[@zotha]

This entire video is the best possible example of how stupid pre-order prices for Magic cards are.

[@Voidqll]

yeah srsly i wish i could get early pre orders sheesh

[@dannil9878]

What were those prices?

[@DocShotsPhotography]

Yea that preorder inflation is crazyb

[@DocShotsPhotography]

Yea that preorder inflation is crazy should def have an update to this vid in a month

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, it's absurd.

[@mateuszlenart2186]

Seth, please make a short like two weeks after set release to compare prices

[@MTGGoldfish]

We talk about it at bit at the end, I would guess cards will drop around 60% in the next few weeks, pretty much across the board. I'll try to do a short in a few weeks to revisit it.

[@Unknownnnn7382]

Yeah, looking forward to that but the Serialized on this will go up up up.

[@pw709]

At buylist prices.

[@brianpendleton2674]

Yeah this would be great to see the comparison, maybe even 3 months out as well. Periodic updates on price avg drops.

[@austinlange1410]

I would love to see the price difference, and a short is a great quick way to show it!

[@seoreh3138]

these prices seems so inflated

[@CasualKing21]

Because the set isn't out yet. Prices lower when more packs are opened.

[@jamesfilyawDigginGabe]

Yeah cause this is preorder prices. None of these are going to hold this high of a value. Some of them will certainly be worth a good penny, but this much? No, not likely. Maybe Ulamog.

[@chayadol]

Normally around 5-15% of the card will still hold up or go up in price, but the rest will drop harddddddd. We not even talking like 50% drop here, some drop like 70%. The question is which one will stay and which one will drop.

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, we talk about it at the end. If you compare to Modern Horizons 2 it's likely prices will drop like 60% in the next month or so. It's wild how high the prices are currently.

[@Kryptnyt]

Yeah preorder prices are pretty much a scam on all fronts

[@TransformersBoss]

“We’re opening up $2000 worth of cards!” Wow, so he’s opening 20 booster box… oh, wait.

[@Belsthar]

This man hit me right in the feels and also yes

[@adamflora129]

The way Seth organizes these packs after opening them triggers so much fucking anxiety. I can barely watch lol.

he has the manual dexterity of a pitbull

[@davidmorris6254]

You own none of this, imagine all the valuable cards getting wrecked every day, relax my friend ❤

[@tolerateit13]

Seth not knowing most of the prices and thinking most are jank…

[@MTGGoldfish]

I didn't realize how inflated all of the jank is at the moment, lol. So many cards that will be $1 or $2 in a few weeks are like $7 or $10 today. It's wild. I only wish I could actually sell the cards at current prices.

[@Capt_McNugget]

I personally fucking hate the art. A deer head with a purple background? wtf is going on over there

I was thinking the same thing! But singles should be good. Kinda mad my old cards are just plummeting to no value.

[@florianmazreku3577]

i dont get the collector boosters. i always have more value with normal boosters somehow are there cards you can only get in collectors ?

[@sparkfrog777]

@florianmazreku3577 you can only get the evoke elementals in the collectors and I think some other cards from old MH sets. Also you can only get serialized in collectors

[@marypoppins1373]

Man throw me one of the Esper’s lol

[@lanceolsen7024]

$2000 for 60 packs is insane

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, even for Magic players the cost of this set is insane. We're used to things being stupidly expensive, but $2k for five boxes is something else.

[@MidgarMerc]

Each pack has 4 rares so I guess you can see it like opening 240 packs lol

[@donovangray8949]

@@MidgarMerc not really even standard priced packs can have 3-4 rares in them too. And those boxes are a third the price. This set will tank if value fast sadly. Has a ton of hype and alot of the card will be opened. Market will be flooded causing most of them to crash. Wont be showed if the total price of the set halfs or even quarters within 2 weeks

[@Saphire_Throated_Carpenter_Ant]

@@MidgarMerc Really? That's cool, I remember when each booster pack only had 1 rare. Mythics weren't a thing. I'm just getting back into it.

