How we do the math
- Box price: the deck’s market price where it has real sales; MSRP (labeled) until it does.
- Singles: the market price of every non-basic card in the deck, added up. Basic lands are left out.
- Missing prices are left out and counted, never treated as $0, so the singles total can only be low, not padded.
- The verdict is the one on the deck’s own set page. Want one card? Buy the one card. How we price.
Secret Lair drops get no verdict here; preorders are a different animal. See Secret Lair: buy or skip.
