Opening 16 Revised Edition Booster Packs - 1994 Magic the Gathering

[@MTGNorth]

No no no, the giveaway is tomorrow lmao

[@timothytiu1333]

Congrats to the seller of the packs! Whatta winner

[@josa3127]

I'm happy you guys crack older stuff but if you're buying loose vintage packs, and you didn't see them come out of a box break, they will 100% have been mapped. Which explains why these were horrendous.

[@danielthompson2904]

@@josa3127 what does mapped mean?

[@charlesvane4687]

@@danielthompson2904 Probably translates into searched packs.

[@josa3127]

@@danielthompson2904 up until not too long ago, sets could be mapped in boxes. Imagine a grid, say 10x10. Each slot would be a specific card, as that's how they appear on the print sheet. When you fill the grid with every card, you can then know exactly where a rare will appear. That's what mapped means. Folks would crack a random pack in a box and map it. Then they would follow the grid for the next pack until they they knew exactly what rare would appear in what pack. You can find old threads mtgsalvation that talk about this

[@jcole4341]

They were repacks as easily as they opened

[@Rel3D]

@@danielthompson2904 I believe the older boxes you could tell what the booster box contains if you open one or two packs people can map out what the other packs contain based on the card order sheet. I will say I’m not 100% sure if revised is as mapped out this way. Sadly 30 year old stuff if it’s a bad pack we’ll suspect searched and if it’s good it’s legit. Nature of the beast lol.

[@ryanmorten6153]

theres no way these weren't already searched, rip your patrons

[@austinmorris2550]

my thoughts exactly, who sell half a booster box

[@YorkReacts]

Curious how would they go about searching them?

[@SpindlyTree86]

​@@YorkReacts you move the rare up to the top of the pack where you can barely see through the white part of the pack and see if it's a card you want.

[@bridewitt9089]

I dunno what’s worse, streaming yourself selling searched packs, or believing them and then buying said searched pack 😂

[@Sweetguy1821]

Reason they were sitting in a box for years is because they mapped the box and got all the good rares 😂.

[@ABCTraveler-ol5oj]

Searched packs. There is at least 4-5 duals in each box. These were searched and sold to you guys . Never buy loose old packs . They are searchable

[@grnman86]

It’s hard to believe those weren’t searched. Going 16 with not one land or even good rare seems suspicious

[@cuajocuajocuajo]

Cool mapped packs

[@925kevina]

the classic move now and then was to buy a box of revised, rip packs until you hit the dual land and then sell the rest of the packs… unless i see the box being opened you can be sssured you are unlikely to pull a dual land…the guy breaking them so excited about garbage cards it’s like the fly in the ointment lol so happy he’s ripping packs he didn’t pay for that he doesn’t realize his demeanor towards garbage packs are upsetting the people that likely paid 200+

[@Moldyvort]

I opened around 55 boxes of Revised back then, there were usually 3 dual lands per box on average.

[@lostingreenbay]

Definitely seems like they were searched. Oof pound town

[@johnneff7773]

Lmao Patron: Burn One “hooked you up” with these for credit lol. More like sold you searched packs for credit.

[@KenjiYo]

Love these openings! The nostalgia is strong, wish I could smell through the camera. Those Belgium carta mundi printed cards smell soooo good.

[@kirkgrant8121]

What a beautiful piece of nostalgia...

[@shawnbrahh]

I noticed you kept opening them upside down on the unsearchable side.

[@RockyMountainGearTester]

Man these videos bring me back to my childhood! CMG!

[@dethwizard]

Cool stuff. My very first magic pack was Revised and my very first rare was Vesuvan Doppelganger, which I still have to this day.

[@HuyNguyen-ie6ll]

They definitely searched the way you opened the packs… tell tell signs…

[@Qdrew78]

I remember opening these up :) such good memories my friends thank you!

[@Cosmicfire25]

I remember opening up Revised packs all those years ago. I feel a little nostalgic each time I watch a channel do it. One thing I don't remember is getting half the pack in lands. CMG helping us out again. Thank you

[@benmeaige4306]

For the conspiracy theorists out there, two data points. First data point, the fact that none of the money cards were hit in 16 packs: There are 11, which means in one pack, the odds of not hitting are 91%. In 16 packs, the odds are 91%^16 or ~22%. So completely explained through bad luck. Almost 1/4 of the time when you open 16 packs of revised, you won’t hit one of the top hits. Now for the probability of hitting no rares greater than $10…of which there are 22. That means the probability should be ~82% for one instance and 4% when opening 16 packs. Also throw in the fact there is a 42% chance that no demonic tutors or sol rings would be opened, that results in a 1.6% chance of opening no card better than Nev’s disk in 16 packs. Possible? Yes. Probable? You decide. My money’s on mapped packs.

