[@evilmonkey2184]

Honestly, the personal life talk about how you chose not to use pot beside your dad was a stoner, as well as the info that you're now 2 months sober and counting was such a breath of fresh air. I knew you felt it was inappropriate for the channel, but i really loved the insight into sine of your thoughts on things not MTG related. You're an interesting guy, and the personality you bring to things is why I'm here, anyone can open a box of cards or review deck boxes, I'm here for you

This has to be one of my favorite booster box game videos you've ever done Prof. The absurd price to start, the off the cuff and subsequent recurring pot/drugs conversation, the rare insight into your personal life, the editor clearly having a good time. All of it came together for a great viewing experience. Bravo.

[@knowahhestetune8775]

i got mine for $230 at my LGS. While i was opening them they raised the price to $290 and as I left to $300. The lack of MSRP on MTG products is insane.

[@ProfessorDantheScienceMan]

Foundations has an MSRP WOTC brought it back. Collectors packs are $29.99 or an MSRP of a box is $360.

[@justinb2824]

You buying that one box probably caused them to do it. Demand increases price after all!

[@axelbrackeniers5488]

MRSP is there but no one seems to care lol. FOMO is too strong to stop people from buying this

[@Lil_Noot]

Them removing the MSRP in the first place was the biggest mistake they could’ve made. It’s a joke, especially with high end products like the collector boxes. Any cards I want from new sets I’m getting as singles 😂

[@Vanity0666]

Msrp is coming back for sealed products starting in 2025 I believe

[@robertoch8276]

I was going to buy a collector booster of Foundations, right up until I saw the booster box game for the play boosters. Noped right out of that plan real quick. You saved me $300, Prof, and I'll never forget it.

[@mawe8601]

And it's going to get even worse when at least the play boosters (and imho collectors as well) will be reprinted for the next 5 years

[@HollowdTV]

Same here. I had opened like 5-6 booster packs that I bought as loosies at my LGS and 1 fat pack. Hadn’t seen much value at all. Maybe like 3-4 cards over $8. After seeing profs booster box game I was like “oh it’s not just my bad luck, these just have no value”

[@robertoch8276]

@@HollowdTV I had the opposite experience. I had a great haul at prerelease at my LGS. My prerelease packs were basically worth the price of admission, and then I got a doubling season in my prize packs. It's what emboldened me to consider a collector booster box. But seeing Prof's booster box game, I immediately realized that I'd gotten ridiculously lucky, and couldn't expect those results to hold up.

[@jlaw131985]

Yeah, at $300 it was too much. If you get lucky and find something around $220, then maybe just because there can be some fun treatments

[@MrWesternAUS]

1:47, I can't admit it, it's sold out where I live

[@Azeria]

$300 will get you 12 of these packs _or_ 72 jumpstart boosters (three boxes!) which you can actually use to play at game night!

[@MenloMarseilles]

The most bonkers thing about this is that those jumpstart boosters are almost break-even in terms of card value per pack price. A LOT of $10+ pulls for a set where even the rarest card will show up once every 121 packs.

[@Elfenlied8675309]

Are people just really hoping for the anime Llanowar Elves? I mean, it's going to be standard legal for so long, I get it but it's insane to me people pay that high of a premium for anime art lol.

[@Azeria]

@@Elfenlied8675309 The thing is I suspect the fracture foils are expensive because they're going to the kinds of people who get cards graded. Like those cards exist to get Pokemon and Duel Masters (Magic almost leant on the DM team when designing these btw given they work in the same building) and whatever other TCG collectors _into_ Magic collecting, more than they are supposed to be used as game pieces, so Standard legality is probably entirely irrelevant, at least for Llanowar Elves (which is already an iconic card, from Alpha, etc.). Doubling Season is being pushed up by commander players though I'm sure. Even the cheapest fracture foils are expensive, Think Twice is $90 and the cheapest one from DSK is like $55, and that's because these are designed to be the top collectables from the set. Playability matters but it doesn't _really_ matter, I mean who outside of vintage is gonna let anyone shuffle their deck when it has a $1600 playset of Llanowar Elves in it anyway?

[@Azeria]

​@@MenloMarseilles They are coming down now, I think the market's caught onto that. I've been considering building an Evereth deck so I've been tracking that card's price, it was like £22 just a couple weeks ago, it's already down at £14, so I'm guessing that means a lot of the ones closer to the pack price are dipping below it too. Great for singles buyers, less great if you were trying to open value from your boosters.

[@Aodhain616]

Hi Prof, I still watch the booster box game videos, but the reason I like these more is that I like you and hearing you talk over it is much more interesting and entertainging then the pack being opened with just music being played over it. I think you are underselling yourself and that it has zero to do with the contents of the packs.

[@fjzapatap]

Hey Prof, Congrats on the 2 months without alcohol. I know it’s not a problem for you, but it’s a healthy decision nonetheless :)

[@MikhailHudon_ZerithFarron]

Hare Apparent counter was the greatest wrench-to-the-face to wake me up I could have asked for. Good work Editor!

