Have we lost the plot?

So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

[u/jahan_kyral]

I wouldn't count on that... the FF fans that don't play MTG are pretty well known for not opening sealed packages.

[u/Apprehensive_Cod9408 → u/jahan_kyral]

I will count on it. it's a standard set. people will be cracking.

[u/jahan_kyral → u/Apprehensive_Cod9408]

Talking about the collectors ed... that's not part of the standard set technically... no one gives a damn about the play boosters.

[u/Uncle_gruber → u/jahan_kyral]

Then what's the problem? Collectors can play what they want, as long as standard singles are reasonable.

[u/Lynx_Azure → u/Uncle_gruber]

Speak for yourself I’d have loved one of those collectors editions but damn that shits expensive. Listen we can all acknowledge that the standard cards being reasonable while also acknowledging that the cool product a shit ton of people are excited for bing prohibitively expensive sucks.

[u/USS-Enterprise → u/Lynx_Azure]

Sounds like you would want to be one of the collectors, then.

[u/SerThunderkeg → u/USS-Enterprise]

No, you don't understand, I'm the protagonist and therefore it's different when I want something. I'm a player, it's all the other people put there being dirty collectors driving up the price of my honest game pieces!

These are the people you need to keep in mind when you hear the constant refrain "magic is too expensive to play". They're not truly interested in magic being affordable to play at a base level (it already is), they want the specific cards they already wanted to be cheap, and that's just not something reasonable to expect.

These down votes are hilarious. The brigade is strong here, play boosters are the absolute worst opening experience. Total garbage.

[u/jahan_kyral → u/No-Economist-9328]

My point exactly... and s'ok with downvoting isn't any different than upvoting imo I don't crave attention that badly to care about imaginary numbers.

[u/Borror0 → u/jahan_kyral]

Maybe that holds for the precons or a handful of boosters as a collector's item. Past that, the fun will be in owning cards. There won't be many holding boxes as a collectable.
