$999 for a box of legacy staples and even some of the power nine cards like [[black lotus]]. They are not tournament legal making them, functionally, no different from a proxied card.

*Edit:** it is actually $999 for 4 booster packs with a CHANCE of getting one of the legacy stapes. No guarentees.

I used that announcement and the related pro-proxy discussions to get unbanned from r/magictcg. I mentioned proxies 3 years ago and was banned with no warning, now multiple people are saying they are pro-proxy and you'd be a fool to not get your Chinese printed proxies

Tempted to Mock up $1k order and post it to show players what 1k worth of proxies would look like.

Wizards is so bad at their job that we have to make their products for them.

call me crazy but, feels like this product is what they will use to come after the proxy community. I just cant shake the feeling.

I'm probably just done with WotC, if I want a commander deck I'll just proxy the whole thing at this point

I’m really considering putting in an order for a playset of 30A proxies through MPC. I’m sure it’ll cost less than the millions of dollars pulling it will be

60 RANDOM proxies.

Upsides of all this:

1. I will never need to ask random pods if they're good with proxies since WotC is selling them

2. I get to laugh at idiots who get a Thoughtlace or Animate wall in their $250 packs

3. More players are looking in on proxies, including creators, which is awesome.
