I think my problem with current card pricing mostly comes from how bad card quality is now, in physical quality, the amount of misprints, and also with how little they are playtesting and counting on players to test the cards for them. Their fire design philosophy of, we'll see what problems come up and then make some bans, that just really doesn't take the place of good playtesting in design. Wizards is way too gun-shy to hit cards that could still sell packs, and the commander committee is way too reliant on rule 0 for everything. Solving problems after the cards are on the market and selling was always a recipe for disaster.
For me, the price of MH3 is not the issue. I absolutely will buy into a good game I can play with friends. It's just that, the last time I bought packs I got one complete pack of misprints that were too dark to read, I have actually paid an extra to get non-foil versions because foils are so bad quality, and the design of cards now leaves the game constantly in a state of, there are cards in the meta that are going to get a ban as soon as they aren't selling packs anymore, and that's so unhealthy for everybody.
By every metric I can think of, the per-card quality has plummeted over the last few years, and it's just like, all the price hikes are a little much to ask, considering.

Said on B/R Deathtouch Destruction...
#1What do you think about Sharpened Pitchfork or some other equip that gives first strike? I feel like you will always have a great target for it, and if you can get it on Isareth the Awakener then you can just swing in pretty free with the classic first strike and deathtouch combo.
Looks like such an awesome deck!
