The excessive Time Spiral: Remastered inclusions makes a lot of sense actually - the set was released around the time of the big Pokemon rush, and being the "premium" set of the time a bunch of people were straight up stealing them off the shelves, or scanning different packs to get a discount (these being the versions they sent to big box stores, which is why they have the paper outer wrapping). All the Targets and Wal-Marts and the like basically declared "fuck this" and returned all of their most steal-able stock to the distributors and refused to buy more to put on their shelves, so distributors were left with tons of these things - which is probably why it's their "chase" inclusion for these particular scams.

[@beruriernoir1313]

[@darthsnarf]

i dont get how the big boxes still sell mtg, the amount of stolen packs ive seen discarded over the years is insane. when the collectors were first coming out, i would see almost the entire display all cracked open and stolen. they must of lost thousands. packs are so small and easy to steal, literally just crack the cardboard shell and stick in pocket. and now packs are even more expensive. they dont sell anything so small and easy to steal while also being so valuable, surprised they dont have them in a locked case.

[@TheAweDude1]

You know what I remember? Some card shops would sell pre-made casual decks for like 10-15 dollars. They weren't anything special, just 60 somewhat on-theme cards that served as a good jumping off point. Sure, you could usually build a much better deck for the same amount by yourself, but it was a great way for card shops to get rid of the goddamn mountains of cards they would accumulate. I remember buying a goblin one that had a chieftian, some gempalm incerators, and a bunch of derpy goblins. Eventually I tuned that very deck into a fairly capable standard Goblins during Zendikar/Scars block and had a great time. Good times.

Lawyer here. The question in a defamation lawsuit isn’t whether what you said was defamatory, but is whether a reasonable person would believe what you said was defamatory. In law school they use what you’re doing as an example of something that people think they can do to get out of defamation liability. So you’re not covering yourself on the defamation lawsuit front. Good video though!

[@pyredynasty]

Fun fact: the Time Spiral Reamaster pack comes in a rack sheath. This means that the "hit" boxes weigh less. I'm not saying this so people will go weigh these. I'm saying this because you can be pretty sure they have already been before they reach you.

free speech laws are generally pretty lenient in regards to what you can say about another person or company but there are almost always hard caps in regards to libel and slander. Accusing an individual or group or company of criminal behavior is a very serious thing so terms like scam, grift, fraud or alternatively cult should probably not be said unless you really mean it and can back up your statements. products like these and others that professor has reviewed maybe be of poor quality or value and the ethics of selling them can be questioned but I don't think any of them constitute a breach of local of federal laws.

I would grab a few myself if I could find them, but they were all scooped up at my Walmart, sadly. I just find them fun to open, I'm aware there's little to no profit to be had. Though, I did see at least two Revised Packs pulled out of them. Still, yeah, they should be more transparent about the risks.

[@wormspeaker]

All else being equal, I think it's better that a parent bought this instead of a intro deck or jumpstart deck for their kid. Assuming that the kid is already an enfranchised player this is going to be a better gift than another intro product. It's not a great product overall and it's cheating people out of a few bucks on average, but I don't see it as a huge crime. No enfranchised player should buy it for themselves though I bought one myself just to see what was inside it. Once is all my curiosity required. But for someone who wanted to buy a gift for me they would do better to spend $30 on this than what $30 would get them from most of what is on offer at the local Walmart. I don't need another Jumpstart or Intro deck.

[@Magicannon_]

I like how in the printings listed for Etali on Scryfall, "Resale Promos" is an option, making the foil as worthwhile as the nonfoil from any other set. Seems they've been at this for a while too. You can look up the resale promo "set" as well to see what sort of cards you'd expect to find in these sorts of scams. And don't look now, but 2021's 7 cards have been the most cards as resale promos so I only expect more of these sorts of products to crop up in the next few years.

[@slavisatosanovic2672]

There is 0 chance that any real LGS is charging $30 for a single TSR pack.

[@wormspeaker]

@@slavisatosanovic2672 Depends where they live. I was in Thailand a couple months ago and while there's a pretty good MTG scene in Bangkok (they have like a dozen LGS in Bangkok alone though only about half of them do MTG) but the problem is that they need to import their product and Thailand has a pretty steep import duty on pretty much everything that comes into the country. Combine that with the difficulty getting enough product for the demand in country and you can end up finding anything that isn't currently being printed at two, three, or more times what they would go for in the US. If there's only a single box of TSR in the entire country of nearly 70 million people you should expect to pay a premium. In the US the ability to get the product shipped to you from major retailers means that an LGS isn't going to be too far out of whack from internet prices no matter how remote the location, but that's not true for many places in the world outside of NA.

[@BucksCorner101]

3 LGS's within an hour of me in Pennsylvania have them at $12-18 respectively. It's very possible to see stores jacking prices up just so they can make money off of their loyal regulars.

@@slavisatosanovic2672 really depends on competiton, I live in Bosnia, only one LGS in whole country, they've jacked up prices of single draft booster from 4.44$ to 5.55$, and any special pack is at least 11,10$.

