The market is speaking to us now. Dice packs are being bought for $21. All card values have moved up and held considerable multiples. Cards are being rented at significant values.

All of that is being accepted and bought into by the new players.

If $2 packs come out, every single player in the game, from those of us who have been here for 3 years, to the players who have been here 3 days, will be in a for a very jarring few days.

All card prices will get nuked, with betas and weak cards losing over 50% of their values as of today, virtually overnight.

Rentals, of almost all cards will lose demand, and rental prices will tumble, some by 75%, maybe more.

Players will now have a way to cheap of a way to max out a deck, by buying 500-1000 packs, and will rent out the few cards they feel are needed, and those cards will hold in sale price and rental price, as everything else nosedives.

This will leave many of the OG's at a loss for what the heck just happened to all of their collection value, as they were so focused on jockeying to make a few extra bucks on the new edition instead of thinking about the very real effects $2 decks will create, while many of the new players who have pushed up the market will be left feeling they have just been duped.

It will hurt moral and collection growth of our current player base.

This game has leveled up, and none of us expected it to happen so fast, but if we take our current situation for-granted, for nostalgia or greed in championing for $2 packs, it will end up costing all of us a significant amount of value that we have right now.
