[@leeland245607]

I “love” how with this set play boosters have essentially gone back to draft packs, with the lowering of odds for the extra rares, while still keeping an inflated play booster price. Not to mention the fact that pre release kits went up in price again too.

[@fredget]

It‘s an absolute disgrace almost nobody is talking about. Makes me loose faith in the magic community. As soon as they published all the changes to play boosters there should have been videos from the big channels discussing how WotC f‘s the players over and over again but people kept quiet. I mean OTJ was a little inflated but you should at least have chances similar to set boosters when you‘re paying this price. WotC just implemented an aggressive price spike while people even „love“ them for it (-> Bloomburrow). The perfect example for a distraction with pretty colors and fancy artworks.

[@ironpalmmonk1199]

@@fredget Yeah, called it the same with the debut in MKM. EV per box is going to be lower now because these are just draft boxes now. You should be playing limited with these instead of cracking for fun. By all means if you have the cash to do it and want to crack for fun then do it! Have fun! But more so than ever you shouldn't expect to hit anything big. I think that is by design as Wotc probably wants to push folks into CB boxes instead. Tinfoil hat thoughts probably.

[@notsaved]

classic unbundling & rebundling product over a few years to operate a massive price hike to sell the same stuff for 30% more. At least the market doesn't seem to support it, as prices for Play Booster boxes have slowly gone down from MKM through OTJ to Bloomburrow. This should cost $100 at most

[@albert1013s]

Ouch, Bloomburrow definitely a set to buy the singles for & not boosters

[@PatataMaxtex]

Every set is, but this even more. But sealed is great so buying booster for some nice draft or pre-release (but after the release) sounds good for me aswell

[@3n3rgy90]

The thing is booster boxes were at 70 not even that long ago. The booster boxes get more expensive, but the singles don't.

[@dimitriid]

What gets me is that these are basically almost exactly the same as draft boosters, except priced higher for no good reason: Took WotC less than 6 months to forget all about their promises of how play boosters would give you the same rate of rares than set boosters overall if you spend the same and as predicted, it is not only just a price increase now but since set boosters are not available, just a wedge to drive people to buy incredibly overpriced collectors now for *a small chance* (something like 1 in every 36 collector boosters or 3-4 collector boxes at least) at something like a raised foil version or actually getting a decent amount of rares and/or cards that hold any value. And before anyone mentions it, Standard players used to get these exact rates on draft boosters so they're also paying more for absolutely no reason. The rates are *insulting* on Bloowburrow play boosters and I'm officially done purchasing any sealed products since I refuse to be forced into a product I don't want: I refuse to start buying collector boxes.

[@chrisf9156]

Kind of wonder if the popularity has just made this apparent faster than some of the other sets. Prereleases sold out near me, so would imagine there are more card in circulation faster than with other sets. So we're seeing the month in prices a week in.

[@StephenWSanders]

The delta between how much fun this set is to draft and how low value the cards are is huge.

[@CodyEngel]

Opened a box yesterday and I found myself reading through the cards but also having that feeling of "wow this was not worth the money". The cards are amazing, love the set, but it feels like WotC created play boosters just so they could raise the price of draft boosters without making it super obvious. Wish these things were still in the $100 range.

[@themoops4006]

this is exactly what they did, it was just a price hike

[@Muhahahahaz]

I’m genuinely curious as to the exact argument you’re making… Considering that WOTC very famously does not set an MSRP, and the booster boxes prices are set primarily by market demand, how exactly did they “raise prices”?

[@Greg501-]

@@Muhahahahaz They literally sell the boxes to stores and distributors for some price, so of course they've raised it on play boosters compared to draft boosters to get more profits for Hasbro.

[@themoops4006]

@@Muhahahahaz they raised the prices they charge stores to buy boxes so the stores have to sell the boxes for more. the secondary market dictates the ceiling not the floor. they had MSRP for their products until a few years ago and i'm not sure what you think dropping it has to do with whether or not prices have gone up.

