I wanted to hear poetry :/
How do we find out who wins, and when?
Happy 400k subs.... I had to make 3 accounts so I could sub to you keep up the nice work 👌🏻
If I don't win I'll go to Rudy's channel, I will watch his nth booster box game video and I will have a lot fun watching it. You are warned...
Tolarian Community College I’m in :)
I can only imagine the thoughts going through profs head during that last box...
"I sold my goddamn Karn for this horse shit."
175 dollars for a card - I would sell it all day.
With 175 dollars, one can build 5 or so great EDH decks and have fun all night.
I honestly don’t think he sells the cards or at least not all. I think he has a big collection and sells the extremely expensive cards but not all
@@MrEliakimRAS You and i define great very differently
@@blbblb21223 Probably.
What I mean is: with 175 dollars, we can make solid, focused and fun EDH decks throughout the color pie. For instance, Gishath aggro, Melek/Talrand spellslinger, Sidisi self-mill, Gahiji tokens, Tatyova landfall are all simple and flashy EDH decks, and certainly make a fun EDH night even with a 35$ budget restriction on each one.
50+ minutes? Grabbing the 🍿
O hai Cimo. Didn't expect to see you on the Professor's channel.
And yugioh is better in a way.
Glad to see you here 🙂
You should do a similar booster box game for when Savage Strike comes out 😂
@@Tuturial464 Sure, like Konami US bumps the rarity of every relevant card in a set, making the game barely playable for people who don't want to spend tons of money on handtraps and such before their reprints, and only for most of those gamebreaking cards to be banned afterwards, right? That's such an unintelligent design I literally quitted the game because of that mentality.
Wizards: Liliana, Karn, and Emrakul all need reprints.
Also Wizards: There aren't enough Reya Dawnbringers to go around.
Also Wizards: iTs FoR dRaFtInG
@@oKingsWild TLDR: If you're putting in a card "for draft" but too afraid to make it less than rare, than it's not for draft
I have one of the originals of that card. To bad it's been reprinted so much.
@@DaDunge which one?
@@sowardsfamily2369 Reya Dawnbringer. I have the invasion version of her. To bad it's not worth enough to buy a beer.
I'm a simple man, I like simple things. Like someone opening packs of a product I refuse to buy.
For the curious:
The Exposed Nest
You were forever finding some new play.
So when I saw you down on hands and knees
In the meadow, busy with the new-cut hay,
Trying, I thought, to set it up on end,
I went to show you how to make it stay,
If that was your idea, against the breeze,
And, if you asked me, even help pretend
To make it root again and grow afresh.
But 'twas no make-believe with you to-day,
Nor was the grass itself your real concern,
Though I found your hand full of wilted fern,
Steel-bright June-grass, and blackening heads of clover.
'Twas a nest full of young birds on the ground
The cutter-bar had just gone champing over
(Miraculously without tasting flesh)
And left defenseless to the heat and light.
You wanted to restore them to their right
Of something interposed between their sight
And too much world at once-could means be found.
The way the nest-full every time we stirred
Stood up to us as to a mother-bird
Whose coming home has been too long deferred,
Made me ask would the mother-bird return
And care for them in such a change of scene
And might our meddling make her more afraid.
That was a thing we could not wait to learn.
We saw the risk we took in doing good,
But dared not spare to do the best we could
Though harm should come of it; so built the screen
You had begun, and gave them back their shade.
All this to prove we cared. Why is there then
No more to tell? We turned to other things.
I haven't any memory-have you?-
Of ever coming to the place again
To see if the birds lived the first night through,
And so at last to learn to use their wings.
I'm dumb as a post: is this an innuendo?

Petition for having a box opening video of ultimate masters featuring Rudy
Interesting footnote on Frost's "The Road Not Taken": This poem is popularly believed to mean "Don't do what everyone else is doing; take your own path"--and that's what I believed too. But then I read a fantastic analysis that actually proves the poem has a completely different meaning. Frost isn't praising individuality. He's wondering how his life might have turned out if he had made different choices. You can see this in the first three lines of the poem:
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood

I can’t be the only one who is wondering how many times he had to re-record those box flips.
or when the one fell from off screen at the beginning?
You might be the only one wearing a tinfoil hat not everything's a conspiracy
Tim Mccalla who said anything about conspiracies? I loved the box flip.
@@RobbieEctor yea no conspiracy just that catching expensive things can be stressful and he is not the most dexterous youtuber so you have to wonder how many times he filmed it to get it right
were there 30 min or 30 sec of outtakes?
