Mind I ask, what makes Mind Seize deck so desirable? I know there's True-Name Nemesis, but what else?
It was just True-Name Nemesis, which was going for $30+ for a few months.
Scavenging Ooze did the same thing before they reprinted it.
I sold my TNN for more than I payed for the deck (in store credit). Bought a bunch of goodies for a Melek deck, including Scroll Rack and Sensei's Top. I'm rather glad they didn't print any cards like that this time because they make decks unnecessarily difficult to obtain, at least early on.
Not super excited by these decks. Some cool new cards, and some decent reprints. My biggest problem is that I only really wanted the UR deck, and almost every exciting reprint I already own and don't need another copy of. Oh well.
I once designed a warp world deck which used token generators and spell copying effects. The idea being that I resolve warp world several times with a bunch of tokens in play, resulting in me being the only one with permanents at the end of all the warp worlds.
A common theme in my main decks is taking / casting cards from my opponent's decks. Why should I buy the super expensive staples when I can just use yours?
Awful change in my opinion. There are certain generals that need to be gotten rid of on sight, and this makes decks helmed by those much harder to deal with.
I believe last year it was Friday (I remember myself being quite surprised and happy). All of the new legends and PWs are known, and a good chunk of the new cards, so I wouldn't be surprised.
At $100 I might get this. I think I own most of the interest stuff from these decks anyway. Bit higher price than I would've liked, but hopefully printed enough to fill demand.

Oh well... there are still options.
(Humans vs. Zombies, with both decks being led by their respective Mikaeus).
As a blue player... I'm shocked.
*Just saw it was creatures only. I like it less, but it's not terrible. (Okay, it's still totally awesome).
Very solid.
