Just cracked a box and here is what I DID NOT GET...
{Voice of Resurgence}
{Ral Zarek}
{Blood Baron of Vizkopa}
{Legion's Initiative}
That's right... Not one card over $10 in my box.
Well when a newly released set still only has 4 cards over $10.. You probaby shouldny buy that box lol, but that sucks

I pre-ordered it like 2 months ago and due to a shipping screw up I didn't receive it until today. I agree with you though, I wouldn't have bought it today... Still, opening a $30 card softens the blow, but of course no such luck.
Life aint easy
Mo money mo problems
I'm not buying any Dragon's Maze besides possible drafting. The set is terrible value wise.
Agreed. Probably the one set in a long while I didn't buy a box of. Instead I just got common and uncommon playsets. 30 bucks preorder arrived 3 days after release. Can't complain. Currently only using {Zhur-Taa Druid}...

I guess I'm lucky then I've only bought 4 boosters and got {Ready // Willing} {Blood Scrivener} and 2 {Voice of Resurgence} and the token for it.
I had a draft for it and as I was leaving my lgs some guy came up to me and said that drafting for DGM is horrible, but I told him it cost effective

Not even close, unless you win, and there's a good card in the pool. I got 3rd the other day and luckily there was a {Steam Vents}. I also got a {Skylasher}, which I'm betting will increase in value. That card is an amazing Hate Bear. I just highly dislike this set, can't wait for Modern Masters!!!

I'm surprised its only $2. 2/2 flash can't be countered is good on its own but reach and pro blue is sweet.
Sky lasher was initially 3-4 bucks
So it's dropped

Everything from a new set that has just released will always be overpriced. The card has yet to find a purpose. It's amazing, give it time, even it takes a rotation to find a home.

Exactly why I'm picking up a bunch tomorrow. I also really want to make {Bronzebeak Moa} work, so a 2 mana flash creature is exactly what I need. I've got my eye on a few cards that I think will shoot up when we rotate.
Throw {Deputy of Acquittals} in that mix

Screw that guy! In my draft the other day my friend had 5 of those and an {AEtherling}, and {Trostani's Summoner}, and like 5 counterspells... We ended up going to time, it was ridiculous.

I played a draft on Sunday and a guy had an {Ætherling}. We went 1-1 in the first two games and in game 3 I had a great board and was taking over the game when he dropped the bomb. {Ætherling} is stupid powerful in limited. Game ended in two turns after he came out. Swinging for 8 unblock able every turn then after combat blink it to make it an untapped blocker again... Whoever created that card was a moron. I have no idea how it passed play testing.

Because control decks ({U} in standard) can't easily counteract the amazing creatures and creature-supporting spells. Outside of board wipes it's actually quite difficult for control decks to deal with many of these creatures, which when coupled with {Cavern of Souls} makes it even harder for control decks. {Ætherling} is a way for blue to counteract that, at the expense of the limited environment.
But a pumpable, unblockable, immune to removal creature is just too much... There is no way for the opponent to interact with this creature and I think that is terrible for the game.
{Devour Flesh} or any sac card hits these cards.

If its their only creature out it does. Not likely in limited formats that they have only 1 creature on the board.
And even then they could exile it with the ability and have no creatures to sacrifice...

Oh, true. Because its not a flicker. It's an exile until end of turn. Really. Immune to removal.
True
Guess you're going to have to have {biovisionary} with a few one drops on the field so you can pull off an {infinite reflection}
Stunning all for the biovisionary win

He's a bastard but I think it's a beautiful card. Swing for 4 unblockable, Flicker, {Supreme Verdict}. Pass turn XD