[@benjaminharding6386]

​@donovangray8949 not true. Play boosters have 60 percent chance of one rare, 37 percent chance of 2 and like 3 percent of 3 or more.

[@raymanator812]

I think it would be interesting to revisit this total in a couple of weeks after prices have some amount of validity. At the moment, the prices are whatever people are posting them for.

[@StahliCell]

The fact you opened six Sixes is just so funny, thanks for the video!

[@mattmoramarco8295]

It amazes me how you're able to touch every single card face with all 10 of your fingers without fail lmao

[@MTGGoldfish]

It's a skill, what can I say? ;)

[@samuelbeall439]

🤣

[@thetrinketmage]

The distribution of these rares and mythics are is so weird. I don't remember the other horizon sets being like that

[@MTGGoldfish]

Yeah, me either, that's one of the things that stood out most about these boxes.

[@aqswd6825]

How so?

[@thetrinketmage]

@@aqswd6825 Just a lot more duplicates than in previous horizon sets. Not just in this vid but other boxes my friend opened

[@puebloescobar7382]

I go 13 mythics out of my Play Booster Box. That was insane. 2 Mythics were duplicates. I had two Ajanis in one deck

[@ryanwilhite]

It seems to me that there are further subsets of rarity within the four rarity levels, even when it comes to the lower rarities. I have tons of some uncommon and common cards, with none of some others. In the 15 packs I've opened, I've only gotten a single writhing chrysalis, while I have 6 or 7 Skoa, Embermages. I wish it was the opposite because I actually want to run writhing chrysalis.

[@CainanHarrison]

How you treat your stacks of cards deals physical damage to me

[@fifthcamel8109]

i was looking for this

[@foxdontplay8496]

I love seeing pack ripping content, something was bothering me and its the *ffft fffft* of the cards edges battling every single pull 😂

What about how he bent the Ajani and bowed it forward from side pressure? I was cringing.

[@void.lawyer]

Poison counters

[@theporkchop7113]

I think it’s perfect 😂

[@christopherealy8025]

New kozilek is actually nuts. In a deck that already has colorless creatures, like eldrazi tron, you don't HAVE to give your opponent the manifest creatures. It's a double anthem for your colorless creatures, and can help push I for damage OR dig for specific answers, giving a bunch of versatility as a big tron creature.

[@09nickdenis]

Shakiest hands in the west 😂. Love the early openings though Seth I clicked this shit so fast. Keep these coming would ya?

[@MTGGoldfish]

Thanks!

[@tcsmagicbox]

Assuming that prices fall by half after the official release, I predict you make exactly $2000 back from these $2000 worth of boxes.

[@AutkastKain]

I love calling the blue Magus "Flood Moon" and you can't stop me

[@MidgarMerc]

They'll do that in MH4

[@maninblk]

Agreed.

[@gragrim]

Holy Pre-Release prices, Batman! I guess looking at prerelease prices help people Cope for actually paying 400 for a box

[@danplath1]

My LGS has boxes for 500$ lmao

[@icrux30]

45:15 that ral is the expensive one (0471 - Textured Foil Borderless)

[@glubgawd7393]

Lmao, I love it, Seth saying box1 didn’t feel absurd as I set here with my eyes bleeding at the pre order single prices 😂😂😂

[@taransnodgress5027]

13:39 each of these boxes is my food budget for thr month. The whole videos worth is considerably more than my rent. I'll be able to do pre-release and a draft or two, but i'm pretty much priced out otherwise

[@ullrich]

I've watched a bunch of these box openings, but I appreciate your commentary more than anything else. I always go to your spoiler vids because of the insight into the mechanics and potential power of each card, and it's cool to see a bit of that brought to the opening process. Hope to see more!

