I'm a little confused by this new set that Wizards is releasing this month-ish. A little upset even. It's an 18 regular card and 10 oversize card set designed for Commander. For those who don't know, here's a little background on what Commander is. 

The older generation know it as EDH or Elder Dragon Highlander. The decks are made up of 100 unique cards minus the basic lands. 99 cards are you deck and 1 is your commander. He will sit outside of the deck, ready to be cast at any point while you draw through your 99 unique card deck. Why do I call it a casual deck? It can be fairly cheap especially compared to other formats like Standard or Legacy. I really enjoy commander since it allows me to use the most random or seemingly useless and unplayable rares that I've collected over the years.

Anyway, with that out of the way, back to the Arsenal. Wizards has created a set of cards that are classics or staples in commander decks. Awesome. Great. Where do I sign up? The problem though is the selection of cards are actually super common and not even that rare. If you are already into Commander, you probably have those cards already. Half of them were from the original decks or the recently released planechase sets. So when I saw this, I immediately wondered, "Oh, this is like a supplement for the casuals. They may have missed out on some of these cards or they didn't to do what some did and buy whole sets just for 1 or 2 cards in the set. Wizards, you are genius!" But then I see the price point is $80 and find out it's not carried by regular brick and mortar shops and only at gaming stores. When that happens, the prices will more than likely shoot up to way past their msrp ($299 on Amazon as of this posting) The same happens with the From the Vault sets ($80 for the newest set that msrps for $35). Why you do this Wizards? Why aim a product for a casual format at the hardest of the hardcore? To me, Commander is the format you should use to attract attention. Games don't end it 3 turns (usually) and ridiculous scenarios always come up. This format is the for fun, casual type and this set should have been for them.
