Jumping in to defend the decision to put playable unique cards in armory decks. I don't think it's just a way to extract money out of existing players. The deck needs to be reasonably competitive out of the box, and I think the new equipment and cards served that purpose without asking the new player to go out and spend money on L equipment. Can't put expensive L equipment or high numbers of expensive M's in the armory deck or they'll just get arbitraged and none will be left on the shelf when a new player comes in. If you make a deck of all reprints with lower rarity equipment then no existing players will buy them. They'll sit on store shelves for long periods of time and become a liquidity sink. This will discourage stores from supporting the product line and you'll have a dead product. It would also be hard to make something reasonably competitive out of the box. The ideal armory deck product is something that is reasonably playable out of the box, will sell at least SOME percentage within the first few weeks so retailers will support them, but that there will be some product left on the shelf for new players as they trickle in to the game. That seems like an incredibly hard balance and I think the unique cards was required to pull it off. Ultimately, I think this has been the best onboarding product that LSS has created yet and I think it's unfair to portray it as a money grab. P.S. Love the pod. look forward to it every week.
San Diego has many stores but depending on where you end up living, armories can be inconsistent. But Southern California is huge and has tons of players and AGE
We also call it "Would you rather" in the States. It might be a regional based difference. I'm from the East Coast. Maybe out West they call it "This or That"
My issue with the early staples is their price. If a deck runs C&C and E-Strike/AoW, you're immediately looking at over $300. I worry that's off-putting to people eyeing the game, who might bounce before they understand the nuances.

You know what, you dont want to buy all these first strike decks. Buy the singles. There is an order of magnitude difference between them and mtg. Also new market pandering is how games expand.

In the UK "This or that" is called "Would you rather" which seems a bit of a better name/term for it imo :P
