Is It Worth It To Buy Modern Horizons 2? A Magic: The Gathering Booster Box Review

[@JustABrokenToy]

It really can't be reiterated enough that if you're looking for specific cards, just buy $279 worth of singles rather than gamble on a box. that said, it's possible (as evidenced by the boost box game) to open above EV, and you can open cards you didn't know you wanted. but as the professor states, it's still a gamble. unless what you're looking for is a playset of a multiple valuable mythics (which you're statistically unlikely to randomly open, virtually 0%), more than likely you can buy the singles you want and have money to spare. save that for buying more singles from the next set, or splurge and spend it on interesting cards that don't have a home in your decks just yet.

[@robbartz4825]

Ahhh but how would I ever get that playset of scion of Draco if I didn't buy a box? Yeah ... I had great mythic pulls 😂

[@wolfchampion7335]

I got a draft booster to play with my friends this afternoon at my LGS, I hope I pull some goodies, but the draft experience is what drives me to getting this set.

[@GeneralEcstasy]

I just got 3 collector boosters from my job. I pulled some goodies. I got a full art hunger tide and a full art of the cook who has a long ass name. ☠

[@wolfchampion7335]

Best box I ever opened. I got 2 ravagan (1 normal and 1 alt art), 3 fetchlands + 1 foil etched old border misty rainforest, 1 of each walker, 3 cabal coffers (1 regular, 1 alt art, 1 etched foil), 1 urza's saga, 1 imperial recruiter, 1 subtlety and then a few rares in the $2-$10 range, although prices in those are very likely to drop. And it was a blast to draft! I played some BR madness pile with a delirium sub-theme splashing blue and we all had a great time.

[@TheKaijudist]

It's an absolutely phenomenal draft set

[@Its-Lulu]

I love how the singles have plummeted in price 😁

[@AbyssArray]

Yep, I know for me, I didn't realize there was potential for more than 1 rare per pack for draft boosters, so normal frame cards versions of cards can definitely help people that want copies of these cards

Makes you feel any better I went to 2 pre-releases and pulled nothing (albeit the pre-release prices were way cheaper than other people have been saying theirs was), ended up just buying all the singles today I needed (including voidwalker and recruiter) for about 50 bucks along with a traded fetch. Prof is always right, buy singles lol.

[@guilhermecosta27]

Don't remember that...

[@cellard00rz]

I think it's really important to note that if you're cash-strapped and debating buying a box, and need fetches, they will inevitably rise in price, whereas many of the other singles that seem snazzy and needed in this set will go back down, so make sure you get your fetches first! Cheers

[@thechestrockfield]

Yeah, people whine about the Fetches all the time, then don't take advantage when they have the chance. I was buying Khans Fetches under $10 in the months after release. Scooped up a couple hundred of them. Strike while the iron's hot people. When these drop to $10-15 I'm going to do it again, too.

[@avenger1212]

I disagree. If it's too expensive to actually play anymore, nobody wins. I can buy some singles, but I can't enjoy opening a box and drafting for fun because I can't afford the box anymore. If this is setting a "what people are willing to pay" precedence that carries forward into their more regular offerings, it's going to push me and many other players out of Magic. Magic may be becoming for the rich for real now.

[@user-ko8pu5wu4l]

Still cheaper than double masters

[@Morrodin182]

I feel you man. I don't think there is any valid reason why a box of MH2 should cost more than a regular set. The costs for WotC are the same. Not only that but it feels to me that MH2 is also squeezed between two releases (Strixhaven and D&D) and thus that sets are coming too fast one after the other. Also the fact that we have too many special versions of cards feels bad imho. If everything is special then well ... nothing is special anymore right?

[@ej4667]

I've already stopped buying cards packs and singles. It's just not worth it to me anymore

[@SplashAttackTCG]

You should do these a week after the general public has access to collector packs and get a chance to put their stuff on the secondary market to normalize. Prices atm are still free falling and have not stabilized yet.

