[@jamesstewart8663]

Honestly sounds really cool. Sadly I won't be in Vegas at the time, but I expect the event to be a hoot!

[@sheanstanks]

Can't wait! 😁

[@pr0fess0rbadass]

WotC has just been handed management of EDH ☠️☠️☠️

[@jackhemsworth7515]

got told signed card is one time only, so i'm not sure about maintaining at that level if there's not much call for it

[@gonzalogarcia312]

I didn't buy this, but I did buy the 50 dollar bundle and a collector booster box, and I'm happy with my pulls. I got a lot of insanely fun cool pulls, and I even got the promo Merfolk card Professor showed off previously!! I'm excited to play Arabella commander decklist or try my hand on cheesy wins with Winter plus doomsday demon for 6 black mana via deckout.

[@trident042]

Let's be honest, at this point it's pretty evident Play Boosters (and probably even the Draft/Set booster split ahead of time) was all just an excuse to up booster prices instead of just idly blaming inflation.

[@beetledrift]

oh yeah, that was clear from the beginning. Set boosters were fun, but these.. It's just draft boosters but actually worse.

[@ned8896]

This is if I ever buy a booster box, it will be one of the older ones. Perhaps DnD or Baldur's Gate

[@LoneBerseker]

Ofcourse, not to mention the removal of deck boxes in bundles. Pay more, get less.

[@magic_claw]

Yup. It was juiced for a couple of sets with bonus sheets but that went away with BLB and definitely with DSK.

[@ocirMZ]

I heard a lot that game stores where just sitting on their draft boosters. I believe them when they say they had to consolidate them because set boosters were killing draft. But I also believe they took that opportunity and milked it for as much as they could

[@janelantestaverde2018]

Have to say, you opening packs while just talking to the camera off the top of your head has become my favourite kind of pack opening videos that you make. Of course, this wouldn't work with a box of play boosters as it already takes some time to go through them even without that, but just take this as encouragement to make more of those pack opening videos (when you want to make them, that is).

[@joeferreti9442]

Honestly, booster boxes should not cost more than $100 with 36 packs each with 14-15 cards. And there should be a token in every pack. There is no reason that mass-produced cards cost as much as WotC overcharges those boxes.

[@P3RDT0]

MSRP of Play Booster Boxes should be $99.95 Play Boosters should have 20 cards - Guaranteed tokens, basic lands, Art Series cards should go to an Art Series Booster

[@Sammo212]

love the videos but will admit I prefer those where you talk over the unboxings.

[@DeiselsFaded]

real

[@TrevHolland]

I'm not even sure that's prof doing the unboxing in this video. :P Sometimes, the hand looks suspiciously not like Prof's.

[@Gimmicgaming]

I love the casual conversation. I really enjoy listening to the prof talk in the background.

[@mearcstapa]

Scandal!​@@TrevHolland

[@puzzlejinx]

There's nothing to say about this terrible set for this dead game

[@Binary_Bee_]

I used to love hearing the Professor talk about his feelings about the set over these videos. Always felt like having a nice chat with a friends whilst you open packs together.

[@broomman5221]

Thank you Prof for continuing to open boxes for us over the years as prices keep going up and the value down lol. I know there's a million box break channels out there but for some reason yours have always been more pleasant to listen and watch. thank you and the team for the years of content!

[@Giordie_]

Idk, lately watching box breaks of new mtg stuff just makes me want to watch the old frames ones

[@Sagaratnl]

I hope the next "Tolarian Winds" that will have a spicy discussion about booster boxes and prices, will be named "Tolarian up-draft" for the occasion!

[@tremner3501]

Lol Financial Value on a standard set....Oh Prof another another video proving your comedic genius.

[@vampirica11]

I was very happy when they introduced Set Boosters, fun and varied and didn't contain as much commons. Play Boosters are just slightly different Draft Boosters for more money. I gave them a chance, but I also gave up on them. WotC had my money with Set Boosters, now they've screwed it up again!

[@MLadyAzzera]

Thank you for making this video! Especially as a new paper player, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what you got and if you ended up getting your money's worth.

