Yo, I'm the guy that got a second sliver queen, got into magic about two months ago because of wubby, this was my first (and probably last) buy in lmao
Dude who bought 3 packs played the long game. Waited for the end of the box, no mox was pulled yet, knew his odds were better than anyone else's, came out on top. Smart play.
@Jake-cy7to Technically, yes. But the "chances" are higher. Let's say you were breaking a box of 7th Edition, got down to the last 4 packs, and hadn't hit a foil rare yet. Is it possible that there is no foil rare in the box? Yes. But if there IS a foil rare in the box, it will only be located in one of those last 4 packs. Those 4 packs would command a higher premium than the other packs that were opened. That's why most box breaks are randomized either by packs or by participants, to eliminate sniping when things that haven't been pulled yet have a higher potential of being pulled with fewer packs remaining.
@@sdoren_9074 This is gamblers fallacy at work, the only way to improve your chances this way would be either the pack distribution is known or you are allowed to carry your buy-in to future boxes perpetually AND there is set distribution of something like 'there are X amount of foil rares per box'. If none of those are true then there is no actual advantage to be had.
These are the original cards I remember learning this game in middle school. I remember pulling a Sliver Queen on my first try going for it. I had a much hated sliver deck in school. Very nostalgic seeing these cards.
That was actually a wild box. Even discounting the big hits, all the usual suspects were there. Most people would be happy with just stuff like Bridge and Dream Halls or even just one of the big hits.
One of my fav sets ever! Nice cards, good flavor, good art! This set was so small…I opened one box back in the day, mox, queen and two volraths strongholds….it’s almost party time guaranteed 😂
4:30 Dungeon Shade artwork is some Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark bullshit. I'd forgot about that card AND those books. Thanks for the nightmares for the next few days.
This has to be one of the best boxes of Stronghold ever opened! 1x Mox Diamond 2x Sliver Queen 1xVolraths Stronghold 1x Ensnaring Bridge Wubby can't pull shit, my god what a collection of banger pulls
when this set came out it was advertised a mox would be an auto include in a box (to sel the boxes) I remember we had the mox and 1 Queen, back in the day.
2:28 lol crazy that wubby doesn’t actually know how magic sets work. Nadu was released in MH3 recently, foundations was already designed and being printed out whenever MH3 released. Sets are as far out as 2 years being worked on and completed. So even if they did learn from nadu, you won’t see any design changes for a year or two. Glad I could teach wubby :)
I have a mox diamond mint I pulled from a booster like 20 years ago that I used in one deck together with lioneyes diamond. I already forgot about them until I saw that video.
Sliver Queen is good because you can go infinite with that ability, create slivers that can tap for mana and create more slivers. There's a reason the card is so expensive.
I know I'll get hate for this, but I wish wubby knew more about the history of these sets and magic in general. I've been playing since I was 7. So many of the cards he skips over because they are "bad" in today's magic ecosystem have a history of being really great back in the day with the cards that were available. The meta was such a different beast back then, and I wish some of the cards got more love. That is all.
i wasn't around then but i wish i was. i love learning more about the old meta and maybe building some decks online that are reminiscent of the days of sets like stronghold.
I feel the same way. I see new card spoilers and I just laugh at how over powered they are. Bitch, I spent perfectly good mana on banding and I liked it.
Sliver overlord is the best sliver. Queen is second because all the sudden you have a field full of trample haste everything else. I miss my sliver deck, lost in 2012 RIP
@@noddingout Did a quick search for legendary slivers that cost all 5 colors and they added sliver hivelord, which grants indestructible to your slivers. The first sliver, which gives sliver spells cascade/say you cast a 5 mana sliver after it you'll reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card that costs 4 or less and can cast it for free. Kind of nuts since your sliver spell can cascade into another sliver, which also cascades. Then sliver gravemother, which says the legend rule doesn't apply to your slivers and has some ability called encore and gives slivers in your graveyard encore, which lets you pay the manacost of sliver cards in your graveyard and exile them to create a token copy of said sliver for each opponent you can attack, gives them haste, and then the tokens are sacrificed at the end step.
@@noddingout I only added overlord as commander, queen (tokens), hivelord (indestructible) and Legion (coat of arms for slivers). THe first sliver was too strong for the deck, which already has infinite combos with Intruder Alarm, Aluren, Mana Echoes and Training Grounds, respectively.
This was super nostalgic! Bought a Stronghold box back during the Mirrodin block so I think it was priced around $200? I think a box of Mirrodin was $100 at the time so it was PRETTY expensive for a high school kid lol. Anyways, pulled a Queen and two Moxes :)

50th wubby video woo! Here's to 50 more. Cool to see this channel grow.

wubby the sliver queen ability is repeatable and they have all the abilities your other slivers give them. it's nutty
First Sliver better imo

This has to be one of the best boxes of Stronghold ever opened! 1x Mox Diamond 2x Sliver Queen 1xVolraths Stronghold 1x Ensnaring Bridge
Wubby can't pull shit, my god what a collection of banger pulls
And the best part was that he only called Mox Diamond the one time that he actually pulled it, he's the goat fr fr
Rudy opened 2x Mox Dimonds and 2x Sliver Queens from one box
good sales man. The acting is very good. It gets the people hype
This gives me flashbacks to when Rudy from Alpha Inveatments had two Mox Diamonds and Sliver Queens in a box. Insane stuff Mr Wubs
I love how many times Allux catches strays "bog wraith allux"
when this set came out it was advertised a mox would be an auto include in a box (to sel the boxes) I remember we had the mox and 1 Queen, back in the day.
Probably the sickest box I’ve seen, and I was there during prerelease 1998.
Rudy somehow opens an even better box.
Confrats on the 50th video what a legend
Insane set insane cycle, the true golden age of Mtg,incredible!
the scream pack almost made me shit my pants from laughing
A good friend gave me a box of assorted Stronghold cards that he found during a cleanout....scored a Queen and a Mox 🥰
thats what everyone says - wishful thinking
@eventhorizoneventhorizon2021 wishes do come true! It can happen to me, it can happen to you 🙏💝
@@Rabid_Wombat cool can you send me your cards ? THx
Darius?
Yeah?
Theres a goblin sneaking up on you.
Soo???

