One of these days I wanna see a Booster Box Game video that’s like, 5 hours long but 4.5 hours is just the Prof silently organizing cards.

[@savannahlion3081]

ASMR Prof Hands .... Mmmmmm. 🤘🦁🤘

[@Dumorimasoddaa]

Just the full sorting and selling process filmed

[@phlipclip5097]

I nearly read Booster Box Video Game where you just play the economy of opening a booster box, buying/selling, watching when MTG events happen, setting up a booth with inventory, ect haha

[@SirLanik]

Am I remembering wrong? Didn’t he do a video where he just stared at the camera? Essentially that same bit

[@espergirlprodigy9240]

4 hours of silence occasionally broken by "Buy singles!"

[@jesterlampoon-t1j]

The best part of a channel like this: you can write off the cost of the box on your taxes as a business expense.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

shhhhhhhh

[@angelx9724]

Feel no shame, you worked hard at this show for years, you deserve a little treat 😂

[@kidkefka]

I mean, its kinda true lmfao. This is a buisiness expense.

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

My One Million Subscriber Celebration Video goes live this FRIDAY! Keep an eye out!

[@xChikyx]

congrats!

[@fortniteguytheguyfromfortnite]

WWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@HauntedCorpseGaming]

Congrats on 1 Million!

[@TheSimmus]

Hello Professor, in your last Shuffle Up & Play you asked if we had any ideas for other formats. I'd like to suggest the following: A Pre-Con League with the precontructed theme decks. Starting from Tempest block until Shadowmoor. A teacher recommended this idea to me, as her students and her own kids had great fun with the non-upgraded decks. A friend of mine and me tested this with the decks we started, Coldsnap, and it was a blast. Now we're searching for the Time Spiral ones. They are just great fun and can help newer players to understand what Magic was in the different stages of it's life, while it's nostalgic for established players. (Also sorry that I post this here and not on the other video, I wasn't fast enough and hope you get to see this message) As always, thanks for your content and your continued positive influence on the community.

[@JackOropeza]

I'll keep both eyes out for that video.

[@mikotagayuna8494]

One of these days, the Prof will record himself rambling while sleeving up a new Commander deck and I'm all for it.

[@turniptoasty8015]

He kinda has already! He has review of multiple SLD decks and they are some of my favorites!

[@nheimi99]

Every time I'm excited for a set and start jonesing to crack some packs, Prof swoops in and saves me from myself. Thank you once more, old friend.

[@joristhejester3229]

The length of this video is not promising...

[@savannahlion3081]

🙈🙉🙊

[@Amber-vn2le]

Hes just opening them very fast!!

[@shinigami052]

If it weren't for the KZbin algorithm they should make all booster box game videos 2hrs long with the rest of the video just being a black screen that says Game Over. But that'd hurt their chancel as people will leave when the video actually ends.

[@aleigor450]

@@shinigami052 Useless as you can just use your mouse to see where it would actually end

[@shinigami052]

@@aleigor450 Yeah sure, if you want to spoil it sure, but for a normal video it always shows the length so it auto-spoils it for everyone

[@phlipclip5097]

A cost of the top 10 at the end of each box would be nice. Mostly because I watch these when I'm doing other tasks and sometimes don't look over when the chaching happens.

[@Billchu13]

I too would find this helpful but I think they leave it out on purpose so you'll watch the whole thing

[@Raro404]

Happy 1 million Prof! Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do for this community.

[@nopinions]

Looking forward to the Bloomburrow video being nine minutes long, since that will only mean one thing: Cheap singles in my area!

[@tyleranderson3290]

That’s no way to talk about my mom 😂

[@justinas1237]

Congrats on 1 million, I remember watching your videos at 100k. I'm happy to see this channel grow so much over the years. 🎉🎉🎉

[@thedoctajon]

After opening 3 bundles and two prereleases, if I see one more Nyxborn Unicorn I'm gonna scream.

