Everybody seems strangely short-sighted for the value-obession. Just wait a few years, and these tanked prices will be way up again. It's not rocket science, it happens every time. Be glad for tanked prices while they last. Get your Defense of the Heart now. Prices will go up and we all know it.
Normally I would agree but reminder this is print on demand set so that won’t happen for a while till they decide to stop/fans stop asking for it
But yes it will go up eventually just not till near the time they stop printing this set
Ultimately, each card in this entire set has the approximate rarity of a normal mythic in a normal set (from what I am told, at least).
While the somewhat higher price of these packs matter, most $20 cards here would have their prices impacted if they were printed as mythics in a normal set.
It all adds up.
Actually boxes are alike 103-118 so that’s like 4.30 per pack and getting a unlimited print run (print on demand)
That’s why the cards are dropping lots will pop out in stores
The prices for cards in this set have tanked really bad. I figured the foils would drop, but Sen Triplets is 16 bucks! A friend was really excited he pulled two Expropriates, and it was a decent pull for sure, but not at all what he expected. On the flipside, this is a really fun draft environment and I look forward to doing it as much as possible!
Isn't that one of the goals with reprint sets? To depress prices by making cards more accessible.
Indeed
People found it hard to believe it would happen this time because of so many cards
But that theory backfired because mystery booster got confirmed as print on demand product (unlimited print run)

About 103-115 dollars so a price for a pack that’s about 4.30-4.80$ so about 5 dollars a pack and that’s coincidently the price of regular old standard set packs
So approximately 46% of the rares/mythics will pay for a booster so almost coin flip odds
And I’m sure some of you know I just heard about this...unlimited print run
And you can forget about Walmart/target getting these
And my source for all this is none other than Tolarian community college he even gave mystery booster a “A+” product
Oh yea let’s not forget to mention the fact that quite a bit of these are likely to show up in commander legends reprint list
Atleast plenty of card prices due to scarcity will drop immensely (crucible was mythic in M19 lost 2/3 of the price)
Core sets are massively printed and the boosters low-priced. This set will probably have a print run not terribly different from a Masters set, and prices similarly premium. I would expect the net effect on the pricing of most reprinted cards to be ... comparable to the effect of Masters set reprints. Which tends to be modest and oftentimes temporary.
The only real place I could see a price impact is that foil slot. There will be 121 cards that will now have a foil instance in circulation that is just as frequent in this set as any nonfoil mythic is in a 'normal' set. For cards that had a high-demand foil premium multiplier, this will represent a substantial boost in circulation of that card at the foil level.
Any specific large-set mythic at foil is ordinarily, what, one per ~3000 packs? Any one reprinted here is 1 in 121 packs. Even if this is printed WAAAAAY less than a standard set, that's an enormous increase in foil circulation.
Ok yea that was a bad example
burgeoning is a better one 30$ and crashed all the way 10$ but that’s probably not the best choice either with take the crown and C16
But the point is cards There’s a chance the scarcity cards that don’t see much play outside commander should drop a little bit despite how many cards are in this reprint set
10 slots are 2-per-monocolor cards that are ‘uncommons’ or ‘commons’ (obv equally represented in this set, But cards that were uncommon or common in the set they’re being reprinted-from). Each slot is a unique print sheet, so you’ll get one card from White Sheet 1, one card from White Sheet 2, one from Blue Sheet 1, and so on.
One sheet is just like above but for multicolored cards, and one sheet is just like above but for artifacts-or-lands.
One slot is rares-and-mythics-from-M15-and-later, of any color(s) or lack thereof. Again the difference between rare and mythic here is purely ornamental, as each card is actually equally mythic (1 in 121) whether its set symbol is gold or red.
One slot is specifically cards pre-M15. These could be cards showing any rarity, but I expect these will be basically another ‘notable cards’ slot, where when it isn’t an actual rare it’s a ‘good’ common or uncommon from long ago (demonic tutor, lotus petal, Rhystic study, etc). The non-noteworthy old sub-rares would have been on the first 12 sheets.
And the last slot at retail is the foil that we don’t know anything about yet but I expect it to also be aimed at being a ‘good card’ (either some value or draft utility).
I expect most of the value, and most of the draft bombs, to be in those last three slots. The first 12 slots will likely be draft deck decents but constructed collection bulk.
Got a source for this? I've seen some hints here and there but nothing concrete from WotC yet.
(Bottom of the article, under Mystery Recap, they cover in wonderful detail each slot in the car pack. It's really impressive, in my opinion. Going to be an expensive booster, is my biggest concern - which will be counter to trying to draft it, I worry.)
The price of packs like this is why I prefer just getting singles

welp atleast at long last we get a rhystic studdy reprint
Yeah but from amongst 1,694 cards with whatever rarity they've figured out what good does it do? There are 14 slots with their own sheet and each sheet is 121 cards. Nevermind the 15th slot has its own sheet completely outside of the full set. (I have a feeling WotC has never looked up the definition of, "set.") The E.V. should be interesting on these.
I’m aware of that but one thing I need to ask you
Unless mystery packs are different why is it all of you never remember the simplicity of buying singles

Now it’s 150 a box now it’s $6.25 a pack
That’s still much better than master sets though since those were 10 though and atleast it’s still a unlimited print run product (print on demand)

It’s true the cards are infact tanking

Selvala already lost two thirds of the value from conspiracy

It’s 100% reprints so what ever the original rarity is it will be I. That slot
So will it be multiple rares in a pack we don’t know
I’m aware of that but one thing I need to ask you
Unless mystery packs are different why is it all of you never remember the simplicity of buying singles
And a vast majorly could be black borderable
Heck just remove the annihilator part of the eldrazi sliver legend and it’s black borderable
What!?!
Well that’s a big rip off
What’s the store version just the next un-set
They decided to let us use magic cards by how it all started before they existed
Who knows maybe the ones we discover that aren’t so broken will end up as a real card in a set (named differently and text changed a little)
