The sincerity in your tone is a rare gem in the RU-vid space, and we can hear your love for the game simultaneously conflicting with your disdain for malpractices. Please don’t ever quit Magic. We need you, and I’m very, very serious. All our love.

@@TostonDePanano clue. My friend is the one who did the Pre-order. He just divided the cost of the case by 4. If I were to hazzard a guess, considering the last couple of Special Commander sets had each deck baseline at 60ish (at least in our area big box stores) that was were the store got the price. So if our LGS did make an oopsie, I can deal. As a policy he makes sure to never price gouge or upcharge. So, this was likely just a mistake. Or it could even be an issue of the distributor side making him make an error.

@Volkbrecht 3 месяца назад

To be fair though, he himself contributes to their giving up by spreading the secondary market price information in easily digestible form. Any pre-con or other product that comes recommended as having good value is snatched off the shelves before it can even get there, and every weak product gets bad ratings and basically becomes unsellable. I'm not a fan of generally losing the MSRP, but with the precons, I get it. WotC probalby thought, if there's no way to win this game, why bother to play?

@ericharrison4067 3 месяца назад

I feel like if you use Coram as the commander of Graveyard Overdrive out of the box you will do better than you would with the face commander. You have several ways to mill cards, good cards in the graveyard to give Coram high power and even some power matters cards like Selvala. The land base sucks, no denying that, but I think the deck does a lot better with Coram than it does with Disa and could actually put in some work and be a deck you might win with out of the box

@mtgspecs 3 месяца назад

Agreed. I built with Coram and it should have been the face commander.

@ericheidgerd1064 3 месяца назад

I’m pretty convinced Coram was originally designed to be the face commander but at some point late into development they decided to make Disa the face commander instead to tie more directly into the modern format and appeal to boomer jund player without updating the deck. Like it would make so much more sense that there are so few goyfs since it was only supposed tie into the backup commander but still play into Corams graveyard/power matters themes.

@Wulfarwacht 3 месяца назад

I feel also that people sometimes overlook that this isn't a graveyard matters deck, it's a graveyard SIZE matters deck. It's not about doing crazy graveyard shenanigans and doing tons of reviving, it's more typical Gruul, put out big things, put out big damage, stomp over the opponent - only with the added "fill up you graveyard asap" sidenote. In most gameplay videos on RU-vid so far, the deck actually wins or at least really holds up well, so it's by far not as bad as the professor says, even though it is a bit unfocused with a few weird additions.

@osaka199 3 месяца назад

Disa is very strong if you have a pyrogoyf on board specifically, as it will give you up to three big damage triggers every turn from the tarmo tokens entering.

@SingerOfW 3 месяца назад

Genuinely surprised to see Graveyard Overdrive fare so badly, since my friend has been watching a bunch of gameplay videos of the decks to inform his decision and he's positively livid about how broken the goyfs seem to be. I suppose the best way to know for sure is to pick it up for myself, but only after it drops to 25 bucks or so.

@johnsnow3938 3 месяца назад

I agree with your friend. I've watched a bunch of game play with the 4 precons and it seems to perform the best out of the box or upgraded. Both the simic deck and the energy deck have seemed to do little to nothing during game play that I've watched.

@synckar6380 3 месяца назад

@johnsnow3938 My friend played the simic deck after we got back from the store, and since we don't run land destruction in our pod, we expected him to sweep the game quickly. Instead he sat around with 20-30 mana, a full hand, and a handful of creatures until he finally played a nonbasic land tutor to get darkest depths, get the 20/20, got it removed after one knockout, and sat around until he played a Mill 2 X (X=43) to knock the last player out.

@johnsnow3938 3 месяца назад

@@synckar6380 that sounds about right. The deck can produce a ton of mana but has nothing to put it into. Would like to see it built with more X spells

@gloomily2388 3 месяца назад

@@johnsnow3938 I think adding things like Maze's End and Aven Courier would've helped the simic deck quite a bit without making it broken. With ways to tutor up Maze's end it actually becomes quite strong, and getting those 10 gates is pretty achievable, especially if you do have Aven Courier effectively acting as a second commander. Also adding more gates, especially Baldur's seems like an obvious decision. But yeah, on its own the Simic deck is lacking a clear win con imo

@drakegrandx5914 3 месяца назад

Hi! Can I ask you the source of your profile pic?

@damned2127 3 месяца назад

The main issue here is how wizards sells the decks. They are only available through a pack of 4 (one of each). Which means for 1 eldrazi deck, they have to buy 4. Which in turn they have to sell to people, but if people doesn't buy, they have to reflect on it and price the decks accordingly (meaning lowering the price of decks like goyfs and energy while upping the other two to make a profit). This is what will kill commander decks. Because stores cannot operate with unsold products on their hands and having to rely too much on 1 expensive deck to compensate for 3 others

@goblinscrewdriver8544 3 месяца назад

Although I don’t agree this will kill the commander decks (this has been a problem for about as long as pre-cons have existed) I do agree this is the big underlying issue. Because they have to be purchased in sets of 4, if retailers don’t want to end up selling the unpopular decks at a loss, they need to increase the price of the popular ones to subsidize the ones that aren’t sold. If Wizards would just sell the decks individually to distributers, then you wouldn’t be seeing such crazy prices since you’d see supply being able to keep up with demand.

@dtiberio3967 3 месяца назад

The problem is that in the past there were 2-3 good decks with one dud. The past few releases there is only 1 standout and 3 duds. There is no way to even break even since 2-3 sell at a loss and 1 deck, even at a huge premium, this MH3 set of 4 decks would lose $10-30 IF you can sell them all. The Eldrazi deck is already down to $110 which means a loss of $30-50 for the set for most retailers. Fun.