[@RonKingMagic]

Each play booster includes: 6 Nyxborn Unicorns, 4 uncommons, 1 new to modern 1 wildcard 1 rare/mythic 1 foil any rarity

[@reyntime8735]

It’s hardly decent in limited

[@styfen]

11:00 It's always a good time when the Prof's Dab Dab Dab music kicks in.

[@trident042]

Future Cha-Cha might be my favorite track he uses in these videos, it always perks me up.

[@necrotwoshoes]

Thank you for pulling a couple of stinkers out of circulation!

[@omarmansour3785]

Since last week i collect and play mtg thanks for getting me into it brother 👏🏻

[@johnnoreau3570]

Damn all the .20 cent rares and mythics

[@behemoth9543]

You can so clearly tell which ones are Commander only. Cards like Genku and Rosheen were never going to see play anywhere elde.

[@eicha41624]

Welcome to modern mtg :')

[@bch9124]

Plot twist: Prof has a hand model double for these box openings.

[@ShellShockOne]

I really appreciate the small bit of extra work put in to keep flashing the most expensive card you’ve pulled so far

[@boobox2000]

These boxes should cost $100 less. Just because there is a slightly higher value than standard sets doesn't mean it should cost double.

[@janelantestaverde2018]

Especially since that means you're not paying for the production value of the product but for the market value as if this was purely an investment and not a game.

[@Pizza_force]

Loved the modern video of shuffle up and play.

[@FenderTele71]

Showing all the art cards face down is a nice touch.

[@cas126]

The prices really tanked. I feel its the effect of oversaturation because you cant focus on one thing before something new is pushed out. Had i spent money panic buying cards i thought wouldve sold out or increased in price, id be out probably a couple hundred. Now my cart doesn't even break 75

[@savannahlion3081]

😢

[@aymanmz]

Some prices fell, some prices really spiked. For example, all the stupors that prof got are like 5 dollars minimum. Just give it time as formats find the cards they want

[@aymanmz]

Also gotta keep in mind that before this they were pre-release prices, so they tend to be jacked up

[@pauliedibbs9028]

@@aymanmz this... and some fell then spiked again, like Phlage.

[@Invictus-Solaris]

Some prices go down, others go up and the rest barely change. This is nothing new or surprising. Lol

[@Theanthill216]

One lgs by me barely got any mh3 and isnt planning on restocking. Even when 2 other lgs i usually go to have them at $9-10 a pack, this store has them for $12.50 a pack and dont do a box price discount on mtg…..so that’s $450 for a play booster!! Thats outrageous when they are $270 ish. They only stay in business cuz they do store credit & cash trades and have a big backstock of singles.

[@slobertsmalls]

Do they do preorders?

[@VictorKimPossible]

I prefer the videos where he commentates while looking at each card ;-;

[@drew1427]

As someone just getting into magic, I bought a booster pack from my local store because they were helping me construct a deck and giving me lands and a few of the cards they say are standard to use in commander, when I opened it not knowing prices and just reading the utilities, I was super happy with my pack. Even put a few in the deck!

[@atalhlla]

That box was so painful the Prof hurt his hand! D:

[@JCfromJohto]

Hi im new at Tolarian College and I love the videos. Is it common that the editor messes with the Professor by editing in cut-ins opposite to where he’s pointing? 😂😂😂

[@doozy1633]

9:17 I guess the prices were added before the inPhlagion

[@mageius]

Oddly enough, both boxes when compared to a lot of the people that were doing cases and other box openings were actually on the lower end. Yes I know it's not a fair representation, as some of them opened them as pre-orders, but even still it's just interesting to see the ratio between good boxes and bad.

[@slobertsmalls]

I paid $230 for a box solely to play sealed with friends. That's where the value is - playing limited formats with friends! Never buy a box expecting to get monetary value in return opening packs - the prof done taught me that.

[@XontheBox]

Wizards put the extra packs in so it would hurt less when you got disappointed

[@refan6]

I bought a bundle and barely made it. No big hits, but luckily only pulled a single bulk rare. The rest were the middle value rares and mythics of the set.

[@healingvisioner1]

I wish I were so lucky. My prerelease pack had a grand total of about $10 of value. I somehow opened 3 copies of the bad new wheel, and in two of those packs it was the only rare. I was so sad...

