'I am a bit of a loss as to what the purpose of the product is beyond a collectible to speculate on. is there an actual product aimed at the average player to celebrate the 30th anniversary, or no?- PleasantKenobi October 5, 2022 'It’s not too hard to see how a product like this reinforces that growing resentment. 'There is a sentiment that the game is catering for whales, investors, and collectors more than players,' he told IGN. Magic: The Gathering YouTuber PleasantKenobi said this model, despite being claimed on Magic's website to be a 'celebration' of the game, further reinforces fan concerns that Wizards of the Coast are sacrificing its quality for the sake of making big money. The four booster packs in the $999 30th Anniversary Set contain the standard 15 cards each. This means that, while it does feature cards that will likely be incredibly valuable such as Black Lotus, players could also spend $999 dollars, open their four booster packs, and receive nothing of real value.įor context, collecting a full set of Magic cards would usually still cost hundreds of dollars when that set's booster packs are priced at $4 each, so collecting every card in this 30th Anniversary Edition set could reach an eye-watering amount of money.
