I really wish they'd use a different method.

11 Magic cards found where the card types include “planeswalker” and (the card is available on Paper) and (the set is “blb” or the set is “blc”)
Of the 11 new printings of planeswalkers, 4 are in the Commander precons, 1 is normally collectible from the set, and the other 6 have the commander set symbol but aren't in the decks.
This means that if you wanted a chance to pull them yourself from packs, you must be opening collectors boosters as they are the only ones with a slot for commander cards.
It feels so scummy of them to not use special guest slot for cards like this. It's not the first time, and it doesn't only affect the planeswalkers. There are some rather pricy rats (marrow gnawer and Ink eyes) also secluded from standard pull tables this way.
Anyone know when this started? I noticed it a year or so back when there was a green commander set card, but no green commander deck, but I cannot recall the card or set.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you want a specific card, buy that card.
Well yes, that's how it's done these days with these pull rates. Those cards are going to be significantly rarer than they have any right to be.
Why is Ral fine to be in the normal set but all the rest aren't? Why couldn't they just make some other set symbol for those cards that still only show up in collectors? it will be less confusing down the road.
Hell, outlaws of thunder junction had 4 separate set symbols throughout it not counting list and special guest. Two main with an elusive third doesn't seem like it'd be all that taxing.
