Should have been $30 per drop with WotC giving $20 to Seattle Childrens Hospital for each and only keeping $10 a drop to cover their costs. They may have sold well over twice the number of drops over the $60 price tag and raised even more money for Childrens' Hospital.
UltraPro is donating $16 of every $21 mat sold to Childrens Hospital. That works out to be 72% of every mat sold going to charity. Far above the 50% of WotC/Hasbro.
Regardless I will save my money on this and donate to a Childrens' Hospital in my region instead.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Art is decent too, not the omega level cringe fest of some of them before.

But 60 bucks for 4 cards ?
The business model is still nothing i want to support, even if they want to sneak in their tax cut scheme (if you want to support that cause, just make a donation on your own, instead of funneling that money to WotC to artificially make the product even more expensive as a phony excuse)
You bring up a good point. I could just donate directly. I may do that possibly. Wotc still gets 30 bucks for 4 pieces of cardboard and a fancy box. They still make a decent profit on this.

Did Teddy Roosevelt advocate for child soldiers? Children shouldn't be put into combat. I'm not going to get into a big argument about this but seriously yikes dude
You seem to be wanting to make a big argument out of it aren't you?
Should youth be taught martial arts? Should youth be taught fencing, wrestling, strength training? They aren't training these "children" to be sent into combat or soldiers. Don't be argumentative for the sake of argument. Get real DUDE. You're on my ignore list now so don't expect any more interaction. Drop it and we move on.

They aren't soldiers. They are learning to defend themselves. They are learning self discipline. They are learning the meaning of self-reliance and also of the common good. BIG DIFFERENCE.

Maybe many haven't noticed but it appears 2 of the youth catkins are male and 2 are female.

The Collected Company artwork is adorable at first. But you can also think that Ajani looks like a warlord with child soldiers.

That is my sticking point. I know the cards are valued far above that 60 dollar mark, but at 40 dollars with 25 going to charity and only 15 going to WotC would make it easier for me to stomach. If I got to choose one of those playmats as well then I'd be all in at 60 bucks for sure.

Weird question, but if WotC is donating 30 dollars for every purchase would you be able to claim 30 dollars charitable contribution on US Federal tax forms?
This may be the first Secret Lair I decide to buy.
