Quote from ilovesaprolingsthis is all wotc's fault. they spoiled the set too late.
people just saw a single tarmogoyf spoiled for month and went "OMG I'LL SPEND 500$ FOR A BOX BECAUSE I'LL OPEN ONLY TARMOGOYFS!".
then the set was revealed and it was good, but not as good as people expected, so the prices went down.
oh wait, no. second part not happening because it's too late.
Not as good as people expected?
Tarmogoyf, Dark Confidant, Vendillion Clique, Cryptic Command, Sword of Fire and Ice, Sword of Light and Shadow, Pact of Negation, Path to Exile, Spellsnare, Tombstalker, etc. And 24 foils per box!
I'm not usually one of those "MTG players would complain about $20 bills in packs being folded the wrong way" but seriously, this set is INSANE. No other set in the history of the game has contained this many chase cards, ever.
So it doesn't have Thoughtseize or Damnation, big deal. That's like being sad you only found a bar of gold and not a bar of platinum.
$300 is a deal for a box. This set is going to sell out in a week or so, and then that's it. Inside 6 months you're probably looking at $400+ for a box on the low end.
