It's Wizards fault that people are down on some of these products. If they want to release something new every other month, folks (and their money) will move on very quickly now to something better and "shiny-er" that has spoilers already available. Wizards has trained us to keep hanging on to their train as it speeds along. How in the world did they think that "Double Feature" would be a thing, when they didn't leave enough space to let it marinate (among other issues).

Another problem for both Crimson Vow and Midnight Hunt... the premium products are depressed in value because of Double Feature. Most Standard sets will decrease in value when you throw in more premium options/sets/boxes. So you just naturally have some cannibalism of the collector boxes when people prefer and/or buy Double Feature instead.

Te set is beautiful...but the vampires bombed (blood tokens + nerf versions of Edgar and Anje), so did "cleave", the spirits are ok but don't make up for the vampires bombing...and best cards in the set end up being the zombie and werewolf cards- which were the prior sets tribes. The Dracula cards should have been a secret lair, they re-printed Thalia instead of giving us a new version or story- and you are correct, they need to cut down the amount of variants...especially variants of cards that aren't even that good. (Box Topper...uncommons? Why bother?) I don't think it is the worst set ever, but I think w/out the full art and dual lands in the set it might have been...I dunno, the "vampire wedding party" ended up being more silly than fun.

I've found Innistrad 3 to be the most enjoyable and best designed of the visits to this setting. I think there's a lot of burn out. They crammed an extra full set into 2021, and they've flooded the market with variant frames to the point where I think it's just exhausting to keep up with buying all this crap. Flashy variants aren't special anymore; it's just devolved into being a cardboard cacophony.

Midnight hunt looks really good by comparison to vow. Everyone involved received a net negative on crimson. The bombs are too pushed, the jank is too janky, and blood and flip cards are not fun to play with or against, they're just mechanical emulators for smoothing out draft winrates below 50%. They didn't absolutely annihilate standard and modern with a forced, late, ban for the first time in years, but shadows and eldritch moon were much better than people give fair credit for. Regular innistrad block draft is very solved, and I hated it in standard because of Delver.

Leave it to rudy to cry about getting no mythics and then totally skip the first one 😅
@danhostetler14232 жыл бұрын
Yeah these packs are over priced for the current value of the set. The First box mythic value was $90-100, on a $170 box at the time the video was uploaded based on TCG market pricing. Second box was even worse at about $65 with that massive $1 commander mythic in the last pack. So mythics alone won't save a box opening. The rares top out at $10 for the Hullbreaker Horror and some of the land cycles. The Borderless Ninas doesn't even break $5 so the box topper and the pulls barely add up to 1 pack's price. It doesn't make much sense anymore to have a box topper that is a readily printed card that you can pull from the collector booster packs. Because all it does is increase the supply of those cards and decrease their value. If you aren't opening the packs in the first week of release and selling the massive print runs on these alternate premium foil versions experience an exponential decay in most of those cards values. So each box is a significant loss with the price of the boxes even dropping from the MTG store on Amazon charging $194 a box. Yes print quality has been pretty hit or miss with WotC the last couple years. Zendikar Rizing box toppers had a good chance coming chipped on the bottom out of the pack, Kaldheim cards had improperly cut and chipped edges, I've seen roller lines in both Midnight Hunt and Crimson Vow foils along with Adventures Forgotten Realms art cards just in passing and not looking for flaws intently. So if I was a collector looking for gradable cards it's not a great time to invest in new cards. Right now it looks like WotC has lost the plot on rarity in MTG. It was about 1:9 packs had a mythic instead of a rare, each pack had 1 rare, 3 uncommon and 11 common. So there was an actual printed number ratio and difference in the number of cards from common, uncommon, rare, mythic. But now for this set you can buy a crimson vow commander deck that has 5 mythics and 40 rares in it that many are reprints from the set and every deck has them. The market is flooded with cards variations so player demand is low compared to supply and because the value is low collectors aren't investing in collecting because the value isn't there and it's almost a cyclical spiral of devaluation until the set goes out of print and the product dries up on the primary market. A cards power and utility will increase demand only until the players that want to play it have acquired it. Then it is left to collectors that want to collect or invest. Which is where we see that initial 1-2 week high valuation to massive drop off and hosing of value. It's almost like an example of what the diamond market would be if De Beers didn't control the market and supply. If they keep the trickle of supply the price stays high, but if they flood the market the price bottom out. I also keep going back to the Halo 2 Collector Edition fiasco where it sold somewhere around 3 times the standard edition number so when people were going to trade it in for Halo 3 they got less money for it than the standard edition because the "limited edition" was more common. Funny how real world economics keeps proving the economics textbooks right, huh?
