 4 laces as your rares. they aren't even tournament legal. its a celebration of community that the community can't even afford to enjoy. it says hey proxies are okay if these are, and once that seed is planted you have to wonder why you're buying product at all.
don't accept this as normal and absolutely do not buy it. not even the singles.

Abusing your customers is greed.
This is the very definition of greed.
intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.
"mercenaries who had allowed greed to overtake their principles"
There are legit people addicted to packs, especially rich people that need a new "high" to open something special and continue to do so, for them its simply gambling, its exactly the same as a addicted gambler that will sell everything and steal from anybody just to get another shot.
WotC is in a abusive relationship with these people, thats why gambling and especially drugs absolutely need regulation and save guards, which dont really exist at all for WotC and their crack (as in gambling in a lot of countries you are limited how much money you can lose per hour, and similar things to protect the people that become victims).
A company is obvisiously going to make money, however, there are bad business practices and abusing customers for profit, which very obviously are not justified at all, by simply saying "Well its a company, it has to make a profit".
WotC is milking its customers for decades, and they increasingly provide less for more money, and push more product on people to milk even more money out of them.
The entire ideology movement is to emotional abuse people into support for a product they would otherwise not support, so WotC is using any angle possible to find some reason to push a product on people and a bunch of these reasons are bad business practices.
Unfair business practices encompass fraud, misrepresentation, and oppressive or unconscionable acts or practices by business, often against consumers, and are prohibited by law in many countries.
Just like video game companies pushing loot boxes and the like, at best WotC is walking the edge of what they are allowed to do in some countries laws, questionable in some other areas and basically just a law suit away from being put to trial.
At this point, this anti-customer behavior has to be questioned and it becomes more and more blatantly obvious to more people.
don't accept this as normal and absolutely do not buy it. not even the singles.
Exactly. Then take it another step and shun those who do buy it sealed or as secondary singles. Don't play against them and tell them why. Yes that is harsh but its the only thing an individual can do. They are part of the problem, not the solution.
This whole Tolarian professor angle of "just buy singles" and that makes you better or apart from the problem is a fallacy. You still support the whale that bought them and support WotC through them. Don't buy this 30th anniversary scam crap!!! Ignore it. Don't even watch the inevitable opening on YouTube by Rudy and the rest of the dbag whales. Ignore them, don't give them views, that is money people! Ignore the product, don't touch it, shun those who do and don't be tempted by clickbait online videos that monetize this crap behavior.

I hope all three people who will buy the gold border packs enjoy them. Yeah yeah, cash grab. But how much cash are they really grabbing? If they had charged 100$ instead of 1000, lots of people would have bought it. As is, anyone who buys in just looks stupid. They could have sold way more than 10x as much by charging 1/10th the price.
But again, the more they chip away at the existence of the reserve list the better. Tear it down!
