As in, they were a "bust." $40 is pretty expensive for a brand new player to want to invest in something they have no idea whether or not they'll enjoy when it comes to paper magic, where you're limited to when and where you can play much more so then say a video game. This is the exact scenario so far as to why last year's decks did so poorly. However, this is an entire deck revealed now, and therefore does set some precedent of what we can expect in the coming week of spoilers. This is, of course, somewhat bold to state about the entire product this year since we've only seen one deck. I do agree that WotC seems to be targeting players who don't buy singles, but it just seems like that's not even a decent option for those people whereas it used to be a great one. I truly do miss playing the decks for a little while before striping them apart for singles to use elsewhere, and it was always just worth it 2017 and prior.

Until last year, I always happily picked up a full set of the decks and was very satisfied. Players deep into the format are likely just going to pick up singles anyways, this product isn't geared towards them - it is geared towards people who likely don't have a commander deck or who don't spend a whole lot of money on a secondary market. These decks have never been what I hoped they would be for a $40 price tag, but they are nice to see anyways. Quote from JuiceBOX ✿or anyone absolutely entrenched in the format, these products will always be disappointing. It's a good deck and looks fun to play, I will definitely pick it up and playtest it. Morph is an old concept requiring new blood, which this deck provided quite a few. Precons are tasked for supporting older deck ideas and/or inventing new one, to stimulate deckbuilding. As it is, I think the deck is fine for amateurs, it has a theme, good mana base and removal, versatile legends, and easy to learn. If they include more pricy reprints then individual LGS might also sell them for higher cost, make it truly unapprochable by new players. The primary function of commander precons are there to be a gateway for players new to this format, $40 for a cohesive deck with potential for expansion isn't that high. What badly needed reprint would a morph deck have?īut I will say Ixidor, Reality Sculptor is not a reprint so that needs a reprint nowĪnd brine elemental is missing to but that’s probably because of the one sided stasis lock you can do with it with one morph card in the deckĬalling precons a bust base on the price of reprints is rather skewed, don't you think? With no badly needed reprints for experienced players, and the high $40 price tag that keeps a lot of newer players away, who is this product even for? And this is also considering the still absurd $40 price tag, which already causes tons of new players that don't have a ton to spend to shy away from a precon. The reprints so far are pretty bad feels for anyone that doesn't need a new deck to get into the format. I'm curious what other people are thinking and feeling about this. It's looking a little better than last year I suppose, but so far pretty awful.

The best reprint we get is Seedborn Muse, which you can get easily for less than $10 already. Sure, Command Zone states the overall reprint value is high, but that's any deck when you're adding up a bunch of bulk cards. Quote from Wizmin »So we've got one full deck list out now, and there isn't a single badly needed reprint in the whole list.
