Leaving this here for anyone who may see it: Prof explained in his stream today that he purchased the Marvel Secret Lairs second hand from shops, he did not scalp them and neither did Whatnot. They gave him the money to purchase the items he wanted to giveaway. Neither the Prof nor Whatnot did anything to contribute to you not getting your Secret Lair. In fact, they’re trying to help you get one by giving you a chance to win it in the giveaway.

@@leadpaintchips9461 the secondary market will always exist. If Prof and a handful of people refused to buy in the secondary market, it would make no difference. There will always be people buying this way; you can’t get everyone to boycott. The only way to make scalpers go out of business is if companies stopped making limited production products all together. It is just the nature of collectibles and other items of scarcity. So given all that, and accepting that we will never live in a utopia where only end users will ever buy a limited-run product and no one will ever buy as gifts or to sell, I am thankful that Prof had the idea to pick up these items and give some regular people a chance to get these for free. Don’t give him shit for “adding to the problem”. If he didn’t buy those 25, someone else would have and they would probably end up flipping them in the future too. Grumbling about it does no good other than bring good people (like prof) down.

​@@TolarianCommunityCollegeIt very certainly is discouraging to see some people - may they be new to the channel or not - immediately assuming the worst without any certainty. Some people prefer, generally speaking, being right about something good turning out to be bad over being wrong about something bad turning out good. Pessimism. In all fairness though, I think when a product is in such high demand and so severely limited, it is always a reasonable and good idea to clarify how one got their hands on an enormous amount it.

The packs are double sealed, so I highly recommend snake drafting packs. Roll for turn order. And after each round of picks the order is reversed. (With two players it's first second second first, three is first second third third second first, etc) So still a two pack buy in, but now you can try to piece together some amount of synergy between packs. My LGS does open 3 pick two and stick with it, which also helps with making decks feel better

I got a booster box of Jumpstart 2022. I sleeved all the different themes in separate 20-card deck boxes and kept them around. I know often play with my younger nephews. It’s a really easy way to learn the game and has enough variance to keep being entertaining. I swapped out 3 duplicate themes I had for 3 new themes from Foundations. Couldn’t be happier. It’s one of the best ways to learn new players (especially young one) the basics of Magic. And Foundations makes it even easier, with its “limited” set of interactions and abilities. I could not love this set more.

Having bought a bunch of JS Foundations to battle with my son, I wish the packs had the necessary tokens! The backside of the deck theme cards would have been the IDEAL place to print the token. Otherwise, quite happy with JS Foundations.

Having seen this video popped up and I haven't seen this product in a local card shop. This would be a fun item to play with my brother but dear god, I think this is like looking for a white fur gorilla at local card shops around just for this product. I even believed that Jumpstart was just a direct purchase from Wotc after not playing the game in a while.

My friends and i love jumpstart (the good kind) so i bought a box as soon as we can and we had fun. My only gripe was the luck of the box itself. Not because of "value/hits" we didnt care, but we got a bad box in terms of variety. Out of 4 green packs, 3 were elves. Half of our 6 blue packs were soaring. In 6 white packs, each had a duplicate theme (3 themes shown up). And only 3 red packs total. Its not a knock on jumpstart itself, i just wanted to get this out of my system.

I got a booster box from preorder when it was cheap and got Rev and Aphelia when I was hoping for a Scythcat Cub…so I was happy but also missed what I had wanted the most. I bought two additional packs at my LGS and one had Scytheclaw XD Foundations has been an obscenely lucky set for me for some reason

I haven't bought cards in a while but you've convinced me I need to get into this Jumpstart. My last big purchase was making a Jumpstart cube for the GF. Those set ones really sucked. If this one seems good I'm very interested.

I just cracked a box for the hell of it. Didn’t realize the price of the cards. Definitely lucked out on two scythe cats and two revs. Would have like to have seen bills though. Time to sell to my lgs and pick up Vilis!

If I can join the chorus to echo what others have said: Prof did NOT buy 25 secret lairs at launch. He did not “steal” these cards from people understandably upset by a low printing on what was a highly anticipated set of cards. He got money from Whatnot to do a cool giveaway on an upcoming stream and he used that to go to several LGS’s to buy the secret lairs and is giving them away to give folks a chance to win a set of cards nearly everyone wants but many couldn’t get. No one is saying Prof is immune from criticism but if you are going to jump on a hate train at least listen to what he said in the video and what he has clarified in numerous replies.

Ive been hoping a good jumpstart set would come out gain. My 10yo has been wanting to get involved in a draft or prerelease event but wouldnt be able to cope with the build part. I managed to get a place for him and myself at the jumpstart event at our lgd and he cant wait.

Iconic cards and good cards aren't always the same. While I'd love to see like, lightning bolt or lord of atlantis I'd also love to see fireball. Cards that entice new players to think of ways to break them.

Like, there are so many older cards that are iconic -to me- even though their not good. Me and my friends loved auriok champion, one of my all time favs is horrifying revelation, glimpse the unthinkable is right there. But like, are they iconic to players? idk. Are they powerful? Glimpse maybe...? Being a bed or mediocre card, or worse, a decently playable card, shouldn't be the problem, it should be the norm. Give them the strong and the weird, the bad and the good. Magic isn't exclusively made of legacy staples.

My biggest annoyance with Jumpstart is having to disentangle the decks afterwards. I picked up 2 2-packs from target and wound up with the same theme in each of them, which was a bit of an annoyance

I’ve been considering buying some Jumpstart packs to play with my older brother over the holidays. He got me into Commander, but his decks are at a far higher power level than me. So, Jumpstart should bring us down to an equal level lol

It's interesting that even though Prof's pronunciation of "anime" is essentially the "correct" Japanese pronunciation, it sounds so alien to my ears because I'm used to native English speakers pronouncing it with a short "a".