[@johnrobertson1]

Excellent evaluation. I am frequently frustrated by reviews (of all sorts of products) which fail to separate cost from quality and treat the entirety of the review as a cost/benefit analysis, rather than a review of the product, on its own, and then, separately, of the cost in relation. It’s impossible for a reviewer to ascertain the relative impact of the cost of a product on a prospective buyer (everyone’s financial situation is different), so having the two in isolation is crucial for a consumer to make an informed decision. Well done as always, Prof.

[@sdawg35]

This is the 1st set where I am definitely just going after singles. As much as I love cracking packs with friends in a draft or sealed this is just out of our budget.

[@laynegrey2003]

I plan to buy one or two packs, then never touch MH2 again except for singles. Normal Standard sets I buy a pack every so often, but this set? Nah, man.

[@norwegianblue2017]

Everyone should refuse to buy this kind of horribly overpriced product.

[@mrstizzle9049]

A lot of it is lgs's gouging you

[@frsk6460]

i mean it depends they have to buy them from wizards right? so if we knew what they paid we knew what the baseline prize would be. if those then get like 30-50% profit margin we can probably say that they overprice them but seeing prices go as low as 200$ right now i would say they overprized it HEAVILY on most LGSs or marketplaces

[@mrstizzle9049]

Commander collections green was available at my Lgs for $80 while the professor was complaining that it was $150. The reason there is no msrp is to allow Lgs to price sealed product like singles. To allow the "market" to dictate the price. I very much doubt the price from wotc or the distributors varies, at least to this degree.

[@loonar7960]

I mean, I'm getting my set box from a local retail chain for $220. They do tend to sell very close to cost admittedly. But if your LGS is selling to you for upwards of $250 or more they are absolutely gouging you.

[@JosipK93lk]

This product is amazing in respect to the cards included. However, as someone who lives in a small country and earns a couple hundred dollars a month, it's only going to be "opened" on my screen :)

[@veganermetzger1234]

Singles are still doable on budget. I've built commander decks for 10 USD that can stand their own against higher power decks.

[@stampthelamp]

Love your videos. I bought two boxes. One draft and one set. I will crack open the set box and will keep the draft box sealed for my collection. I do buy singles when I want certain things, but the fun of cracking packs with my kids is too fun to pass up. Even if we don't get our value back, the fun is part of the value in my opinion. Good luck to everyone cracking packs this weekend!

My lgs gave out a promo from a previous set because he didn’t know what else to do. It was still a fun event to do the prerelease, and I opened an esper sentinel which was amazing. I just wish WOTC would recognize it costs the exact same to print these cards as it does any other.

The 3 fetches alone paid back for the $380 box cash. I totaled just all the rares/mythics using TCGPlayer (lowest price) and total was $1122. So happy! :D

[@TheIrishJackel]

"Everybody wins" Except limited players. I'm glad singles prices are decreasing for constructed players, but drafts that cost double or more what they normally cost drive people away. We don't draft to gamble, we draft to play, and the cost of play for these sets are prohibitive. It feels like a case of identity crisis. Why design the set to be drafted and then price it so high that it drives limited players away? I personally feel it would be better to either lower the price or just do away with the attempt to make these reprint sets draftable.

[@georgiopapakonstantinou1580]

Glad to see your evaluation =) I did buy a Set Booster ($265) and I bought; honestly, purely for trade value down the road. I am almost done rebuilding a good binder of tradable cards and view MH2 as the end point of that journey. Outside of a set here or there MH2 is likely the end of me building a trade binder through sets. If I buy a Draft or Set box in the future it will be because I like a lot of what I see in terms of design or style (Kaldheim as the most recent example). Thanks for your quality videos... always watch them =)

Hey, Prof! Are you going to do a review of the new “All-Natural, Totally Refreshing” Secret Lair? Jen Bartel is my favorite comic artist and I’m sorely tempted by her artwork, but there’s also the Praetors… I’d love to hear your take on whether the release is worth shelling out for. Should I keep an eye out for that before ordering?

