MTG - Let's Play the Shadows Over Innistrad Booster Box Game for Magic The Gathering (Post Pro Tour)

[@xanaxkamikaze]

Kevin MacLeod's music is what makes these videos worth watching. Thank you.

[@antonioovena1994]

You could add in Duskwatch Recruiters to the price also, they were $2.75 on May 9th

[@aznfoomasta]

I know that you don't count Uncommons unless they are foil, but Duskwatch Recruiter is a $2.50+ value card.

[@SoldatCrinale]

as a player who has just returned to even playing casuals.....I love this channel. you've helped me decide on a ton of purchases and gave the info on what to avoid. thank you. keep up the great work

[@theinternetjerk9597]

Professor I absolutely love the booster box games you do. Your channel is the one I use the most in getting tips on product quality but I would really like to see more deck tech videos

[@Cha0sSp3ar]

What was with that relentless dead at the end

[@sean533]

yeah idk?!

[@kane0160]

We are all wondering...

[@Wonginator84]

+Cha0sSp3ar I'm guessing he missed it when he opened a flip rare of value and piled it into the left overs, kind of like the 3rd to last pack.

[@Marxfan58]

Ever think of adding a sort of pack counter? Maybe counting packs since a >2 pull or something idk or just the total packs opened. could be interesting.

[@jacobw7332]

+Pendrell Vale It would increase the suspense as time runs out to make the box profitable...

[@mattm7798]

Love the booster box game but please go back to the old music. I felt like I was sitting in a dentist office on Venus.

[@jensvide777]

+Matt M No, I prefer this music.

[@gabrielgomez1395]

This new music is better.

[@FathomMage]

The math is now correct!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

+Matthew McGill Third try is the charm! Wait...noo...that was my second try...I...so confused....

[@therealstinkypinky]

+Tolarian Community College This is why you're an English professor :)

[@gerudo6876]

+Tolarian Community College Prof you said "Monday may 9th" and then "Wednesday May 9th". are you entirely certain that you ARE an English professor

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

+CJ Boutot Pffft. Numbers.

[@casualmagic1102]

"It's Wednesday May 9th!" To quote Jumanji, "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"

[@IceWhiteDragon]

I enjoy the varity of music. Great video, as usual.

[@danedeslauriers1931]

professor, I love when you do that little bit extra. thanks a bunch.

[@SkyBungis]

Thanks for finally changing the music. Much appreciated.

[@ashzciwobuz1277]

the old music was so chill though

[@l_scanu8645]

Hey prof! I have always loved this series, but i was wondering if it would be possible that instead of music when the box is being opened, you talk a little, mabye about the set, mabye the prices or the Pro Tour, like a mini Tolarian Winds. :)

[@richardOMTWheatley]

Seconded.

[@l_scanu8645]

***** I would also settle for that 😂😂

[@KhanGarth]

+Luca Scanu he could have the music and just talk at specific points about certain cards he likes or how this particular card is performing, he doesnt have to be speaking the whole time, just quiet the music only when he's talking

[@l_scanu8645]

Garth Palmer Yh i did mean that, you can't excpect him to talk through the entire thing but i like your idea if turning the music down instead of getting rid of it while he's talking. :)

[@gabrielgomez1395]

No, I like the music.

[@kossetsu_7192]

Prof, I'm so jealous of that Avacyn pull. Cool video

[@Bobert2142]

a kindly suggestion. Could you add a counter for the total booster pack count?

[@kevinurasky6767]

I needed my booster box fix! Thank you!

[@huntedwumpus]

I appreciate the new music, Prof!.

[@SevenMetalCrosses]

Gotta say im loving Innistrad. I wasnt around for the original, but this set seems pretty refreshing as opposed to BFZ and Oath.

[@NameEntry]

It's about the same as the original just with different keywords.

[@ashzciwobuz1277]

+Bobbynibbles and much less powerful

[@NameEntry]

Ash Aman How so?

[@swolegolisopod7340]

+Ash Aman I would say that the power was more shifted than lowered. vampires got a little more love, werewolves definitely got much needed respect, zombies ate a bit weaker imo and humans are a lot more grindy than they used to be

[@ashzciwobuz1277]

Bobbynibbles Where is snapcaster and liliana also I think this set is more a draft enviroment

[@nelsongibson114]

I've waited so long for this! Thank You!

[@FantusyFailure]

Anyone else try to watch the first version and immediately get told the video was down? Yay for booster box game!!!!

