They tried to cash-grab from newbies, reprint hunters, and Commander players, and imo,
they failed at all but the last of those.
And Commander HARDLY needed the help.
So Hasbro/WotC are killing this game at the maximum speed imaginable because, hey, MONEY!!!
But at least I finally got the reanimator commander I've been wanting since 2012?
What makes this feel like a cash grab to you? Yeah, it's a product they sell for money, but it's not like secret lairs or the 30th anniversary thing. It's just a mediocre product most of us will ignore. Not really a cash grab. Just a middling product in a year overstuffed with other products.
I'm not trying to say Wizards can do no wrong. But what's actually wrong with this? Some of the new cards are kinda cool. I'll buy as much of it as I did the last jumpstart. Which is none. But this doesn't feel like them milking the cow to death to me. Just feels unnecessary with all the other releases.

Not as many amazing reprints but still quite a bit of spice like last time.
This one probably crawled off from the Insect pack.
And finally, the set's basics, because we don't have the unique basic per pack gimmick anymore.
