Looks like this is better than Green overall where that had useful stuff it was largely less value with only Sylvan Library and Worldly Tutor propping up the whole thing. Reanimate may not be $20, but it is ~$10. There are 4 cards here at $20 with Deluge, Lilianna, Arena, and Ophiomancer (why is this card that much? Even without a reprint that still seems high) and the cheapest are Sol Ring and Command Tower. On a card flavor standpoint this feels like a home run however the execution could've been better. Commander Collection: Black feels very lackluster compared to Green which got better reprints IMO. Still kinda mad that we missed the boat on another Concordant Crossroads reprint for Commander Collection: Green but I've let it slide on account of much needed reprints for Worldly Tutor and Sylvan Library. So far the only good reprints out of this are Sol Ring, Command Tower, Ophiomancer which hasn't been reprinted before, and Reanimate which was recently reprinted in Jumpstart. Quote from Card Slinger J »Would've been a great opportunity to reprint Imperial Seal, Liliana of the Veil, No Mercy, Exquisite Blood, and Demonic Consultation. Necropotence and Razaketh would have been sweet, although I didn't think Bob got played all that much in EDH. Gisa and Liliana are a little weird though. Eternal Masters), Phyrexian Arena is a staple that hasn't had a reprint since Conspiracy: Take the Crown, and Ophiomancer/Toxic Deluge are just great includes. That said, Reanimate only has one more recent printing than Animate Dead (Ultimate Masters and Jumpstart v. I sort of like the Sol Ring/Command Tower thing only because they're all color-specific art and I find it at least a little cool to rep your favorite color. I'll pick up singles from this one - probably just gisa and liliana. where's animate dead or necromancy or dance of the dead? where is literally anything else? i'm tired of seeing reanimate in every product. but its not necessary to have it AGAIN when things like razaketh, necropotence, and dark confidant all exist and need another reprint sometime. phyrexian arena has a billion printings, its iconic. but hey at least i guess she's finally available in foil? neat? i like the original art much more. but not necessarily in a premium product. I hate that these continue to have sol rings and command towers.