[@davidruff4826]

100% agree with your analysis. I did end up buying a booster box and a set box, just to have one for draft and the other to crack packs, but originally I had several more on order. I canceled those and bought the singles I needed, which ended up being less than the overall cost of the set booster box where I guarantee I wouldn't have gotten the singles I needed for my decks (I already have a set for fetch lands). As much fun as cracking packs are, buying singles is the way to go when the price creeps up this high. Also the set is super nice in terms of design. Lots of cards to upgrade my decks. I think Kaldheim is the best set in terms of new commander decks (I've built so many after that set came out), but there are a lot of good cards being printed here.

It's great that cards that my friends and I want to play with and build decks around are now more affordable, which should lead to more fun games between our play group.

Superb review. I bought some singles already & will continue to do so!!!

[@larshundtm2385]

I feel like the value in the singles of this set comes from the fact that the product is so expensive. Imagine if Eldraine was priced at $8-$10 a pack, it would probably have similar singles prices to this set. There is no legitimate reason why it has to be this expensive other than WotC saying “we can get away with it, so why not?” Its also very disappointing that their response to people saying they are priced out of the game is “maybe this game isn’t for you.” I’d say its time to attack these types of business moves with our wallets, but after seeing how effective that was with TWD i’ve honestly lost all hope. I’ve played this game for more than half my life and seeing the company that made my favorite escape from reality turning it into a product only the whales get to play is heartbreaking.

Thanks Proff! Another great video. Crazy to see the prices already get cut like ~40-50% since prerelease weekend, but you can't have so many cards in the set over $40. I'll be saving any booster boxes I get for eventual draft, but I do, in general, enjoy opening set boosters for value. It also makes me feel less like I'm losing value, from not drafting with the cards, plus I think I've usually got more than 36 rares and less draft chaff. I do want to try making a commander deck out of a set box, I think LRR did that for strixhaven, and it worked out fairly well.

People have such a weird prescriptivist attitude with this stuff. When Magic first came out, drafting didn’t exist.

Only later (recently!) did wotc decide to create the notion of draft boosters! You absolutely *can* draft using set boosters, you just need a higher quantity of boosters, and the gameplay and balance might be different, but it is absolutely a viable way to play limited.

I bought the missing two Verdant Catacombs and Arid Mesas because paying 100 bucks for all of them is great! Buy singles!!!

[@Sarcodes]

Thanks, Professor, I bought the singles I wanted, I didn't bet on the chance of getting a special treatment art, but I'm happy, those singles will make my commander decks way better

[@woebegone_kenobi]

Almost paid 12dollars for a borderless Thrasta, waited until today and paid 5 lmao

[@bluepomegranate]

I dropped $50 on a prerelease kit and pulled a misty rainforest, Urza's saga, and a Ragavan. Couldn't believe my luck when I checked the prices

[@Stoneager]

This set is just so expensive.

[@jamesgratz4771]

It’s almost 300 a box man lmao idk about spending that much at once for cardboard

[@technole]

This product is not for you

[@jamesgratz4771]

@@technole what an a**hole 😂

[@JoeSmith-oy3hk]

Luckily the rest of modern is super cheap to play.

[@robbiestrong-morse730]

As much as I hate the price I can't lie that as a more budget commander player, fetches and cabal coffers getting reprints is bliss. It was just 2 months ago when cabal coffers was 100 bucks. Also can't wait to get the new sword in my brago deck once prices go down.

Despite the economic it's still wise to invest in cryptocurrency

[@Frostgiantbutsmall]

Piss off, bot.

[@lewan5975]

Stocks are good but i swapped and invested in forex, Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency. I have been making good profits.

[@anita4067]

Wow Great that's called diversifying a portfolio

[@casinolord2876]

Yes investing in Forex and Crypto is profiting

[@mattrobert6005]

I've been holding most stocks like TELSA , AAL but the crash are inevitable 🙁

[@marcospc7872]

Great video as always, professor! In truth, I don't even know why I follow MTG-related stuff anymore. I feel as I have been priced out of MTG for some years now. Nowadays, I just play Pauper and Commander with my friends because it's the only thing we can afford without shelling out a ludicrous and unreasonable amount of money.

