Well, but it appears some segments (eg: stu55) love these reprints a lot. To each his own.

I kinda moved away from yugioh for the same reason, too many reprints flooding the market. However, I don't think its a bad thing as long as the products are focused and not just being made to make a buck

As far as I can tell, the YGO reprints take a $100 card and reprint it as a common, which murders the value of the cards. WOTC isn't quite doing that.

It's not like there's a lack of people clamoring for it though.

Reprints as rares would murder the value of a card, since rares are mostly worthless these days.

Stoneforge says hi.

Also, I forgot where I read this, but I recall someone having done some math and the odds of pulling a given mythic from a small set now is pretty much the same as pulling a given rare from one of the large sets of yore.

The pro players, and the pro wannabees, will spend whatever it takes to get the best cards for their current deck(s). For them, the individual card investment is relatively small compared to the bragging rights (if local) or the possible financial rewards (at the top pro ranks).

For casual players, as noted above, the current multitude of offerings provide pretty nice options, whether playing once a week at a local shop or playing on the kitchen table.

It seems the only ones who lose out are the collectors who have to have one of everything (that would be me, but I'm always 5 years or more behind, and I don't collect sealed product or foreign languages) and some of the "hustlers", who are looking to grab some of the aftermarket markup.

Do you mean the card that has lost half its value since it was reprinted in an event deck?

Yes, but I'm not sure I follow your point. If you're equating an event deck printing to an expansion printing, I don't know that that's entirely fair. Event Decks are about as close as it gets to spamming the market with the card in question, considering they're distributed pretty much as widely as booster boxes and are guaranteed to have (in this case) 2 copies of the card in question for each for only 25.00. Rather than getting 1 or so per box like it was in, say, Worldwake.

The number of event decks printed are far less than the number of booster boxes. If Stoneforge had been reprinted in an expansion as a rare, it would be much less than it is now.

Eh, fair enough.

Typical reanimator targets. Who wants a 6/6 no-evasion land fetch....

All in all though this is the first premium deck ive had any interest in buying. I've always liked reanimator, and most of the fatties can go in my EDH decks (vish kal in particular would like buried alive and foil Iona). Not to mention the reanimating spells themselves.

I'm kind of hoping they take it easy with the entombs, especially if there's only going to be 8 rares. My guess is the primary graveyard fillers will be Buried Alive and Careful Study. Reanimators will be reanimate and exhume, or (fingers crossed) animate dead. As far as targets go, I'd put money on at *least* akroma of wrath, terastodon, and Iona. Maybe sphinx of the steel wind (a guy can dream). And then a few crappy targets, of course.

I think Entomb will be the "key attraction card" in this Graveborn thingy. Its obvious from the introduction wordings that Entomb, Exhume, Reanimate will be in this deck

Does the value take the same hit that Nantuko shade did?

Not as much I would guess, Shade isn't really played in legacy (or even in standard now)...so I wager that the casual players were making it more expensive. Grim Lavamancer is played in legacy, it's price will drop (2nd time it's reprinted) but I imagine it will end up worth 2 bucks if it gets played in standard at least.
