I know it's Hasbro's choice to increase pricing as much as they want. It's also up to the player base to not be morons and keep buying in.
$7 to $10 to $13 for Masters sets (No extra value added as pricing increased), $8 for Modern Horizons (pretty much a standard pack with a garbage art card). Now a $25 pack... SMH... These should be $12 tops. Sadly people will keep pumping money into overpriced products and make them even more overpriced.
At least everything in the Collector Boosters is foil.

Yeah... I am absolutely not a fan of the collector booster concept here. Sounds like another Hasbro exclusive again and the last two times was an absolute fiasco. At least the normal boosters have a chance at the Showcase cards....
I think the implication is that you can just buy the Collector packs. They are basically 25 dollar lotto tickets.
In all seriousness, I kind of doubt he would go through a new design philosophy at a con panel, and if it were just products becoming more regular (like 2 commander sets a year), I doubt there would be this much build up for it. So really this probably something more mundane but still interesting enough to keep a panel's audience excited. He did say we would need an article to walk us through the change. My bet is that they are going to announce some kind of new format (Post Modern, a "modern" version of Commander, etc.) or a new card type. Probably a new card type. Maybe like Fortifications or something.

You are totally right. Dang.

I would argue that the Collectors Boosters are more impactful to the average MTG player than the change to Proliferate was.
The link is up. Says Access is denied when I click on it. I am sure that will change in a few minutes.

Totally, and 1v1 Brawl coming to Arena.
Unknown. We might learn more in MaRo's article (due to be live at 7:30 Pacific) but I think the article will deal more with the booster situation.
