Say what you will about the set, but this article does a fantastic job of laying out what it contains.

The life counter is cool, and I understand the appeal of the cards. They're not close to being worth what the Arsenal is selling for, though. Supply is way too low for a product designed to support a large player base. The only thing I would be willing to buy is the Clue game.
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."
Indeed, I don't find the product worth it at its msrp (that means normal price right?)? Oversized card without the adequate cards? What's the deal? I have most of the cards but still, a bit silly to me.
Not interested at all, and that's a good thing because there's absolutely no way I could get my hands on one...
Rules question? Have you read the Basic rulebook already? No? Why not take some time to do that?

And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real. --Erin McKean, Redefining the Dictionary
I think this product is pretty cool except for the fact that if you have been dutifully buying wizards summer products you have a significant portion of the cards. Furthermore I spoke the the card shop I go to and he said he will likely only get 4. It is not okay that already you cant get ftv for less than $90 and this item will be even more limited? If magic is becoming more popular then WOTC needs to keep up production with demand.
I really would have preferred the visual card for each of the 18. And they aren't all at a set rarity like FtV sets, which us super weird. Is that weird to anybody else?