I wish my LGS gave retail value for trade ins...no store is going to actually give you that much for a Goyf or anything else. Maybe you have an agreement with your LGS...idk
Thanks for the video and for your time professor. You are always appreciated my good sir.
I was super floored when I picked up a booster pack of Ultimate Masters for myself to open, only one though because the pricetag for them is SUPER expensive in Canada ($15 ea.). I opened a foil Phyrexian Altar, a $100 card (perhaps more even in Canada) which made it all the more special that I only bought the one pack.
Congrats! That's amazing! :D
Also, $15 is the normal price here in the states for a pack of these
@@joshuaprice3727 Oh, I guess I was just used to hearing about the price of Ultimate Masters being around $12-13 U.S., as well as booster boxes of it being around $300 (where I can only get it for around $420-450)
Eric Fontaine Congrats, I have to agree on prices being expensive here in Canada. A pack of Ultimate masters at my LGS would cost me $21.95 ($16.38 US) and that’s before tax which makes it really $25.24 ($18.84 US).
20$ is a pretty damn hard pill to swallow but that's about the same as an eternal masters pack up in canuckland too. I recently bought 2 packs for 20$ a pop and pulled a karn and a balefire dragon. We got lucky, but its so easy to lose in this gambling game.
Lol it was nice seeing my 2 entries out 4 total entries on the giveaway. Wont be such good odds in a few min
"Hard to go wrong with getting 6 boxes, ranging from good or decent to really nice, and finally bust on the 7th, considering I know that my 1st would've resembled your last". - Robert Frost
Very difficult to pull the value without the box topper. Time to buy the singles we need.
That last box topper was exactly the card I hoped it would be.
Daniel Wilson Crappy box topper? Sure. Crappy card? Never
@Daniel Wilson Sarcasm who?
Daniel Wilson Take a look at Reid Duke’s Jund list and get beck to me
I kinda wanted it to be Lavaclaw Reaches.
I pulled a Lavaclaw Reaches in my 2nd UMA box topper. That was rough. Would not wish that on anyone.
The current statistics on the Box Toppers are:
An expected value = 76$
A mean = 76$
And a range = 230$
The range of this set is abnormally high because the most valuable card, Liliana, is 175$ over the mean, and the next 4 most valuable cards, Cavern, Snapcaster, Tarmogoyf, and Karn, are between 120$ and 75$ over the mean.
Overall the mean and expected value are heavily skewed by those 5 cards, considering only 11 out of the 40 cards are priced over the mean.
The range and mean are also lightly skewed by the low end cards. The 2 least valuable cards, Stirring Wildwoods and Lavaclaw Reaches (“but those cards definitely see enough play to warrant a masterpiece” - WOTC probably) are 50$ below the mean. And of the remaining 27 cards below the mean, 14 are at least 30$ below it.
Only 11 cards were within 10$ of the mean.
The Professor’s 7 boxes had a mean value deficit of 56$ without the Box Topper, and a mean Box Topper value of 119$. Although we must consider that the probability of pulling 1 of the 5 high value Box Toppers 3 times is 0.2%, so the mean value of his Box Toppers is noticeably inflated.
Overall we see that WOTC’s original expected value of a Box Topper of 96$ (the increase in the MSRP of a booster box between the last Masters set, Masters 25, and Ultimate Masters) was 20$ above the current expected value, and as the mean price of an Ultimate Masters booster box is 280$, WOTC overvalued the set by 56$. The Box Toppers have an insanely inflated range caused by including cards that see almost no play in any format, cards which had an extremely low value already, and most importantly cards which no player had ever said “you know which card I’d want to see an extended art masterpiece of” about. So, while the expected value of a Box Topper is likely similar to its cost (something which is impossible to properly determine because to the fact that the Box Toppers are not being bought and sold separately on the secondary market due to the flashlight trick, and because the price of any of the other Masters sets which would be needed as a reference has been irrevocably altered by the value of the cards contained in the set and the scarcity caused by being out of print), people may wish to avoid the set due to the heavily punishing lower end contents.
Because we can all agree that NO ONE wants to gaze into the abyss that is opening a Box Topper and find that a Stirring Wildwood gazes back into them.
All the prices I used came from TCG player.
re: Wildwood and Reaches toppers
I can only figure they were included to have the full cycle of manlands, they just had to satisfy that one person who would have been upset otherwise.
