The gap between value and price continues to get worse with sealed. The solution? Apparently, WotC believes its increasing the price on sealed some more. I really enjoyed opening sealed products but for the last 16 months I just can't justify the cost and now it looks like it's another year of singles only. It's depressing and I just don't understand why they think this is good for the game.

​@@MH-pe8wj Had to check to make sure... The only one that's outrageous is Commander Masters. Lord of the Rings is high, but less than $200 for set boosters (collector's are out of line high, though,) and MotM are at a regular price (nowadays...) but draft boosters are high compared to set ones. Either they're gonna raise set prices for MotM, or they lower the draft (we know they won't do that...)

Sadly, due to Influencers and larger game stores, a false demand has made them so over printed, that as soon as release hits, the Big game stores and Influencers rip everything, presell, and then flood market to the point that a small lgs has and will literally go under, solely from Magic sales. The game needs more players and alot less greedy people trying to make a buck.

It has at the very least demolished any and all will i had to open boosters at all. As someone who mostly collects and plays online because of a lack of community around it where i live i no longer see a reason to open boosters. Why would i buy the normal set boosters if collector boosters exist, why would i buy collector boosters when they're overpriced to an inane degree and they don't even have enough packs to make for a fun opening.

it's still fun to get a pack here an there because I find stuff I didn't know about, but putting the time in to look at the sets and know what I want and don't want, and to buy the stuff I want feels so much better in the long run. I ended up buying the phyrexian showcase lands for my vampire orzov deck and it kind of hurt to spend $25 bucks on lands but not as much as buying a set booster box and just *hoping* I got them.

If not for the alt art Force of Will I pulled on my second to last pack, that box would've been very comparable to the Profs though. Until then the highest value I pulled was Yawgmoth, alt art No Mercy, foil Entomb and two Mystical Tutors. So yeah, gonna end on that high note.

@@MrCenturion13 I recently did a little buying and got 70 Beta basic lands from different people. All artworks, some dark Beta, none in pristine condition but all look really nice in sleeves. I used to play foil basics from Mirrodin and Unhinged, now its all Beta in all my decks. All the new fancy versions made me do it. Putting Beta basics from 1993 into all my decks now, if i run out i will buy more. Some go for unglued nonfoil basics, this set pre-dates foil cards and these are the first fullart basic lands ever released to my knowledge, and there is only one version for each. Some go for unlimited basics as the only white-bordered cards in the deck (apart from dual lands) for easier fetchland use. Or revised basic lands to go with revised dual lands, again for fetchland use. What i feel is that all the variants make people desire a permanent solution across all decks. One recognizable version across all decks and be done with it. So a newer, fancier version comes along and noone cares. Fetchlands play a role, failing to quickly find your fetchland target feels bad. With these new ones, and i agree they look nice, the sensible options are: Ignore them, or buy 100 and use them consistently for ALL your decks.

@@MrCenturion13 I still do not like alpha, it makes weird wear patterns on the sleeves which make your deck marked. This matters for tournaments, not for EDH, in tournaments Alpha comes with the burden of having to re-sleeve the entire deck often. I like the consistency. I think Alpha/Beta and Unglued basics are most recognizable across the table, 1993 due to nostalgia and Unglued due to the very good, unique design. Its like these are most friendly for people with impaired vision. Beta is a bit of a flex, as these are pricy. The reason why i do not go for unlimited to match my white-bordered dual lands is a bit sick, i play no white-bordered duals. I play foreign limited black-bordered french/italian/german duals. These raise eyebrows, they look even better than Beta. Frame looks like 4th edition black-bordered, color saturation and print quality are really high, and many people do not even know these exist. Low print run. So its always a bit of a moment when you play a black-bordered french Underground Sea.

Was literally talking about this earlier this morning. Buying booster packs (regardless of draft, set or collector) is a gamble. It’s basically like buying a lottery ticket. You might win something, but most of the time you will not. Case in point: before this set, last box I bought was New Capenna. Which was an absolute dumpster fire of a set. I did buy a set booster box (and a half) of Phyrexia and got some sweet pulls. But for every set you pull great from, there will always be one or two that will be terrible. Opening these, you understand the risk, and realize you could walk away with nothing. Get what you need, buy the singles you need. If you play the booster box game expecting to pull that Elesh Norn, you will ALWAYS be disappointed.

The Collector's and Booster box games are my favorite, though I must admit that your lessons in buying singles hasn't quite sunk in. It's hard buying a $100 card, when I can get a box of cards and grow my collection. I'm trying to look for deals, but they are hard to come by with singles 😔
@lucasrios2089

something that may help: consider why you are growing your collection. Is having a lot of cards what you want from the game? what is the point of having a larger collection for you? is it for options for deckbuilding? is it because it feels good? is it because you want to have more cards than your friend? consider also that the majority of cards you own will never be looked at played with, used, etc. bar specific circumstances that the average mtg player won't likely be meeting. basically, if you want to build decks proxy, if you want singles buy them. I promise it will save you money in the long run. Plus if you are buying singles you get the exact card you want 100% of the time rather than any pack randomness.

I did a sealed thing with friends early this week with my box of Dominaria Remastered. My box, though, was pretty fantastic in terms of value. 2 FoWs (one old border, one full art), Mystical and Enlightened tutors (old border Mystical), foil full art Entomb, full art Urza's Incubator, BoP, regular and full art Mystic Remora, Gauntlet of Power. So in the end it was really good. But still - we played so that was the big important part.

Had lots of fun as usual with this. I would once again like to request considering a softer, less intrusive sound alert when you pull a money card. That "Cha Ching" is very loud and imo ruins the chill vibe your great music Playlist brings to the table.

It feels to me like collectors boosters are driving down the perceived value of special treatment "normal" cards... like... it feels like foil or showcase commons, uncommons, or penny rares used to feel more special... it's weird that a showcase foil rare is under the $2 threshold for the booster box game... right? That seems wrong somehow.

According to the shrodinger's cat experiment there is a universe where collector boxes have 36 packs for the same price

The Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment is a critique of the copenhagen interpretation of Schroedinger's equation though, so I don't think it applies IRL.

Played a draft yesterday with a Dominaria Remastered Box I bought. Even with the draft enviroment not being the best, and the 24 boosters sorta paying their cost, the fun drafting with friends was priceless. Drafts are always fun with good friends... I just hope WotC don't forget that, as many players fears that draft boosters could be dropped entirely in the future...

me and 3 friends actually DID draft a collector box once, we did a 4 player draft of Strixhaven, and it was one of the most fun drafts i've ever done, it was such a weird and fun environment, tho i suspect that it was in part because of the archive cards.

Since you like to showcase other card games from time to time, it'd be nice if you opened a box for each of them to see/show how they compare to Magic boxes. Doesn't need to be a full game, and it could just be the most recent set or something.
