@@pointyheadYT They're also weirdly really rare? between a collector booster box, a set booster box, and the bundle, I got a grand total of one. A single copy of an uncommon in 50 boosters. This has been the experience of everyone I know who's opened packs so far. I don't know if it's because they don't have a borderless or scene variant, and set/collector boosters have dedicated slots for those.

Assuming that the bounty isn't bs to artificially push up hype. I think it's an offer put out by someone within the company, and they will not release that ring until they get a ton of money first, then plant it in a palet going to one of their selected. This whole thing reeks of wotc shenanigans and market manipulation.

Cracking packs is not a very cost effective way to start a collection. My advice is learn how to draft and go to as many events as you can at your LGS. You will get more quality cards that fit your play style. I am just saying this because, when I started, I bought at least a couple boxes every set and now I’m saddled with tons of unplayable garbage that just sits in boxes.

The first box actually had a considerable amount of overflow that could have gone towards the second. It would be cool if in the future of booster box games if you included a counter to show the total value of the value cards compared to the total value of the boxes you bought to see how much profit or loss you ended up with at the end of the day. Also since you've already included the prices of the $2 or less cards it would be cool to also see the total value of those cards and all cards open throughout the game to get a good gauge on the value of the boxes

I still feel like I'm totally new to MTG (my first foray into MTG was the Theros Beyond Death prerelease) but seeing prices for packs and boxes nearly double is so painful. From the price of entry to product fatigue I find myself incentivized less and less. I love opening packs and playing "the cardboard lotto" to see if I'll get something interesting or exciting to build around or put into an existing deck. Not when prices are getting higher and higher with each release. It takes something fun and turns it into instant buyer's remorse. Soon the average player will have to take out a bank loan for a box! (Hyperbole of course)

So, essentially whether or not you cover your costs comes down to three things: 1. The box Topper. 2. The list set cards. 3. How many Nazguls you get...one would hope that the mythics would determine the fate of the box and while some are definitely worth something, as it turns out, this is not so important.

Hey Crew - definitely check the prices on those signed art cards, they’re worth more than most actual cards in the set!

Can confirm, sealed is good. Played a pile of legendaries and having 2 Great Hall of the Citadel basically meant I could go ham and include whatever I wanted.

I really enjoy the variety of jams while you crack the packs. That last tune was especially catchy. 🎶 180 dollars is too much for a set booster box…especially this set. 🎶 🕺

Waiting for the review of the jump start for Middle Earth. Been thinking of getting a jump start box for awhile and hoping this is a good , fun, relatively balanced set for that :)

honestly I think it's hilarious that we all know there's no way to do this with the collectors booster box cause we're all playing the lottery and those boxes are NOT worth $500

Hi Prof! Thank you and TCC for always making thoughtful, fun, and interesting videos, especially shuffle up and play! I’m sure this video was filmed a while ago, so I’m not sure if you’re aware now, but it’s recently become clear that working conditions for employees at Hello Fresh packing facilities are extremely dangerous and exploitative. The workers there are pushing to unionize to fight for better conditions and pay, and I think that one way to show them solidarity is to cut sponsorship ties with Hello Fresh, especially since the company’s cozy “relatable” image is really laundered through sponsorship testimonials like yours. I hope this doesn’t come across as judgmental or dismissive at all- I only recently became aware of this news myself and wanted to spread the information since I’ve bought from Hello Fresh in the past. You and your channel have been an awesome example of solidarity with the union workers at Card Kingdom, and unflinching criticism of our cardboard overlords at WOTC/hasbro. I have no doubt that you’ll do the right thing (and maybe you already have! I can only imagine how busy filming is), and I hope that when you do you also publicly encourage your fellow MtG creators to do the same. A collective refusal to work with Hello Fresh really has a chance to make an impact, especially coming from a respected voice like yours. If you’ve read this incredibly long comment, thank you so much!

I saved up my Arena gold to get as much LotR as possible. I just made a Historic Brawl deck today with Merry, Esquire of Rohan. I'm missing a lot of things that would make it better (such as the awesome anthem tree), but it's been a good change of pace from the control decks the format seems to favor. Win within 5 turns or don't. 😂

Love this set but ya prices are way high. Did one set box and 2 collecters. Most I've ever spent on magic at one time but the hype was there for me. Did get balins tomb and 3 full art bowmasters so I'm happy with that.

Your first box is probably the best box possible. Big hits off the topper and the list spot. Most box aren't anything near this strong.

Fun fact: buying 3x common sets, 2x uncommon sets and 20-30 of the lower value rares and mythics for a set cube of LOTR costs about the same as all the packs of sleeves you need for them. Just a food token for thought.
