>>19824454I would've liked to see a different pose of a 3D model AZKi instead of art, the illustrations are never as good in my opinion. The Sora they're using filters me pretty hard, maybe an old picture could've been better...
>>19823279I interpreted
>>19822666 and
>>19823015 as suggesting that one factor that enables Weiss to have cheaper card packs than Magic is the use of cheaper/reused art. My argument is that the assigned price of a Magic product is primarily dictated by the secondary market value of the cards in that pack, whereas the cost of art is only a minor factor. For example, reprint-only packs (0 new art) are typically more expensive than new set packs (200+ new art), simply because they contain cards in demand and are arbitarily assigned "premium" status to explain the increased price. Another example is the direct-to-consumer ordering, where most sets of around 5 cards (5 new art) sell for $30, whereas a set of very in-demand cards (5 new art) had limited availability and were sold for $200+. There was almost no difference between the two products to warrant the price disparity, except for the fact that people were willing to pay $200+ for them.
