Ok wheres the part where they say if you really want this product well good luck, advanced stores are only getting 4 or 5, this is going to be rarer then from the vault. I really hate wizards for making this so limited. I have four shops around me, and no one will be selling this. They all will be used a tournament prizes because they are so limited quantity. Ebay is already selling at $250.  Awsome product, but whats the point if no one can get it.

The sad part is, most Commander players won't get to enjoy this at all. I love the idea, love the cards, love the extras. And I'll never get to appreciate it because I can't fork over the 3-5x MSRP needed to get my hands on one. How'd the prices get that bad? Something about stores getting only 2-4 maximum of this or something.

For something intended for Commander players, it looks like only the most affluent EDH players or pure collectors will be able to afford this.

What happened? Wasn't it proper to assume that just about as many of these would sell as last year's Commander decks?

This, to me, doesn't "let you all know that we're serious about supporting the Commander format."

Phew, what a relief, this product is so underwhelming I don't need to get worked up over how terrible wizards policy is regarding products like this, FTV etc. Could've done without the nauseating "look at me I'm quirky" writing persona.

Okay, I realize this will make me the complete dork in the room, but I want that life counter so bad! Plus the counters are cool too, if only to put underneath a die so that you can tell at a glance what type of counter they are.

I'm sure Gottlieb already knows this, but his coworkers...  well, the people who would have been coworkers had he been working at Wizards of the Coast in 2001...  already took the ill-advised Clue + fantasy wizards idea.

Chaos Warp is an instant, not a sorcery. Congrats once again, editors of Wizards.

I really don't understand why they went for foil sleeves. Sure they fit the theme of the box, but seriouslly, has anyone ever used a foiled sleeve that was worth a damn? Shuffle them up a couple times and the foil just starts peeling off the back. Now Matte sleeves would have been pretty hot . . . .

While we're on the subject, when were Decree of Pain and Sylvan Library printed in modern frames before this?
