I just canceled my Comannder deck preorder. I m not paying close to $400 after taxes for subpar and junk. I really just need a break from the game probably.
Rant: $400 is an investment to better your life. It's Bill money, food, car, ect. MTG is becoming expensive to the point that I cannot justify purchasing it anymore. $400 is something that should seriously be thought about. That's almost a steam deck. It's more than a switch. You get my point.
I'm excited for the medallions, kindred dominance, selvala, great henge, morophon, etc... Lots of good stuff spoiled so far. I pretty much only buy singles but the value seems to be decent so far at least, even at the $15/pack price. I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic and excited to see the uncommons and commons. Hoping for Pitiless Plunderer, Thornbite Staff, maybe even Reconnaissance.
Out of interest, what do you mean by “dated”?
I’m glad to see older, expensive / hard to find cards being reprinted
I think this is most evident in the choice of legendary creatures, many of which hit the top of EDHrec years ago. Krenko, Omnath, Sidisi, Nekuzar, Mizzix, etc. Along with Land Tax, Commandeer, and Chromatic Lantern, the set seems to reflect the era when Commander was no more than an annual product.
There are so many new legendary creatures and EDH-playable cards released nowadays that, at least in my area, nobody is playing those old decks anymore.