What does the mox 🔹 do?
I have that same playmat. Got it at Gencon this past summer. Absolutely love it
These sets had such good story telling!
I used to buy Stronghold when it was released, I had a mox diamond, not sure what happened to it. Great artwork in this era.
I have a mox diamond mint I pulled from a booster like 20 years ago that I used in one deck together with lioneyes diamond. I already forgot about them until I saw that video.

that center and surface defintely a 10.better than that 9.5 showed at the end
Commenting to support the use of an amazing playmat, i find it very engaging
The craziest thing is Rudy opens an even better box some years ago.
thank u for posting these! have a great night wubster
do the buyers also get the bulk cards or just the graded rare?
One of the funniest breaks and big pulls
does anyone know where wubby got the sticker on the mike stand, and also who that character is?
What a box Wubby, you have gotten my girlfriend and I into magic 😂 she is now asking when we can purchase another on stream card pull
What's one thing you can say watching Wubby crack packs and in the bedroom? Damn, what a box...
How do you buy in for these things?
You and the boys from MTG North should do a collab. It’d be effin awesome.
question, if I wanted to buy in to a pull how would I do that? I''d like to buy in for foundations :(
tempest block was fucking sick. it's when I started playing.
That, Urza's, and the Theros block are my favorites.
Almost couldn't tell he was joking about Sliverqueen being bad.
Sliver queen is not terrible when you have a bunch of other slivers out that buff your token.
Stormblessed…. Stormlight reference 🎉
Damn, Alluux catching a lot of strays in this video
I'm the Mox Diamon winner, yes I'm Scooty.
How to buy in?
How much is a box of that ? And how old is stronghold ?

@@DeiselsFadedit was a time before the internet and the only way you learned about new cards was by having them played on you.
I feel the same way. I see new card spoilers and I just laugh at how over powered they are. Bitch, I spent perfectly good mana on banding and I liked it.
U won’t get hate, cause you are right.
Lord Wubbert, please bring us more Mulligans
okay wait so the card that "counts" as a vampire how does that work. Is it like you can't target it as a vampire because of the condition or?
That was an INSANE BOX holy Shit!
Sliver overlord is the best sliver. Queen is second because all the sudden you have a field full of trample haste everything else. I miss my sliver deck, lost in 2012 RIP
Overlord is the best sliver commander. Queen is the OG mommy and the infinite engine (besides playing alluren and hibernation sliver)
@ I don’t wanna sound stupid but have they added more legendary slivers than legion overlord and queen? Idk what commander means lol

"Corvax"....unforgivable.
The first and hundredth time I’ve ever heard about drip 🤣
HE HAS THE FRENCH DELAY OMG LETS GOOOOOO that shit is 200+ RAW
Shouting Mox Diamond before every rare is a pretty inorganic way to farm shorts. Also Gorilla PP.
Man, I hope, that archive guy upload this stream soon
Amazing video!
GG’s Curly 🦾
That got me hyped! Hells yes.
Me and my friends opened 2 cases of this in highschool had a stack of mox diamonds lol
Too old for drip". How to get with straight up shiznit?
Low key wish you put a video like this out a day man you opening content is so good
ive pulled mox diamonds, yep
Man that's crazy. So when's the next Mulligans episode?
Rudy opened the best one, but this is 2nd.
This was super nostalgic! Bought a Stronghold box back during the Mirrodin block so I think it was priced around $200? I think a box of Mirrodin was $100 at the time so it was PRETTY expensive for a high school kid lol. Anyways, pulled a Queen and two Moxes :)
0:55 appropriately inappropriate
6:22 hit ‘em again
Mana leak is so good though
My degenerate “friend” loops strip mine with life from the loam I do not feel guilty running ruination.
ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK ROCK
Yes!! Punish greedy land bases!
such a five head move wait to buy
holy fuck, what a good box
18:28 looks like will forte lmao
Just making vacant conversation. Was your mind really blown?
I like my MTG breaks drippy bruh
love the rage pull
4 of the top 3 cards and still a loss (a sealed box is 4k) 😮
Whats shiny? the tears of the people who lost money
SLIVERS YAAAA
Thassas oracle deck? Jinxed ring em?
Insane box
Wait.. doesn’t that archdruid just make llanowar elves go infinite….?
The text has "this ability only triggers once each turn"
I can't believe Curly Jefferson got that. I really hope its not the same guy and someone just using the name as a joke.
how much did people pay to get a pack opened for them?
New mat?
He should get some more of those tattoos. Maybe that will help.
Lol Sliver Queen is one of the best infinite combos and wubby says it's terrible.
Legendary!
i wonder if wubby still has his twin brother inside his basement
28:19
stronghold is dank
Robert Bliss is goated
Wheres the knife? ;)
CarnASSid am I right?...
holy shit, awesome
Nice
Got stuck in a loop there
I just roke up