[@MrAzrealDragon]

Woot Love the booster box game wished more people did this. I thought my Booster Box was pretty average, I guess 3 Planeswalkers and 2 Westvail Abbeys in the same box must be above average by the look of this video.

[@MrAzrealDragon]

Still not had a single - Thing in the ice - or - Archangel Avacyn - yet tho two cards on my to get list.

[@Coren024]

Something to note, as of this comment, there is 1 uncommon that is over the $2.00 threshold, Duskwatch Recruiter is about $2.75 tcg mid. I don't think it would have made a difference as I only managed to spot 1 in the first box, but in the future it may be worth it to look out for high priced uncommons.

[@JsnowTTV]

Great music choice i needed this

[@BrettMack44]

Wooooo new booster box game

[@Viktor47917]

Back at one point in the past, at 1 card shop Nahiri, the Harbinger went even higher than Avacyn! Try seeing Nahiri go at $50 for 2 days compared to Avacyn at $25! Dude, Nahiri, the Harbinger is one of the massive cheat cards in Shadows Over Innistrad! Nahiri doesn't just go Red and White Mana, but also goes with Blue, Green and Black mana as well!! Besides, only 2 turns and you got Nahiri at an 8 Loyalty Counters! Next turn, bring ANY creature or artifact from your damn deck out to the battlefield for an immediate attack! Man, Nahiri is a strong Planeswalker unexpected, but still goes good with Arlinn Kord from that set as well! Still gotta complete my Nahiri/Arlinn Tag-Team Planeswalker Deck...

[@russelldavies160]

I love this game and seeing alot of different and great scot the professor time traveled on box 2 it was brilliant

[@tiltedchatot]

So what I learned from these opening videos, from various KZbinrs, is that if you record yourself opening packs you get great stuff (As I'm typing this he pulling Thing in the Ice).

[@forbespurcell1408]

The recording of pack opening is irrelevant to the cards contained inside, I purchased my first booster box ever and Got 2 westvale 1 sorin 1 Nahiri 1 Arlinn 1 thing in the ice 1 declaration (there was 4 mythics, 3 foil rares)

[@mtgmight353]

This was uploaded on my birthday!!!

[@richardOMTWheatley]

Dear professor As a blind MTG fanatic I watch all your videos, and with the booster box game I make no exceptions. Are use the pins to count how many successes you have, but it would be far easier and more enjoyable if you could include small audio notations, just the name of the card and its price. It would be reasonably easy to pitch your voice to match the mood of the music, so this shouldn't be too disruptive to other people's viewing, you could even invite the cartographer to perform the voice-over. Yours sincerely Richard Wheatley

[@TheVejh]

Love these booster box games :)

[@nickwolf6781]

I'm just waiting for a triple-mythic-pack.

[@humblehoward]

Now I have to wait until July for yhe next booster box game. My favourite opening on youtube, thanks Professor.

[@brianwise5850]

we can always talk him into a special edition for eternal masters.

[@buddykiller]

gotta love double those double mythic packs

[@PlaneswalkerProject]

One thing I am curious to see is how will the prices change once these sets rotate out? As we've seen with the original Zendikar and Innistrad sets, there were cards that now fetch $50+ pricetags. I wonder if we will see this in any sets in Standard in a few years.

[@yyeahsure]

No brain in a jar price? Come on prof!

[@aperson8675]

It's priceless ;P

[@razorx540]

2.88 tcg mid

[@WinstonKillDeath]

His pickled cerebralness is not happy with the professor! $2.88

[@Karthedis]

+Jack Seiffert I love Brain in a Jar. :) I have a Devil-Deck with that card.^^

[@gubaguy]

"I on ly have to sell half a dozen cards" Puts 7 on screen...

[@ollo_yt]

Well since a dozen means 12, 7 is pretty much half a dozen

[@martypunker]

He teaches English, not Math.

[@lightspeedasH]

pulled a foil kenji and cheon in same pack value town right there :3

[@radioactivegecko8178]

I had an Idea for the booster box game, if you win and go over the needed 100$x, still sell all the money and put it to the next box and so on, I think this would make the game longer and more enjoyable to viewers

[@Nr4747]

Shadows over Innistrad is actually pretty fair value for what most places ask for each booster - but the set, like many, is insanely top heavy and I just don't see too many of the cards increase in value like stuff like Shocklands, Fetchlands etc. do. I personally "lucked out" and got slightly more than my money back from buying a Fat Pack (not great value for money if you don't consider the box, the lands, the spin down die and the guide - which I personally value quite highly) and 4 overpriced boosters at my LGS, paying 48 € in total and getting 2 Avacyns, 1 Westvale Abbey, 1 Gitrog Monster and 1 Seasons Past out of the deal, and cashing them out at roughly 53 €.

