"The Moonbase is full of packs." So what you're saying is that it's packed.

[@thoop6795]

...

[@ShadowReignhart]

As long as there isn't any self-replicating rats among them, it should be fine.

[@Mother_boards]

"You ever been choked by viscera? Looks offal." I like to think this pun was intentional.

[@natetwehues2428]

Knowing G almost certainly.

[@LRRMTG]

yup :)

[@lysandersalamander3708]

I never knew "offal" was pronounced that way until watching LRR's Commodore Hustle Halloween episode, where it featured prominently. Apparently the USA have their own way of pronouncing it. Or it's one of those things where people read it and make assumptions on how it's pronounced?

[@MichaelMoore99]

"Niblis is also the most expensive card in the pack, tied with foil Convolute." Grapple with the Past: Am I a joke to you?

[@FanOfMostEverything]

"Hey, wasn't there supposed to be some horrible tentacle thing over here? Or maybe Ulrich?" "Look, we're on in five and the chilly ghost already knows its lines. We're rolling with it."

[@thoop6795]

Hey look! Its the nicknames guy!

[@Bleesotron]

Make a Wish/Grapple with the Past was just one of the insane number of artistic stories told on the cards. Basically every werewolf was a self-contained two-art mini-story, Endless Ranks of the Dead and Relentless Dead, the normal and promo art for Anguished Unmaking, etc. This set, along with the other Innistrad block, was really where I started nerding out about artistic storytelling in Magic.

[@Sparkl3beech]

Favorite Plane! Never thought being called a wretched gryff would feel so satisfying...

[@TheOnlyDragonGod]

Same I started playing at eldritch Moon and have a soft spot for it in my heart

[@Quiltfish]

Definite top 2. Just waiting for a scars booster and my top 5 will all have been crack-a-packed... cracked-a-pack?

[@GrZandona]

Fun fact: Falkenrath reaver is the first Vanilla (No effect) "Bear" (2/2 for 2) on red. Before it every 2/2 for 2 on mono red had either a "negative" effect if it costed one colorless and one red or a regular effect if it costed 2 red mana

[@hiimemily]

First bear by color: White: Knight Errant (Human Knight, _Portal,_ 1997) Blue: This space intentionally left blank. (wotc pls) Black: Walking Corpse (Zombie, _Innistrad,_ 2011) Red: Falkenrath Reaver (Vampire, _Eldritch Moon,_ 2016) Green: Grizzly Bears (Bear, _Limited Edition Alpha,_ 1993)

[@Totma]

@@hiimemily how have they not printed a blue bear

[@CSDragon]

4:30 Enlightened maniac was really good because he was amazing emerge fodder. This guy let you get your Wreched Gryff down for 1U while still leaving behind a 3/2 body.

[@DimT670]

And dat blink value

[@sbelfroid]

Really like this relaxed chatting about the cards

[@munhozcesar]

Another reason for engagement is the t-shirt. I love that LRR takes a stand year-round.

[@MakeVarahHappen]

I never get why I would want to watch C-A-P but I'm never disappointed when I do.

[@slowmo56]

same. i'm astonished how enjoyable these are. Graham is low-key crushing it.

[@treybooher9608]

2 and a white for everybody's favorite, Boon of Emrakul!

[@flannelshirtenthusiast4159]

I wish I was still playing Magic when this set came out, the flavour is absolutely my jam

[@lexslate2476]

"Ever been choked by viscera? Looks offal." - Whooof.

[@KevinOMalleyisonlysmallreally]

Having an unexpected person show up while opening a cthullu inspired set would have freaked me out.

[@lysandersalamander3708]

I like when they tell a story with the cards, through the art and the mechanics. The call-backs to the previous Innistrad block were pretty cool too.

[@mikeyjhilli]

These crack-a-packs have become a reaction video. Not that I'm complaining. They're entertaining. Keep them coming.

[@chifii]

I really wanted the second rare to be flipped upside-down on the close-up shot.

[@brendaneichler5244]

11:58 *pushes up nerd glasses* As you can see, Grapple with the Past is actually $0.25, making it a whole 2 cents more expensive than the Niblis. Gee, I hope someone was fired over that mistake! /s

[@SamuraiSwordify]

Oh yes that pack crinkling asmr is the LRR content I am totally here for today

[@N8Maple01]

"Peace of Mind" was also a madness/delirium enabler.

[@quintindegroot7710]

I'm glad there was recognition of how important the pack-opening asmr is. It's a little scary how fast the endorphins came when that noise came through the speakers

[@twarnold14]

I really enjoy these crack-a-pack. It’s so relaxing to just hear someone talk about random cards like this.

