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?

A bit late to the party, but as the other comment said, its clearly because is a popular archtype and it hasn't been reprinted. WotC is known for that kind of stuff, perhaps your firend could choose a different one thats mor on the range you all are okay with.

There is an Izzet Dragons precon that I really like, because it has a goad subtheme and makes for fun table dynamics.

As a final note, where I live you can't find precons for less than 80€ due to taxes
