We've gone from Trading Card Game to Collectable Card Game. Used to be so fun to all crack packs and trade and shuffle cards around to make decks, but now the only reason to buy packs is to hopefully get an "investment piece". All of the social side parts of the game have been ripped out.

@underscore_5450 10 месяцев назад

It's so crazy to me that the most popular format in MTG right now is incredibly social and casually friendly but Wotc somehow hasn't capitalized on that at all. Why aren't there official commander tournaments? Precon 4 packs so groups have an easy point of entry? Hell, commander isn't even on ARENA! Commander is a very social format and Wotc doesn't seem to get that at all. It feels like they're actively trying to discourage people from playing with high prices, avalanches of products, an under supported competitive scene, and confusing product design.

@noesunyoutuber7680 10 месяцев назад

Mana Crypt is extremely egregious, it's climbed up to nearly 200 bucks despite being reprinted pretty recently, in a set that had a lot of cards that should have been in a Commander reprint set (Double Masters 2022). Mana Crypt's continued existence in the format is questionable, but it's exceptionally questionable when the gulf between having one Sol Ring and two Sol Rings in your deck is $170.

@amicob 10 месяцев назад

FYI Jace, Mirror Mage doesn't come in the booster packs, he's in the precon only

@amicob 10 месяцев назад

Also, unless I missed it, there's no mention in the conversation about how many R/M are worth the price of the pack, is that you get 2-3 rares per pack, which changes the math on that worth considerably. (Up to 5 R/M in set too, though of course those cost more).

@michaelmiller5177 10 месяцев назад

There should absolutely be a "premium" product in MTG, filled with rare art, treatment, and serialized cards to push the price. Those cards won't lose value over time and are meant for collectors and high end players. But the set and draft boosters, should have an MSRP geared towards new player entry. Asking a new player to put down $80-120 for a deck or $50-60 for a draft is way more than most newcomers would want to fork over. I recently had about $100 to blow on Magic. In years past that would have been a booster box, maybe a couple of pre-cons. This time around it was just singles. At the end of the day, these prices aren't set by WotC, LGSs, big box stores, or online retailers, it's set by the consumer. As long as players are willing to doll out several hundred dollars, if not thousands of dollars, for these products the prices will remain this high.

@Colossus1921 10 месяцев назад

I was 100% planning to buy a box before I saw the price. I want a good number of the cards in it, but when I can get an Ulamog for the same price as a booster pack, there's no real point in buying the booster pack I was hoping to pull the Ulamog from, is there? I love opening packs. It's so much more fun to finally find the rare or mythic you've been looking for in a pack, as opposed to just buying it. But when the packs are so expensive and there's so much chaff diluting the pool of rares and mythics, it just makes it nigh-impossible to justify buying a pack, much less a box. For now, I'm going to keep my eye on prices for half a dozen singles and see what happens.

@SamwaisGanza 10 месяцев назад

Same here. Horrible and incomprehensive pricing on this.

@doolittle8888 10 месяцев назад

I think it's worth noting that for the dud rares segment you mentioned Abundance, Decimate, and Jace Mirror Mage. Not a single one of those is actually in boosters, they're all in one of the precons or another which use the same set code. You can tell due to their high collector numbers, even if they don't say how many cards are in the main set anymore.

@Treecko890 10 месяцев назад

Im super excited to draft this set next week with my friends! I bought the whole box myself and Im hoping to keep a lot of the staples at uncommon and common since I just started playing and keep anything I would want to play, and then sell the rest and hope the fun we got out it was worth the difference in price for me!

St Cloud, MN is Set Box $449.99 pre-release ($469.99 on release), Collector box $259.99 pre-release ($279.99 on release). I do not think it is worth that, I'll wait two weeks and buy the singles I need.

cant say how many sets youve talked me out of buying into. I was looking forward to this set too as I thought it might have the same turn around as doublemasters 2022 which I was able to do the booster box game 3 times, get the cards I wanted and sell the rest for a near break even by the end.

Some time back when Prof. invited Gavin for a round of Battlebond fun, I was lamenting why for so many years WotC wasn’t following up that most excellent product with its stellar EV. But now, I do fear a bit that if & when WotC does revisit Battlebond, it’ll b priced no different from the most costly Masters sets.

Lorcana is going to be a Disney advertisement printed on small pieces of cardboard. They already stated to have no intention to balance the game cause the game "isn't too casual or too competitive". I was really hopeful but truth is Disney can just pump money into it and will survive even if it's a hell scape of a game, supported by Disney fans.

