Those new 37 cards are just a way to grab some money from the commander players right?

Commander players will buy it regardless, so long as the reprints are good. Theme = heavy tribal, and heavy tribal is very much a Commander thing.

Trying to cash in on the Keyforge “spend $10, sit down and play a game without having to think about deck construction” model.
I see local KF player pairs impulse buy a deck each and sit down and play a spur of the moment game (sometimes with the winner keeping the losers deck). I see this selling in much the same way. Got ~$10, an opponent, and 15 minutes? Jumpstart.

You missed Knight of the Ebon Legion
2 Murderous Rider
A playset of Torbran, Thane of Red Fell
Embercleave those are average at 25$ And is with the playset of torbran and fervent champion
Minor highlights missed

There’s war of the spark ashiok since that sees modern play
Kenrith the returned king
A play set of fervent champion and Runaway steam-kin
3 experimental frenzy
Nightpack ambusher
If you get all 4 decks you get

I didn’t miss anything. You know what a highlight is? To begin with, I DID mention Embercleave. AMONG the highlights: Embercleave ($23), Passage ($14), Steam Vents ($11). Knight, Rider, and Torbran are $4, $5, and $3 cards respectively, regardless of quantity. There is a clear separation in monetary value between the three cards I mentioned and the three you mentioned.

Quote from SonofaBith75 »
I have 9 decks where blue is a significant part of it. The only one that runs Paradox Haze, and it’s a nice piece of the deck, is The Scarab God. Make all opponents lose life equal to TWICE the number of zombies you control, and two Scry triggers (although admittedly the second trigger isn’t as good, because you’re in part dealing with some of the cards you left on top the first time).

Scarab God, Paradox Haze, and Wound Reflection gets out of control pretty quickly.

Unless you are scrying all of them.

Didn’t think something so obvious needed to be said.

Embercleave, Fabled Passage (in TWO decks!), Steam Vents, and Brazen Borrower among the highlights.

Wow. Just tried to order the bundle and the website says: "CONGRATULATIONS! Your order is completed but at least one item doesn't have enough stock. You will be contacted to your email separately."

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*** I thought the ENTIRE POINT of these was that they were printed to order. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER WIZARDS!!

They’ve said multiple times, they print X number PRIOR to the sale occurring, for near-immediate shipping, then if sales EXCEED X, they print Y more copies AS NEEDED. Relax, and understand the process.

Getting the entire package for $150 seems like a decent deal, works out to $10-$11 per card, depending on your tax. Assuming the stained glass walkers continue, it shouldn’t be hard to make your cost per card come to well less than $10 per card if you’re willing to flip those.

Other cards that ensure you’ll also have lands in your hand in White are Tithe, Gift of Estates, and sometimes Oreskos Explorer.

That card will be supremely expensive if there are only 16 in existence.

Yeah expensive to someone. I don't like the picture. What would a bidding war even go to? Champs promo mutavault level $500. Not really willing to pay a bunch of money for alternate art stuff. Scalding tarn expedition is $264. I'm sure someone is willing to pay a stupid amount of money. Might as well print out the picture glue them to basic lands and hand them out to everyone that wants one.

It’s already been established, in multiple posts, that these are not that rare, 16 per event. Why even bother with what you said since it’s not remotely applicable.

Every qualifying WPN store will have 16 of these; thousands will be given out.

Unsanctioned’s Basics. To each their own, but personally I’m getting bored with the fact these never seem to represent visually what they’re supposedly depicting.
