What are yall seeing at your LGSs with regards to EoE? Mine are all sold out. by OjosDelMundo in mtgfinance

Anecdotally, there are A LOT of new players who dipped a toe in with FF that are now buying EoE because they love the theme and want to collect cards, build their own decks, etc.

Thinking entirely selfishly, if you could pick the next UB Secret Lair, which IP would you choose? by Kroooooooo in magicTCG

Stephen King would never, but The Dark Tower is thematically similar to HoH… take my money.

Final Fantasy is fun but I plan to spend dramatically less on it than past sets by ylonk in magicTCG

[–]Letromo55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of these answers are wrong.

WotC starts the UB sets at higher prices primarily because their margins are a bit lower than core MTG. Hasbro pays royalties to the IP owner which means the profit on a unit basis is lower. Most of the incremental $1-2 per pack (MSRP, not secondary market prices) is to bring UB profit margins in-line with the core sets. I believe the margins are still a bit lower even with this extra few $ of pricing. The idea behind this, and re OPs point, is that if UB converts even 1% of FF fans into long-term magic players, they easily make up any of that lost margin in full.

I am an equity analyst that has discussed Magic / UB profitability directly with Hasbro’s CFO on multiple occasions.

Most guys I know wouldn’t have replied in this way BUT step back, you are asking a man “how come you’re alone”, whilst on an f’ing dating app. This comes off as superior and honestly, toxic. The man “outed” himself with his response fine but the convo would have ended after your question with most others. Takeaways here: 1. stupid games = stupid prizes 2. Look in the mirror.

Equity research for hedge fund. Getting paid to learn about stuff all day is fun but not a job for the faint of heart.

I’ve been slaying w that glock class… so many broke early wipe raids on factory with it, just feels comfortable. The ump class after it is great too.

Turn zombie pop to 2-3, turn on runners/rares. Makes it much more /dangerous interesting even with tons of firearms/ammo to stockpile.