[@dennisv3972]

Been looking forward to this. Thanks prof!

[@austingreen4775]

Oh boy, another booster box game. Let's see Prof rip some packs to some great music. Hopefully the Behind the Campus video will also have some great music! (I know it will but I gotta keep the bit up)

[@benjaminloyd6056]

For repackaging cards for a draft, putting them in a small ziplock bag and turning over the bottom card works really well.

[@F4xP4s]

Banging music this episode

[@silverstorynost]

This amplifies the gratitude I have for opening $500 of value out of one of these. 😅 As usual, an absolutely amazing video Prof! Congratulations on 1 million, definitely well deserved!

[@Beale_]

I am amazed how you don't have a following. Such a positive attitude towards the game & market that you understand thoroughly. Believable. You know how to play! Happy!

[@Quon84]

You are just so stupid it's funny

[@SunglassBassonist]

huh? he's literally the most popular MTG youtuber lol

[@oh_slime]

i truly appreciate the dominos pizza hatsune miku intro

[@braydenellis6157]

I'll stand up for the prof, every way I can!

[@brianhawkins8397]

I see “Booster Box Game” and can immediately hear “The Builder” playing in my head without even watching the video

[@zacharythorp6095]

I've begun to appreciate the Commander Masters, Commander Legends, and Modern Horizon sets for how they let WotC revisit old mechanics the wouldn't otherwise get to for years - and make it *good*, or at least give more cards to work with. Slivers, Energy, Eldrazi (twice), Affinity, you name it. And, let's not forget, full-art borderless treatments of cool characters like Tatiyova.

[@taransnodgress5027]

The horn timing at 5:08 is perfect

[@yfw123]

Can't wait for the Collector's Editon booster game, should be more entertaining to watch that one.

[@c-eproductions3963]

Remember back in og Dominaria or masters 2017 prof open like 4 boxes, now he's lucky if he can make it through 1.

[@Kilaknux]

I love how the cards just stop moving for a little bit at 8:43. I'd probably have to stop for a bit after seeing that art as well.

[@SnipSnapDragon24]

Astounds me to see these fetches selling for shockland prices. Congrats on 1M subs. Well deserved for your quality content and your contributions to the community.

[@SimKill]

And the singles prices have bombed even since this was filmed

[@JoeyDCote]

Your first box was WAY better then my box. The burning is real.

[@Gaming_Antics]

Wizards of the Coast wants to make money by selling booster boxes and booster packs, but they give the players diminishing returns, very counter productive.

[@Lowelo860]

My first box 1 made my money back +100$ Canadian. Had 14 mythic 2 foil mythic absolutely crazy box. Ended up getting another box and def lost my luck. Probably didn't even get halfway on the second one. But hey cracking packs is fun:)

[@iiinrgmedia8087]

The phlage you have is priced at $12.56 but it is running at 28$ for foil on the market

[@danwilson9494]

I love these videos. They always help me decide against buying a box. Well. That and the fact that a box is currently $460 plus tax at my LGS. 😞

[@starmanda88]

Are you kidding me? That’s disgusting levels of price gauging. I would not support that store.

[@GarretWallace827]

My experience with play booster box was sinilar but i had a very solid collector box. I think the pro tour will help decide whether these packs end up being valued better

[@andrewmarinkovich8657]

Thank you for the video, Prof. Enjoyable as always. Maybe I'm feeling especially impatient today, but I don't think you need to pause and show the foiling of every common, uncommon, or basic land foil you come across. In the interest of keeping these videos as efficient and swift as they can be, of course. Thanks!

[@charmquark7514]

Pretty sure your first Box was still better than the one I opened hahaha! Was hoping for any of the new eldrazi titans but couldn’t even pull an echoes of eternity. Drafting it with friends was super fun though, so I don’t regret spending the money. :)

[@Flyboy245]

Interesting. Even with some hefty pulls in fetches, a titan, and some flares, didn’t even get there. Thought this set would easily win at least 2 boxes

[@Lukemyfather1]

I now have the strangest feeling, of wanting to dance

[@xattius4954]

was looking forward to this since prerelease. bit of a shame it didn't go nearly as well as some of the other expensive sets

[@gilliganallmighty3]

The issue is the fact that there are so many boxes being open, the market is flooded.