Always appreciated someone who does the math keep cool my dude
I LOVE this set. Wish the price wasn't so high, but this was great. Thank you, Professor!
Thank you from France prof to let the whole world participate to your event :)
We just had an 8 player inhouse draft of this box! Suuuper fun draft!
Mythics: Liliana and Snapcaster.
Topper: Gaddock Teeg
TOPPER - 1:31 #1 - 14:55 #2 - 22:16 #3 - 28:45 #4 - 35:22 #5 - 41:33 #6 - 47:50 #7
(give a like, i command you lol :)
Since Im commander player i will
I'm loving all these nice reprints!👍
And tarmogoyf and kozilek sure do love you!
These are my favorite videos between all of the MTG TH-cam videos. I always look forward to this. I used to really like Rudy's bingo vids too but this will always be my fav. (Yes I know I'm a year late.. I missed this one)
I know people will see this here so I must say that I can personally confirm that you CAN look at the box topper contents with the right light and angle. I saw my cavern topper before cracking it open. Buyer of loose toppers beware!
oh, and great opening Prof. you lucky bastid
Oh boy... 50 minutes! Now the only question is: does it beat Modern Masters 2017?
Update: halfway done and already at box 5!
Yes.
I actually bought a box as a present for my friends in the LGS...I mean I kept all the cards, but as a gift we enjoyed a greed free draft. As I was keeping all the cards we could simply build without looking at monetary value. I also got very lucky in the rare department with 2 Noble Hierachs, 1 Engineered Explosives and some other neat stuff in the higher price categories, while my Mythics were Lord of Extinction, Leovold and Vengevine...and my box topper was Vengevine too, which isn't that high in price, but a beauty to look at and with some trading around I got the Topper-Bitterblossom for my girlfriend as a christmas present too.
Sweet, I will draft my box around Christmas with my friends (Also greed free drafting ). I hope my rares will be as good as yours! ;)
Couldn't wait with the topper, sadly only a maelstrom pulse for me (I am building a Cube so I really don't love that card^^).
I love bitterblossom
Prof the road not taken is my favorite poem. Really enjoyed hearing you read it
Just got back into mtg not too long ago and your videos are just awesome, I learn something new every vid. Super informational and totally funny! Tolarian Community College Rocks!
I’ve been waiting all week for this video!
It was amazing when you drew Karn Liberated with one pack.
Looking back, I think this was my personally favorite set ever. Such good memories
I loved this one! It really get me excited to open a few boosters of this set for myself.
Also, I would like to thank the editor for putting this video together in a way that lets me skip 10 secs after each rare to see the next foil and rare! Great editing!
Prof, I just opened 3 packs and got Foil Demonic Tutor, Engineered Explosives and a Lilianna of the Veil! I hope you pull as good as I have!
Lucky
BriaN! From the bottom of my heart. Fuck you
Ive opened 3 1 emrakul a reveilark and the last was a land
A little salty of u brian
I'm still in the middle of the vid, and prof already has a complete deck os bogos
The one time when buying sealed product trumped buying the singles you need for the decks you want to play :P Congratulations on all the great pulls Prof
At first i was reluctant to watch this channel, i thought the prof. was kinda wierd, but now, i understand that he is honest and jokes about how people waste their money, giving me a respect for him and the channel. I now watch all his videos to see what cards i should get for my decks. Keep up the great work prof.
that price of 300 dollars is what kills me, dont have those dollars to throw around.....:C
300 dollars...thats about 9 days of work for me...yikes
flparg2 yeah it’s unfortunate the price. I will say usually you get your money’s worth. Whatever cards you want it’s best to just buy singles
@@HackThePlanetNow some duel decks are 2300-3200 ARS so like 60-80 dollars. Its painful to see. Every basic land is about 0.2 dollars in my LGS. Its an expensive hobby :(
I want profit to do this where he only goes through one box and then just has it on loop for 50 minutes
Who is "profit" ?
Auto correct from proff
While I am kinda sad that liking your page on facebook is another "requirement" to have the highest chance to win (because some people don't have or want to have or use facebook), I still am grateful you do this at all. Thanks for the video and thanks for being awesome, Prof!
Congrats on all of your awesome box-topper finds. Thanks for doing this and thanks for the entries for the drawing. Good luck to everyone!
So without the box toppers, these booster boxes aren't worth buying.
Not strictly true. If you pay 300 for a box w/o a topper, not worth. Pay 230, better.
