Where the value sits
The single most valuable card in Political Puppets is Flusterstorm, at $10.55 — 10% of everything the deck is worth. No single card carries this deck — its value is spread across the list.
By singles value it is the 102nd most valuable of the 177 precon decks we price, and the least valuable of the 5 decks in Commander 2011.
This deck has been out of print for years, so shops no longer sell it at its release price. Whatever a sealed copy costs today has moved away from that figure — in one direction or the other — and the comparison above is about what the deck cost when it was on shelves, not what it costs now.