[@bigmrsmush1492]

"It's Wednesday, May 9th!" /Wednesday, May 11th ಠ__ಠ

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Hey, I got 2/3

[@dakotagore9601]

+Munchkin GamingHD he has vids on that

[@asomelord]

honestly seeing how good SOI is doing now I kinda wanna fast forward to right before Eldrich Moon and again after it rotates out to see if it'll hold any value in Modern or possibly EDH

[@NefashusLP]

Wow so many foils!

[@jabbernaut52733]

Hey Professor, have you seen how the card you spoiled for SOI is being played in the emerging dredgevine decks in Modern?

[@thaddaeuswagner5000]

Hey TCC. The second box brain in a jar wasn't included in the pricing. I looked up the medium price on tcgplayer and it was like $ 2.80 on may 9th the time was 10:24 or, so. I mean its not gonna change anything, but still I figured you would want to know.

[@thirstydogMTGtcg]

Avacyn always helps! :-D

[@Inglonias]

maybe keep a running total pf the number of packs youve opened in the future?

[@ClampEEGEE]

Keeping your foil Preview card from the first box? Can't say I blame you, professor. :P

[@tobiasoliveira1160]

damn man i love all your videos, i am new to the channel and love your work, keeo going ☺👑

[@pierceblokhine9487]

why wasn't triskaidekaphobia not $13.13?

[@leogir1518]

we only wish

[@martypunker]

It's more likely to just be thirteen cents.

[@pierceblokhine9487]

well I've won 13 games so it must be busted

[@bradleyducote4533]

I like watching the booster box games on your channel, can you tell me which one that you opened the most booster boxes on? Thanks

[@KreuzDrache]

This feels like really high fps. Not that I am complaining, I wish more shows were at this level of frames per second.

[@akosesthoth3707]

Wish you had a pack counter so we can easily tell what number pack your on.

[@Myurridthaekish]

I need that mat!

[@oriattackwillperkins.1355]

Wow that first box was good

[@Vandalizer1231]

Hey Professor, you rocked May 9th for Monday and Wednesday lol. Feeling a long week?

[@benclark6841]

Where did that relentless dead come from? I didn't notice a screw up in any of the packs....

[@CrimsonFox36]

Arlinn Kord is pretty hot! and her human form isnt bad either.

[@KhanGarth]

good, but once again Prof, can we have a "packs remaining" counter?

[@theunprofesional1890]

Professor, have you seen the new info about Kaladesh? What are your thoughts about the new set bundle, and the planeswalker decks, as well as removing fat packs? Do you think they will be something good for new players, or not?

[@legocolecter28]

Where'd that relentless dead card come from at the end?

[@krisdaschwab912]

I just pulled a pack three days ago with both Tireless Tracker and the Abbey. Strange.

[@andreiasistido5868]

Prof: It's wednesday May 9th! Me: But it says the 11th :I

[@TheNutCase657]

Hi Professor! How does it feel to have your shadows over innistrad preview card almost single handedly make Dredge powerful again? :D

[@lewissosa5769]

PROF PROF, make a video about all the casual formats in magic please :V like type 4 and pirate commander

[@GEM4sta]

Is it possible for you, or maybe one of the fans, to keep a running total of your average $ loss per booster pack? Or the average value of a booster pack would be equivalent. I think that would be really interesting.

[@mikeseitz1381]

2:11 pretty sure that's a dustwatch recruiter which is about $2.50

[@andrewtetris9450]

What was with the relentless dead at the end?

[@Pyoromo]

10:23 you forgot the price on that one

[@stalkerorstalker]

where did the endless ranks come from at the end?

[@jasperschragel-rietz6832]

I agree with Matt M, the old music was the best

[@karlswanson8594]

If I got the first booster box I would b so happy

[@daniele4375]

Is there a chance your gonna take another look/explain why alot of people are having quality issues with the KMC Sleeves?