The price wouldn't be the same if they didn't have a box topper. Price would obviously be lower. However, it is more high risk, high reward situation as you can get a box topper dud.
230 box with no topper is fine. A 300 box with no topper is a scam
If you can get it at 200 or 220 without the topper, it might be a good value...
*HOWEVER:* don't do that, it's a terrible idea: un-sealed boxes are risky, since there's always the chance that whoever is selling them is fishing out the mythics and putting the remainder in the "box w/o topper" to sell.
Always buy singles unless you enjoy gambling
Box #2: you missed a lava spike. But it didn’t made a difference. Onto 3!
Box #3: I was actually somewhat disappointed that foil Kozilek was only $30. Well onto box 4!
Box #4: That was close. It really does seem more and more like its topper or bust. Also congratulations on 2 Foil Back to Basics! Onto #5!
Box #5: Made it without the topper! Nice! Onto box #6!
Box #6: HOLY SHITE NEW RECORD! Nice! Also great topper! Onto #7!
Final Box: It was good while it lasted. Also Prof, have you ever thought of just putting out a podcast with you reading? I’d love to just sit and listen to you reading Robert Frost.
I'm honestly glad the cost on the FA Jund-colored Worldwake lands are so low. They'll look really nice in my Windgrace EDH deck
Does anyone else avoid scrolling over the main picture part so they can't see how long the video is? Adds to the excitement for me!
By my personal life experience, my first box would be like your box number 7 hahaha
I’ve bought two boxes and got over 400 USD in value in both boxes. Can’t complain one bit :D.
Great video! It's always interesting watching these when they get to go on for a few boxes to see what holds it's value and what ends up in bulk. This set, I am actually surprised that Sublime Archangel has dropped to sub $2 so fast. It seems like it would go into all kinds of white weenie decks etc, guess I never thought it only held it's value due to only being in M13. I entered your give away- my one box I picked up from my LGS(I paid 289 but I don't mind supporting my store the owner is a great guy) had the same topper as your last box here, and roughly the same value in the end too.
Videos like these make my days so much better!
50min wew lad. I already feel bad about my sub $150 box, this just makes me salty.
@@voluntarism335 Yup! That's the gamble. Ah well, I knew what I was getting into.
Rip
Condolences on the bloodbath all the same.
And then you have boxes like mine, so packed with value that I could sell the contents of that one box to buy 2 more boxes.
imgur.com/a/JtNvtuI related
well i got 6 packs with barely any value and then 3 packs in a row with foil rares(back to basics balefire dragon and the platinum golem )but i got trolled in to topper by eternal withness so yeah basically 220/250 box.
Buying singles might be the play honestly.
Low key I would have been ok with 35+ minutes of poetry.
I was just about to comment that I liked how he read them and I'd totally watch/listen to a video of him just reading poetry haha
Calling it now, this will be his April 1st upload in 2019
You sell yourself short; that Mark Rosewater impression was SPOT ON!
I also did an UMA Booster Box game, I did it at my LGS.
I ended up chaining TWELVE boxes. I did not keep most of the cards, but I did get to keep a topper Cavern, Ulamog, Kozilek, and Stirring Wildwood- also got to keep a Foil Karn and a Snapcaster Mage. There weren't very many cards from the set I wanted, honestly it was mostly for a chance at the two box toppers I actually want- Ancient Tomb and Temporal Manipulation.
Only took 5 boxes before a planeswalker showed up
Prof.: Wondering how much he's going to lose on this video
220$ box topper: bonjour
Almost expected a part 2 of this video. There is so much value in this set!!
Always a big fan of these videos, especially the longer ones. Let's see what you open Prof!
been waiting for this! Prof you look tired. You good m8?
Why must you always say that? You drunk boi ?
Without the toppers it would've been a 10 minute video, pretty much ending at box 1... justsaying
It also wouldn't be $300 a box.
@@brianm2242 spot on
Endeding?
@@napho5451 Most people, when trying to engage in civil discourse, look past a few spelling/grammar issues in favor of the actual topic.
When I saw him go to open the box topper first, "you f'ing maverick!" lol Good on you Prof!
I might be the only one who liked that Mistvale Plains with the scratch through it. I would keep it and play it. A lot of my damaged cards end up being my favorites as they tend to get associated faster with memories.