Got to draft this over the past weekend. I was lucky and drafted value in the colors I was in that added to my deck (doubling season and foil Great Henge) but the draft experience was a great time. Better than the previous commander based draft sets that were all fun as well. It's a shame it's as expensive as it is because I would draft it as much as I could otherwise.

The big issue I feel with having a draft environment for something that's specifically a reprint set is that the set itself gets pulled in two different directions; one side being the draft environment, and the other being the "lottery" aspect of the packs (where the value is). I'd rather there just be set boosters with a focus on high value reprints across the board, common to rare. At least Dread Return is pauper legal!

I remember being so excited at the prospect of Commander Masters when it was announced, and when my boyfriend told me the price months ago I told him in disbelief it would go down, that the set would not be that much for a commander set. Now here we are, with both the still ridiculously high prices and lukewarm reprints in it (honestly, the pricing you showed of the top reprints was quite shocking), and my excitement has dwindled to anger. I certainly won’t be partaking in buying this set, except maybe singles from it from my LGS

I had friends who were so excited for this set, waited all year, evenmkre excited for it than LOTR. They were lived when they saw the prices and realized they can't engage in the sealed experience at all. Keeping new cards limited to the precons is also a huge slap in the face

I bought box to draft with my friends because I love these commander draft formats. gonna buy singles once we are done

I will say that the drafting I did was pretty fun and most folks pulled value (with extra prize packs) but yeah, especially after this, I’m more hyped for Eldraine personally

Tough to say, might be worth getting some friends to go in on it together and have one heck of a draft party!

I snagged a doubling season and demonic tutor at my first preview draft and won a game. Great stuff so far!

Draft packs of edh reprint sets can make for fun drafts if they don't load it with chaff and if it costed like $20 instead of $60.

I drafted this set last week and it was very fun. It was my very first commander draft and the new rules made it very fun and exciting. there is some very busted boards that can be made. For the new players, they do have themes in the set. Give it a try and have fun.

Professor makes a great last point! If WotC had ONLY printed SET boosters, but at the price point of what they did Draft, I think this Masters set may have been an amazing product for all MtG Commander players who wanted to expand their inventory for their future deck builds. Had WotC priced and advertised the product this way, it would have been a win/win!

After the last event with lotr lasting 2 hrs and making you late to your dinner. This just might be a little bit overkill. Thanks prof for doing this for us!!!

Today is my birthday, been a rough one but I’ll be there for the stream, would love the chance for a collector box. Much love Prof.❤

The problem I have with this set is that I have the vast majority of the cards in it already, so they'll mostly be going straight into trades. The only ones I don't have are the tempting but OP cards which are ~1/100 of actually pulling; Doubling Season, Lotus, Deflecting Swat, Deadly Rollick... but these are also cards which should never have been printed or are way too hardcore for our *"Casual Format"* (with extremely heavy air quotes), so I'm not sure I really want them anyway.

@wingkalas5564 10 месяцев назад

I recently started buying singles for a new deck that I had an idea for, and there are a few cards in Commander Masters that I want, but the price of the product in Canada, along with the fact that there are so few cards in the set that would serve my needs in deckbuilding make me want to buy a box for Eldraine way more

@shadei1142 10 месяцев назад

I’m gonna probably do what I did with LOTR and just pick up a cmm set booster every once in a while just for the fun of it + commander cards are cards that I like a lot

@tipulsar85 10 месяцев назад

My problem with some of the includes in Commander Masters also involves the art used. For an example, let's look at Doubling Season. It has had three art choices that would fit in the current frame, which is actually slightly different than how it first looked in m15, the other two haven't gotten reprinted since that initial set for that art. And while Battlebond's does tie it to Valor's Reach Stadium on Kylem, It's rather hard to tell that the first art for it was on Ravnica, much less tie in with unofficial Selesnya.

I decided to stop paying attention to non standard sets and I am so hyped for Eldraine

@deejayf69 10 месяцев назад

I was really looking forward to this particular set as a Commander-only player but the price tag killed it for me.

@Hyperchaosbringer 10 месяцев назад

I really want to back this. But with Wilds coming out soon I'm going to direct my resources toward that.

@Tomyzz 10 месяцев назад

2:19 "Collector Masters" - so accurate!

@rbruch98 10 месяцев назад

I think you're being beyond generous in giving this a C+. At best, this is a D+ for me - Even then, the precons are where my interest is, but not for the price theyre at.
