Wow. Here's to hope we see Imperial Recruiter in the future.

Is foil. fail.

[Barook]

So if you're lucky and get it for around 75$, it pays for itself, including some profit?

That's pretty sweet.

Wizards, why you no print nonfoil?

I'd be more excited if they give us something like, idk maybe, Imperial Seal? Mythic rare, standard-legal = fun

[Suneloon]

True! But unlikely that you're going to find any at 75$ methinks...

Why oh why do they not just print enough to meet the demand???

Edit: this is reply to Barooks post.

Is Retainers even played anymore since WotC murdered Survival?

It's oversized, therefore not actually playable.

So Loyal Retainers will also be oversized?

Retainers is regular size, it's not on the reserve list.
Why is it over 100$ now anyway? Do any decks use it? It seems like it could still be playable even without survival but I don't know of any decks that actually use it.

It's played in some Maverick builds with Fauna Shaman. Go search that thread if you want more info.

This is a collectible game. Too bad it's also a game, I don't like how mythics in T2 cost 30/40/50 dollars. But old cards just take it to another whole level in terms of expensiveness.

There is no way the Loyal Retainers in this set will be worth anywhere near $100. Look at Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed. The Portal: Three Kingdoms version is $100+, but the judge foil is $20-25. As I understand, there are less of the average judge foil than there are going to be Commander's Arsenals.

I'm guessing the Loyal Retainers settles in the $20-$30 range before long.

[JanoschEausH]

I guess it will be much cheaper. I'll go with 15$ max.

The Judge foil seems to have lowered the price of the original too, atleast in Xiahou Dun's case. NM ones now are selling at SCG at $170, when they were $200... possibly +, awhile back.

To be fair: Who plays Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed? Maybe EDH players?

Loyal Retainers seems more usable, especialy with a less ridiculous price tag.

If the print run of the Arsenal box is really that low, we won't see that many more Retainers. I guess a few thousand copies ( between 5k and 10k ) will get printed, but a lot of those will end up in the hands of collectors. Also, I've heard that these boxes already sell for 3 times of MSPR, so I would be surprised if Retainers will get as cheap as Xiahou.
