@@abbc2105 we thought about adding that to the top ten, but, the downside there is that none of the cards are really playable, you know? I mean, sometimes Genie, I guess. So, it’s hit or miss. And we’ve actually started to see the price creep up on the secondary. So, not a bad gift at all, but, didn’t crack the top 10, ultimately. As always, thanks for watching! ❤️

You all are awesome! Thanks so much for joining us!

That’s awesome! You’ll have to send us your list!

@ best way to do it?

@ ummm…probably email. illumiteers@gmail.com :)

@@kevuwevu he is amazing! And an awesome human being. Thanks for watching. If you’re interested, we did a more recent interview with him do deep dive one of his more recent cards - Ursula Deceiver of All (Enchanted). It’s a great watch!

@@ttvgrims7 if you play Magic, picking up Lorcana will be fairly easy for you. At least, the basic rules. Strategy is a bit different, but, you’ll get it quickly. As for if tournaments are beginner friendly…depends on the tournament and the store. I will say, Set Championships (happen every three months at LGSs) are pretty approachable. And we’ve found that the Lorcana community tends to be pretty welcoming and inviting. So, we say dive in! Building a collection depends on your budget. Of course, booster boxes are fun to open and get you a lot of cards. But, like any TCG, you’ll still have to buy singles to finish out the deck you want to build. To start, we recommend finding a deck you would like to experiment with and buying the singles, to give it a go. Happy to chat more about decks and archetypes, if you like!

@@Ol_Dirty_Brasky oh, thank you SO much! If there is any other content you are looking for or would like to help you on your Lorcana journey, please let us know!

The mass market release has been delayed. They sold some at a few shows in Europe. Hopefully, they’ll be available for everyone soon!

@@reylxreyln7052 they did. We mention that in the video. But eventually, you will be able to buy them.

@@ArcticAppleKoolAid what would you have preferred to help you make your decision? Less descriptive language?

@@Illumiteers maybe less scripted and views communicated casually at some points?

@ fair. There are reasons we end up scripting vs. not scripting various videos and some of it comes down to recording times. With full time jobs and an infant, we often end up recording at 10pm or later. Scripting means we can read and is much, much quicker when we are exhausted after long days. When time is a factor, this sometimes factors into our decisions. That’s not to say that this drives all of our creative decisions. Some videos lend themselves to a casual approach rather than scripting. Some, we feel, can go either way. With this one, time was a factor for a variety of reasons, so, we went with this approach, but still feel like we got across the major points we wanted to make. But I understand how this approach can come across. Point taken.

@@Illumiteers I can see how it may "feel" a bit scripted (which may lean some to mean not as authentic) but the fact you tested the lorcana logo, found it had issue, then told the viewers is an excellent demonstration that you are offering real views on the products. As someone who used to review hundreds of products on TH-cam and would do the same, kudos to you.

Thank you so much! Prooooobably the best box I’ve ever opened, Lorcana wise.

@@fightinsightpodcast so, 100 cards double sleeved is standard these days because of Commander in MtG. So, basically what happened is Ultra-Pro reskinned a design they currently use. I don’t mind this call so much. Double sleeved, there is a bit of wasted space, but, you don’t have to cram the cards in there. I’ve seen this criticism, but, I don’t mind that decision so much. It doesn’t feel bad. Not sure how a detachable coin would work…but some other companies build a tray in the bottom to store dice and things. Could have done that, I suppose.

@Illumiteers thus the issue i think many of us take with it. The re-skin makes it look taylor-made, but it's not. It's lazy and doesn't respect the source material.

I like the size. I would not want it if it was smaller or bigger.

@danw6485 after your 60card deck, what you doing with the rest of the space?

It is for double and triple sleeved cards.

Agreed.

The board is pretty cool, honestly. They really did a fantastic job with this product. Spared no expense, IMO.

Cheap spray can of matt varnish will prob solve that issue if you do change your mind.

@@MrLemonaiden that could work but I would be concerned for how it would make the binder feel over time. If it was something I wouldn't handle often or slide into a backpack that may be worth considering.

@@suitcaseandyourdream that’s a good idea. I will say, the deck box is pretty stunning.

@@herky1002 oh wow. I’ve seen 3 legendary boxes but never 2…that’s painful. We can send some Illumiteers ink tokens as a consolation prize…if it helps…

That...is rough. I wish that on no one. Hope your next box is a monster!

We're happy to send over a channel sticker as a consolation prize?

@@wesleytyrer5222 thank you!!!

@@LoreontheCob thank you! To be fair, most of what we open on camera is…not good. This felt pretty amazing. That foil legendary was just the icing on the cake. How were your pulls?

@@thexmagnusx8849 oh, thank you! They are pretty fun…and they give us an excuse to open some product! 😅

@@MamaHosler oh! Which one?

@ is that not a playmat in the background that your opening the packs on? If not it should be…so pretty. 😃. Also, snagged Elsa playmat for Rylee…knew the Elsa art would be a playmat as soon as I saw it 😍

@ oh! We used two different ones. That first one is by Cristian Romero!

@@Illumiteersyea see that now. Just got Erin’s part of the video 😅

I have to double check, but, it HAS to be, right?

Thanks! It was such a pleasure getting to know him. Thanks for watching the video!

@@naturallynani4 same!!!!

@@JGSali thank you!!! Honestly, not sure. Wouldn’t hurt to ask!