[@ThePurpleGM]

I really enjoyed this video. The prices, although inflated, made the value of the set really pop in a way that was fun to watch. This will come down, but for the time being enjoy those big values and the fun of cracking collector boosters! Also you're right on the new Koz being the weakest, but I like it because it's the only titan that actually works as a sort of lord to your eldrazi.

[@ViralPirate53]

only buying singles and only after the prices drop.

[@Foetoid2k6]

24:35 “We’re doing fine” GTFO you’re killing it 😂😂😂

I couldn't wait! The set is super sweet.

[@Chinahat242]

Hey no worries Seth, I saw you opened a bunch of Polluted Deltas, you can just send me the extras, no need to keep more than one right? ;)

[@Eddyb1e]

26:35 That Sorin (#470) is the textured version as well as the Ral (#471) at 45:13

[@shawnwillbok]

I’m still a strong believer that there are different rarities with in the same rarity. Like I think there are commons that are printed at uncommon levels. So I think there are mythic that are even harder to get than other mythics.

[@chrisbonjour111]

Arena of Glory feels like a great reason to revist your T3 Boar God Kills deck

[@Phelddagrif1998]

Windswept Heath and Collected Company were reprinted in the Magic Origins Clash Pack. It had Honored Hierarch and Dromoka, the Eternal as the alt art foil cards.

[@zynpheargaming]

We definitely need a follow up video in a few weeks when the prices settle down. Make it happen Goldy!!!!

[@eichiboy95]

Watch Seth try to open these packs is driving my anxiety to new heights

Is it because he handles then like an absolute animal and bends them?

[@flipside799]

Man, Messing around on mono green in Arena Brawl with Bristly Bill is so fucking fun. Glad to see more Landfall types.

[@collinbeal]

Bristly Bill seems like a fun commander. My current +1/+1 counters deck is Hamza, Guardian of Arashin, which is also really fun, as you can have some really explosive turns where you play a bunch of creatures. It's not quite Elfball, but it's definitely a creature storm commander.

[@BuddyJackstraw]

The sorting/handling of the cards 😂😂😂

[@todcharlie1168]

It would be cool to see you revisit your box openings to see how prices changes over time, would definitely be a video i would be interested to watch.

[@bamjo9]

I'm really surprised and glad how good is Seth's knowledge of math and statistics. You are partially fighting against lots of disinformation, and you are also making consideration and calculation that are very scientific. What an amazing person.

[@rabidkittens8156]

Please please please do a second review of prices in two weeks to a month. Just to show how insanely crazy fomo prices are. Do the total difference and highlight the biggest changes up or down. Love watching your stuff.

[@vankammenspellcast]

Cant wait to get some of this set!

[@richardmorales4914]

Only buy multiple boxes from the same case unless u pre open one. Because the cards are almost always similar in most of the boxes. It's not always bad either bought 3 eternal masters boxes from the same case. All three had mana crypt, force of will and Jace.

Opening Polluted Delta has traditionally been a good skill to have.

[@maninblk]

@@MTGGoldfish I just cut the tops of the packs off. My old person hands don't have time for that. ;)

[@oneinfinity]

I listened to Mark Rosewater's podcast once when he talked about the design of Future Sight and how they designed Grandeur as a safety valve for drawing too many of your legendary creatures. But the 5 creatures it was printed on were not constructed playable for the most part, and it almost never came up in Limited because they were all rares. I guess the common legend is kind of a reference to that. Since it's a common you can now build around Grandeur in Limited and the mechanic will finally have its moment to shine a little.

[@tylersings1849]

If you get rid of any of those winter moons, I'd love to buy one from you and get you to sign it. My stax decks needs the saffronolive stamp of approval lol

[@dcijluther4015]

Yes. Same video with updated prices. That would be an interesting video.

[@bensteinhauser784]

I won't be buying any. It's so expensive, I don't really want to put in the work to flip the cards for profit, and if I want cards from the set I'll just wait a few weeks and buy singles.

[@dirge51]

The el-a-drami full commit always makes me chuckle. Take THAT society.

