I will agree that the profit driving of ever larger companies to feed the absurd salaries of d bags at the top likely has some influence, but stupid is as stupid does. They didn't have to wreck the game... SOMEONE thought they were doing a good job. I guarantee the people at HASBRO don't know or care what the details are. And then there's the few in charge at WotC who've let one or two run rampant for way too long.
Their a reason they don't make the promo... whats the word "good" ? Slap a good walker in their or literaly any other high playabled card and it might have been good.
Looks like WOTC is trying to cash in on the whole Pokemon TCG box set craze hahahahahahahaha.
What's next, include 3 to 5 boosters, a foil alternate art promo of a planeswalker card, a jumbo sized version of the same card, and a little figurine representing that planeswalker?
I'd buy it...

Latest proof this forum is a trashfire:
Your authoritarianism will be the reason the company suffers another 60M in losses.
So apparently I'm buying another Kaladesh Holiday Gift Box this year. This years product is so bad. Such a senseless cash grab it reminds me of the premium foil packs back in Alara block. Look at what a success they were, and somehow they, in retrospect, seem a much better buy then this junk.

Viva la revolution against raising MSRP.
Casual Players: We are the 99%. Buy local or go home.
^^^^^ Its made even worse by the recent lowering of packs at Wal Mart from $4.18 to $3.33 a pack. So I can buy 3 packs for $9.99 or 3 packs in this grift box for double that amount $19.99. The extra junk that's included isn't worth 10 bucks. This one is a Wizards fail.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

I think I'd buy this. 3 packs is worth $10 and the foil lands/Kari Zev are worth $10 to me. Though I've been a Mark Poole fan since my Revised days so my opinion is slightly skewed.
If you think this was bad wait until you do the math on Iconic Masters. Normally they are passable, but the new one is not much better than a standard set, except only 2/3 the packs per box and twice as much or more per box. This sounded like it was going to be a good year and now I'm fearing what kind of eldrich horrors they are going to stick into the new core set in the summer, especially after such a weak showing in Iconic Masters. At this rate it's going to be like a build-a-box draft set that has things people have long since forgotten thrown in.

Here's hoping someone's last set is Unstable.
Why are they transitioning to this crud?
I'd buy it...
