3/24/2023 0 Comments Fetch lands![]() ![]() This goes beyond that into straight up market manipulation, almost akin to a pump-and-dump scheme, but with magical cardboard rectangles instead of real stonks.In its original form Magic had dual lands. Don't expect any announcements for them in Commander Legends (or any other set) until after the time where you can no longer cancel orders on your Secret Lair bundles.Īnd this, imo, is honestly worse than the future product just being a dud, or not "meaningful" enough. They aren't announcing where it's coming just to keep that seed of doubt that it won't actually impact prices so they can abuse them as lures for whale products with inflated prices before they crash. Assuming I'm right about the set, why haven't they quelled customer anger by just coming out and saying "ok, ok, they're in CL, cool down"? Because doing so would disincentivize people from spending $9999 on the fetch land lair on its release day, and also disincentivize them from rounding out whatever summer Secret Lair drops into a full bundle just to get the fetches. Specifically, I'm referring to the lack of announcements surrounding the contents of Commander Legends along with the sales schedule for Secret Lair: Ultimate and Secret Lair: Summer bundles. Specifically the timing, which I'm kind of surprised people in general aren't talking about, as it's drowned out by all the dumb guesses for what set they're coming in. ![]() Tasgall" you might ask, "a booster draft product that's print to demand? That sounds almost reasonable! How will I justify being angry at WotC now, you shilling Hasbro stan?" to which I say, don't worry, there's plenty here to be mad about. And while I'm fairly confident in this so far, I'm not going to promise to eat a scalding tarn or something if not because there is a possibility of another surprise product coming out in a previously non-existent slot, like another Mystery box or something. If I missed a set in the list above, please let me know. Meaningful reprint? Maybe, depends on the price - it'll be more expensive regardless due to the larger packs, but we'll see. So, Commander Legends, at rare, and print to demand, that's what my money is on, and the above is why. Theoretically they could make them mythic, but they've never been regular pack includes that weren't rare before, so that's not a particularly good guess. And just to get out in front of this one: "sure, maybe it'll be there, but they'll print them at mythic just to piss us off!" - no, I'm pretty sure people were saying this about Masters 2017, but lo and behold they were rare there too. Well, as of now, it's really one of two options: either some unannounced product we don't know about yet, or the only set we know about that matches all the criteria and has since the announcement, Commander Legends - an LGS exclusive product in the same "innovation product" slot as Conspiracy, Battlebond, and Modern Horizons, which will, like MH1, likely be print to demand. Secret Lair: Summer Bundle add-in - Yes, they're here, but that isn't the "future reprint", as this was announced in the same videoĭouble Masters - No, they explicitly said it won't be here ![]() Secret Lair: Haha, It's Allied Fetches, You Dolts - Not a set (failing D), and even as bad as WotC has been I don't think they'd stoop that low Modern Horizons 2 - Doesn't fail the above criteria, but fails the mission statement of MH sets, being that they include no already Modern-legal reprints ok, technically it could be here, but imo it's unlikely given the mission statement of the set Zendikar Rising Masterpieces - Technically not part of standard, but still fails stipulation C: not an LGS product Zendikar Rising Collectors Boosters - Still a standard set So as we speculate and drive the rumor mill, let's keep in mind some places it won't be: We know we told you we'd be making fetch happen in a set later this year, and we promise we will, but Double Masters is not that set. Now, to quell one rumor before it begins, there are no fetch land reprints in this set. WotC has given a number of criteria for where the "next reprint" will be, so let's get that out of the way:Ī: It's coming this year (2020) B: It's not a standard legal set C: It's an LGS exclusive product D: It is a setĪ, B, and C were all announced in Prof's video announcing the Secret Lair: Ultimate Edition, and D was mentioned in (one of the) Double Masters announcement: I just wanted to address this and try to promote a real discussion because the circlejerk is honestly starting to get more annoying than the actual issue at this point. ![]()
