Imagine how much someone would be willing to pay for it.
so they do not waste trees printing more of them;

The commander deck packs are single 100 card decks. Commander being a different variant of the main game, the decks are more expensive and the rules are slightly different. You would need to buy 2 of those to play a game.

Aragon and Arwen, Wed card in this deck is pre-selling for $20 on TCG Player. So... that'll drop in price, haha. Don't buy this product expecting to make money. Maybe 5+ years down the road, but not right away. The market will account for supply and demand, and there will be a lot of supply of this.

But anyways, this isn't really a deal or anything. I think most of their starter decks were in the $10-$12 range so this seems to be the branding tax. You can pre-order and Amazon will drop it to the lowest price it gets to until release and you can cancel it right before if you don't like the cards or other places get it cheaper.
People have been speculating on MTG Universes Beyond line of cards which are franchises from other companies being put on Magic cards. The first real trial run of this was WH40K which sold pretty well for Hasbro. They said they went through 3 reprintings on the Commander Decks (non-foil) and still it was hard to satisfy demand.
Once they stop reprinting speculators think it'll be really difficult for Hasbro to make more or reprint the cards because of licensing issues. But probably not this starter deck since it probably won't have that many valuable cards.
Note: I'm not a competitive player and only play for fun so take my advice with a grain of salt. I usually build my decks around a gimmick/theme like an elf deck or goblin deck. I don't care how good or bad it is so long as I have fun. Though sometimes even those can be powerful like a squirrel deck could get out of hand lol
