There were quite a few things that made it a "debacle": - $999 for 4 packs of non-playable cards is just a huge turn off to basically everyone, so nobody was excited about this to start - they "soft violated" the reserve list. I don't really care about speculators in general but in the case of magic the "speculators" are often game stores that sell singles and thus are "forced" to be exposed on the long side to the prices of magic cards. My favorite local game store ended up going out of business because they keep reprinting cards and devaluing the inventory of local game stores

>$999 for 4 packs of non-playable cards is just a huge turn off to basically everyone, so nobody was excited about this to start Didn't they sell out instantly? I found the price point dumb as well, but clearly people liked it. Their target was always middle aged members of the middle class, going for rarity made sense. I doubt the set devalued the restricted list much. I guess I knew everything about it and don't see it as a debacle.