[@DraggaRyuu]

@@Muhahahahaz They don't list MSRP entirely so they can get people like you going "Technically, they never said what the prices are." Not even trying to be offensive, that's the genuine tactic they've been going for here. They know the intended MSRP and I assume retailers know as well, and we're seeing nothing but price increases despite there being nothing to justify those increases. Even on the financial value element, they made sure to lower the odds of pulling Special Guests or The List cards, while shunting all the Imagine Critters into being exclusively in the Collector Booster Boxes, and then making sure their alt arts are only available as the super limited raised foil to further incentivize people spending more and more on overall less. Keep in mind, too, that the number of cards in a pack has dropped by 1. You're paying more for less and that's all WotC and Hasbro care about.

[@thriftypsgr]

This is a testament to how a set can be amazing and at the same time have little monetary value. They did a great job with the lore, the artwork, and the presentation of the set. Also, the playability of the set is really good.

[@BigDaddyWes]

My box went up in value 20% since this video was released. Worth noting that these prices shown in the video are before release and prices change once demand is actually established.

At first I was kinda upset at how little money you were making back but it also occurred to me that therefore, the majority of the set’s singles are very cheap. I am happy with it.

[@splitloopgaming3523]

then they playboosters should be priced accordingly, what sort of cope excuse is this? if they put $3 worth of shit in a play booster on average, then they should be worth $3.

[@DoABarrelRol1l]

More people opening packs for drafts than other past sets (of all time? I feel this is the best set ever made to be honest) means more supply of singles. But I got $50 bucks of value from $30 prerelease so I can't complain

[@gpwaltz]

Sometimes WotC publishes pull rates for Play Boosters on their "Collecting" articles...but they didn't with BLB. My theory is that they knew the rates for "booster fun" were so low, that presenting the numbers would just be bleak.

At this point, there are so many sets that come out now that Prof doesn't ever stop playing the booster box game

[@Dools1217]

This was the first set I ever bought a box for, I knew I wouldn't make my money back by any means, but I also knew this set was going to be a good one and had a lot of community hype around it so i thought "why not? If this is supposed to be a great set, I'm sure I'll get some cool and hopefully one or two valubles." i was pretty disappointed afterwards, but hey, you live and you learn, I suppose. Back to singles for the foreseeable future.

Bloomburrow feels like the set that's addressing a lot of problems people have had for a while. The power level feels a little lower which is great because we've been complaining about power creep, and people have been complaining about the focus on Commander for a long time and Bloomburrow feels amazing for Standard. It's a great set, really feels like what Magic needed right now.

[@ArCSelkie37]

Maybe i'm a dumbass, but that isn't really the fault of the set itself... considering the singles/second hand market technically has nothing to do with WotC. Unless they start printing just absolutely nuts cards for a particular format that is.

[@koid]

​@@ArCSelkie37but it kinda does, wotc decides what will be reprinted and often times doesnt reprint cards so the second hard market will have higher prices but thats not what the point of this comment was, its that the price:market value ratio is wayy too low

[@bernardosanchez3401]

that's what happens when you release a set every single month, your standard format can't progress naturally so only very few cards from every set ends up in meta decks and everything else becomes bulk.

[@hermodnitter3902]

Also, if you get a rare that is worth anything, it will be reprinted 10 times the next two years, reducing it to pennies worth...

God I love Bloomburrow so much, I'm gonna draft this set until my eyes burn and then go back to my cave and not think about Magic until the next set that I like comes out 😁

[@justinkopy3354]

Draft for this is set is so, so awesome. You are really encouraged to stay in your lane once you've found it, but since everyone is likely doing the same, you end up with these sweet highly synergistic decks. Some may find it a little prescriptive, but I have an absolute blast seeing what these little guys can do when they work together.

[@Muhahahahaz]

I’ve only been doing Sealed so far (mostly on Arena, though I did go to one physical prerelease), and even then it’s amazing I think my favorites so far have just been mini-value engines that tip the scales in my favor when the board state stalls out in the late game For instance, in one game I was playing a White/Green deck, and I had Whiskervale Forerunner + Innkeeper’s Talent out in the late game, and just kept putting free 2-3 mana creatures into play until they conceded lol (The latter is a class that puts a +1/+1 counter on one of your creatures at the beginning of your combat, whereas the former has Valiant and looks at your top 5 cards for a 3 drop or less. If it’s your turn, you may put it directly on the battlefield. Otherwise, it goes to your hand Long story short, just keep targeting Whiskervale Forerunner with Innkeeper’s Talent to trigger Valiant every turn)

[@BlueGriffin20]

The good news is that most of the value is tied to the alternate art anime style or some of the commander cards. The basic and even some alt art versions are relatively cheap. The bad news is that means there’s barely any double digit value in the play boosters. You got more or less the top end cards with Three Tree and Innkeeper. It would be nice to see play booster boxes to lower in price to be more affordable, but each set will have different highs and lows depending on what’s in the set… (Kinda remind me how everything is cheap for the base versions of Pokémon cards, but the special art is high high price.)

