Honestly, until I found your channel, I had no idea that buying singles was more cost effective than cracking packs. I mean I played in middle school, so like 1996ish, had few resources then and not too much access to local game stores, then fell out of MTG by High School. Picked it up more recently and grabbed some boxes, just because cracking packs was fun.I honestly didn't realize all the resources out there or that you could construct decks online and then buy those cards specifically (lol, clearly I lived in a cave). Your videos have really helped me enjoy the MTG experience so much more (not just financial tips, but deck construction, and product reviews). So, I'm glad you remind us that buying singles can be a way to go. :) Thanks so much for your fantastic channel!