[@HimAgainFTW]

Hey got a quick question, do you wait until you sell all your cards and then buy another booster box? Great vid`s Btw im addicted hahaha keep up the great work! Greetings from Germany :)

[@pops91]

PROFESSOR MAGIC LISTENED TO YOUR SUGGESTIONS, EVERYTHING FROM FATPACKS TO INTRO DECKS ARE BEING REDONE, WE DID IT WE MADE THE CHANGE!!!!!!!!!

[@92berek]

7:56 Wednesday, May 9th!

[@cobyscrudder1639]

You pulled an oath of Gideon in a Gideon pack. :)

[@antoniebrongers1055]

SO MUCH VALUE WITH THAT FOIL HARNESS THE STORM

[@ColinRichardsonMUSIC]

What happened to the latest deck box video, Professor?

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

+Yellow Cab Records Had to take it down to fix an audio error. Will be back up very shortly.

[@ColinRichardsonMUSIC]

+Tolarian Community College Then I'll await it patiently. Will we be hearing your thoughts on the major announcement by Wizards?

[@etaikurtzman3525]

What was the relentless dead at the end?

[@jamesconroy5726]

It's wednesday, may 9th!

[@RangerSquid]

Hey TCC, i was wondering where you got your playmat??? It looks so cute and i want it c: Please reply with at least the website :)

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

+13firegod www.cardamajigs.com/

[@RangerSquid]

Thank you!!!

[@Antonin1738]

+Tolarian Community College I don't see any playmats on their site

[@CutieCoombs]

+13firegod dont know if i would call Grave Titan cute

[@guftders]

+eric coombs He means the fish one at the beginning (I hope :p )

[@zeroravager4379]

what was with the relentless dead from shadows at the end?

[@coreysierchio4650]

+ZERO Ravager "Obviously, he paid a swamp & returned it from the graveyard."

[@thelokitheory3088]

hey professor what happened? It showed this video in my feed 4 hours ago and then it seemed to of disappeared off your channel until you uploaded it again.

[@tombulous]

I know you normally do only rares and mythics but there are uncommons in the set that are over your $2 price tag, namely duskwatch recruiter.

[@alls0p69]

One up if you love the foil Prized Amalgam pull for the Prof!

[@aegisofhonor]

best to sell the bulk for credit, any "cheap" rares from their buy list, and use that AND the money you make off the "money rares" to get more boxes, you actually have a MUCH higher chance of "making" money off booster boxes by doing this then just ONLY selling "valuable" rares and counting everything else as a total loss.

[@3158-b7z]

Could you give us some commentary on the cards? Like if you think they'll see any modern/legacy/standard play and why they would be that price?

[@chronojack7547]

brain in a jar is seeing standard play. but I have seen some people play it in legacy with some success

[@chronojack7547]

brain in a jar is seeing standard play. but I have seen some people play it in legacy with some success

[@3158-b7z]

What? It was a suggestion to the professor.

[@chronojack7547]

+Dylan Koch I thought you meant in general :P

[@3158-b7z]

Haha, all good man. I just like these unboxing videos as something to hear in the backround.

[@TheRealK33N]

Do you think you could to a fatpack game to compare it to a booster box

[@inghat16]

professor, what are you doing with your flameblade angels? i may have a small (over 30) collection of them and am always looking for more

[@triforce228]

Prof, what's that second to last card in the first pack? It's looks like a card you use in a test deck where every card has 10 different cards on it. I haven't bought any SoI packs so I have no clue what that card is.

[@LapahnYT]

ERMAGERD BRAIN IN A JAR GOT SKIPPED

[@FishTacoAG]

I was wondering: what recording equipment do you use? In terms of cameras, microphones, etc.

[@strictlyworse_mk7108]

Did you miss that relentless dead in the Arlinn pack?

[@WinstonKillDeath]

I thought the game trail came from the Arlinn pack.

[@kidpool9886]

Hello professor i love your channel. I have a question for you. do you play any other ctg?

[@kylemitchell2052]

hey professor, why not include some uncommons like duskwatch recruiter, that are seeing constructed play and are worth at least a couple dollars. other than that, great music

[@Antonin1738]

Yay!

[@xLycaNinjax]

Was this re-uploaded?

[@NateRowand-jo2rf]

Was the old one wrong with math somewhere?

[@FFXIK]

+Astrolonim Deimond In the old one at 2:30 when he pulled Westvale Abbey. Listed it at 10.58, total rose $40 though.

[@aidancampbell808]

who had the pink glove on?
