"buy singles" is especially true where i live where a set box goes for $170 and a draft box goes for $160. if you buy a box here, you're not expecting to break even. you do it because you love the set and want a bunch of cards from it.

This set has the same problem as New Capenna for me: Stunning art in a setting I am deeply interested in, on a collection of cards I probably won't play. Thankfully the Merfolk precon alleviates that for me somewhat. I feel like they're the most flavorfully and mechanically rich of the four decks, and the showcase versions of the legendary merfolk have me blown away. I will probably have to shell out a pretty penny for that showcase Kumena from the secret lair once it's in sellers' hands.

It's one of the most fun draft environments I've ever had the pleasure of playing in a LONG time!!! Also, the reprints are so wild! Resplendant Angel! Gishath!! Even Growing Rites!!!!! There's so many incredible reprints, so many cool new card designs, the set overall is just such a fun one!! Also has our first free sac outlet in the command zone for Orzhov, and at 2 mana!!!! It even has good merfolk support. This set is firing on all cylinders for me, and damn do I love it. 10/10, out of the park hit. If I had the money to buy a box I would - not for the purpose of making profit or such, but just to have a whole bunch of these cool cards (or ideally get a draft in!)

My one box for this set might have been the most deflating MTG experience I've ever had.

Cool land art or no, I feel genuinely ripped off, and that's coming from someone who does not open a set booster box expecting to break even (monetarily).

I'm pretty sure hardly anyone who buys booster boxes just to open them thinks they're going to break even or pull that one card that makes them a profit. You buy them for the fun of it, just how you go see a movie in the theater, spend a night out with friends eating fancy food or having a few drinks in a bar, it's all just 'wasted money' for quick dopamine hits, that's all there really is to life. Which of course doesn't mean you should spend all of your money solely on these things and then struggling to make ends meet. As long as you have disposable income to throw at stuff, who gives a flying fuck man, everyone knows they're not getting good value out of opening packs. And for people like me there's also another component to it: I simply don't like buying singles because I don't feel like these cards belong to me. That connection, for me personally, comes from being the first person to rip these cards out of the pack, as stupid as it may sound. Because that also means that I know these cards are coming out in mint/new-mint condition whereas with stuff you buy from someone else online, you can never be sure.

When the Professor opens the packs, why are the rares the first cards that show up (on top of the stack)? When I open Set Boosters, the rare cards are at the bottom 🤔 Highly confused.. Edit: I see that he flips the whole stack around. BUT, here in Europe, the art card is also the top card, but then all the rest of the cards are face up, so you work yourself from the commons up to the good cards without ever having to flip any cards to the front side (in the EN boosters as well). Does anyone know why the boosters in this video seem to be doing it the opposite way?

Thank you for absolutely dissuading me from purchasing a set booster box. There are at least 12 cards in this set going for over $10 and at least 18 going for over $5, yet with 2 boxes you were unable to get enough of them to make the box worthwhile, even including FOIL treatments, variants and The List cards. It used to be that I could buy a set booster box and be guaranteed at least to get a good portion of the set, but now with all the BS cards that’s not even realistic. Add to that the quality of some of The List cards reprinted with recent sets and it makes total sense that you couldn’t get more than half the value from the second box. I must admit that I am curious to see what the new booster boxes do for the game but I can’t say that I am going to be rushing into buying boxes ever again.

It's never been a good idea to try to crack boxes for value, but since masterpieces, it's become more obvious that unless you pull the chase cards, you're really not lucking out.

I've never had such good value for a booster box before let alone a collector booster box like I did with Ixalan. I pulled a foil neon green mana crypt. Even without it the value was higher than the price of the box for money and value for my decks and trades. Got to say much unlike WOE which is a good set but there was never much gain from the set outside of buying singles. Plus the opening of the boosters in Ixalan are much more fun I found. Commander decks are seriously fun too and again much better than WOE. So I feel like WOC might be onto a good prosperous run for collectors. With so many reprints this year and value for commander pre cons also on the up. Let's hope the momentum carries on through to the next sets and they don't take many steps backwards.

LOL i had to pause and rewind a few seconds because my dirty mind thought one of the cards said freeboner but it was freebooter :P

I’ve been watching your channel for years now, just wanted to say it finally sank in this year, buy singles, not sealed

sets great but the cost versus value is underwhelming.....i remember when you used to get value from a set now most chase cards might break 25 30 dollars?

You should also make a threshold if a card goes over the Costa of a booster pack❤

You know, it used to be when I heard the *cha-ching*, I could look over from what I was doing, read the card quickly and think whether or not the price made sense. Now that each card has a paragraph of text, I can't do that anymore😢

I will have to compare my pulls with yours. I feel bad because you got so few gods.

The cheapest draft box I could find was $130 and $140 for set. At least at the game shops where I live.

Unfortunately my lgs no longer sell singles. Last year someone broke in and stole all the mtg singles they had