Couple ideas you should pad the time, add like 1-2 hours of nothing to the video so people won't know if you did 1 or 2, 50 minutes we immediately knew you would go past 1. It gives us more suspense. Also, glad you changed up the box topper for the end as that adds even more suspense. You can go from a $150-200 box to a $400+ box with those.
yeah good idea!
I would prefer separate videos.
"Why don't you give it a try?" I know that was a segue to your box promo, but you've told us in every single one of these videos to NOT play the booster box game. C'mon prof, english teachers aren't supposed to teach nonsensical and contradictory rules... wait...
It's unfortunate that you couldn't get a price on that foil misprint. It's not a very impressive misprint but from what I've seen any sort of misprint at all increases the value of the card in general. I bet you could get more for it, but of course it would require more work than just shipping it off to the same old buyer. Try selling it on facebook if you want value from it, there are tons of very active misprint groups
23:10 is that water tribe music?
Whats the timestamp for the misprint?
Second box. Around 9:23
@@BlazingWolfNova Thanks.
That looks more like damage and less like a misprint.
it's a damaged card, not a misprint. a misprint would be if the ink didnt cover that part of the card, or it was shifted and cut wrong. this looks like something got dragged over the sheet before it was cut, or over the top of the card after it was cut. just because it happened at the factory doesnt mean it has value.
It certainly is factory damaged and not misprinted, youre right. But from what I've seen those kinds of things still sell for more than regular cards in misprint, miscut and oddity groups, if only a few cents over normal. Of course it's completely dependent on the buyer, and there are certainly people who will value any kind of factory oddity, but you may have to look hard, especially for boring stuff like this
Jesus, such value! Can't believe The first two boxes had insane toppers
Awesome video as always. You should add a counter in that says the number of boosters opened so far. Knowing how far you are from the end is good to know, and adds some more suspense as the last packs come up :)
What I want to know is how he sells so many cards overnight when he breaks his boxes.
Mundane05 Local Game Store. It’s pretty easy to sell quickly in person
@@MWorl91 You mean to the store, or to attendants?
@@Mundane05 either one I guess. however my LGS only buys singles for about 75% of market value
@@Mundane05 To the store you Most shops if not all don't allow transactions between patrons unless its done outside and beside I think that'd be soliciting if just walked in asking his LGS's customers to buy his cards

If I remember correctly, one of my English teachers had made us read/read us Robert Frost for class. Cool to see the name and a quote I remember come back up.
Professor, I have a friend who owns an LGS in Houma, LA and he would definitely take that damaged Mistveil plains foils and offer you something for it. He has a collection of damaged and mis-cut foils.
In my opinion... The reason MM17 had more combined value was because they had actual dual-lands that had value and werent filler junk. And they were $100.00 cheaper to begin with. If this is the future of Magic products then I am not going to waste time , energy, and money on their products. Ive already seen a decrease in my play group and the turn-out at local Gs's by about 40%. Ive had a EDH group consisting of 30ppl for years. Now only 10-15 actually play. Wizards is becoming the Grimey, Greedy, evil step-mother of Hasboro. And people arent as dumb as they think. Thats my *$.02$* .
I'm still confused why wizards went with allied man lands over enemy fetches
The fact that only two boxes were actually above the $300 without the topper was pretty disheartening.
Rykzor Why? You’re paying extra for the extra card. If you take that card out the boxes would sell for 200-240 which most of them were in the range of anyway
He paid $300 a box. Nobody was actually paying that when he was playing this game. They're only just hitting that mark now. I feel like he did that so he could complain about not getting the box value without the topper, rather than delivering factual information.
They reprinted the enemy land cycle because of the demand for Celestial Colonade and for some reason wouldn't just print it without the rest of it's cycle.
I completely love the game but I totally agree
I did not check the video length before starting it. What a ride.
Thanks for the chance to win a BOX! What a late Christmas present that will be for someone!
box topper or GTFO game
"So remember: even though I had a ton of fun opening these boxes AND scored some jackpots, I still advise you not to share in that fun by opening your own booster boxes. I refuse to acknowledge the fact that the lottery component is a large reason why people crack packs"
I see your point, but do you agree with this: if WoTC sells us booster boxes, what are we boosting? I wish they would release a product that you could use to get into a new set without the complete randomness of the booster box. Imagine a challenger deck experience, with a couple of boosters included. Booster boxes could still be available, but with the expectation that you should start from a product that gets you started less chaotically. And don't get me started on the MSRP of packs and boxes - it may be fine for adults, but it would be great if WoTC cared to get more kids playing. And I've known college students to quit the game because they can't afford it! For me, and I do love cracking packs, Profs warning is sound because for most sets the risk on a given booster box is too great to justify if you aren't making use of the sealed product for sealed formats. Between that, and my point about there not being anything else but booster packs to buy each new set from Wizards, I think a complaint is warranted. Anyway, just my thoughts.
