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

You've been had

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

Well good job then. I hope you get your money's worth. Only card that interests me slighly is {Rhysic Study}.

{Loyal Retainers} and  {Sylvan Library} are pretty coo.

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.
