Price of "Draconic Destruction" Precon (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm currently looking at the Starter Commander precons as they were considered budget options for new players and I want to introduce some friends to EDH that are relatively new to the game.

However, when comparing them, the Draconic Destruction precon (Gruul) costs immensely more than the others. I'm located in Europe and there the cheapest option I can find is 70€. The other precons from this set go for around 40€ maximum.

I'm looking at pricings on the Moxfield deck list, but that adds all cards to around 50€. Is there a reason why this deck is so expensive especially considering its set-mates?

Price memory probably. It was expensive because of desirable cards and Dragons being very popular but those cards got reprinted later bringing the actual price of the cards down. The deck never got reprinted so it stayed at the inflated price.

Thanks, that could explain it. But if that's really the cause, it's a serious bummer. The premise of these starter decks sounds really good, but if they aren't produced anymore and some of them get so pricy, they don't help that well...
