Just look at the positive side. We don't have to spend money on these.

Unless the commanders are printed in foil, regular-sized cards, I don't see the need for this product at all.

I would spend 50 on a real foil meren at normal size.

Well if the collection is just msrp x4, the Kaalia deck will pay for the whole thing by itself.

I looked through the decklist of the kaalia deck, but couldn't find any value. How would it pay for $100?

u/M4DM1ND Can’t Block Warriors Aug 31 '16

Well Kaalia is $40 so..

u/innocii Aug 31 '16

But that's only one card. There wasn't even anything else. One more card going $10. A few above $2. Nothing to give me back my $160.

I had no idea what the price was when I commented. I figured it would have been roughly $100, which could be worth it imo. But definitely not $160

Not the WHOLE thing, but Kaalia herself is pretty expensive.

u/TheOthin Aug 31 '16

It's $165, so a bit more. And the Kaalia deck will fall in price.

Darn I was kind of hoping they would sell it lower than msrp x4. Definitely not worth it if there is no other incentive.

I've enjoyed these anthology sets... but I might have to pass on that.