I fondly remember the Premium Deck Series: Slivers deck. I remember being able to get it when I was just a kid and having tons of fun playing with what felt like a really strong set of cards. It's a shame that experience is out of reach for many of the "premium" Magic products for kids nowadays.

@UrfDaManatee 3 месяца назад

Everyone reads the first ability and knocks it, when the reality is the second ability is where it's at. Further more, depending on how you build the deck it can still play well without the commander in play since you can use demons, dragons, vampires, or stompy boys to get your triggers off- which even if the commander is kept off the board can present a win con in itself.

I don't know. From the commamder games I've seen so far, Graveyard Overdrive has been one of the more consistent decks out of the bunch alongside Tricky Terrain. I went with Graveyard Overdrive because I just recently picked up an Adrix and Nev, Twincasters Simic precon for dirt cheap at the Walmart that I work at and I've yet to build a Jund deck. I have two friends who want to buy the Eldrazi Incursion precon. While I'm not trying to sway them away from buying them, I let them know it's going to cost some actual money on top of the already overinflated resale price to get that deck running optimally. But it's that right there. The cost is BY FAR the biggest issue with all of these precons. WOTC heavily uses FOMO when it comes to their more limited run/big expansions like Modern Horizons, Commander Masters, anything Universes Beyond, etc as an excuse to jack the price up to astronomical amounts. It's not cool and I'm glad that you're calling WOTC out for doing so regardless of the quality of the products.

@crimsonleg4237 3 месяца назад

Surprised you were so down on the Jund deck. In most of the precon games I've seen, that deck and the Eldrazi deck did the most work, while the Simic deck just did what all Simic decks do. The Energy deck was the least active of them all, but hey, that's the beauty of opinions. I bought the Collector's Edition of the Jund deck for $150. Eldrazi is too expensive for me right now, though. No interest in the other two.

@FujimotoX 3 месяца назад

I managed to snap up both tricky terrain and the eldrazi decks for the same price as the other precons back in April, absolutely outrageous that stores charge what they do. My LGS sells them all £60-70, but unlikely anyone will be able to get the eldrazi one since everyone and their whole family wants one

@nicksmith516 3 месяца назад

Magic players might be the easiest audience to exploit, considering how many diehard fans are within the scene. I swear, too many of yall would rather go in debt than miss out on the next best MTG product. Even if this set is the best of the year, can we stop accepting these ridiculous price increases? I've been speaking with my wallet since double masters 2022, and I'll continue to do so as long as they keep trying to sell "premium." If the game just becomes a "whales only" club, so be it, I have enough cards in my catalog to enjoy it without buying new sets, I suppose.

Doesn’t the lack of MSRP also hurt WOTC? Like if they are supposed to be $50 decks then are WOTC seeing any extra profit from the jacked up prices or is that all just the middle man making more money?

@jeromewear7603 3 месяца назад

It’s crazy that we really don’t have a primary market anymore, it’s all secondary right out of the gate. I know why Hasbro did it, but it doesn’t make it right. The more concerning thing is that people will buy at those prices and just this price gouging going. Sad days ahead for Magic the gathering.

@counterpoint1494 3 месяца назад

Why does MSRP matter when sellers will just increase the price anyway based on the demand? I don’t think anyone is sitting thinking the price of the eldrazi collectors was supposed to be $430. Also weird to call the price increase a tax when the price is just going up due to the demand. The eldrazi deck is a perfect example where the value isn’t there despite the cost of the deck. Edit I think you hit the nail on the head by saying people are going to buy it no matter what. I see the price be so ridiculous due to consumers willing to pay it

@vileluca 3 месяца назад

@xpeterx 3 месяца назад

so, about the price. as someone who works at an lgs and who has ordered these from distributors, i can tell you that the intended price for these was 69,99€ (or as someone else in the comments pointed out also $69,99). it's almost as if increased prices are a product of capitalistic reasons. who would have thought, that giving people the freedom to choose what they charge for a product based on supply and demand, would raise prices? shocking. almost as if capitalism is a bad thing for the consumer. hmm

@wtfudgepudge 3 месяца назад

"I don't feel like the price on these products correlates with inflation." Okay dude, but why don't you actually look it up instead of going with your feelings? $35 in 2009 = $51.15 today. 51.15 * 1.67 to adjust up from 60 cards to 100 = $85.25. These are selling on average for $76.16. So yeah, these are effectively 9 cents cheaper per card than inflation adjusted premium deck series. This isn't even hard to check. Use your brain instead of just listening to your feelings.

@djkatsuo 3 месяца назад

I find it so weird that modern is a format with older cards so the card pool is way larger yet the meta decks seems smaller than standard for variety. Also why does it have to be inherently stronger when newer cards are usually stronger power than older cards. It seems the higher power the format, the smaller variety of decks I see played. This is just my curiosity as I am a newer player.

These are quickly becoming a new type of product, not curated precons anymore which make reprints available. They want to sell us a box of 100 cards at a price as close to the combined market value of those 100 individual cards as possible. Can anyone else see how that completely defeats the purpose of a precon? It's just a box of singles. It's just a more time-convenient consolidation of Eldrazi singles for you to buy instead of adding all the singles to your cart individually.

Just a heads up Prof - the collector decks were NOT Premium store exclusives. I work for a non-premium LGS and we got some in - albeit, a very low number. Also, the cost of the non collector decks were in the $40 range, suggesting to me they were intended to be $60 or $70 MSRP. Those listing the 2 underperforming decks below $50 are doing so because they are not selling well, and the Eldrazi deck is being marked up (partially) so that LGS's can make up cost of the other 2 decks sitting.

@MTGUnpacked 3 месяца назад
