HootTheOwl posted:Prereleases are sealed kits now, aren't they? Why not? It's still six boosters, I would assume that the store cost is going up on these kits in line with everything else. I had expected a $5-6 increase in prerelease kits since the packs are $1 more. The prizing at my store has stayed the same as in the past: a pack per win.

There's no connection between what's in the box and it's price unless wotc also increases the price of the kits.

The $30 store has top 8 payout and gives 2 prize packs for signing up on the mtg companion app. The $40 store doesn't say so I've asked on discord but I think they've previously done pack per win.

And, just a hunch, it'll get a reprint in this year's big reprint set too. Feels like that's what they've done with a lot of the chase cards last year. "Oh hey, here's a secret lair for a card we haven't printed in a long time that's high in demand! Haha just kidding, we'll print it in two other sets this year too. Thanks for the 39.99 plus shipping."

The contents are the new packs though, which they're selling for a higher price so I would expect them to charge stores more. I just signed up for my prerelease and it was still $30 though so who knows.

No one's talking about that we're talking about whether WotC is being greedy expecting more for prerelease packs given they're play boosters which are more expensive than even set boosters were.

LifeLynx posted:https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/secret-lair-commander-deck-raining-cats-and-dogs  About three years ago, I made my fiancee a Rin and Seri deck. The thing I really really sprang for at the time was a Great Henge. Last year I put in two proxy dual lands. It's nice to know the deck I made for her for Christmas is not as boring as that deck. https://archidekt.com/decks/928845/lindas_deck At the very least the precon has Jetmir's Garden in it.

On a box basis yes, but that's because Play Booster boxes have 36 packs (like draft booster boxes) and Set Booster boxes have 30. If you frequent a store that is charging more for Play Boosters than Set Boosters, I would suggest shopping elsewhere because they're using SKU confusion as cover to raise their prices.

The deck's fine, it's almost a match to my list. I needed to make some concessions for cards that I considered too on-theme and cute not to play, and whoever designed this list must have had the same love for the theme I do. I cut Basilisk Collar, but if it has the dog art I forgive them. The real insult is the lands.

The opacity of WotC's prices is so frustrating, I really, really hate the lack of MSRP. I'm sure it has let them gently caress with pricing and make beaucoup bucks without pissing off LGSs too much, but good lord it sucks as a consumer. I don't care too much about shifting to Play Boosters as long as draft is still fun (having multiple booster types is loving stupid anyhow), and I get that prices need to go up sometimes, but the lack of transparency is maddening.

MSRP doesn't stop stores from scalping. The newest set of the One Piece Card Game is super under-printed because Bandai sucks, boxes are MSRP $110 but stores who have confirmed allocations of the new print wave are still charging $300 for them because that's current market price.
