I will be buying it for sure even though I never intend to play the game.-Saemar

If you want to get spare free Garruks your best bet is just asking XBLA gamers with no interest in playing paper MTG for their codes. But yeah, between this and Lilliana vs. Garruk, I have a long-term price target on Garruk at around $7. Like I said in another post, if you want to ride a planeswalker to trading victory, take a hard look at Jace Beleren.

The game is obviously an advertising piece to get folks into real Magic, not something that the company is going to make money on as a standalone. There's no way they'll price this at $35 and get anyone who doesn't already play Magic to pick it up.

I don't understand why they'd undercut the value of one of the premier Magic cards to this extent. One possible reason is to draw smaller kids into Magic but I fear this strategy will be unsuccessful. Personally, I believe that it is just a rumour.-Saemar

We're a lazy bunch and if you Venn the groups of XBOX players and Magic players intent on getting Garruk, I don't know if you get a whole lot in the middle. Jitte was above the $10 that Rat's Nest precon cost (even though lots of stores jacked it up (Meijer did not (thanks Meijer!))).-Doug
