Hi everyone. You can really help me out and my channel out by taking a moment and watching my new video from yesterday that KZbin didn't send notifications on. It's a really awesome $40 deck tech with a fun potential turn 2 kill, and it got totally thrown in the garbage by KZbin. So if you didn't already take a moment to watch it, it would help so much if you did so now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbRXpiqadN8hpI

honestly, yes, as someone who doesn't play at all and doesn't know anything about the game (don't ask me what I'm doing here watching the video, apparently it went from D&D lore, to MTG lore, to rule explanations to this while I was cleaning the kitchen. Came back to this.) I might have bought it for friends who play...it just...looks like a lot of cards, while booster packs always look so tiny. I'd assume that if it's a real product Wizards of the coast put out, it can't be that bad. Well, now I know. (And knowing is half the battle!)

[@michaelcassidy5022]

The ONLY reasonable excuse to check the MtG section of a big box store is when the Commander decks come out, they usually don't weight the prices based on contents, so you can find them at MSRP if you're lucky/fast. That's it. That's the only reason.

[@golconda2]

[@Arghore]

Or pay 11 less dollars and get an actual Deckbuilders Toolkit, which I personally think isn't the worst product out there for newer players (i actually got a second to complete the sets of dual lands). And then buy 2 more packs if you insist on spending that 11 bucks on magic product, or get some lunch !

[@heliosretro4545]

@@Arghore i actually buy deckbuilders toolkits every time a new one comes out, i genuinely think theyre worth the money to a degree, but it depends on what exactly is in them, and that varies a lot.

[@Arghore]

@@heliosretro4545 Every time would be a bit to much for my taste, but i do think starting players can't do much wrong by buying two of them at the start of their collection. First off the boxes are great. The lands are also mighty fine (because those can actually be a bit hard to come by if you assume buying packs is how you start a deck). Also 4x evolving wilds or equivalent, and the tapped dual lands. Which make two color budget decks work. And all of those easily make their way into more budget EDH decks. Also think that for regular (non core) sets, there is generally a 'shell' of cards in them that coincide with the most obvious draft synergies, especially when combined with a draft one can end up with a deck that at least functions on synergy level. Where the power level easily exceeds planeswalker decks, while obviously not being competitive. BUT, if you have (a) friend(s) to play with, and they all get a starter kit, combined with the free decks, perhaps do a draft or pre-release in a shop. There can be a fairly wide variety (say up to 5 different styles) of decks emerging from it, that are fun to play against each other.

I think they're from the ripoff of a beginner product that WotC put out that was 2 sample decks and 2 spindowns. I think The Prof reviewed it. Anyway, these boxes are repackaging of product that head damaged packaging or was otherwise unsold, so it's random bits of stuff and the least popular items are this the most common.

[@mph8er]

Completely agree. I will give my my experience with the Walmart mystery boxes. I first saw them at Walmart maybe 2 years ago. I ignored them for obvious reasons, but I ran across a youtube video from a channel called bad boy gaming who mentioned getting a box full of foil lands and another with a commander deck and mentioned the weight being a key thing to look for. I ended up buying some 6 months ago; one in Hutto TX, two in Round Rock, TX. Two of them had the Swell the Host Commander deck in it (Ezuri Claw of Progress precon). The third had nothing but basic lands in it, though there was a single foil of each color amongst them. The Commander decks I was able to part out for about 85 dollars per deck and I sold the 5 foil lands for about $2 a piece. I don't remember the weights off the top of my head, but I just took them to the food scales and weighed about 7 at one location across a couple visits and 3 at the other location and I bought the heaviest 3. Unless you've got a system where someone reputable has done the legwork, I would avoid these like the plague.

'many magic the garthing players WONT STOP BuYYing this ripp off' XD

[@blazetheplaneswalker]

This looks like the kinda thing I would give to my friends as a secret Santa type gift except I would put more useful cards and boosters in it probably be more in it as well for the same price

[@laylacase598]

I bought one of these when I first started playing. Got the Tibalt half of a duel deck. Didn’t miss much not getting the Tibalt from it.

[@raydelmartinez2905]

Wow.. guaranteed less than $10 every time. Definitely a scam.

*pretend this is a funny comment*

[@drongobrat6471]

Funniest comment I've read in a while. You made my day

[@scottdaniels1138]

This so funny, I am dying of laughter.

Looking at the prices on mtggoldfish, and the only way I can see this not being a waste of money is if you get Crucible of Worlds in one of the Core 2019 packs & REALLY want those 4 common/land packs.

[@LASERJESUS]

I had a few run ins with things like this when i returned to collecting after multiple years doing other things. I dont have a good budget and i am limited to buying small packs or waiting a while and buying a one off bigger pack. So when i returned expecting the same mix ups some of the shops used to do i got excited about saving some of those pennies.. And it was NOT like it used to be xD. Thank you helping to make sure other people like me have a chance to not run into the same stupid wind ups :). (uk here and it wasnt as bad as these, but they never ever reached the cost paid to purchase) Only official products for me since then, i can afford less cards but i get things towards my collection faster than any weird bulky side boxes xD

[@juggernaut898]

Only grab these when commander precons are in em. Grabbed 3 and got 2 precons in each. $90 for almost 200 dollars in value

[@neatnotgoodgaming701]

Prof if you don’t want those foil Lathliss dragons I would love to put them in my “Izzet dragons?” Deck. You could even sign them that would be really cool. Either way keep up the great work! Always supporting you my friend!

[@GryphonTooth]

The ones at the Targets near me often have half the contents stolen. Often there's one with no packs and only half as many sets of worthless cards as the others. Sometimes even the promo is stolen. You'll often see challenger decks as well with a broken seal and all the rares missing.

[@TomozAlpha]

One friend of mine bought this and I was shocked to see this I already knew it was but he didn’t know any better I am glad you made this you possibly stopped people from making that mistake

[@trillman1111]

I got this product 4 years ago. It was my first introduction to MTG and it was 4 intro packs. It was nice to combine them and make my own deck.

[@MO_Carrow]

I was lucky enough to find 2 of these with Commander decks years ago. Oloro and Derevi. I still have them sealed. Too worried to open them since the prices keep going up.

[@taurinh]

Love your videos! Wish I had seen this before I bought mine. lol. BUT what do you think about the new packs from Walmart that have 4 Booster packs and 2 promo cards? Dominaria, Guilds of Ravnica, 2 Japanese WAR boosters. I seem like it's a lot better value as my friend pulled a alt art Lilliana out of one.

[@AnArmyOfFish]

I am glad you spent the money on these packs and honest reviews of things like these are partially why I subscribe. Sorry you got cheated but hopefully you'll help others not get cheated. Keep it up, Prof!

[@rustybrown4665]

thanks for the tips, i have seen these in my walmart before didnt buy them since they didnt have a name to them and thought at the time they were a rifoff too

[@BfDelano]

I’ve never seen products like this at my Target. Just the boosters, bundles and deck builders toolkits.

[@toamatau8785]

Professor, I'm well acquainted with this product, and I'm not even into Magic at the moment (I've temporarily rotated to other interests) but I still clicked because I knew it would be a damn funny video. You have so much charisma and I think this is your best work yet. You're so entertaining to watch.

[@paopaothesiopao995]

I remember Prof's line from the other video. But can you get old boosters from this like original Innistrad or Worldwake? "NO!"
