I called StarCityGames to see when they would have foil cards from EMA up for pre-sale (they typically add them the week or so before a set is released), but was told they had no intention of putting foils from the set up for pre-sale...
I've been looking around a bit to try and gauge prices for some of the 'never been foil' cards in the set and am pretty blown away at how high the prices are. As an example, Pyrokinesis is at $28 on mtggoldfish.com.
This is likely all artificial due to the fact the set is not yet available for sale, right? Foil Pyroblast can't sustain an $86 price tag for long, right?
so i cracked open my box just now: complete garbage. only 3 cards in the entire box are worth anything.
i almost feel sorry for the people that drop $300 cash...
What are these cards in question? Any other highlights in your box?Originally Posted by non-inflammable

Fuck you
Only buy sealed product if you enjoy playing the lottery or drafting. Just buy the singles. You'll very likely spend less money and use far less packaging.
Pyroblast is one of the best cards in eternal formats and is only just now becoming available in foil. Demand will outstrip supply on pyroblast pretty easily if this print run is quite limited as advertised. Pyrokinesis I have no idea on as it's way more niche than pyroblast is.I called StarCityGames to see when they would have foil cards from EMA up for pre-sale (they typically add them the week or so before a set is released), but was told they had no intention of putting foils from the set up for pre-sale...

SCG just put EMA foils up for pre-sale.
Pyroblast at $30
Pyrokinesis at $12
Those are prices I can wrap my head around based on availability/demand. The other prices were absolutely crazy.
(Next day edit)
Annnnnnnnd they're sold out of Pyroblast!
Pyrokinesis, on the other hand, is now at $10

Did you expect anything else? The lottery is a tax on those who are bad at math.
The purpose of any moat is to impede attack. Some are filled with water, some with thistles. Some are filled with things best left unseen.
Did a draft. Got Drs, bb elf, Hymm and natural order. Got to cast a natural order to get emperor crocodile. Funniest thing I've done recently. If it wasn't 50 dollars to draft it (in AUS) I would do more.
NO seems pretty weak in the draft anyway. I think it's worth playing if Croc is your best target. LOL
Yeah I just took it because it was hilarious. Well I thought so.
50? Its 50-60 here in Brisy depending on where you go. Its shit. I want to play this set but I can not justify the cost. I think I will be playing this set online.
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.
I hope your afterlife is filled with eternal torment.
Fuck. Which one of my quotes do I drop for this?
And yet online, the set EV is shit.
Quite the opposite! My logic is based on the implicit understanding that there is a finite amount of this product available to anyone.

Local store is doing $35 drafts. I don't know the payouts though. I'm meeting a friend there to pick up or preorder boxes and to playtest Legacy for EE4, but he has to leave earlier than me. I might bite depending on how the payout is.
Also registered for a EMA Sealed PPTQ on Saturday for $75.
Local store here has $35 drafts, but payout is in current sets only, so it'll just be a value draft with a few games for fun.
Yeah around Denver I'm mostly seeing PPTQs and GPTs running in the $90 range. Only seen a couple places running just normal drafts, and no casual sealed so far.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

I'm happy with my box of EM. Going to be drafting it in a couple hours.
