    $54 for a bundle has finally pushed me out of all sealed product purchasing. The $40 bundles were the last thing I was buying, mainly for the oversized dice, but this is too much. I can buy the dice on ebay I guess.

      Yeah they’ve been ratcheting it up it looks like, I just checked the price of a Duskmourn bundle and MSRP is $51 (thought they’re selling for $42 still). Crazy.

      I too had purchased these things for the slight discount on packs and the oversized dice. To move that to the premium bundle is sad yet unsurprising. Also never going to be buying these again unfortunately.

    Have we gone back down to 2 Commander decks? That seems more sustainable than the constant 4-5 each set. Also thank goodness we finally get a Temur energy commander. Mummies is surprising for the other one, I would have thought Vehicles for sure

      I’m not sure either but I would love for them to go back to 2 for the same reason. Way more manageable.

      Really looking forward to the energy one!

        As these precons are themed after the two returning planes (and IIRC Maro said in his blog that the “vanilla matters” of Muraganda is quite difficult to design for nowadays), it probably will be dependant on the set in question. I can see 5 precons for the Tarkir set, for example.

        But yeah, 2 per set is much more feasible and hopefully the main way forward. The only downside I see is that you can’t play a full precon pod with one set.