Hey TCC,. I find this selling tactic very predatory and I hate that they can get away with it. However, having done a tiny bit of research on Card Kingdom, to buy all the booster packs that you got, plus each of the promos you got (except the damaged one), you would have to pay $338.95+shipping. If you got all these for $30 each, that means that customers are actually getting, on average, more value out of them than they put in. Now, this doesn't completely vindicate the company. They sell you the dream of pulling a pack worth hundreds of dollars and then give you a pack worth $10 and and handful worth $3-$7. Booster packs are a bad way of getting singles, and because of the lack of variety you can't even really do a chaos draft off of a few of these. Furthermore, they are doing this to liquidate back-stock, and so one would expect to be getting a great deal. However, given that even the boxes without two Time Spiral Remastered packs in them represent a cheaper way of buying the packs you get than buying those packs individually, do you not think it is harsh to call this a scam? It is obviously predatory and misleading, but at least you aren't spending $30+ on like $10 worth of back-stock, like some of the trash "mystery" products you review here.

[@devinkerr5474]

I can understand the above sentiment, but the Professor is already a huge proponent of buying singles, as packs will almost never give you what you're actively looking for, add in that these are randomized boosters and the only thing this could possibly appeal to is Chaos draft. Yes, buying the boosters might be more on Card kingdom (Who lets be honest, have lower prices than a lot of LGS), but it's impossible to tell what you will get, and the cards inside a VERY unlikely to hold the booster's value. This is also counting current prices and these boxes will likely only ever lose value in time.

[@deathtoallturkeys]

@@devinkerr5474 I 100% agree with this and think that for almost all magic players, these boxes are a waste of money. My point was that it seems harsh to chuck these in with all the scam ones that charge 2-3 times more than the value of what's inside, given that these actually give you your value for money, even if it's still a bad product.

Hey Prof, as a fellow Chemex connoisseur, the 3 layers of the filter are meant to span the spout portion of the Chemex to help keep the filter from collapsing.

[@IzzetNilson]

I think the novelty of getting random packs for the sake of getting random packs from at any point would be fun! Though this doesn't sound like its doing it right. I know in a couple of my game stores around here, they would do these specials where they would put a bunch of cards together (like 150-ish, no basic lands) in a box or a brown lunch bag and a couple of packs (with a chance of getting another) of whatever set was the standard and selling them for like $10 or $15. I figured it was them offloading a bunch of older cards, but occasionally there'd be a basic land card that would have like a security stamp marking it with a promise of a discount or a free pack if we brought it back - which was honored, and it felt great! As someone who came back in at the end of M20, its great to see opportunity to get some of the more obscure cards from the past, but i wouldn't pay that much for this "random" box lol

[@INFLAMESMASTER08]

Joe Moss from Bad Boy Gaming had 26 Etalis in 13 boxes :D

[@J.R218]

Your sheer enthusiasm convinced me to actually grab a bag of coffee, so here's hoping you get to work with them again!

[@jostme12]

Honestly sharing this channel with your friends and family as a guide for gift giving is very useful. If you have MTG products for gifts this can be a good way for them to inform themselves without giving away the surprise to you.

I have been waiting for this one! Thanks prof

[@therealcamallu]

Prof: *buys a bunch of mystery boxes to demonstrate how bad they are* WotC: "Wow! These mystery boxes are selling really well! Let's make more of them!"

[@DragonProtector]

exactly. It literally is only helping them

[@kereminde]

WotC is more than likely not marketing these, or many of the other 'multipack mystery repacks' you can find at Target/WalMart. It's been noted several times in the past this seems like what happens when a distributor has damaged goods but not ALL of them are "unsellable". Therefore they repack, and sell again. WotC has no reason to make these products, though allowing distributors to resell them in this fashion probably should be something they look into.

Coffee and a video from the Professor! Awesome!

[@mikereese6606]

I would love to see more coffee talk on the channel! What grinder do you use?

[@anenchanter]

Ended up forgetting that I was watching a video about the mystery boxes and just enjoyed the coffee talk

[@GrahfGames]

This really is the physical equivalent of those ebay scams were someone is selling random card lots and claims that there's totally a Black Lotus or Mox in a couple of them, you just have to be the lucky one to buy it!

[@majorflanks]

i guess i should feel lucky since my promo cards were The Ur-Dragon and Kogla the Titan ape

[@MortiferGnome]

I found your personal plea compelling, and thus did not skip your advertisement.

[@spencerwarren5397]

I make sure to watch the ads and not skip them because I need to support this great content

[@DesolateZombie]

Seeing the Professor this excited about coffee is adorable and gives me hope for the future.

[@StevenLong]

There was so much suspense as to whether or not you'd get one of each basic!

[@benmarles5879]

I only recently started playing mtg, but have been watching your videos for quite some time Prof. Seeing the time spiraled remastered was cool, mainly because I recently did a draft with that set, and had a chance to draft 2 thoughtsieze (1 foil 1 non foil, both in the same pack) it was probably my 4th time playing mtg, and my 3rd draft, and I ended up going 2-1 getting first place with black, splashing a little bit of green. I finally cracked and bought myself a commander pre-con to start messing with, and I can’t say I regret the decision. I already started upgrading the deck too

[@chrisplumb4039]

I have watched several channels open these, and out of probably over 100 of these boxes, ONE got a revised pack. The rest were Masters 25 at best as the "chase" pack.
