What I see is them asking $270 (!!!) for 120 cards. 12 boosters of 10 cards each, for $270 is just insanity to me. Right out of the gate you're spending $2.25 per CARD. The first and last collector booster box I ever opened was for Neon Dynasty and even those 12 packs felt bad given the cost. I remember trying to stretch it out over two days. This feels even worse for the same exact price and I just cannot understand who is paying it.

Collector's Boosters have always felt like a ripoff to me. I was surprised they sold as well as they did. But I guess even a small number of whales dropping a bunch of money on those boosters are enough to make it worthwhile
They call them "Beyond Boosters" because, unlike normal boosters, they're not made from meat.
This set feels rushed both from the design to how they handled release and promotion. [[Bleeding Effect]] hints that very little or no playtesting took place either.
What's the problem with Bleeding Effect? I can't tell from the card alone
The part of the effect that gives reach is only on your turn, so it's useless. It was probably meant to be haste instead. It's a minor thing but still weird to see on a released card
It's a weird edge case, but cards like Dhalsim, Pliable Pacifist can care about reach even on your own turn.
