I know that between the end of year reviews and just general Wotc mistakes, it seems like everyone wants the negative and cynical content from you but this was a breath of fresh air. Hell even made me comment and I normally don't! This just couldn't not be written down. Thank you for the review, it was very helpful. I would very much like to get the elf deck but your insistence on the foretell one has me interested in at least trying it somehow.

Hello, Professor. I hope I can bring a smile to you today. I have been viewing your You-tube offerings, as well as a few others for a while now. My introduction to Magic: The Gathering goes as far back as yours, to wit, 4th Edition/Revised/Fallen Empires. A friend of mine was able to interest me in the game. Out in our area, there was not a large following of the game. We were self-taught, read tomes and manuals, and tried a variety of things to increase our game group, eventually teaching my sons the Game (one, the older, still plays and has far surpassed his mentor). As the years progressed, my friend and I put the decks aside, as people of our era were apt to do. What generation, you may ask? Well, I'm not quite as old as dirt, but from my crib I survived my first hard news story, the assassination of the president, in newborn bliss. Around the time of Lorwyn, my son reintroduced me to the game through a wonderful gentleman who was starting his own local game store. Unfortunately, my friend was still focused on the plane of Earth and did not get back into things. Fast-forward to a few weeks ago, and my friend called and asked if I still played. My interest has ebbed and flowed throughout the years but I still dabble. My specialty is kitchen table Magic, and bringing new players to the game. He was ready to return to Dominaria or whatever plane I was currently visiting. He had but two asks, first that I temper my desire to win (which is nice, but I can still enjoy not winning)while bringing him up to speed, and two, were there any books or literature that he could peruse to begin to relearn the game. The LGS has long since disappeared, and the owner has passed his spark to the Multiverse due to complications of poor health, so a local resource other than my son, myself and a few long-term kitchen table mages who are that is left. Thankfully, though, I have been following you in the Community College at Tolaria. It was a no-brainer for me to recommend all of your content, including the Tolarian Tutor. As a brief aside, you are much better and more knowledgeable than even the Demonic Tutor of game fame. We had set up a date and time to begin playing again, when he asked about a strange "new" concept of play called commander. After explaining the Commander/Elder Dragon Highlander connection, I also recommended to him to Game Knights and Command Zone channels, just from the enjoyment and enthusiasm you have shown on your too infrequent appearances along side of Josh Lee Kwai and Jimmy Wong. You have had a great and positive influence on his return, and we are looking toward trying to gather some interest in the Commander format in the future. So, kudos, Professor, for all that you have done for all of us who play, and feel free to mention the extension of these kudos to Josh and Jimmy. This is getting a bit long, so I shall leave you with a hearty Live Long and Prosper, sir, for the good things that you have done for the many far outweigh the any negative opinions of the few or even the one. Thank you.

Real talk, These were just a blast. I feel like wizards heard us, on ALL FRONTS but the lands base, but I feel as though we can trust wizards a little bit. Criticize the business and hasbro all you want, Wizards still is trying to make magic fun, and its both endearing and exactly where I feel as though they may be on a better streak. HOWEVER: BUYERS BEWARE: as with all early kaldheim products, I have found these cards having a pre-opened bend/bubble, and the card quality is not exactly up to snuff. Sleeve up these decks fast, or you will see pringling happening rather fast.

I went ahead and bought these before your video came out knowing I would use several of the cards even if the rest of the deck wasn't fun. I'm so glad I did! I had no expectation they would be worth this much!! It's nice to hear you enjoy upgrading the precons, that makes me feel a lot better about struggling to make a deck from scratch! I don't know if you're doing something different with your hair but it looks great!! Keep up the great work, Professor! Edit: I can't wait to watch your booster box video for kaldhiem! My friend and I bought booster boxes to support the local game store (they don't sell singles, there's not much else we can do) and he opened 7 mythics! I'm really glad for the alternative art cards because it seems to lower the price of the normal versions making it cheaper for my friends and I to buy the singles we want.

Professor, I think it was you that told us to make sure to watch all the videos to the end for KZbin algorithm stuff or something. In any case, my way of doing that is to let the video play and then go down to the comments. What a surprise to have to scroll up again when I heard you talking at the end of the video while smiling/posing. Of course, then I was smiling too all the way til' the end. 😀

They had shocklands in them they were actually a bargain. I got them at the "msrp" which was 20$. Watery grave itself is 15$ and the esper one had that AND it had lot's of good stuff as well like smothering tithe??

@@irou95 I was going to say, in retrospect, the Esper one at RRP turned out to be superb value: you basically bought a discounted Tithe and ended up with a free shock land, Signet and 57 other cards.

I preordered these decks for 70€ /pack of 4. Considering the prices of shocklands and signet at that point in time, it was clearly a steal at that price point. Nowhere near the 2019 commander preconstructed decks with their gates and 1hp gain tap lands for 40€/piece.
