Oversized doesn't count i guess.

And »Loyal Retainers«? They are not making friends with this! They cost ~170$, the price will shurly drop!
Most probably not, as the price on Ebay is skyrocketting. It was already $250 before the announcement... Let's see how it goes now.

This...

A felling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Still remember how excited and pleased I was to get that Dirtcowl Wurm at the Tempest pre-release in Korea. Now it is more like FIVE pre-release cards!!! FIVE more set related promo cards!!!!! There is no satisfaction, only desperation.

Sigh...

is my sentiment exactly. The collectible portion of this hobby is becoming like chasing salmon upstream with your bare hands...

From a purely fiscal standpoint, it's not the MSRP's that get me but the sheer rarity out of the gate that skyrockets prices only to watch them slowly come down after time. If I am going to pay anything above retail, I want my money invested in my hobby to be somewhat secure...not pay extra to get it because prices initially artificially inflate only to come parachuting down slowly as the demand wanes, availability increases slightly, and the veneer of collectibility wears off.

I know- Sorry the j/k means 'just kidding' which means, euphemistically,
'just joking.'

English euphemisms are very odd in translation. Sorry for the confusion.

It really would have been funny to see a Tiago Chan card in the set...like really a Tiago card and not the snapcaster mage.

Found this online:

sigh. About time to set a final goal for my collecting and get out of this spinning cage.

Edit: Let me add that we are not alone:

I hope I get it for a reasonable (pre-ordered) price - otherwise I think I'll miss this one and just get me 2-3 singles ...

... and maybe the prices will drop if the release-hype is over and all want to make cash simultaneously. :wink:
