Now, as I read the list, the first thing my eyes directed to was the two copies of Stoneforge Mystic! Wow! Stoneforge Mystic is probably $24.99 a piece, and they are putting them in a $24.99 deck! Not to mention you are getting every other card in the deck! Sign me up for two of these bad boys! I just wanted to bring to everyones attention about Stoneforge Mystic. It's crazy.

[Mystery Guest]

Theoretically, this should drive the price of Stoneforge Mystic down to less than $12.49. I mean, why would you buy 2 Stoneforges for $40 when you can just get the event deck for $24.99?
Naturally, this will be sold out one hour after it gets put into stock at MtG stores everywhere (except for card stores with really slow business, then maybve they'll last up to 3 hours). After that, they'll probably incrementally increase the price until the decreasing Stoneforge Mystic price matches up to make the deck to about its worth in money (like how the Kuldotha Red event deck was basically worth its money).
Did anyone else notice the Mirran Crusader?

[Dragon Heart]

Yep...I'm going to be broke once summer hits....=/

Anyways, I like these decks an all, but, it feels like some of the one-ofs are random...Mirran Crusader is understandandble, but Apostle's Blessing? Shouldn't that, at the very least, be a two-of main?

But other than that, it's still a pretty nice deck.

So wait, these cards are tournament-legal versions, right?

Yep. The only thing that's stopping you are rotations, but that's not going to happen until Innistrad comes in.

its just like playing with a preconstructed deck, they just are based on actual decks that have been made and played by a lot of people and tend to feature much better cards.

She has already dropped to $14

[Master Moja]

Yeah I figured she would drop, but I could also see the carhop owners driving up the price of this one event deck just to make sure you are paying for it.

I noticed yesterday, even using only cards from the event deck, you could make a really competitive deck!
