We Opened FORTY TWO Lorcana Blister Packs! | What are the Odds?
Are the odds of hits in individual Lorcana blister packs better than in booster boxes?
We opened a blister case to find out. After opening 42 sleeves packs, we compared the odds of pulling big hits to the odds of pulling the same hits on booster boxes. The results are…surprising?

I would trade ANY DAY having less Super Rares than expected, to get the amount of legendaries you did! 😮😮 This was EPIC!!! And super congrats with the enchanted pull. Hercules is a beauty! Now I am reconsidering my whole life, with booster cases vs blister cases. You ruined me! 😂😂
My whole life I thought people were just misspelling booster packs. Did not think "blister" was intentional!
@@batlynn7178 haha, yes. We use them to differentiate between the packs meant for individual sale and those that come in booster boxes. It may seem like a silly distinction, but, it does matter in some scenarios! 😅
Doin some hard pack science 🧪
@@jazzflute Trying 😅🧐
@@Illumiteers it’s a tough job 😉 but someone gotta do it!
@@jazzflute I mean…I wouldn’t use the term “hero”…but if others want to…
@@Illumiteers type of thing that earns you a Medal of Heroes!
May need to open more of those.
@@abbc2105 it’s…fun!
How do u have 51 puppies? I thought u could only have 4 copies of any 1 card.
Hey Alex! Tail Wagger is the one exception to this rule in Lorcana. It has an ability that says - “You can have up to 99 copies of Tail Wagger in your deck.”
When we see Illumineers cooking up this type of deck, we truly see how fun and all the potential of Disney Lorcana. This is the type of fun that we often miss when just focusing on win ratios, and forgetting about all of the other amazing synergies. We are really happy for her and for sticking to what she found fun. 💜Super cool video! Can't wait to try this deck out! Thanks for sharing it!
I love the deck, and I run a version of it at my LGS,I use Isabella to quest for 4 while Bruno uses his effect to gain 3 lore.
Oh, I love the idea of adding Isabella! I’ll have to try this out. I think these types of “off meta” decks are a ton of fun. But puppies are getting more and more difficult to get, I hear! 😅
@@Illumiteers if you need, I have a ton of extra puppies lol
@@Dragonia9 I…may take you up on that… I’m still short!
@@Illumiteers let me know how many you need, and I'll put some to the side for you.
So many... I mean...a few to get to 51. A bunch to get to 99!
Very interesting. I feel like this was what the designers intended with Tail Wagger; a kinda strange, but really intriguing and fun deck. Also, there is definitely a way to break this.
It's definitely a fun use of the card. I like seeing some of these unused cards finding these weird niches. It's lovely!
I want to play with this deck, I might have to mess with it the idea when ch5 comes out this month
Keep us posted! Let us know how it goes!
I love this 😅Good for her
Thank you! We just loved the story so much!
I've preordered this in the UK and I'm so excited to finally learn how to play it as someone who's new to Lorcana and trading card games! I've started collecting some boosters. One question, if the board acts as a playmat do you think think you'd need to buy a separate one or could you use the board each time? I like your Moana one.
Great question! So...for the purposes of playing gateway, the board acts as a playmat. So, you don't need one yet. But, once you're ready to venture beyond gateway to play other decks, I would recommend purchasing a playmat for ease of travel. You can always use the board as a two player playmat. However, it is difficult to travel with, if that makes sense. Keep us posted on your Lorcana journey!
Mat got a name drop.
Deservedly so!
Fantastic interview with Shane and loving the show. Keep up the great work!
Love the video, thx! and i started with the dalmatians deck and i love that defender pluto, and we are at the moment playing structure decks torunaments on tuesday, on the local store.
One year is incredible!👏👏
Congratulations on one year! You guys are one of the first Lorcana channels I found, and have been super important to the community. From discussing everything from competitive, interviewing artist and players, commentating and posting recording of games, you have been leaders in this community. Thank you for everything, and happy anniversary!
This is great. I just picked it up!
Thanks for the unboxing! I'm glad they made this similar to a regular board game, especially with the quality of the box and the board. Very nice and probably more what people were hoping for with the Illumineer's Quest (although I enjoyed upgrading it on my own anyway).
Totally agree. It’s definitely done right!
yikes
Are the cards in this box legal to play in standard games? Trying to get my partner into the game and I know some card games release promo non legal decks
These are all legal in standard games :) Honestly, especially at the price point, I can’t think of a better way to get someone into the game. You’ll have to keep us posted if you pick up Gateway and if works for your partner!
Great reveal!!! Awesome costuming!
Honestly, absolutely raising the bar on card reveals! Fantastic 🙌🏻
SUCH AN EPIC REVEAL!!!
