Not really you can flush a few bills at a time with no problem. I strongly suggest you try this at home. Either way if it flushes or doesn't its all money to me.
I'm a plumber
This seems quite expensive given what you get. Sleeves, a life counter and...-/+ counters? $80 is steep.
Maybe it'll have an oversized {Kira, Great Glass-spinner}? That way my commander can be in gigantic oversized foil...

+1 -1 counters.
But why not just call them that then? Battle Marks sounds like something specific. *shrug* I dunno.
Honestly, I like the sleeves :P

To make it sound more valuable. Who would spend $80 on mtg some $hitty overpriced stuff we threw together.
Guilty!😁
...there's also 18 foil cards, one a {Sylvan Library} and god know what else. 17 new commanders? Lol
Plus 9 other oversized cards
This is amazing! Gimme dat foil {command tower}!!! 😍
I want it...that life counter is enthralling. But $80 is too steep for me right now for 20 cards and some little goodies. It will land itself on my amazon wish list and I will hope someone loves me a lot come holidays or birthday :P
For this to be worth it at $80, it needs more then {Sylvan Library}. For it to be worth it, the cards must be worth at least $140. What is the point in paying $80 for cards that are already overpriced by the secondary market? I'm paying secondary market prices for reprints?
From the Vault: Exiled gave us:
{Balance}
{Berserk}
{Channel}
{Gifts Ungiven}
{Goblin Lackey}
{Kird Ape}
{Lotus Petal}
{Mystical Tutor}
{Necropotence}
{Sensei's Divining Top}
{Serendib Efreet}
{Skullclamp}
{Strip Mine}
{Tinker}
{Trinisphere}
In beautiful foil, and MSRP $40. Quickly shot to $100, for good reason. For the box set to be worth it, the contents have to be worth more then if you bought them separately.
And oversized cards are worthless, because you can't use them to play other games. I'm cautiously optimistic, but it'd take a heck of a lot for those few foils to justify the $80 price tag.
It still surprises me that they ever set the MRSP so low for earlier FtVs and other sets. I don't think I've ever seen a place sell for MRSP. 😠
But then, I think all but one of our LGSs are ripping us off. 😭
Walmart to the rescue?
