    "Okay, we've got a product with great value, it's a lot of fun, and everybody loves it. I think we've got a real hit this time!"
    "Make sure it has packaging issues. Some cards should be flipped and some should end up bent when opened."
    "But... why?"
    As far as issues go, they could be *far* worse. It's not even close to a major issue. It's still a fantastic product design and almost flawless execution. Even without the value or the drafting, there's a *lot* of nostalgia here for me.

    While watching this video and going through my own pulls, it strikes me as interesting that I see a fair amount of cards from The Pauper Cube showing up. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but I am pleased.
    One thing that I like about this product is that an appreciable percentage of cards that aren't financially valuable are still at least useful outside of the draft context. Seeing so many Pauper, EDH, and Modern staples in one place makes me glad. This kind of utility and value combined in one box is fantastic.

And so far it's evening out for them. I am glad i got my preorder into them for a box of this. I've never bought a box before and i'm very excited. They were still doing preorders for the next restock at 109 but said after this batch the price would probably go up some.

    My first ever draft experience was with this set. I only got into MTG back at the beginning of February, and hadn't yet done a draft (I was kinda nervous for my first one). It was so much fun!!! I even won two matches! Before my local game store closed due to quarantine, I bought three more booster packs to help support them, and ended up pulling a Mana Crypt!!

    Pack wars! This is the BEST set to play pack wars. We did this with our box, and it was amazing! I recommend modifying it to: 2 packs + 1 of each guild gate + 1 of each basic. (Or 1 pack and 1 of each gate).

      Ya everybody is sadly mistaken with the value of mystery cards, they arent going to hold any value. They arent made to be collectible, they are made for drafting and lowering the commander card prices so people can actually afford to play. Thats why 1 out of every 2 boxes has a Mana crypt. In 6 months any card in Mystery set thats worth any money now will be pennies if not $2.

      kazaable the video was probably recorded before the prices of most of the mystery booster singles was known. I played a rare pick draft and took a foil Intruder Alarm thinking it was USD80, only to find out a couple of days later it was just USD10

      buggzy I don’t know what website you’re using for prices but all of these prices are definitely higher than what the cards are being sold for on any website I checked. For example, mystery booster Animate Dead is listed at $3.50 in the video but $2.00 on most large retailers such as TCG player and star city games

I love seeing that Wizards is putting out good products right now between these Mystery boxes (though I may be biased given your luck in opening these) and the new commander decks. I'd love to see Wizards go back to a msrp for these products given the cost of production shouldn't fluctuate too much. Keep up the great content Professor!