Okay, Liam! That’s what I call dedication to the bit! Great video. Erin also looked good in her Anna cosplay.
@@abbc2105 haha, thanks so much! It was quite the endeavor! 😅😊
Also any card that draws are card has me excited for draft 😂
Right???
That costume is HORRIFYING 😂❤
@@BeOurGuestHeath horrifyingly awesome?
@@Illumiteers uhhhh.. yes. Sure. We’ll go with that 😂❤️
Well done! We appreciate your dedication and positive support for Lorcana!
@@wrestlingtheworld thank you so much! That really means a lot 😊
It's the same thing as Pokemon Battle Academy. It's not very exciting tbh.
@@cstorvold I mean, not terribly exciting for established players. But for someone just strolling through Target who has never heard of Lorcana, it could be a great product, no?
@@Illumiteers No they will feel like they wasted their money very quickly.
I would say the non inclusion of boosters is to keep collectors from buying up gateways for shots at enchanted cards. If they included first chapter boosters the resale market would be going crazy with these.
@@brandong4063 definitely think you’re right. They’ve left zero reason for established players to buy the game, except to teach folks how to play. And there is no reason to purchase multiple.
Very glad to have met you in Dallas, keep up the awesome content!
It was nice meeting you as well! We try our best…Thanks so much for the support 😊
I am left-handed too and I put my Deck on the right side too
Great video! I’m left-handed and put my deck on the left.
Lefty here! I put my deck on the right side, I draw cards/play with my right hand and hold them in my left.
Another Lefty here….Deck always on my left…
Southpaw here: deck always goes on the left
Nice breakdown of the box.
As a right handed person… I put my deck on the right.
As a right handed person I put my deck on the left so I can hold my cards in my right hand and draw for turn with my left.
As someone who has to test decks by himself more often than not, I put the decks on the left and right side and use both my left and right hands to draw cards. 😂
@@Amberlisi I mean I don’t see how there’s an obvious way to do this. My motor skills are more than sufficient enough to hold cards with my left hand. 😂
@@KrisPBaconnnI don't doubt your motor skills, hun 😘 I'm saying to each their own. But also, are you sure you're not left handed? 🤔
Would have thought the packs would have been opened as well.
That’s fair. We’re just always sensitive to spoiling things for products with unlock-able components. I know we could have added a spoiler warning. However, we chose to gear the video to people considering whether to purchase the game and didn’t think the pack components would matter. But! If most viewers would prefer we examine every component in videos like these, we’ll take that into consideration next time. Thanks for the feedback!
@Illumiteers I understand where you're coming from, but as someone who sees a "Should you buy it?" It's hard to come to a conclusion without seeing everything included. We can't really use the unboxing thumbnail when we don't actually open everything. I appreciate the partial opening.
I collect Pokémon but I really want to learn how to play lorcana
Wait I’m incredibly confused. On his first podcast episode, he said he’s never played Pokémon as a card game ever before? What’s going on? Not sure what I’m missing here.
I’m…not sure! Haven’t listened to his podcast just yet. 😅
@@Illumiteers take a listen it’s great!
@@Illumiteers update: mystery solved. I believe it’s 2 diff Zach’s 😅
@@trebleclef13 that explains it!
Is than an Alex Morgan Jersey?
I, like many, are not opposed to some errata for Bucky. Our issue was absolutely how much was done. And for me, the bigger concern is what'll this mean for the future. I don't believe this was a one and done. That interview with Bob was awesome!
@@MrMac6375 we’ve heard this from so many people. I’m hoping it is a one time thing due to market expansion. We’ll see what the future holds!
Showed the wrong card at 14:50
Is no one gonna comment on how his room walls are painted like a pokeball??
I was literally thinking it the WHOLE time!
Merlin is my favorite because it combines two of my favorite mechanics: card draw and bouncing
@@PyckledNyk truth. It’s a great deck…and bouncing is so fun.
Loved doing the Bucky art on the fan video! Never thought Bucky would be band so quick!
@@miguelmelendezmedina5671 it’s fantastic work! Loved the art SO much!
Thanks for the shout out Liam! The art really is incredible, Nicholas knocked it out of the park here!
Hey! Thanks for the great reveal! I was a little spot getting the link posted in the show notes…but it’s there now!
How do u communicate to the lorcana judge rules committee, if any. About the location and lores off them. When an opponent misses the lore off them. And continues playing cards. And then it has to go back 3 turns to give them back the lore. Cause triggers missed should be more understood.
Using the Tremaine shift and then bouncing both cards back to hand sounds like a cool play I haven't even thought of
That move won me so many games in Inklands. Play Tremaine to banish. If she lives, quest her for 2, shift to banish, bounce both back to hand
The Branch is the same design on the Back of the Card. It appears to be a 9 or 6 upside down.