[@David-uc6sg]

Bought my edh singles. Foil Retro of the 6 Fetches, Dauthi Voidwalker and Force of Negation. Also Stetch Foil Urzas Saga and Esper Sentinel.

[@andrewhoffman1087]

Just used my TCGPLAYER in-store credit to pick up the fetch lands I've been wanting. Finally can foil out that second commander deck.

[@panzaggg]

I was having a hangover because I but the set booster (haven't arrived) and now I'm feel a little bit better with my buy! Thanks Prof!

[@Nitemice]

I bought a prerelease kit, even though I'm not going to get a change to do a proper prerelease, ostensibly to "practice" sealed, but mainly just as a way of getting a few packs to fill that "rip wrappers" craving without diving in too far.

[@moltenironphoenix215]

Double masters already had a collector booster, and you can still do draft and sealed with set boosters if you open your mind to fun

[@miguelgmail8605]

Prof you are awesome, keep up the great work! Btw I watched you on Take off your shoes, it made me appreciate and like you even more than I already did. I truly hope you realize what an amazing human being you are and how many of us would love to be your friend.

[@thrillhouse4151]

This set really made me _fetch_ my wallet. My dream singles for this set are Cabal Coffers and Misty Rainforest, both reprints. It felt like a dream seeing those new prices even if they are still expensive.

[@beecherry3943]

I got a prerealese kit pulled 2 fetch lands and my stamped promo was the new delver dragon needless to say it was lovely

[@RAM9042]

My favorite hero is batman. At time I was young, I watched the animated series. I enjoyed the art style and the hero ( not having any super power and his sense of justice). When I grew older, my perspective of the super hero had changed. The hero was much complex. The villains and the characters were also complex (their problems, their dreams and the triggers that changed them). In which I enjoyed not only the hero, but also the universe of batman. By the way, thanks for theses honest videos. Keep up the amazing work.

[@rafaelebolivar]

Looking sharp and cutting to the quick with great discussion as usual. Loved the review, thanks for the hard work on this.

[@justinb9583]

Hi Prof! Long time fan. You have helped me so much through the years. When I was a new player I had no idea what to do and I appreciate and value your opinion so much! Thank you for all that you do

[@Lewberry]

As a new player, I haven't stopped watching your videos since introduced from Rick Glassman. I know I'm going to be a a player that is hooked for life. Thanks for the content, and keeping players like me, well informed!

[@TheTatekei]

I opened 40 rares / mythics (including foils) in my set booster. Prof is on point.you'll get over 30 rares for sure.

[@darrinsisneros8953]

I have opened 2 set booster boxes and have also seen several friends open 8 boxes amongst them. The set booster boxes have averaged ~47.5 rates/mythics per box. The lowest was 41 and the highest was 52.

[@bahyurur6792]

I had an absolute blast playing at my lgs for the pre-release, and then spent about 200 dollars buying the singles I really wanted for the decks I play. I even got the cool frame treatments I wanted! What a great set, spent about as much as a single box and got everything I wanted.

[@Scopesightzx]

A set booster box felt like a regular box of a master's set this time, similar price with the same amount of cards. I didn't get any fetches from packs of MM17, but I opened all five plus a foil Arid Mesa from this box. It was pretty insane

[@LostdogCl]

Hey prof! I want to share this with you: i bought a set booster box and a prerelease set (just for the sake of cracking packs open, sorry to dissapoint you). The quality of the cardboard came to my attention, being of a slightly superior quality than previous sets, particularly the cards in the prerelease kit, being thicker and smoother (almost with a waxy feel at touch). Maybe you could ask in other communities if they perceived the same as me. Cheers!

[@Levi66604]

A well designed and informative video, as always. I look forward to your content more than most. Thank you. My favorite super hero? I have to say I am a big fan of Iron Man. I love his origin story and some of the arcs in his story are epic. My favorite being the extremis story. The struggle he has with himself about the harm he's caused and the difference he is or isn't making is enthralling to me.
