 Source: Magic Arcana set contents
- 18 premium foil cards
- 10 oversized premium foil cards
- 120 UltraPRO foil card sleeves
- 20 double-sided Battle Marks (+ and &ndash
- A life counter that goes up to 99
So, it seems we will be having a new set of foil oversized generals to work with. Definitely neat, but I think the resources and excess foil material should've been used to put 10 more USEABLE cards in the set, especially at the $75 price tag. Foil alt art Sylvan Library  is definitely sweet, but it is gonna take many more foils of that caliber in order for this set to be worth it in my eyes. Hopefully each of the alt art foils are worthwhile here. I am also curious, since the list says there are 18 premium foils, though the picture has 4 packs of sleeved cards there, it looks as if there may be more cards than just 18.

That life counter is sweet. I want this just for that. I assume a $75 price tag means we'll see a good number of valuable cards in here as well.
My guess (hope) for the 4 packs of cards: In addition to the 18 premium cards, we'll also get normal versions of the 10 oversized cards, bringing the total number of cards to 28, 7 per pack.

As an Azusa IRL for EDH myself  I love to see foil, and it looks like immediately getting really, really good cards for this. We'll have to wait and see what the other ummm.... nvm numbers, cards are but foil Sylvan Library is a good start
Decks I run Spoiler:
Show
I currently run a deck for Standard, Modern, Commander and Legacy.
For standard, I have a typical, horribly budget Rakdos Deck Wins.
For Modern, I have a very lovable mono-green, resistant to removal type of deck.
For Legacy, I'm trying too hard to break Pyromancer Ascension  .
For Commander/EDH, I'm running The Mimeoplasm  .
A little morals thing about me, I like winning through combos, but not infinitely.
However quiet, I am a Christian, so feel free to tell me you are too, it's always a relief.Cheers!

$75 is expensive, and just 18 cards (plus 10 commander cards) is a bit weak

Pretty cool, although I didn't expect that kind of price tag.

ugh oversized cardboard again pleaes wish they would get rid of them. they are pointless heck they don't even make card sheets to display them in binders anymore. they just sit in a box with all the rest.
with a 75$ price tag yeah there better be some great foils in there. so far it's not worth it. A foil mineoplasm not worth it, a foil azusa another dissapointment. the foil sylvan library is ok i like that. come on blizz blow our minds with this. don't make them cra ppy like some of the vault sets
