Very basic logic here. If you remove commons, and add more uncommons in the pack, uncommons are the commons.

​@@SoLRAace I think they just like to make people believe what few cards they open are more rare than they actually are. As the prebanned common from MH3 showed, Wizards doesn't really look at Pauper much and its up to the Pauper Panel to ban what needs to be banned instead.

Except they didn't add more uncommons. They just removed the commons. That being said, the logic still applies. There are basically only commons rares and mythics in the set.

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 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 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

Really hope to see a review of the starter kit as well. Did buy that as well as the LotR for a mate and I to try magic. He have never played but after watching your commander videos he really wanted to try it out. I havent played since way way wayy back. And really like assassins. So hope to hook other friends with these decks and transition into commander.

I saw on a MTG KZbin channel video that the host called the land slot a "mana fixing slot." Not sure if it was meant to be called that for all boosters, but I stand by what I commented there, which I'm repeating here: they need to get rid of the land slot all together because that land slot isn't "fixing" anything, other then Hasbro giving away too many cards players will actually be using. 10:08 Yes (for me). I'll be playing with them. I plan to build a 5 color commander deck with only (mostly) these cards. As you've said for Secret Lairs, I will be buying this for my personal collection, but the current price doesn't sit well with me. 13:14 👍 Enough said (or emoji'ed) Thank you for the review.

My biggest hope is to see the Beyond Booster box drop below $100 or the Collector Booster box for this set to drop below $150 after the set gets forgotten. Not the biggest fan of every UB release but the assassin archetype fits well with magic imo and i love the idea of playong them in 5-color

I’m doing what I call the “$70 Challenge”, as I saw a bundle priced at 70 at a Walmart recently. I’m going to see how many singles that cash would get me over the bundle. (I might splurge on Kassandra, because I really enjoyed AC:Odyssey.)

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.

I covered the prices of reprints over the last few days on Cardmarket. Sword of Feast and Famine is almost down under ten Euro with the Etched Foil at 32 Euro on a freefall. Even the Textured Foil Ezio Auditore lost 10% of his value just today on prerelease. Without bonus sheets, boxtoppers or heavy broken prints/reprints the set isn´t even worth to buy a pack/box for fun. A MH3 play booster box is cheaper than an ACR collector booster box and contains more packs with more cards of higher value.
