They saw how everyone liked the skewed value in MM2 and decided to kick it up a notch!Originally Posted by Noctalor
My problem with rares and mythic is the spectrum being WAY to harsh, if you buy a box you are spending 250 euros, you shouldnt be able to find a 2 euro mythic and a bunch of 30 cents rares, the spread is so high that you can possible go like -200 on a box
Also, if the card value is not the main focus print things like port and misdi could have helped the online enviroment, boostars online have like no value unless you hit a lucky card, there is no middle ground between wasting 10 euros and gaining a bunch
The mistake is to have any expectations for what WOTC will deliver. Oh well, maybe I will pick up a set of old border therapies if they drop in price.
No TNN! This set sucks

... Yep. That happened.
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?
Was really, really hoping for recruiter as I have all the other cards for painter. Is there any chance that some of these "hopeful reprints" are gonna get even pricier due to not being reprinted.
The only super disappointing thing was the lack of Port. Everything else is completely fine.
Oh yes. That's a definite.

Will be fun to draft, I'd be surprised if people actually bought the set as opposed to buying singles. Just doing some rough math a box is definitely not worth the $300 its going for now.
If WOTC doesn't plan to have any EMA drafts at a tournament level and they really don't support Legacy as a format, what exactly was the intent behind this set? Yes, there are some good reprints in Force, Karakas, NO, wasteland etc.. but those cards at mythic (rare for waste) doesn't really do much at making the format more affordable.
I guess they were just trying to print money which I guess you can't blame them for doing that.
investing in 4 foil recruiters feels good now.
also, love the set, too bad its too expensive to binge draft

Not including Flusterstorm is inexcusable.
That's what they're doing. What's the price retailers for one of the 100k boxes?
+1
I lent Flusterstorm's to a mate travelling to GP Prague. The reason he wanted to borrow them over buy them was so that way he did not lose money when they where reprinted in Eternal...

Well, this set is fun, and they left out enough to give them lots of goodies for Eternal Masters 2, Commander 2016, or Conspiracy 2.
Anyway, here's my specs on the set. I've grouped them where I would be buying in aggressively. At much above these targets, I'm not interested.
--------------
BELOW A DOLLAR
Generally good cards to have spare copies of due to use in various formats. Already pretty cheap, likely to be smashed into the dirt by the Eternal Masters printing.
--------------
Eight-and-a-half-tails (fine Commander, likely to be viewed as trash in this set; might crash hard)
Unexpectedly Absent
Memory Lapse (due entirely to sweet new art. Get em for a nickel!)
Serendib Efreet
Night's Whisper
Mogg War Marshal
Young Pyromancer
Giant Solifuge (new art -- this way to nickel town!)
Future Sight (always a fun card)
Wirewood Symboite
--------------
AROUND A DOLLAR
Very useful cards in the 2 - 10 dollar range that might crater due to temporary availability. Good cards to have spares of for EDH or casual decks.
--------------
Daze (stock up while they're cheap as dirt)
Sinkhole (Im not saying it'll be this cheap, just that it's worth scooping up if it gets there.)
Toxic Deluge
Chain Lightning
Gamble
Price of Progress
Heritage Druid
Vindicate
Deathrite Shaman
Isochron Scepter
Goblin Charbelcher
Argoth Enchantress
--------------
FIVE DOLLAR ISH
Very powerful cards in the 10 - 20 range currently that are probably not super sought after in this set.
--------------
Vamp Tutor
Green Sun's Zenith
Sylvan Library
--------------
TEN DOLLAR ISH
20 - 50 cards; I'm only in on these if they get down close to 10 bux.
--------------
Sneak Attack
Natural Order
Karakas
Wasteland
--------------
THIRTY DOLLAR ISH
Finally, the chase cards. Previously around $100 big ones. Jace has already started to list down to $60, and I suspect he has further to go. I have no illusions of these prices dropping enough for me to get in, but I'm not in on these unless they get close to $30.00.
--------------
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
Mana Crypt
Force of Will
Except that now he has your Flusterstorms. For free. And hes in another country. I think I know who won that little exchange.
I am holding Duals as colatial. It's not my first rodeo.

"You either die a Onesto-Player, or live long enough to see yourself become a Dredger"
We'll see!
Something has to give; the set can't have a half dozen mythics that all stay close to $100.00. I can't imagine that's the case!
Karakas is a maindeckable sideboard card that people don't need 4 copies of. It's supply is about to be blasted into the stratosphere, compared to pre-Eternal Masters.
Wasteland is a four of, but it's also starting lower.
Maybe price memory will keep these in sillytown, I don't know, but I know I'm in around 10 :)
Is this the full list because that's a crap lot for other lands considering they were "just" printed.

Holy shit am I salty about that mythic Sphinx. They just couldn't help themselves to put a fucking Comet Storm in the god damn set. I'm OK and even enthusiastic about cards here for Limited purposes or even just for nostalgia. At least there is a reason and the entire set can't be jam packed with value. But there is no reason for a thrice printed bulk rare like Sphinx to be in this set at mythic. GG.
"We are goblinkind, heirs to the mountain empires of chieftains past. Rest is death to us, and arson is our call to war."
Personally, I was expecting a Squire reprint.
An awful lot of pissing and moaning going on in here. The set is literally packed full of ultra powerful cards. If everyone got everything they wanted, the set would be 400 cards and there would be nothing left to print for EM2.
