I correctly predicted Fatal Push would be in one of the decks, so I sold out, but what I didn’t predict was it would only be as a 1x. This took me by surprise, because it’s an uncommon. WotC likes to pretend they don’t acknowledge the secondary market, yet aren’t they doing just that by having it at 1x? This card should have been a 3x-4x.

It would not surprise me to see that happen, given them backing off of Master sets
