The more i see of this the more it's become obvious that this set was a mishmash of rejected EDH reprints and whatever was left over from an angry nerds meeting.
And they are charging over 100$ for some packs. If I didn't think Hasbro was laughing at us suckers before, I sure do so now.
WTF, they’ll print her but not Mox Amber or Teferi?
I really don’t get their decision making for this set.
It's an artifact set is likely playing in why the latter doesn't get reprinted. Mox Amber could still be revealed given I wouldn't be surprised if we get two Moxes to go with the Double theme, that leaves Chrome Mox and Mox Amber as potentials. The former might be more likely though as it fits the name and number crunch for box toppers (there's an artifact between Blightsteel Colossus and Expedition Map).
She makes total sense for this set and will probably be incredible in limited. It's just unfortunate you may have to pull her in a $15 pack, and your other rare could be bulk too.
That said, I will always have a soft spot for this card.

Well they're starting at 10 dollars a pack right? a 5 dollar rare seems reasonable for such a pack if there's two rares. Saw people upset about Vengevine as well - These cards are fine, I don't know what the issue is.

couple of things.
most places have preorders up at $300, that breaks down to actually be $12.50 a pack. that's for a box, not retail per pack which will end up considerably higher in most places without a doubt. some of the local shop owners are telling me the $300 price for a box will actually go up considerably too after the first print run.
you also have to take into account that while she's $5 right now, she won't be after this. She's not so good to warrant it. the market also stands a good chance of being saturated as she's just a rare. the rare slots in this set are lackluster with almost all of the real value tied to mythic. as people chase mythics, borderless, alt arts, and foils, anything in those slots is sure to depreciate dramatically as volume floods the market.
on top of that, you're getting 2 rares per pack so the prospect of a flooded market becomes an even greater possibility as the frequency she's opened increases.

One one hand, she was downshifted from mythic. On the other, she's still $2. At least she's played extensively in EDH.