[@yoshitheonly]

6:58 the music slaps so hard 😭😭

[@rayman09tr]

the prices for the cards have dropped so hard, and yet the prices for the booster box didnt

[@benjaminfrye4661]

Store I go to sell play boxes at roughly $350 per…. Needless to say out of 3 boxes I got maybe a 3rd of the value spent…. Good news is I got 2 secret guests in one box though

[@akiraakiraakiraakira]

DefCat - Shrimpson Boys is such a nice track! thanks for showing it to me :3

[@szupko]

BTW, I did not see the subscribers number hit 1,000,000! Congratulations!

[@mnmsaregood1]

I opened one collector pack and got Ulamog. I think I used all my luck

[@paradieskiosk]

Thanks for opening, i wanted to buy a box because of the fetchlands, but they dropped do hard, and there are so less worth, i am quite happy i bought only one booster!

[@Did_No_Wrong]

I'm satisfied with my prerelease box. Got 2 Ugin's labyrinth and several decent cards like the Flare of cultivation. Gonna stop there before I end up crippling my wallet

[@jasonkorf7700]

Congrats on one million subscribers prof.

Carefull Prof ... Paper cuts! 🤘🦁🤘

[@Unch0sen1]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIT’S TIME TO PLAY THE BOOSTER BOX GAME WITH THE NEW CORE SET, M25!

[@MrRomanrin]

THE PRICES already changed SO MUCH since this video

[@TheZindash]

I dunno Prof, now that Phlage is over $30, I think the first box easily meets the $250. Consider the second box justified 😂

[@yakinikutabetai4780]

loving the pack opining content sprinkled in

[@bpchongo-.-]

Happy 1 million subs!!! 🎉

[@Bingcenzo]

Fun content! Have you heard that Warlord: Saga of the Storm is getting a reboot?

[@SlainBlackguard]

Here is hoping for 20min of the professor reading a book!

[@wolframflorian]

I love the new MDFCs in this set!

[@chipserkland]

If Hasbro fails at it's focus on the secondary market we get multiple boxes to open. Of course the value in the box is much less than purchase price.

[@dylanjstafford]

Which set was Prof able to open 7 boxes of?

[@jojobetzler3732]

I think MH2, TSR and Mystery Booster reached 5+ boxes and are currently the top 3. Double Masters was very high too, thanks to two 200 bucks Tarmogoyf boxtoppers.

[@Sonnygamez]

The beginning of the video is what i feel like when i purchase a booster box for 367 at my LCS 😂😂😂

[@TULEKH]

We could have no MH modern and I'd like that, and so would many of my friends

[@nekosnoozer]

the value of cards only really matter if you plan on sale or trading otherwise i dont think it matters, but thats just my opinion and nobody has to agree with me. although i do get excited when i get a card worth alot

[@Realletsplaygrey]

oof second box was rough, great cards, but i think ill stick to drafting 1 or 2 boxes with friends and then singles.

[@Demotros]

Woah woah woah. Which set hit 7 boxes??

[@rhc128]

If my memory is at all accurate I think it was kaladesh?

[@mrpanda750]

Ooof its cheaper to get a play set of each fetchland in this set and still have some left over.

[@Chilledsky2]

Going to be playing some sealed with friends this weekend using the box i got on pre sale for 220

[@androgynouslibra7607]

Any chance to stop the "foil wiggle"? I believe you without the card beeing waved around for 3 seconds 😅

[@joshualinse9000]

Opened 6 Boxes even at the $250 point (I bought mine for $220) I would have made it all the way to box 6. Box 1 $255, box 2 $245 (use the $5 profit to go box 3), box 3 $270, box 4 $311, box 5 $295 and finally the stinker - box 6 $237. I love watching these videos, as I'm a bit of a gambler and like the suspense.