[@alexjudd2370]

After Friday Nights, this may be the finest thing that LRR has ever released.

[@alexjudd2370]

Though, I will say, more Friday Nights please.

[@estebanrodriguez5409]

I love when a card makes a call back to another card!

[@Antimuffin]

It's weird how the crack a pack segment of TTC is something I tend to skip, but these videos I'm somehow constantly interested. These are great, thank you. 😀

[@ignaciogallarati7287]

It would be fun, maybe, to get Cam and Nelson on small windows beside you, to give their usual 2cents about their experiences with the cards back in the day. The position of the table is dope. Keep up with the good stuff!

[@ricato2]

I'm enjoying this collection of "Graham making faces" we're getting through these thumbnails. Someone should make like a slideshow at some point

[@jmiz69420]

This is my favorite content you guys have created in years. Please keep doing these. That background music is just *chefskiss*

[@Bl4eberry]

"Boon of Emrakul, 2 and a white for..." that doesn't sound like a white card. Oh.

[@stepel7897]

I would love to have the card up on the screen for the entire duration that you are talking about it so that we can admire the art as you talk about the art.

[@kilo3989]

Oh my gosh I'm so glad we're doing more of these!

[@SgtDax]

"You're all so smart and attractive." Oh, G, you make me blush.

[@GreatgoatonFire]

This is such a great nibble of MTG content.

[@dakotacampbell9936]

I will continue to listen to the words coming out of your mouth for these helpful strategy tips. And engage with this content because it is good content

[@The5lacker]

The big advantage for Enlighted Maniac in limited was you could feed it to a card with Emerge and still have the 3/2 main body. Big tempo advantage, most Emerge monsters were chonky bois.

[@DeronHargrove]

My first crack a pack after watching 2 pre-prereleases. This is great stuff. Love how MtG has these references to other cards

[@VAB0L0]

I have no clue why, but this set was absolutely riddled with packaging oddities. Most infamously, you could easily map packs by opening a couple, spotting which had good rares, and open every third pack behind it for all of the box's valuables. We had to instore a company policy of shuffling EDM boosters when we opened new display boxes at my LGS!

[@BurleyBoar]

As a bear, hearing Graham say woof like that really threw me, doubly so as it wasn't for a big beardy creature. ^_^

[@skuddstevens]

Aesthetically, this is probably my favorite set in all of Magic. Can't wait to see it on Arena eventually.

[@maddoraptor]

Love to see a Crack-a-Pack go up on my birthday! Another great vid!

[@CmdrUD87]

I remember that white rare. Had 2 of them in my prerelease packs. It did not go well

[@CozyTCG]

Lol “Looks Offal”. Yep. You said that lmao

[@laneedgington]

Whooo! More Crack-a-Pack

[@parentalcon]

Good job, Cori!

[@munhozcesar]

Engaging not only for the sake of engaging, but because I'm really loving this series.

[@piguy5684]

Brainstorming idea: Have you considered naming the episode "Weird Rare!"

[@LRRMTG]

Nice

[@pyredynasty]

Top 15 cards in this pack. Number 14 will astound you.

[@pyredynasty]

I can relate to delirium, I also have too much in my graveyard. But then that just happens when you live long enough. That got darker than I had planned, but I guess the algorithm accepts all sorts of offerings.

Can’t wait to go back to Innistrad soon! Also loving this series

[@sredfield7425]

This series is incredibly entertaining

[@Dragonroot95]

Shoutout to Emrakul for literally destroying me in draft too many times

[@TheOkoon]

"Shoutout to cory for the edit" . . . Credits roll and matt is listed as editer . . . love it

[@TheArcSet]

Thank you for this video. A discard outlet that doesn't tap, that _could_ be useful. And Niblis certainly is a great card.

[@Flutterstorm]

I'm waiting for the compilation of all Grahams crack-a-pack greetings

[@1984Hightower]

Loved Shadows over Innistrad. I am still playing my werewolf deck out of this era on my kitchentable. Unfortunately I missed Prerelease on Eldritch Moon due to illness. This is what I remember.^^

[@RANDomstuff0709]

That intro made me crack up

[@frankieh]

This literally didn't show up in my subs but did show up today in my recommendations. KZbin is so weird.

[@LRRMTG]

I blame KZbin. KZbin kinda sucks.

[@vanhelsingfan1]

Graham didn't mention how 26 is 13x2.

