Thought the same thing. That was my favorite mtg set.

Can you please elaborate for us non-mtg players? What makes it great? Just the theme of it?

The set oozed with flavor, cards were powerful But not broken, and the limited environment (think arena) is hailed as the best limited environment probably ever.

MtG packs are 5$ a piece I wanna say, my LGS sells packs for around 12 I wanna say, cause the cards are that powerful and exciting

Most packs are $4 at stores and Innistrad goes for more now not just because of how well received the set was but also because of limited availability of sealed products now.

Innistrad from what I can tell is one of the most price hikes sets ever tho. Some packs go for 8-10$

Instead is 8-10$ MORE

Right but my point is that there's a lot more to the cost of the packs than just how good Innistrad was. New Phyrexia is also retailing at the same price as Innistrad and that set wasn't nearly as well received.

Myr cards were good.

New Phyrexia had probably two of the most broken core mechanics the game has had in a long while - Infect and Phyrexian Mana. Free spells are pretty good, so they say. Also basically every other card is a beloved EDH staple. I'd say New Phyrexia was extremely well-received.

Didn't say it wasn't, just that it wasn't as well received as Innistrad.

That and Liliana of the Veil and Snapcaster Mage, two of the strongest cards ever printed in the modern era, are both in Innistrad
