So, usually i'm buying singles over sealed product, but today i got tempted to buy 2 packs of WAR...
One of them had Liliana, Dreadhorde General, the other Teferi, Time Raveler. Quite a catch for 6€.

See, I went to pre release, took third place and ended opening a total of 14 packs (plus 2 promos) of which I had ZERO mythics and my highest cost card is Karn and I don't honestly think I opened another card worth more than $5.....

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.
I wouldn't worry even if the value isn't there now. There's a lot of stuff that feels like it's modern/legacy playable and a lot of obvious EDH stuff. It's all going to be cheap for a while while the set is opened like mad, especially considering that the set hasn't even released yet. Look at it again after the set has been out of print for a couple years and it's probably a different story. I'm expecting a lot of these cards to have moderate demand well after it's out of standard.

As well as this, give it a month for the standard metagame to adjust to a radically different departure from any previous set, too. There's bound to be some chase cards come through that'll at least temporarily be pretty valuable, aside from the obvious.
Hi! I'm Dragonlover. I posted here years ago but my account got eaten by the Twitch merge and nothing of value was lost.
I've been playing Magic since 2000, took a break from Kamigawa to M11 and have pretty much exclusively played EDH since my return. I've not slung much cardboard the last couple of years due to work, but my schedule just changed so I can finally get down to my local on their Commander night. I'm also taking the time to actually put decklists up, as where I've not paid attention to Magic beyond selling it to people the last few years there's plenty of cards I've forgotten about/didn't notice came out.

Welcome. I was also looking at the mono-W legendary list yesterday, so I threw some feedback into your thread. I've considered similar decks in the past, just with more colors to open up the options a little.

Yeah, if I was gonna do it starting today it'd probably have ended up as an Arvad the Cursed deck.
Played some games tonight, got in for 31 with my Lathliss deck then died on the crackback to exactly lethal commander damage from Akiri. I'd miscounted my mana for Lathliss pumps and left him on 7.
Just placed my first order for WAR stuff. This is going to be a rough set for my wallet.
So far my commander WAR purchases are at like $10 (two new commanders). I ordered some stuff for standard as well. I am not actually sure how much I have left that I plan to order oddly. I play a lot of mono white and white kind of looked like crap in this set. Yea..... honestly I don't know if I need much of anything else for commander. I don't care much for this set lol.
I think I still need to pick up a Finale of Promise for my izzet and maybe a Lili for edgar.... This set wasn't for me.

I've picked up a few things for legacy/modern and a first pass at EDH goodies so far. I'm a magpie when it comes to EDH, so I'm realistically better off waiting for a few weeks to grab anything else that I'm after. I grabbed the stuff I'm planning on including in Jaya and some of the stuff I want to play in other archetypes that I play a lot.
WAR is really promising for eternal/non-rotating formats in general. Legacy has people trying out Teferi, Narset, Saheeli, Karn, and Ugin in decks that are looking really good so far as well as some smaller stuff like Liliana's Triumph. Modern has a new boogeyman combo deck thanks to Neoform and people building around a bunch of the same walkers as legacy plus Ashiok. I think vintage is even picking up a few cards (I've seen Narset and Karn so far), though I'm not nearly as familiar with that format. The power level here is high.

Yea, I don't play Legacy, I don't chase the hot modern decks, and for standard this is the 7th set so its harder to make a big impact not to mention it possibly just made Nexus decks better rather than making something new and fresh. The price tags seem sky high on a lot of the playable cards so my plan is mostly to just sit and wait because there are too many cards with high price tags for them to all stay that high.
For commander, I like mono color a lot more so I knew that a multi colored block isn't going to give me as much for new cards.

So? Maybe its just that I don't date myself with music. I grew up listening to what in my time was classic rock.
I was the same way. Whenever I was in the car with my dad, it was classic rock music from the 70s and 80s, with a heavy lean toward the British Invasion bands.

Yeah I did also, but I also listened to a lot of 90s stuff in high school, so for me there is what "should" be classic rock, and what I consider my generation of music. So seeing the two being played side by side is a realization of just how old i am.

I've gone back and listened to some 90s and 00's music recently, and I'm shocked how much I remember just through osmosis growing up. I don't actively listen to anything remotely close to that nowadays, but even still. I did have Check Yes, Juliet by We the Kings stuck in my head all day Wednesday, though.
I decided to start keeping track of my decks in a Google spreadsheet so I've actually got a record of the decks I'm thinking of doing as well as the ones I've built, it's definitely helped clarify some of my thoughts.
One of them had Liliana, Dreadhorde General, the other Teferi, Time Raveler. Quite a catch for 6€.
The rest was rather bland, aside from Kaya's Ghostform for Gonti, Lord of Luxury, Samut's Sprint for Zada, Hedron Grinder, maybe Kasmina's Transmutation for Brago, King Eternal and an Emergence Zone i have no idea where to plug it in (yet).

Top cards on Cardmarket by 30th April 2019 00:00
01. Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God ~14,00€
02. Liliana, Dreadhorde General ~12,00€
03. Gideon Blackblade ~11,00€
04. Teferi, Time Raveler ~8,00€
05. God-Eternal Kefnet ~6,00€
06. Ilharg, the Raze-Boar ~5,50€

08. Finale of Devastation ~5,00€
09. Karn, the Great Creator ~5,00€
10. God-Eternal Rhonas ~4,50€
Considering the other 254 cards in the set and 3,00€ per pack in my LGS it's no set to expect a ton off financially - at the moment at least.
As well as this, give it a month for the standard metagame to adjust to a radically different departure from any previous set, too. There's bound to be some chase cards come through that'll at least temporarily be pretty valuable, aside from the obvious.

I was past $200 and I think I'm just going to play the lotto and buy two boxes. Sad thing is, this was for at most two copies of a card.
WAR is a really good set for edh.
