Perhaps I should elaborate more on my point: It's less an issue of price and more of quantity: Any card released in these niche decks (And only these decks) will have a limited print run compared to even mythics in large sets. I don't know how many of any given deck they usually make, but I doubt the numbers for any given deck is incredibly high. Without reprints, a few years down the line pulling together a playset of any given card is going to become difficult. I have no doubt that the availability of singles immediately upon release will be more than adequate. My question is more about what happens if these cards do end up being very useful in multiplayer formats. (Especially ones without 1-of limits) I realize that the prices will go up and the market will adjust etcetera, but it's still somewhat annoying.

Yes, this is just me complaining about something mostly irrelevant, you can move on. 

I agree with you. What WotC should do is release a 6th pack that will contain the 51 new cards once for a logical price. That would give them much more profit (I think) and make the fans happier. I would deffinetely buy something like that but I am not sure if I am going to buy one of the decks. I may just buy from another source single of the cards I want. In that case my WotC will never get my money and I assume that this will happen with most players that just want the new cards.

A quick question for anyone at WotC who might be reading this (or just anyone who knows the answer):  the box packaging shows and advertises "3 oversized commander cards".  What happens if my general gets Condemn ed or Bant Charm ed?  What do I put into my library?  What if my general gets bounced and then I get poked by a Hypnotic Specter or resolve a See Beyond - won't it be sort of obvious which card is my general?  Will the Commander deck products also include regular-sized versions of the commanders (or at least the newly-printed ones) so that they can be shuffled in or bounced without breaking the game?  

...Or will we spend $30 on a cadillac casual-Magic product and then have no choice but to make proxies of the cards we already bought?  :P

Aside from that worry, looks like a great job of packaging and delivery!  I only wish that the packaging didn't obscure the names of all the new generals, I want to know what they're called.  ^_^

And P.S. whatsername the Greathearted is apparently a Minotaur but her head is more like the head of a Thomson's Gazelle.  :P  Please oh please tell me there isn't a Didgeridoo in there...

Clearly there is only one solution to the oversized thing: Have the ENTIRE DECK be oversized and well as having the undersized version. I would definitely buy a product that had both an oversized AND undersized version of every card. Because why not?

I want to be annoyed that Artisan is basically not constructed playable and say Wizards should make more FNM promos that are constructed playables, but really they've done fairly well about this in the past couple months. Granted, I think it should have been the other card that ends in 'of Kozilek', but whatever.

The cards feature the FNM logo in the text box

Hey Monty: you might want to update your copy/paste template to reflect the new FNM promo layout.

Hmm. You might be right!

NOOOOOOOO! Instead get them to continue the FNM logo in the text box!