[@paulbreedlove532]

The insurance dual land was a genius idea! Thanks for opening up some vintage guys!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kylesnuffleupagus8591]

I can honestly remember a time getting lands in my pack, slowly gathering enough forests and mountains for a deck.😅

[@_DavidLeBlanc]

This set and The Dark were the first sets I opened. Thanks for this video, very fun to watch!

[@Dapper422]

Im looking forward to DuskMourn. And Morgan's reactions. 😂

[@rafemaxwell4143]

Opening 15 packs of revised, feels like 1995!

[@germanyjones2700]

CMG new to you and your stuff thanks for the smiles always happy to see packs cracked and especially something this special

[@anythingpipes3722]

love you boys! keep the magic flowin

[@gavinkecan8917]

Started watching for the revised packs, subscribed because of the Strung Out shirt!

[@GeorgieTheMagicMan]

This makes me so happy to see you boys doing this. Fricking awesome 👍

[@gozmoszone]

Beautiful pulls. Got the same 2:44 from 1995

[@Azhalan]

I remember opening dozens of these back in the day. Never thought this would be anything special.

[@arockalypsgaming]

I remember cracking these back in the day. Oh when Magic was still as Garfield intended it to be.

[@heinsitegames5050]

Thanks for sharing, RIP wallets. Always need a good reminder why these are best kept sealed! Good content though.

[@jeromed9750]

I’ll always remember going to my LGS and thinking oh my god 15$ for a dual land, that’s so expensive! Black Lotus was 300$ if I recall.

[@Hynrah]

Had the privilege of meeting Dameon Willich back in 94, Gaea's Liege artwork is actually a self portrait, he painted it using his face.

[@isaxart]

CMG! I‘m a new Magic Fan and love your Videos! Good luck tomorrow!

[@energy-turtle]

Top 10 videos of the year this is one of them! ❤❤❤ this channel rules Can’t believe you guys actually met Douglas Schuler 😮😮😮 Morgan mentioning the diggler made me wanna play diablo 2 DUDE NEW KYLE INTRO COMIN 🎉

[@feintcircles]

CMG? Love your videos! Looking forward to seeing what you pull in Duskmourn.

[@checklissteric]

so nostalgic! but so little to be too excited for for playability today. actually i’d mostly want to see black vise or ivory tower lol. not to sound unappreciative!!! thanks for the fun! these were different times😊

[@6LordMortus9]

Lord of the Pit is one of my old fav's too :)

[@darrelc5411]

Love the older MTG packs

[@Zireael83]

i started magic with 4th edition in germany. never opened sets older than alliances/holelands/4th/chronicles. would love to open stuff like revised, awesome to watch :)

[@chapmanandchapmanproductio974]

Wooooo CRACKIN packs!!!!!

[@voidgadson8028]

Fun opening. Cool to see these old sets opened. Congrats to the winner.

[@ThijsNusselder]

Love the content! I'm looking forward to duskmourn! CMG

[@Chainsawyou]

Absolutely searched, do not buy loose packs unless youre part of a break

[@earthpond8043]

How do you ensure they haven’t been searched? Saw other commenters saying an average revised box would have 4-5 dual lands and yet 0 were pulled from 16… seems sus

[@Tom_Ace_US]

@@earthpond8043 when you use a light or device on the pack, the heat and light shrinks the seal even more and it withers, best way is to use an ex ray and have it hit the pack at once instead of using a light and moving through cards quickly as it shrinks/tightens. Got 20 NM duals revised, that way lol all for $100 each 😎

[@Benjamin-ol4jx]

I think safe to say 3 minimum in a box

[@cfrp27]

Grats! Cool opening!

[@Styzor]

I love the old art fog

[@0PhoenixFire0]

CMG?! Here it is! There it goes! Nice!

[@mtgwanderermage279]

I know you get a lot of lands per pack but holy uncommon lands batman😂. Definitely a cool opening and genius idea for the dual land give away🎉

[@Eeswaran1]

🔥opening wth tonnes of nostaogia. CMG has done it again!