[@Guy-McPerson]

$300. Woo, that's crazy. It feels weird to say a card game is something that's above my means, but here we are. How much exactly are players expected to pay to maintain this as a hobby these days? My friends and I used to do this as school children with our allowance pooled together. Now, opening packs for that hit of nostalgia is something we can't justify on our salaries as adults. What a world.

[@schwaaard]

I'm brand new to Magic. Started playing Arena when it was announced that TESL was shutting down for good in 2025. I liked what I experienced enough to start buying some physical cards, and, thanks to reviews like the ones here and several elsewhere, I decided a good place to start was the aptly named "Starter Collection" for Foundations. I also went a little crazy and splurged on the Foundations Bundle. $110 total on eBay. Seems like a good price for 350 cards plus 12 boosters and a few peripheral bonuses. I've also spent about $90 on singles to replicate my Arena deck in the real world. All that and still well shy of the asking price of this booster pack. EDIT: After seeing the monetary value, I understand the pricing a bit more...but as someone who just wants to play and not invest, I'm glad I went the route I did. Booster sets like this make cents, but they don't make sense--at least for someone like me.

[@lukemaroney2180]

Hey prof, as many people have already said, there’s many reason collector boosters are more fun to watch then play boosters. I just want to put my vote in that category and quickly highlight my major reasons. The biggest one for this set is the higher “peak possibility” with the fundamentally cooler to look at anime art cards / cooler treatments (higher prices) that collector boosters induce innately. Secondly, having multiple rares in each pack also makes it more consistently entertaining instead of one bomb and onto the next pack! I know there’s only 1 slot for anime arts but still, borderless foil doubling seasons are still sick pulls. Higher peak + more consistent = better overall content. Good luck with the booster box game in the future.

[@mr.joshua6818]

Really? Damn.

[@laboratorymaniac7324]

​​@@mr.joshua6818Maybe. The boxes have 6 fewer packs but distributors are charging stores an appropriately discounted amount for the 30-pack boxes, so it comes out to the same price per pack for stores. Whether or not the actual market price reflects that will depend on how aware the consumer base is about the change, and if stores can get away with charging the old price for boxes in the hope that buyers don't notice.

I'm a circadian scientist for my day job. You've probably heard this before, but turning down the lights earlier in the day can help your brain be cued into "sleep is coming." Try 2-3 hours before bed, turning down the brightness on your phone, only dim table lights and limit TV. Even using my laptop the hour before bed disrupts me, but with better environmental light hygiene (and some mindfulness techniques) I have been able to find regular sleep after struggling as long as I can remember.

Brain, loved the unhinged commentary. Grats for you being 2 months sober! Keep being you, Prof. Love you, man!

[@Schteef242]

Since you asked, you've touched on many of the reasons... this is my perspective. 1. The draft/set/play booster boxes don't seem to proc extra boxes anymore... so there is limited curiosity for 'how long can this go'. This stems from the value shift, as you called out. I'm very unlikely to just sit and watch 15-20 mins of cardboard flipping by with some music overlay, its something that is going to be on my second monitor or phone while I'm doing other things. This contrasts with the last time I was super into standard (Innistrad 1 -> Aether Revolt) where when you were cracking those I was super invested, so watching on the side is interesting. Honestly, I don't really engage with the current product Wizards is selling very much anymore... the last was maybe the Doctor Who commander decks? Maybe some secret lair's though I tend to have to pick them up on the secondary market because by the time I learn about them they're gone. I learned about but haven't bought into any MH3, so maybe that counts? There isn't time for me to actually engage with anything since my primary hobby isn't mtg anymore. I love 80's/90's horror and Duskmourn seems like it would catch my attention... but it just seemed to pass without a noise. I wouldn't have turned on (or stayed tuned into) duskmourn because I didn't really know anything about it. I heard way more about Bloomburrow, and then everything seemed to jump straight to Foundations. I caught a little bit about Thunder Junction existing. There's just so much product coming so fast I can't actually learn about it. It's just really overwhelming, so I end up disengaged unless content creators create content about something specifically. I do the card reveals that the people I still watch do so I learn about them sometimes. 2. Since I'm not actively watching the booster box game, I am not using it to learn about the set and I have no other context for what is in the set... thus when the 'money' noise goes off I glance at what is on the screen to see what you got and have absolutely no context as to WHY something is worth that much if it isn't clearly a pushed commander or legacy card. So... it ends up not very exciting even when you hit something worth money. 3. There is something about the power level of the card not being the driver of value but the alternate art/frame/etc that drives the value through the artificial scarcity, which muddies up when something is worth money because its good or because its scarce. Take the... manafoil llanowar elves, its a good card but that that is the chase card tells my short cut brain that foundations isn't a very powerful set.... a 1 mana 1/1 that taps for g vs like a planeswalker or Progenitus. Power creeps a thing, but I don't even think the booster box game would have made a ding at Progenitus being opened so I wouldn't have even caught it was in the set. This isn't your fault by any means... but it's an extension of 1 and 2 that make the regular game less interesting. Comparing with the collector booster box games. This is still consumed on the second monitor (or phone) while I'm doing other things. You eliminate the 'how long can this go' because you have (previously) clearly stated you won't open additional collector boosters even if you get more than the cost. However, since you talk in the collector booster box game 4. I get context in the collector game as to why something is exciting/valuable, and what kind of things we're fishing for. This makes it a lot more interesting to listen to because I can gain some insight and learn about cool/new things in the set with less active participation. This has value and makes it more interesting to click on. While you mentioned preferring to create scripted content in this episode, 5. this is unscripted and we get thoughts from you about both your perspective on magic things and occasionally some insight into you personally. My interest in the collector booster box game skyrocketed on one where you went on a sidebar about mental health, then cut back to realize you'd opened a fetch land and got really excited about that. Seeing your passion and empathy exposed like that is really engaging. 6. I get to live vicariously through you, since I am unlikely to pickup a collector booster box. The only collector boxes I ever picked up were Dominaria: Reunited when Amazon had them for like $90 on black Friday last year. I grab a pack every now and then from my LGS at check out as an impulse buy, but unlikely to ever pickup a box. I get to open one through you though and see all the sweet treatments (or collation issues) and I enjoy that. 7. You guess the prices on the collector game. Its fun to watch you guess or assert what something should be worth and see how close or far off you are. I do that too when I see a card and am often as wrong as you are, which makes this super relatable.