[@jamesblanchard1578]

[@johnbaer13]

Since Friday I have gotten 3 box sets as a gift to myself for some recent achievements. First time I ever purchased box sets. I bought the first two together then the 3rd separately. The first one I cracked open was definitely the anomaly, had Sword of Fire and Ice, Three Tree City, all the high priced and desirable cards. I was hyped to see what the second box had to offer. It had much less excitement than the first box did, but still a half-decent haul. I bought the 3rd one, thinking the 2nd box I bought might just be a lemon box, when the 3rd was the absolute worst out of the three. Ultimately, I knew the risks of buying Booster Boxes because overall, the system is rigged, but I truthfully bought the boxes with the sole idea of simply enjoying the pack-cracking. That little bit of adrenaline when you defy the odds and pull a great card is nice. I now have a handful of commander-worthy cards and plenty of Bloomburrow Rares, UC's, and Commons to make a couple low-end decks. But yes, do not ever buy booster boxes hoping for a profit. Buy singles. Edit: Also, I bought all of these from my local card store, so each had a hefty markup. Even so, and the boxes did not hold up to the purchase, I feel like I supported my local card shop, so I feel pretty good about my purchase at the end of the day.

Idk I liked lci the most in recent times.

[@Thesetwoaces]

I know nobody's gonna see this but having my favorite set (Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty) be profs pick for previous best set makes me unreasonably happy

[@JusticeJanitor]

I'd watch a video titled "Bloomburrow is the best set ever" I love confirming my biases!

[@end_phase2749]

I always love the positivity and the flair you bring to each video Prof. You’re truly a bright shining light of positivity

[@Glizzygoblin-]

Maybe if standard existed in a healthy way there would be more demand for these cards

[@carrigster]

The music eased the pain, much like having a chilled playlist while having teeth removed. Lovely set but sheesh. Also is there a channel music playlist anywhere, would love to check out more recommended artists!

[@MadHatter91]

Ohhhh was filmed on my birthday nice 👍

[@kalemroseland7973]

Thought I had a bad box but now I get it. My best pulls were rottenmouth and lumra. couple other neat cards I can use but not worth the money of the box

[@EisOfSpades7]

My lgs has bloomburrow boxes for $160 and collectors for $260

[@FrostOblivion]

Same it's so bad. I pay weiss schwarz as well and they charge 90 a box. Most are only 60 on release.

[@xChikyx]

iiisssshhhhh 😣 don't pay that

[@OvAeons]

So glad i managed to scrounge an innkeepers talent before people realized it is just 2 enchants in one and you get a counter doubler in the end on top of cheap protection. LGS is 30 CAD now. The filming must have been a day before spike

[@Xinhuan02]

He does mention the date to be Aug 2 when filmed at the start of the video.

[@greggsplaylist]

With play boosters it pretty much Three Tree City or bust.

[@rumpt1549]

Regardless of actual card value, the inclusion of ALL full art lands made me feel like I was opening more playables than ever before. Amazing decision WotC, please keep it up in the future!

[@splitloopgaming3523]

lmao, a couple full art lands offsets the pricing being 3-5 times the value of the cards? the cope in this video is real. wotc should not be praised for this. Fun set, yes. Criminal pricing and we should be pissed.

[@deadizbetter]

The prices will go up over time. Just need more card synergy and tribal in the future

[@splitloopgaming3523]

doubt. a couple cards? yea maybe, but not enough to offset this dogshit pricing of play boosters.

[@deadizbetter]

@@splitloopgaming3523 I said more. Not a couple. You pulled that part outta your ass

[@MrShawnshall]

Looks like the value in those boxes were wheel burrowed away😂

[@einfachConny]

you could try to name the Bloomburrow video something negative about the other sets or something like "why modern magic sets are bad" or something but the video ist just about why Blommburrow rules

[@xxPenjoxx]

Bloomburrow is definitely the best set. Love it ❤

[@corsosrarebooksandcollecti562]

I've been playing Magic for 30 years, and from an EV standpoint, this set has the worst boxes I've ever opened. Lost 80% of my money.

