I feel that MH2 is a perfect fit for the most part as it's brought a lot of decks that hadn't been great for a while back (living end, fish etc) and brought in new decks (like food). I agree that Saga and Ragavan are quite good, I just don't know if they'll ever see a ban.
I don't know where I stand on a jitte unban yet but I think twin and pod could be reasonable unbans, as the format has changed quite a bit since they ate a ban. I feel the etb tapped dual artifact lands really made me think what they'll do with the mono colour ones
I think another big problem that prevented stores from opening packs was the whole covid 19 pandemic. People weren't able to play in paper events such as Magic Fests, FNM or the like. So less of a reason to buy cards, which gave stores less of a reason for stores to open packs.
I feel that with many places returning to in store play, sales of cards should (hopefully) increase again. In my opinion there will always be a demand for singles as long as Magic is around, due to there will always be people who would rather just buy the card they need rather than chance opening it in a pack
A lot of the prices are probably due to absurd pre-order prices set now. The set isn't even out in paper yet so prices are gonna be high for a while and will likely drop once more copies are in circulation. cabal coffers has been pretty expensive for quite some time due to its playability in commander. That probably had something to do with its price for the MH2 version
I've been pretty excited for this set but I highly doubt my province will be out of lockdown by then, let alone be able to play in store. I found a pretty good sized group of buddies who I've done webcam prereleases with past 2 sets so I at least have that
