[@krazyk334]

Here’s my experience Max if you care: My brother opened his violet etb and got 1 regular Great Tusk ex and a alt art Sandile… I opened the scarlet etb and got the alt art & full art Great Tusk ex, Oinklogne ex, Spidops ex, and an alt art Pidough In conclusion, these etb’s are either a hit or miss

[@traxbun]

i got great tusk ex, gold koraidon, full art tera arcanine, full art magnezone, and art rare pawmot from my violet etb

MAX AWARE OF CARDS PLAYABILITY?! This second (realistically 14th) coming of MaxmoefoePokemon has been a treat!!!

[@LunatheMoonDragon]

He makes comments about cards being worth more because they're playable all the time

[@popculturedata]

You really nailed the Matrix intro

[@DrNotnert]

Using a Morpheus AI voice for a shitpost intro is exactly what I would expect from Max and one of the reasons why he's the best card channel on this godforsaken site

[@SeaBarron]

this was the most Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Elite Trainer Boxes opening of all time

[@DOC_951]

@YeaMan stfu stop saying that, bot! No one cares.

[@Bee_Tea_Sea]

I like how they destroyed the price of holos by stuffing packs with them lol

[@joshuastreet8664]

now instead of being 0.30¢, they’re gonna be 0.20¢

[@Bee_Tea_Sea]

Exactly

[@mrflibble1259]

I don't care, at least when you pay 5 fucking quid a pack there's no chance of getting absolute shit non holos. That was such a ridiculous scam that I can't believe we let Pokémon get away with for so long.

[@msthecommentator2863]

That was kind of the point since inflated prices of playable/collectible cards were soaring through the roof. This is Pokemon's attempt to flood the market and make those who actually collect and play a chance to buy cards again

RIP Get fkd m8 lol

[@tiltalot3759]

Haven’t watched the video yet but damn Max I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to see steady uploads from my favorite KZbin channel

[@catvans]

Just opened a Scarlet/Violet box tonight and got the Miriam SAR. It’s my birthday so I guess the card gods blessed me today. Glad to see the uploads going strong :)

[@GarboGomi]

I think the back of the code cards DO still reveal what you'll get, its just more subtle. now you'll get a white border if its good and black if its trash.

[@GarboGomi]

i dont know how this would apply to guaranteed holo packs but i got a few non guaranteed holo individual packs for the 1st time in a few years and through 4 packs ive scientifically deduced that the borders are still givaways

[@343Anbu]

So rad seeing you back, got me extra hyped for the new set 💙 On the topic of ETBs, I’ve had good luck so far, two full art trainers (including the coveted WOMAN) in the first half of the violet one I’ve got. Jury is out on the other half, I’m pacing myself lol.

[@ArgentRex]

The Miraidon ETB i bought yielded a regular and art rare Koraidon ex, regular full art professor turo and an art rare slowpoke, crazy to see how the pull ratios are varying in them.

[@WeebInvestments69]

@@cellofellow5115Oh I can explain, sometimes people like different things. They’re not being sarcastic, don’t worry, they just formed an opinion independent of you. Nothing to fear.

[@thisismyyoutbename]

Glad you're back Max, but when do we see the return of the Maxmoefoe signature mega packs?

[@wissert]

I wish I could understand what witchcraft led to Max immediately picking up the 'ride-on' part of Koraidon but not Miraidon.

[@madisonking8057]

Well idk for certain because english, but miraidon is probably/ should be pronounced mee-ra-ee-don because mirai/未来/みらい is the Japanese word for future.

[@wissert]

@@madisonking8057 'Ride' in Katakana would still be ライド, which are the kana used in Miraidon's name :) Hence the play on words. Max had been pronouncing 'rai' as 'rei' up until he said Koraidon in the intro, which didn't stump him at all the way Miraidon had.

[@madisonking8057]

@@wissert well ライ is different than ラｲ , 2 syllables vs 1, but yeah I get what you are saying.

[@katerinastembergova3165]

These boxes were hella unlucky-opened the Koraidon box today and got 3 ex cards, one rare illustration card and a full art Koraidon, so this was just super unfortunate

[@me_avip]

Have not touched the ETBs but can confirm that full booster box pulls are nutty. 3 illustration rares, 2 full art trainers, (including Miriam) full art secret Koraidon and gold Miraidon. This not counting the EXs pulled for the standard set. That said, quality control has definitely not improved for this set. My bombirdier has such a perfect of grid of print lines over it I thought it was part of the design for a sec 😭

Love the sleeves having been a reference to the Lost Zone in the TCG.

[@lowpolylotad]

I think the randomness with this set is actually a lot less seeded now, at least when it comes to art rares and gold star rares. I got both Miriam arts from my etbs and a bunch of art rares, but my boosterbox was extremely mid, only 2 art rares and no gold star rares.

[@threespookfiveu]

[@saschanova2046]

Ever since you acknowledged that you knew that the One Piece TCG existed its been a pipe dream to actually see it, but base set has some sick art cards and secrets and shit to pull for. Please Goblin

[@TheLateMrBones]

I’ll never not be upset about Fairy and Poison type cards being changed to Psychic and Dark respectively.

[@mconlazy4101]

These two ETB's resembled my first two ETB's as well. The next two I opened had a gold each, and one had an illustration art. So ETB's are a massive toss up.

Think they added the extra reverse holos to reduce weight difference for good packs, but the holo packs are still about .3g heavier

[@tobykassulke2385]

Max out here uploading more frequently than cold ones.

[@haleyminkus5435]

I have been getting terrible pull rates out of this set. Out of approx 70 packs between my partner and I, we have pulled 3 secret arts (2 are repeats), probably 7-8 ex's with a few repeats, two alt art ex's, and two golds lol. Back when we were first opening CZ we were getting banger hits like every other pack. It's been tough out here.

My heart aches for you on this one king Answering your Q: me and my bf opened one ETB each, and mine did have 1 FA Mommy (Professor's Research), alt art Jacq, some random EX I think, and my personal fav, Kingambit art card. Mine was from Gamestop. His though was absolutely bonkers. Alt art Arven, alt art Miraidon, FA Spidops EX, FA Arcanine EX, and a handful of other EX. Ordered that one from the Pokemon Center online. ETBs are an absolute mixed bag. When Generations first came out, I bought what the shop owner described as the worst ETB he'd ever seen, and that was a set with ultra rares seeded out the ass lmao. YOU'LL GET EM NEXT TIME BROTHER

[@710wizard]

I’m glad your back max

[@lobster782]

I opened a set of Scarlet and Violet ETBs and my pulls were pretty insane, I got the Tera Gyrados Full Art card, Full Art Great Tusk EX, Two Toxicroak Ex cards, one Spidops EX, Illustration rare Bombirdier, Drowzee and Pawmot. Maybe you're just cursed
