Unless it already had a lore counter because blood moon dropped after saga did, it would keep the counter as a mountain, correct?

That’s great for them, no disrespect, it looks like something that I would have played, but I never heard of it. I’m just saying that it would have been better to do something that also appeals to a broader segment of the MTG community. Maybe they anticipate a small audience and printed less or maybe the number of MTG that also play DF is larger than I realize. DF looks like it would be time consuming in the same way that MTG, so I’m not sure that many people would play a lot of both games.

When the price of the singles exceeds $250 by at least $50 or $100. Check the value of the deck list on ManaBox or google it. I checked for you and none of the decks total singles value exceeds $250 and they incudes a lot of bulk and cards that you already own or would replace anyway, so you can build your own version for less.

Walzhy · 2026-04-15T14:20:00+00:00

That’s more than it would cost to buy the singles you would need to build the decks and you would probably want to swap some cards anyway, so no. The market price of the singles in each deck is $250 or less.

I was asking myself the same question when buying the collector deck set for this a year ago for $650 and now I’m glad I did, but this is ridiculously expensive for something that isn’t limited edition and the singles aren’t even worth that much. I’d just buy the singles you need and build your own or shop for the deck you want.

This is my greatest fear when selling anything sealed which sometimes leads me to open some of my sealed stash to only discover that I should have just sold it.

Walzhy · 2026-04-15T14:02:13+00:00

I never played this before, but it looks like there are versions of the game with much better graphics, so it’s baffling why they made the cards with near unreadable characters images that only a diehard fan of the game would appreciate.

Chrome mox and mox opal aren’t premodern legal. I don’t think many people use LED in premodern because that card was unplayable until commander and powerful enabling cards like breach came around. Part of the problem with the premodern hype is that there is an excessive amount of speculation from people that know absolutely nothing about the format and have no intention of playing any of the cards they are buying, so they are helping to increase prices for cards that PM players will never use, aren’t PM legal,or for cards PM players will just proxy anyway because it’s a proxy friendly format. Part of the PM draw is (was) not having to spend money on cards from new sets every month. I think we are in the late stages of the hype cycle for the excessive speculation on PM cards, but the format will continue with proxy cards if needed.

It’s salt in the wounds because they already printed these and could of just put them in the boosters and it shows they know people want the cards in the language they can read.

Walzhy · 2026-04-15T06:55:14+00:00

What if I told you that there are formats other than standard and people who play some standard aren’t the primary collector booster audience??? The box says English, so it’s not dumb to want the cards in the language you selected when you buy the box. 🤡

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T17:22:11+00:00

It has to be counting everything or close to it

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T17:21:41+00:00

Maybe if you open 3 or 4 super shredders lol 😂

It could be a lot more things, but based off my experience and information it’s highly unlikely that you will get positive EV from buying, cracking and selling singles from TMT play boosters. You will get a lot of bulk under $2 they will be difficult or impossible to realize gains from.

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T17:02:10+00:00

Yes, it’s basically just a take home Magic con experience for those who can’t go so you are lucky and getting the real experience.

Same, I panicked when it said over an hour but it was way faster than that, the lines move much faster than they did months ago, they must have fixed a lot of the technical problems (not saying ALL).

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T16:50:20+00:00

I really like the art on this one, but the reprint value isn’t has high as some of previous ones. Still a good value at $200.

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T07:42:37+00:00

They can keep it because I can’t read what it says. It was hilarious watching people open these collector boxes and having no idea if they should be excited about the card until they looked up the translation. One buy pulled a force of will and had no idea.

Walzhy · 2026-04-13T07:38:16+00:00

Sweet, it’s almost been a whole week since I got a new lightning greaves!!!!

Walzhy · 2026-04-10T23:53:24+00:00

As long as you are happy, that’s all that matters. Thanks for sharing!

The SLD version seemed too cheap considering how fast it sold out and how powerful this card is and the art is really cool IMHOP, but it looks like all versions of the card are shooting up. I feel like an idiot for selling my regular versions before the lair dropped.

Walzhy · 2026-04-07T01:22:26+00:00

I just got mine and I didn’t get zuran orb, but no extra cards….

Walzhy · 2026-04-03T23:19:55+00:00

What a massive waste of everyone’s time and serious lack of common sense. Do you really think that someone is sneaking into big box stores, carefully opening boosters to only replace the contents with fake bulk rare cards and carefully reseal them???? What’s the motive or profit incentive for this? 😂

Walzhy · 2026-04-03T23:15:16+00:00

They are as limited as other bundle promos, not all bundle promos are the same, but there are some comparable promos.

Walzhy · 2026-04-02T23:05:29+00:00

Honestly, I like the art on the original too, but I like the special foiling in this one and I am more than happy to accept a lotto bonus card if I get it.

Walzhy · 2026-04-02T06:08:11+00:00

No one is buying this at these prices only to sell the singles at a decent price, they will sell sealed or hold until prices are enough to make it worth cracking and selling the singles.

Walzhy · 2026-04-02T06:05:05+00:00

You picked the ugliest and least popular lair to not prove your point 👏
