Reception
Wizards of the Coast received overwhelmingly negative feedback from the player base about the price, the near-total breakdown of the Hasbro site on sale date, the late launch of the product, a message on the Hasbro site saying that the sale had been pushed back to October 4th, being charged multiple times, receiving order confirmations which were then cancelled/rescinded and lack of international shipping. Before the controversy began, their response was that it was an experiment and that they would let the sales speak for themselves.[6][7] They supplied a limited amount of this product to ChannelFireball Events for sale at Grand Prix,[8] but as soon as the issues with the Hasbro site were apparent, all available product for US GP events sold out immediately.
A month after the release, Wizards of the Coast sent out an apology letter due to the technical issues with completing transactions on the website.
