It looks like they know what people want, but when you dig into it the cards they put into masters sets are more like a selection of cards that hit a price threshold. The trouble is, the ones that are actually throwing the most money at them are singles sellers and drafters at this point, so they literally have no idea what older constructed players actually want in terms of a sealed product. Kind of missed this topic, but part of the reason things have ended up where they are is that Wizards of the Coast has been catering towards whoever is going to throw the most money at them. That's why I opted to spend my money on a box of Unstable and a ABUR dual instead.
What I give a rats fez about is pulling all the garbage cards from the other 20 or 40 packs. I don't give a rats fez about pulling Jace. IMHO, $6 is just about pushing the limits here. My point? Iconic and M25 do NOT feel like they're worth $10 a pack.
All of this coupled with rarity shifts that have ZERO to do with draft or the set itself and you have a pretty good recipe for a royale mess. I strongly feel that "draft matters" really hurt these sets, especially since many of these cards were never meant to be drafted in the first place. But WotC practically threw it away with their completely warped idea of what, "iconic," actually means and what their opinion of what cards should be the most representative of the past 25 years of Magic. They do, and the proof of that is the Modern Masters product line.Īll they ask of us in return is that we buy a few booster boxes of that product for a couple hundred dollars each. Quote from Mig2014 »In Wizards defense, we can’t say they don’t listen to people demanding reprints of needed and expensive cards for Modern.