[@SoulisStar]

“Box number 2(3)”. Was perfect. Lol. I’m still chuckling to myself. Well played

[@guildmarm1859]

I had my first ever draft yesterday because of the effort you put into your draft guides. It was absolutely fantastic

Buy Singles

[@Hadri_ART]

Not fun for a yt vid and not informative about this expansion s worth

[@Hadri_ART]

@@pretzelsaregood57 everyone knows that it s better to buy singles if you wanna build a deck or collect some cards. It s not worth at all to buy card packs, they are full of rubbish, it s just cool to unpack them. Still this video makes sense tho

[@normified]

@@Hadri_ART the whole point of these videos is to prove the point of "buy singles"

[@Hadri_ART]

​@@normified That s already obvious for everyone older than 5 yo, this video has the purpose of make you see the video for a long time, because this is KZbin and algorythm need this. I never said that someone shouldn t buy singles

[@ShouTan]

The sad part is in the north where money might as well be monopoly currency a play booster is $220cad before taxes. Even with currency conversions there is a steep markup.

[@jaywinner328]

Damn, you're right. That's about 160 USD. Singles may have less of a gap though.

[@Blue_Narciss]

@@jaywinner328 Which is still less than retail stores are charging for this product. Foundations will be at your LGS for $170, hope you enjoy.

[@Cerderius]

Thats why I split a box with 4 friends. I can't justify that price on my own dime

[@Trogdorbad]

I have to say, I've been surprisingly pleased with Duskmourn. I went into it with no real expectations but I think it's become my favorite set of the year. The theming is actually quite fun and even more than that, the cards themselves are spectacular - there's so much in this set I've gotten between prerelease, a draft, a box, and some miscellaneous packs that I've really really liked and can't wait to use in deckbuilds. Kadena in particular got lots of new toys for me to play with and that's very exciting for me

[@jasa_TheRealOne]

Gotta say out of all the sleeper cards you hit, Sheltered by Ghosts and Calix Guided by fate is a disgusting combo. Getting temporary exile + ward 2 every turn snowballs, fast.

[@KuroNoKeiyakusha88]

I actually opened my very first box 2 days ago, after 11 years of Magic. My hometown, Helsinki, has this somewhat pricy game/comic/manga store that runs monthly sales of certain older products and a draft box of Zendikar rising was just 81 euros. I got 15 euros from the extra promos they gave me, 32 euros from the topper Scalding Tarn and then about 80 euros from the mythics(foil showcase Omnath ^^), rares and certain uncommons over 1 euro on mcm low..

[@RoundhouseK1cks]

That Defcat song was fantastic prof! Great choice and shoutout Defcat for that one!

[@Mason-Berry]

$130 from your LGS is them making $15 on the box. It’s getting to be not worth us carrying them as much as it is not worth it for you to open them.

[@wishwaraich9999]

Isn’t that an 11.5% markup?

[@FuncleChuck]

That’s awful margins. Definitely can’t have that taking up much shelf space, just pull them out for draft events I guess.

[@beningram1811]

"Fear of failed tests" flavour adjustment suggestion: It currently draws cards based on combat damage dealt by itself, which doesn't really feel like a failed test to me. I would rather have it draw cards when something was attempted, but fails. Like casting a spell, only for it to be countered (draw when an opponent's spell is countered, a number of cards equal to the mana value of the countered card), or when an attack becomes blocked (...equal to the damage dealt to the blocking creature).

[@Zeyga]

Excited to see the Tolarian Winds for WotC acquiring the EDH rules committee

[@Thomas-vn6cr]

The investors are now the primary stakeholders in EDH.

[@melissawilliams4635]

Love that this drops on a Monday and in the intro Prof says it’s Friday. Gotta love the delay in filming and editing this episode and the actual release.

[@silastallio2932]

Been watching you since 2017, finally supporting on patreon now that I’m working full time and I can’t wait for the signed sol ring!!

[@disneynerdcraig]

More value than I realized. I haven't been as fortunate. Especially with collector boosters

[@Chaoslorden]

If I ever buy a box of magic again, I'm just going to have the mindset that I don't care of the value and I hope I get cool cards to play cardboard crack with. If I go in with the hope of somehow being able to sell a couple cards and get the value back I'm going to be sad 99% of the times. And that is not fun.

[@Greg501-]

Exactly, the only sets that are going to have resale value are Universes Beyond stuff, and Modern Horizons sets with their power creep.

[@mcgoo721]

Isn't selling a small portion of a bulk lot for net profit kind of a ridiculous expectation though? Like, people just want free money as the baseline? If I could recoup a bit of the cost, have fun actually using the product, and had the chance to maybe hit a money card I think I'd be happy. I understand wanting value but I don't get these people that want guaranteed profit. Do they even like Magic to begin with?

