I appreciated you mentioning the real purpose of the set's production- to expand the audience with AC fans -while many might not care, since this is a more business-y series of videos, it's nice seeing that amount of awareness of the genuine motivations behind the release. You've always made a point of mentioning your critique is not critical for shock value, but from a point of sincerity. Understanding the real reasons for a product's development and release is part of it. I appreciate you striving to always understand the wider context of what's going on in Magic, rather than just resting on your laurels.

Same here. I wanted a commander deck and I thought "well, can't hurt to buy a bundle before buying singles". Ended up walking away with about 110€ in value for my 55€, which is pretty damn great. But that's gonna drop. The Sword of Feast and Famine and Black Market Connections are gonna hold their value, the resr ist absolutely going down. And I still had to pay a lot for all the other cards I needed, including me splurging on a scene-Etio that will definitely drop off hard. Not really worth it financially, I was just fortunate enough to get a kicker out of it anyways.

Im 30 years old now and started playing magic with 12. With around 20 i started to play legacy and really loved the game and the fact there was always a community. In Legacy you had to invest alot of monney but then u could play the same decks for a very long time, perfect for guys like me who love to foil everything out. I even started buying alpha duals. around 3 years ago i quitted and if i watch the products released since then (and also around this time) im really happy i stopped collecting at this time. it dissapoints me so hard how the company try to squeeze out monney from the customers with special cards/sets power creep and so on. still watch your videos because im a big fan. i really hope they find theyre way back to the god old times. sorry for my bad english btw :)

I'm looking forward to the drop. Most of the cards that I'm after already seem pretty cheap after 1-2 days, so hopefully ill be able to pick them all up as singles when i head into my LGS for Bloomburrow prerelease.

Preordered a bundle and starter from my usual LGS and lucked out with two borderless ezios and a sword (my second since a shop i went to for edh gave us early access to packs and i got one for fun then) so i can't complain but definitely not going to be spending anymore on AC packs. May end up picking a playset of tax collectors and one more set of starters since those seem to be maybe usable for modern at some point.

Not to mention the many exclusive cards on the Starter kit, which makes it's more valuable on purpose, even though they're not particularly good.

Can normal foil cards even be called "premium" anymore? My store has something like 25K bulk foils that I use to fill a slot in the $1 repacks I make every month, and I'm still falling behind.

I am a student, so I cant afford to splurge on MTG. I barely managed to scrape together a decent funny deck, and I am happy with it. Since AC is one of my favorite game series, I ended up buying the starter deck, which fits in my budget. Primarily, I bought this because I honestly just really like the art on the cards. Hoping to get my hands on as many showcase cards as possible, so fingers crossed hehe

According to R&D, there just wasn't enough for them to transfer on over to meaningful card designs and reprints. In fact they had to stretch green to second and third pie layers.

I agree with what the Prof says on this product. The main draw is going to be the IP to help draw in newer players. They will as a whole not care about the value of the cards, they will just care for the characters from the series.

I bought the bundle and 2 collector boosters because they were lower price (my LGS charges fair rates). Ended up with a textured foil Ezio. Definitely the outlier, but I’m done with the set except for 5-6 singles I need.

I've played magic once. It was fun but I never got into it. I'm a huge fan of assassin's creed so I got the starter set so I could play with my family. I won't get booster packs because they seem overpriced and I have enough to play with just the starter set so I'm happy

I was really excited for this set and try to build an Ezio deck around the cards (i know is not guaranteed having Ezio on those packs) but now watching this video and having comments from other friends about it, i dont know what to do next, if buying it in a couple of days later or wait at least a month for price droping out and try to get the cards, it is my birthday month and it was going to be my auto gift, now im a little thoughtful about it because i dont want to spend my money and not even get nothing from it.

This set is where I fully embrace the "buy singles" mantra. Handful of great reprints and some commander cards, but otherwise this set doesn't look fun to open. And I like AC but I would have rather they did commander decks than aftermath boosters.

I opened a bit of MH3 and got a couple nice picks but financially... it was a mistake. I just bought two collector boosters for this as they were the last two at the store. I got the foil Scene Art Ezio, Foil Memory Corridor Ezio in one pack and a serialized greek Sokrates. I disappointed the professor but financially...it worked out. It just took all my remaining luck

I bought my bundle and a couple collectors packs for store credit and enjoyed opening the set. I'm going to get flamed for this but I could do without commons moving forward. I like how most everything I opened was usable (I play commander). The price just needs to be lower and the sets need to be a bit larger.
