They giving you $30 in store credit? Commanders Arsenal is worth about $20 if you sell it's contents individually.

Starcitygames is paying $160 for it opened, so I don't think doubling my money is being had, per se.

Friggin terrible.. You should challenge the owner to a duel and if you win you get it for free, if he wins you gotta pay the 170

You don't have to pay for it.

Am I the only one defending Commander's Arsenal? :(

Possibly. The price is just so unreasonable on it. I could build an entire commander deck for that price. 2 decks for $170. And that's including much more useful cards than most of what this set is offering.

I'm very disappointed that I want the life counter more than anything else in the set. And I'm a heavy commander player. That should not happen.

MSRP is only $75. It's reasonable for that price.

Agreed Gorzo, as a fellow EDH enthusiast (albeit not to your extent), this "arsenal" as I've said before, is F'ing junk. The price, even MSRP, is laughable. I feel sorry for people who pay for it. Contents, while some may say are cool and worth it, are actually a joke. Who are these people using all these oversized cards!?! And I gotta say extremely poor choice of name. Arsenal? Please, should have called it
"Commander's Bunch-O-Crap"
"We here at WoTC want to support this format, so here's a bunch of gimmicky junk we thought you would love that EVERY Commander player should have, an arsenal if you will. It'll be extremely limited thus insanely cost ineffective, enjoy!"

Ugh I've bitched about this twice in the same thread already. This "product" is pissing me off.

The reason it's so overpriced is cause they know they have us all by the short and curlys. We'll fork over the money (please, sir, can i have some more?) Like the tobacco companies and the rise in the price of smokes, they know we're hooked and some, not all, but enough of us will pay the outlandish price. Reality check. Wizards knows their market.

So true Double O. Sad but true.

I'd pay 4.99 for the life counter.

You need help my friend.
I'd gladly trade for your life counter...

Help?! What I NEED is a foil command tower lol. It's the only land in my EDH deck that isn't foil and that's bad ju-ju and its dropping my win ratio. It's not that I'm crazy and its not that I have money to waste, it's just my unique situation and desire to bring ju-ju harmony to my deck.

Nothing but truth. I'm don't like having basic lands that are not foil and not full art. I like the zendakar land and un-sets but it throws everything off.

Post by: Double-O-Scotch on November 03, 2012, 02:01:26 AM
I call it foil float. If some of you don't believe me, try this little test. Build a 60 card deck (doesn't matter which format) normal lands for whatever type, and swap one out for a foil. 59 non-foil cards and 1 foil land. Watch how often you see that land! It's ju-ju!!! Which even rhymes with true... twice. so it must be. True. Bo-true ju who shelters me.

That is also true. Ok fair. But it. I'd love the life counter lol

Post by: Moneekahh on November 03, 2012, 05:37:05 PM
Doesn't this come with a foil {Kaalia of the Vast}?? Need that and the {command tower}, not worth 170 hahaha. Is this going to be printed in foreign languages?!