[@jarodsmith3768]

To be honest prof, I don’t usually watch the regular booster box game videos because I care more about your thoughts on the cards as they come up then just the prices of them. I love hearing about your experiences with cards from the past, and your off the cuffs thoughts about life!

The Professor, you always remind me of The Dude in the movie The Big Lebowski, played by Jeff Bridges. He was back in the public eye recently as a White Dude for Harris. I like it that you're straight and sober all along, yet kind of crazy and fun! You're the best MTG podcast personality.

[@Chilipotamus]

They put a 3 pack per day limit on Foundations Collector Boosters at my LGS, they won't even sell full boxes, the demand is wild. To your point about the Llanowar Elves having an extremely cheap and available printing AS WELL as the fancier chase foil is something I really hope Magic continues with in the future. It's one of the things Pokemon does better than Magic, having meta relevant cards in a variety of art treatments means people can put together a functional deck for cheap, then bling it out as they play it and enjoy the deck. Magic needs more of this, imo.

[@ratdoto2148]

I went out on pre-sale weekend, spent $700 on booster boxes (1 collector, 1 play, 1 jumpstart), the starter collection, and a bundle. My total worth in cards according to tcgplayer is $1,150. Technically, I made $450, but I'd have to sell everyone of the 2000+ cards at top value. I'm not selling any, I'm building decks. Also, I only pulled 7 Hare Apparents.

[@TheNorkeKnight]

As someone who did watch the booster box game for foundations because of how much I enjoy the set personally, I much more enjoy the collector unboxings not because of the contents of the package themselves, but because I like hearing you speak. I know it is perhaps not feasible, but maybe doing openings like this for the regular booster box game might garner more interest?

I 100% agree that collector boosters should be draftable, it would probably push me to buy collector boosters (as long as they keep normal draft boosters ofc)

[@xxthevampirate]

I think you're right about cracking collectors vs play boosters. But even if you didnt win I think the 20-30$ worth of loss comes in the enjoyment of cracking packs and that thrill that gambleling gives people and the ~1/3 chance of hitting a fractured foil and winning big. If you compare slot macines at the worst vegas odds this box beat those odds and you have actually a pretty decent chance of winning money.

[@JakeTheMystic]

I don't understand why these prices shot up so much after the prerelease. TCG had them for $200 a box on pre-order, my LGS had them at $200 on pre-order, then by the night of pre-release they were $280 and have inched up to $300 now with every LGS being sold out or limited supply ever since. I just wish they would print more of these boxes over the lifespan of the set. I'm certain they won't, but it's a shame that the price jumped so suddenly that I feel like I missed out. The pull rates on the fracture foils are just as bad as duskmourn, nowhere near as common as the bloomburrow raised foils, but they're not even worth that much more on average. I love bloomburrow because the raised foils were fairly common to pull and I hope to eventually complete the set of them, but fracture foils just seem to unobtainable and none of the LGS around me have ever had any for sale.

I try to catch as many of your videos as possible but I think your Foundations Booster Box Game hit when I was super busy and so many videos hit YT and Socials that it's hard to keep up. I did very much enjoy this video and I appreciate the direct stream of Professor in these types of videos! :)

I bought a foundations collector booster as a Christmas gift for my husband from a seller that I like supporting.

Dear Editor, The Hare Apparent counter was glorious.

For black Friday I spent $300 on a bundle of out of print UFS (which was the name before it became universus) stock. I got; 4 boxes from past sets at 24 packs each, 5 tins that included another 18 packs and three pre-made decks, one 2 player clash deck starter, and one street fighter DLC pack. Overall I think I came out better even though I'm going to just open all of it for retro decks.

I bought a prerelease kit and opened it in the car for car pulls. Got the dragon guy, blasphemous edict, Lilliana, and the promo 7/7 eldrazi. After checking prices it was about $50-60 for those cards alone. Just plain booster packs. I was kinda astounded that I got any value at all.

"they like to [be friends]" that line really got me