[@AlexanderPimm]

that's pretty sweet and yeh I recall those back in the day being very fickle CMG and not always the most fun but back in the day it wasn't dual lands, exactly as he said, "oh stupid two color land whatever. I want that SHIVAN DRAGON!"

[@jamesgrantham1930]

OG Strung Out shirt I love it

[@KarenMasso-c1d]

Pretty cool!

[@joelmacgregor2615]

Taking me back boys. Thanks

[@deanraney1049]

Mundo that's what them badass kids called me on fallout 3.

[@ronawad6840]

You guys got so hosed 😂. It was a fun video, though!

[@Alsacien]

So many Uncommon lands in these packs!

[@TripsAhoy]

Ah yes the memories! ❤❤❤

[@corsosrarebooksandcollecti562]

There is no way those packs weren't from a mapped box. Those were ATROCIOUS. ☹️

[@christopherhavemann]

I actually have two packs of unopened and an unopen revised deck

[@kevmey2381]

They Looks so nice! 😊💪

[@EzraDickinson]

Wow just like when I was a kid and never pulled any of the hits.

[@MoxBox84]

Dude! Again, do the damn pack trick man. Especially with these packs.

[@Prioletti]

oh man, this is a big one!

[@JohnnyRingoize]

8 lands in a pack of 15... dang

[@K1aymor]

CMG is at it again?!?!

[@rodwalduck1231]

loved the vidoe CMG Guys

[@LordyCardboard]

Where are all the angry commenters who complain that you guys never open vintage products? 😂

[@beefwich]

Also, I’m super pumped WotC no longer includes basics in rare/uncommon slots. What a feelbad.

[@Azuluth]

How many Revised boosters are left do y’all reckon? Much love from Texas!

[@jorge57121]

100 percent duplicates the experience of buying booster packs back in the day. People starting off buying revised starters and boosters could occasionally find dark or legends (rarely antiquities and basically never arabian nights) booster packs, but buying revised was almost always like this. Basically to have decent cards you had to buy lots of packs and when WOTC finally caught up to the mad rush for their product they came out with Fallen Empires, Homelands and Ice Age, which, again, barely helped you. So you had to dump tons of money into buying revised or ice age packs, and later 4th edition which was just nerfed revised. The only other way of getting decent cards was buying them from local shops for insane prices for kids. A kid will maybe be able to buy a booster pack or two or maybe a started pack, but buying individual cards? For like real money? It basically meant anyone playing anyone who just poured their parents' or their own spending money into buying a huge amount of packs OR started playing 3, 6 or 9 months earlier just had clearly superior cards and was going to win. It took WOTC a couple years to fix this and they lost a lot of people in that time period, but it seems they finally figured it out and everything turned out ok in the long run.

[@Magimax5]

funny that each of this pack costs almost as a worn dual, it's like gambling to have a chance to go on pair or slightly above, revised packs should cost like 30$ for their overall value

[@JoseMartinez-ph5rl]

Holy shit! Tyson fury rips MTG?!

[@funkyflashman]

Well, at least nobody pulled a lace.

[@jefftaargus6672]

Dang, best pull was a $16,000 Grizzly Bear oof

[@HarborMastr]

Maybe CMG can bring us all back from the edge lol. Larry’s disk doesn’t quite hit like a dual!

[@grnman86]

Yo! Where’s a link for that cool marshmallow man shirt you had on !?

[@howardkwon2347]

0.0 dang these packs

[@JoyousOblivion]

Hope patrons didn’t pay much to get into this opening, pound town.

[@ericksonfaustino1631]

loose.of money...when buying this without seeing came from fresh from the box is a bad idea

[@prnunceddead3178]

Man. Those were rough.....

[@garetz00]

Should never open loose packs, always buy sealed boxes, more then likely they have been searched.

[@steveclark2205]

Does anyone see Data from Star trek TNG in the Gloom card😅😊?

[@kirkgrant8121]

What exactly does CMG stand for? (the more creative the responses from folks the better!)

[@SylvesterTemple]

More CMG? Made of win!

[@alexanderszikszay5675]

Vintage❤

[@chefemf]

The only winner was the one selling the packs lol

[@PriestMelchizedek]

Not even a Counterspell in any of the packs.

[@devoinc1]

CMG - Clever Morgan's Glasses?

[@honigson8776]