[@MostToxicGamingEDH]

You definitely did better than we did! Love the videos bro!

[@zynpheargaming]

I purchased all boxes but the Collector. Plan on getting at least one a few weeks after the pricing settles.

[@SmashPortal]

I'd think Windswept Heath would also be the worst because it doesn't fetch Mystic Sanctuary, doesn't fetch Dwarven Mine, and isn't in black for Bowmasters.

[@Vael221]

Yeah my guess would have been it is the only fetch that isn't in at least one Grixis color, though "there are theoretically more of them for X reason" is a pretty obvious safe guess to cost anomalies.

[@MrMeloff]

Coming from an addicted packhead from back in the day, I found the best way to open packs, scientifically of course. Pull the back tab gently over and over to inflate the pack with air. While the pack is inflated, gently clap your hands together with the pack in between. It will cause the air to burst out of one of the ends of the pack, allowing you to slide the cards out without any bending or damage. Yes, I was once where you were, and trust me, with a lot of effort and help, you too can be free of this addiction. I was an addict for 10 years, and now I'm not. Good luck to anyone reading this. *continues to open hundreds of packs after writing this PSA message*

[@AtriumXP666]

**Every 3 cards** "We didn't get a serialized card..." XD

[@ilind__]

Commenting at 6min in - my guess is maybe 2500$ of value, so around 100$ in value per box above cost. Excited to see how it pans out.

[@Alikaoz]

You should sign those Wheel of Potentials. They'd make cool keepsakes. Edit: The Eladamri-ing will continue until you say his name right.

[@bryantbravo9363]

Seems like Richard bought the case, pulled the serialized Emrakul and gave the rest of the boxes to Seth for a video.

[@2Zangetsu]

You could sac your One ring to crabomination for the discount and so the ring doesn't kill you. Just a thought

[@HobbitCrom]

I think the real old border fetches are so expensive. So it gives us access to them at a cheaper price point.

[@andymakk7154]

With crazy preorder prices I'm guessing the total across 5 boxes will be $3500.

[@Brodysseous]

Because it's Seth i predict $5000 of value, but anyone else loses $1500

[@HeWhoSlayethCain]

I'm really hoping old bordered fetches drop a bit, I need old bordered Bloodstained Mire for my Asmor Hollow One deck, I'm going for a fully retro frame modern deck, and I'm so close.

[@lovesinfinite1]

It was in a modern pre-constructed deck Windswept Heath

[@cdude665]

Using preorder prices to try and find value is pretty dumb. These prices will be cut in half

[@mtgnostalgia]

Windswept Heath was a 1-of in a precon and is thus more affordable than the rest of the fetches.

[@danielgraves13]

[@tokens3988]

duel commander will surely get that winter moon

[@arcon980]

my routine is buy one of those $50ish bundles with 8 packs and some promos of each set, gives me a taste of the set, the nostalgia of crackin packs and hopefully a good card or 2. Beyond that I buy the occasional commander precon, good deals I happen to see or buy singles. However I am going deep on MH3. I have a play booster box, a collector booster box and the eldrazi commander deck on preorder. I might pick up the energy commander deck as well, depending what I hit in the boxes. Both eldrazi and energy are things I would love to build a commander deck around, but energy lacked sheer volume of cards and eldrazi lacked the commander with more than just colorless identity that interested me. MH3 is just a prefect storm to me, the potential to build 2 new decks I am excited for + the fetches to hopefully finish decks I have been working on... and who doesn't like the excitement of potential serialized eldrazi

[@thembosupremepizza1827]

i was waiting until you opened a planar genesis and i didnt notice one until the end of the video

[@SniperGoldfish]

a pack with all 3 eldrazi titans exists somewhere.

[@SmashPortal]

For just about every set, I only play in the prerelease and make no other set purchases. Prerelease pack lets me open 6 packs from the set, which I think is a reasonable limit. That said, this prerelease is going to sting at $60.