[@shawnminer4355]

That's why you buy singles

[@BroncosDaBomb19]

It doesn’t help that since so many people are into this set, even the cards that should be more expensive are cheap because of the massive amount of them getting pulled.

[@alexthefae]

Its not an investment its a card game

[@FiddleMiA]

You bought a childrens card game and lost money? Oh no…

[@tuongpham7609]

@@alexthefae Except it is an investment. This is also a collectible card game. Almost everything is an investment. This set is just a bad one.

[@JamesOrr81]

Yo, I watch positive videos. Do what you want Prof. You're the man.

[@alexandercandicedad1355]

Pleasantly surprised to see a vanilla booster box game! As much as I enjoyed the Professors Stream of Consciousness videos, the return to tradition is refreshing!

[@Jorrywoodmen]

Here I bought a booster box. I am now a little less excited for it to come tomorrow xD

[@stevz420]

Mine come in Saturday I cannot wait still. Need some doubles to make some cohesive decks so I'll be happy just on volume alone

[@Jorrywoodmen]

@@stevz420 TRUE! in Same boat

[@stuartbaxter-potter8363]

What's terrible news for cracking packs for value is excellent news for my plans to build a set cube out of Bloomburrow!

[@deanquitowitz3808]

Thanks for these videos. Your enthusiasm really got me into magic. Really been enjoying commander format. And your deck building videos were extremely helpful as a new player I'm happy to say I've made 2 fully functional decks because of your help never owned a precon a little too pricey for where I stay. So I just wanted to say thanks and keep up the amazing work.

[@jerensteinbear]

Hard to believe the boxes are so expensive yet the individual cards are so cheap, especially for a set that people seem to like so much. Glad I only buy singles.

[@cmt1633]

Would love a PDH episode of shuffle up and play. Please Prof ❤🥺

[@BigNonsense]

I'd really like your bloomburrow praise video! My play group and I - for how excited we were - aren't as enthused by the set from a draft experience anyway. We love the additions to commander and standard

[@jaggedtoothgrin]

I love your positive videos and I love bloomburrow. I would watch an I love bloomburrow video in a heatbeat I'm only watching this video because I love bloomburrow and I wanna hear you talk about it!

[@daemonslayer59able]

I just wanna say along with the rest of the content, I was really enjoying the jams in this video.

[@zanyzachboy]

Watching a video like this make me wish for a world before collector boosters and Project Booster Fun

[@oxpolitik]

Amazing what happens without a bonus sheet (or two or three).

[@Skrippy33]

Did you just play the booster box game for Dragons Maze? Holy moly,

[@sfquigle]

Love to see the Prof do a box of that sub-product dumpster fire thing they're selling at Walmarts (whatever that crap is called). Can't imagine him not exploding.

[@stuart1745]

Yeah my 2 boxes were about the same... But I love these little guys and the all full art land, yes please!

[@GenerusCrow]

I'd watch an episode called "Bloomburrow is the best set ever" for what it's worth

[@rubbertoe4278]

I mean this in the nicest way but I am glad someone like you got that first box so you can showcase it and stop so many on tight budgets not go out and spend a large sum on these boxes! As a newcomer to magic, if I bought that box I would have been very deterred to keep up the hobby. That felt like a daylight robbery! The pull rates seem so low and there is no guaranteed pull rates, is this what it is always like with this product?

[@mopanda81]

it's interesting how many of these cards are actually worth more 3 weeks later than at release. I total things out to about $79 right now if we only count things worth more than a dollar. Maybe it was the theme of the set or just the subtle power of the cards that had people skeptical and that's why they were only "discovered" after people got the chance to play with them.

[@Flyboy245]

Please do a video of why bloomburrow is a good set. I’m not just here for the negativity. I enjoy your perspective and take on all things magic, good and bad

[@Sweetguy1821]

I pulled a raised foil in the one collector's booster box i bought. That one card alone paid for the box with interest. For value, the playboosters are only for draft.

[@BBQblackbear.]

Glad we have such an affordable set for beginners and veterans to enjoy without breaking the bank, honestly refreshing after stuff like MH3.
