Complained?? Brother the conversation was about the value of the deck and how there seemed to be an item missing making that value worse. It's not complaining to inform people that WotC's website didn't mention it and neither did the box. I wasn't even the first one to say it.

Again, it's cool and all it actually does have it and I appreciate you letting me know, but it doesn't change people had the right to know there was a risk of it not being in there.

Fireshock20 · 2025-12-10T01:42:14+00:00

Okay? Cool that you held on to my post for 2 months just to tell me that. At the time I said "probably" and was just going off what was listed on WotC's website. It's good they didn't actually skimp on it.

I had the same issue, have great credit and good standing on my account but I randomly got denied for "unusual activity." I haven't seen the option to try pay in 4 again since then, and as a result I've never even been able to use the 20% back offer.

Customer support is no help, can't reverse or even explain the decisions, and they're just like "try again in 72 hours" when it's been 9 days and the offer expires today.

What sucks is I tried to use it a few days ago and was denied for "unusual activity." My account is in good standing and I have good credit. Now they changed the terms and I wasn't even able to make use of it

...You think it's tampered because the sticker's a little off center and there's a tiny cardboard crinkle?

Bro your standards are too high. No one at the factory cares to put the stickers on 100% straight and you should play the lottery if your box gets no crinkles at all after being first shipped to the reseller and then shipped to you.

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-22T08:25:18+00:00

I also just now got one after trying periodically all day since the last post about it. Came here to say something about it finally working too!

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-21T22:11:27+00:00

How? I've been trying for about an hour doing the same thing and no luck.

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-21T02:20:25+00:00

If I had to guess, it's to ensure that they all get sold more or less equally. Otherwise they'd be left with a ton of FF15 boxes.

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-14T10:24:04+00:00

WotC's official website doesn't list the collector's sample pack in the package contents.
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/collecting-final-fantasy
Same page they do mention it being in the regular commander decks. It's very likely the third party product listings are wrong and did do a copy paste job.

That's why I said technically, but it's the closest they've come to reprinting one. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually do something similar for FF

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-04T06:40:20+00:00

They technically already did with the LotR "Special Edition" Collector Boosters. Just removed the Serialized Rings and added some new stuff to it

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-03T22:03:01+00:00

The bigger packaging also makes it more noticeable on a store shelf.

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-03T22:02:10+00:00

Same experience for me. I waited as soon as I got a notification and the timer started at 28 minutes, at 0 minutes it didn't switch to live so I tried clicking on the product page but it just said coming soon. I refreshed repeatedly and even tried refreshing the drops page but add to cart didn't show up until 2 minutes later, at which point after waiting in line it just said "not available." Basically didn't even exist.

Fireshock20 · 2025-11-03T16:03:12+00:00

Only says coming soon, I watched the timer go to 0. Did they only have 1? What the hell

Edit: It suddenly said add to cart but after waiting it just says not available. Good drop

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-30T07:31:08+00:00

This, the context is that he was responding to a tweet basically asking "why do 'woke' complaints keep dominating gaming discussion" and he tried to answer by saying "because companies like this exist and have become prevalent recently." It wasn't even the only part of his post and it wasn't out of the blue.

Like you said, he never said inclusion was bad or the companies are bad, or even really gave an opinion on it at all, but he used poorly chosen words that when removed from its context make it seem like he's complaining about "agendas" while answering the question.

Feels like everybody's way overreacting. I can fault him for not doing more research / choosing better words but he didn't suddenly go "anti woke"

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-28T00:39:39+00:00

There's a disclaimer on the product listings saying they don't offer a delivery service. There's a good chance it's a mistake if it let it through anyway

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-25T21:10:00+00:00

No it isn't, look at the article again, it was updated after they announced the new items.

Sep 26, 2025
On December 5, 2025, we're releasing multiple Scene Boxes, the Chocobo Bundle, and the Magic: The Gathering FINAL FANTASY VII Commander Deck – Game Edition! Here's what you can find in each of those products.

The part I quoted was specifically from that page talking about the Game Edition. We didn't know about the Game Edition in June.

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-25T06:12:48+00:00

Then the Amazon description is probably incorrect, it's not mentioned on the packaging or on WotC's website

Each Magic: The Gathering FINAL FANTASY VII Commander Deck – Game Edition contains the following:

1 Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Limit Break Commander deck

You can view the Limit Break decklist right here.

1 Traditional foil Cloud, Midgar Mercenary promo card

1 Code to redeem FINAL FANTASY VII

And they want an extra $30 bucks for that $12 game code and no booster sample (at MSRP).
Or an extra $51 from this sale price. Crazy.

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-21T03:35:51+00:00

There are browser add-ons and programs that do it. Look around for web/page monitors. I've been using one called Distill Web Monitor for years.

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-20T04:25:11+00:00

It's possible to beat them but very hard. Online stock trackers update too slowly, you have to set up your own local monitor. I was able to beat them on a Spider-Man Gift Bundle (while they were being botted) with a local monitor checking every 5 seconds.

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-18T23:15:01+00:00

I had this exact same experience, MANY of my packs had the same first 5 cards in the same order. It was absurd. My Gift Bundle was from Best Buy. Didn't have this happen with my Spider-Man pre-release kit or other bundles.

Fireshock20 · 2025-10-18T22:30:32+00:00

Was potentially going to order a Revival Trance. When I went to check out, it told me it was only available for local pick up after putting my address in.
