zendikar priceless treasures

[Dorian]

The cards will only be in the first run. Personally the odds are so low I don't plan to change my buying habits. Out of the 3 pre-release events I went to there was a total of 4 treasures opened, 1 lions eye diamond, 1 Bayou, 1 Underground Sea, 1 Sol Ring.

How many boosters total were open there?

[Ditto]

I hope to get a black lotus in zendikar

[Twanos]

In all of the main events plus all of the side events there have to have been at least 70-100. probably more

you mean 70-100 boosters packs or boxes?

[Nidorino]

what are the beta cards in zendikar

[Twanos]

boxes.

[Rocket]

yeah 100 booster packs for 3 zendikar prereleases doesnt make sense unless they were very tiny pre-releases

So it had to be boxes

[Goblin2468]

I think the odds are higher then a treasure in 1 in 20 zendikar boxes, maybe its a treasure in 1 in 5 zendikar boxes because I've been hearing of a lot of people pulling them

nah, I think 1 Zendikar treasure card for every 20 boxes sounds about right.

It's all this hype that's causing people to think that the chance of pulling a vintage card is more then it really is.

[Warrior]

has wizards of the coast officially confirmed the exact odds of pulling zendikar treasure from zendikar box

[Ditto]

which vintage cards have been found in zendikar packs so far?

[klicker]

has wizards of the coast officially confirmed the exact odds of pulling zendikar treasure from zendikar box

No, and they probably won't. All this hype is causing people to think that chances to pull the old cards from zendikar are pretty high.

Wizards is not going to step in and say officially that only 1/720 boosters or so have the treasure cards, because they rather have people believe that its higher.

Yeah, if asked Wizards will just say that their official policy is not to disclose card collation and such...

I hope to get zendikar boosters with treasure

[Sphinx]

I know chances are small, but for those comparing the zenikar treasure promotion to a lottery its not the same,

When I buy 10 lottery tickets I either win or lose if I dont win anything then those lottery tickets are not good for anything

but if I buy 10 Zendikar Boosters and I dont pull a treasure card then its not like I dont have anything, I have 150 cards including 10 rare and maybe a mythic and some foils. so even though I did not pull old cards I did not "lose" since I have lotsa cards I can play with.

And Zendikar has some great cards like lotus cobra and the fetchlands and landfall cards and so... its one of the best sets even without the treasure

So yeah the treasure are nice bonus cards but its not like buying lottery tickets its more like buying normally and have a chance to get bonus cards

Good points,

However many people will buy a lot more zendikar booster packs then they originally intended not because they need any more zendikar cards but just to try and get the old power cards

[Sphinx]

But they can still sell those cards they dont need and make some of the money back or maybe even a profit if they had lucky pulls

Although because of people buying excessive boosters, the prices of Zendikar cards will be lower since the market will be flooded and it wont be easy selling cards for profit (Though thats a good thing for most players since theyll be able to get the cards they want for cheaper)

[PuzzleFighter]

So, now that all these P9s are heading into the market, will the price for them overall start to drop? I mean, even at 720 packs/card...there are going to be many many thousands of zendikar packs sold over the these printings. I'm not expecting to pick up a Mox for a mere $50 or anything, but the exorbitant prices being charged these days have got to end up being affected neh?

[TauntingElf]

Yeah I think prices for the out of print cards that are already on the market will drop slightly... am guessing by like around 15-20%?

But we will have to see how many of these "new" out of print show up in the market after zendikar is officially released this week.