[@LRRMTG]

I dunno that sounds made up

[@distractdelude7121]

Is the edit shout out low-key turning into a bit now? I swear that's the second time Cori got the shout on a Matt edited crack-a-pack 😂

[@LRRMTG]

Cori did edit this one… the credits are wrong :(

[@Kryptnyt]

Duskfusker sounds demonetizable. Niblis sounds like a form of Ligma

[@Dataloss484]

Man I miss eldrich moon... Just posted the same under the Prof's vid about opening innistrad booster boxes. It was my first ever set that I went full ham on. still have my emmy

[@bassecat2940]

I love these so much

[@ronaldkantelberg]

Exciting! A new crack-a-pack! Engage!

[@karfsma778]

Enlightened Maniac was alright in the Emerge deck. the mana cost and body bein on two separate things meant you could sac it to emerge something without losing something you cared about much while also not having to pay a lot to get down nothing at all.

[@NotTooFoolish]

Taps and Island... Brainstorms... :P

[@wesley147208]

I've only seen Providence being played as a card to pitch to Force of Virtue. I guess we now have Solitude?

[@MSUHitman]

Boon of Emrakul on Dusk Feaster let me get the last hit in on a stalled board during game 3 of the final of the 1 sealed LCQ at GP Indy 2016 so I got the 2-round bye, & VIP Status for the rest of the weekend. I wonder if you guys ever opened my Eldrich Moon pack I gave you at PAX East I believe 18, I’ll have to find an archive list somewhere.

[@ThePrazzel]

dang, I need a Niblis of Frost in my feather deck

[@ThePrazzel]

just kidding, realised its a boros deck #facepalm

[@vnome]

Look at the dusky fusker.

[@Socooomfy]

Vodalian Mage from Fallen Empires You look like the mage on this card. Wow.

[@Hyp89]

I don’t remember Spring Sage Ritual either. 😳

[@Haseri8]

i like being part of the collaboration

[@megabubfish]

Very very cool... Very very Emrakul...

[@christopherlundgren1700]

Captain Kirk encountered a Sterin Gorn, when suddenly it became a Fightin Gorn. That's why you always want to avoid eye contact.

[@torreykat]

Ah that's the good stuff... ASMTGR

[@NStripleseven]

‘Cause providence is nawhhhhtttt… a carrrrrrdddddd…

[@lordofthecola]

aww, poor providence, a friend of mine has been collecting them for years i think hes has over 1000s now, once brought 400 to a signing just to see the artist reaction

[@lordofthecola]

he dident try to get all 400 signed just a play set

[@vincentmccue7481]

(Bah, the video changed before I could finish my post, that should be illegal) Anyways, Providence is neat because it is double 13, which is supposed to be super lucky, right? Shadows over Innistrad had cards that cared about the number 13.

[@TrylleBanjo]

The Shadows over Innistrad block really messed with me. Hard. I can do all types of horror, but horror where sanity erodes, bodies are twisted? That goes straight through to my heart and just does me in. I could *not* play this, and will never. It triggers me.

[@CaptainGreenHawk]

We do understand that Providence does two different things, right? Or it does the same thing at two different times? I think it would be pretty demoralizing to be facing off against someone and it triggers on turn one.

[@benwebb4424]

If the entire box is like that, that means the other double faced cards are somewhere and some other boxes rares ended up in this box. So now the question is, where is the box where every pack has 2 double faced cards but no non-double faced rares?

[@NStripleseven]

Wonder if that box’s second DFC is backwards/flipped

[@natetwehues2428]

Graham these are not meant to make me sad! Take my engagement and stop it, please.

[@hazerdoescrap]

Someone loaded the packing machines wrong. It's happened before. Found starter boxes of 5th where the lands didn't exist.... they were replaced with uncommon/rares.... Made a small profit by buying the boxes and selling singles back to the store with a couple of coworkers.... ;)

[@vantharion]

Cool pack. Could you have the cards on the screen for longer, or have them up alongside Graham?

[@GreenMonkeySam]

How is the production on these such high quality!?

[@CookiesLessenMyDepression]

Fun fact: the Liliana packs of Eldrich Moon were more likely to contain a mythic than the other pack arts.

[@MSUHitman]

Does that include Gisela?

[@CookiesLessenMyDepression]

@@MSUHitman I believe it was select mythics for the rare/mythic slot, the DFC slot could be any rarity in any pack

[@WizardOfDocs]

I remember Falkenrath Reaver being a big deal because red just didn’t get bears before then. Is that right?

[@Eramiserasmus]

Fun plane. Have this weird problem where every time I start these videos the audio doesn't sync right away.

[@nilocmirror]

I love that shirt

[@firetruckabc]

Oh I thought the rare would be from a different set

[@andrewl9191]

Well this was fun. I'm curious, is it easier to make the cut away to the card a still image or take like a 10 second video of it? Speaking on production. Like just take a still image with the camera, or record it but just not move the camera?

[@redrum704928]

How engaging
