This is, in a way, disappointing.Ĭommander is a format that really rewards deckbuilding, delving deep into the search engines to find that one card that perfectly fits your deck. You can count on the fact that if two people with a Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer deck sit at the same table, at least 50% of the cards they play are the same. On the other hand, a big issue with revolving a deck around a single mechanic is that both the options available and deckbuilding more generally are incredibly restricted. Yes, mechanics such as Morph are fun and may need some love in Commander, so it's great that players who like to play around these mechanics get what they've been wanting for so long.

Right off the bat, I have very mixed feelings on this year's choice of building decks around a specific mechanic. Is it worth it to buy these decks for the above reasons? Well, that's what this article looks to answer. Is it worth it to buy this deck and make a profit on the contents? Absolutely not. The question "Is it worth it?" still applies, albeit in a different meaning. With that said, there are plenty of expensive cards that only see play in Commander, and these decks would be the perfect place for them. I've come to peace that we will never get high-end constructed reprints in a Commander product. Due to the large card pool of Commander, these cards need to be of a certain power-level not to become obsolete. Provide new, exciting, and playable cards for existing players in the format.Preferably a deck that players want to keep and upgrade. Provide an entry for newer players to the format or even MTG itself by having an interesting and functional deck.The Commander products are here to do three things.
COMMANDER FACELESS MENACE UPGRADES CRACK
If we wanted valuable cards like fetches and Snapcaster Mages, we would crack Masters boosters. As soon as you've opened your Commander PreCon deck to sell the contents, you will be heavily disappointed by the actual value of most cards. You will never make a profit with singles from these products. I will say this though, for those concerned about value. Why do I bring this up? Well, I would like to point out is that there's no reason for me to review the financial value of these products in the way that other popular American sources do. The more "bulk" these cards get, the more accurate this theory becomes.

A card like Ghostly Prison might be worth $5 according to these American sources, but at Cardmarket you can pick up this card for as little as 1,50 €. We have Cardmarket to keep prices in check. We have the luxury that we don't have to buy our bulk commons at premium pricing at one of the big three stores available to us. For us Europeans, this is pretty irrelevant. When reviewing products such as this, a lot of (mostly American) sources look at the value of a product. So, let's take a closer look at this year's entry, and how it competes against its predecessors.īuy Singles if You Want a Thespian's Stage

After a busy week of spoilers and the public reaction to the new products, everything we ever wanted to know about Commander 2019 is here.