[@Greg501-]

@@mcgoo721 Some of them do

[@Thxmby42]

I have a bad habit of watching these review videos after I’ve already bought the product, but hey I rlly like this set so I’m glad to have gotten a box this time

[@PADisAwsome]

Thank goodness we hit that second box!! I need something to watch while I wait in line for this SL to hopefully not be sold out XD

[@deaddomain]

Let’s goooo been waiting for this one!!

[@puzzlejinx]

RIP Brian, his contributions to the MtG community will never be forgotten

[@tapedeccard]

I want your in-depth analysis of set vs play boosters. We’ve had enough time.

[@YabbaDabbaDoo2U2]

Haven't bought packs in a loooong time. I didn't realize they put the rares first now, that's so lame.

[@CarroTwasfriggintaken]

I love the irony of opening a booster box on the BUY SINGLES playmat.

[@GG-bw5qd]

The cassette tape the Prof has pop up for music change feels especially on point for this set

[@LS19981]

if they just yeeted the collector boxes and gave us one collector slot a booster I'd be a little warmer to higher priced booster packs. but they didn't, and I'm not.

[@blackdolphin8643]

I think they should do that but still keep the collectors boxes. I personally have the expendable income to buy collector boxes and enjoy them. But I don't like the idea of ANYTHING being only available in one product. It'd be SICK af to open a random play booster and get a textured foiled Japanese art card. Even if that is at a crazy lower percentage rate.

[@LS19981]

@@blackdolphin8643 at the very, very least they gotta be clearer about what's in which boxes

[@blackdolphin8643]

@LS19981 I'm not sure what you mean. They already tell exactly exactly how many packs are in a box, and how many of each rarity are in each pack. Even how many lands are in the pack. Though none of that is stated on the packs, I'd like to see that be thing.

[@LS19981]

@@blackdolphin8643 dunno which packs i gotta buy to get serial cards, alt arts, full arts, etc

[@ravnhovland5794]

Are the way they pack boosters different in the US? I live in Norway, and i am pretty sure that the token and rares are on the bottom here, i have also never opend a booster that does not have a ful art land in it.

[@AthenaJohnsonathenasaurus]

Wonder if it has anything to do with regional laws regarding gambling

[@magic_claw]

Manufacturing in different places changes the order of the cards. There's some explanation somewhere online about why. It is apparently non-trivial to change. It's also why US collector boosters have the rares and mythics up front while the Japanese ones have them in the back (typically.preferred for more excitement).

[@AthenaJohnsonathenasaurus]

@magic_claw oh wow didn't know that, thats neat ty

[@jonesyfromtheblock9635]

USA cards are printed in China I thought, European cards are printed in Belgium like all the old sets, Japan is printed in Japan

[@magic_claw]

@@jonesyfromtheblock9635 Yes, and all of them are slightly different. Card stock, colors, foil quality, and order of cards in the pack, sometimes.

[@brianclark2526]

can I ask prof, where are you getting boxes for 130 in person? stores buy boxes from distributors at $117, most stores can't sell boxes at 130 to keep the lights on unless you're a massive place with hundreds of card sales every day to make up for it

[@bakudanashita]

I really wish these videos were done with commentary. I honestly could not give even a single iota about the cards or their value, I'm just here to hear what the Prof has to say.

[@KrisRogos]

To be fair, it is better than some recent sets. For a while, you had to get the one $50+ card or you would lose out. Now, you need to find a few of the $15-20 cards, which is better both statistically and as it means a lower entry point for buying singles.

[@skylersuarez598]

Every single time I watch these I just think of the clip, when the maladies h booster box game came out, “ I get to keep the masterpiece, I get to keep the masterpiece🎉”

[@IkarosLanding]

I bought a box myself this set as I loved the horror themes and references included, but boy howdy. I'd have to admit after the 10th booster I started to reflexively just look at the rare and wild card foil to see what I got, and tossed the rest of the pack in a pile. I hardly got anything interesting in most of my packs. Basically what I'm saying is I miss play boosters 😅

[@stoicpainter]

here is a great idea, wotc could have a random "hidden gem" pack slot for a collector booster pack instead of having two products, make it more fun to open play boosters. could be a code/card redemption ticket that could be traded in to lgs or directly to wizards. idk, the idea of just having a fun to open pack of cards with different treatments is nice. set boosters were okay. but with the lack of specialized non foil cards in play boosters does not warrant any increase in prices. only answer=greed