I don't think the prof actually sells them anymore he just keeps all the cards like a boss.
An advisor once asked Wizards how much gold would be enough. "I have no need of fools who can imagine enough" they told the advisors corpse
SINGLES NOT PACKS!!
Buy singular cards and not packs
ravensshade lol
I've been watching the Professor's Booster Box Game and I agree that it is smarter to buy Singles. However, I still don't buy Singles. I'm always testing my luck and opening packs is one of the ways I do that. I know will never turn profit because I don't sell my cards, they are either traded for cards of lesser value that I think are interesting or gifted away depending on my mood. I am more than happy to help others become better and I even give the local card shop cards to help them turn profit. In the end it's still just cardboard to me, cardboard that I can use for amusement.

Two box-topper Goyfs in a row? You're killing me, Prof!
... and congrats on the new Booster Box Game record, too.
You don’t know how upset I was when he pulled that second Tarmagoyf. I really wanted to hear the sweet, sweet words of Robert Frost. :(
mil disculpas pero debo decir el siguiente Chilenismo... Oh el Conchesumare con Cuea wueon. gracias
La cagó wn
I want to know where you are selling your cards at to get $100 % of their value? lol
If I were the Profs LGS . . . I'd probably give him full price knowing that he intends to buy another box if possible. At $300. Plus then I could resell those cards as usual, and at least for the truly special ones, I might casually mention that the card happened to be among those Prof opened in the video. Might be worth something to the right person lol.
My LGS trades and sells at full value of condition.
I think he sold them for TCGPlayer low or whatever the low is on eBay.
@@Firebert i think so too because when i checked mid price ob those goifs was over $250
I'd actually be delighted by the professor reading some more poetry. It's nice to listen to a english professor talk so yea, could you maybe do that? I won't forget to do my home asignment I swear!
I was going to buy a box online because of the price chatter, but was glad I bought from my LGS. Only $249.99 :). Well worth the price!
Love you prof. But really? ‘Le sigh’? You’re better than that
I don't understand why this is made fun of.

I doubt you expected an explanation but Dopamine release is highest at the last moment of anticipation, rather than satisfaction. So anything with a high value element of randomness is addictive.
Ty for sharing the opening plus the beautiful poetry !
I love you, Prof. I'm sorry this costs so frickin much. I hope any video profits offset the cost. Also, I'm totally buying one of your playmats for my buddy.
Love this channel! Enjoy all the videos on the products and about magic
Man your LGS must love your business when you are red hot with the pulls!
Awesome! Well done Tolarian! Just what I like to see. I've been waiting a long time for this video! My wife and I have been waiting patiently for you to release it. Hope to grab the box from the giveaway! That would be great. Anyway, take care, hope to see you at your shop in SF in the future, we stopped by once a while back and you weren't there, you replied to my wife on TH-cam and apologized, even though it wasn't your fault haha. Take care, happy holidays. - Jon
I know that I'm really late to this video, but is no one going to comment about how smooth that box-flip at 0:41 was??
I played Magic back in middle school with my friends and only went to one tournament with a borrowed Sliver deck. Haven't played MTG since then because we all got split up when it was time to enter high school.
Now I'm in college and recently I've started building a Yu-Gi-Oh! deck, my investments are going there, it would be quite expensive to start Yu-Gi-Oh and go back to Magic at the same time, but because of you, Prof, and the guys from the Command Zone I'm also really interested in Magic right now.
Chances are slim but I'll be really happy if I win the box giveaway, I'm excited! =]
Hey, if you like The Command Zone and are in college like me, then you will want to consider The Commanders Quarters - it is another youtube channel that makes budget commander decks usually on a $25 dollar or less budget. The lists the guy comes up with are not bad either. Otherwise, commander is a great format to jump into with a precon, though I didn't favor the 2019 decks. I also played YuGiOh in grade school, with a little Magic, and only got back into Magic last year. I only wish that someone had pointed me towards budget decks sooner.
I love this series!!!!!!!! Just LOVE it! So good!!! Thanks Prof!
This is the happiest box opening I’ve ever seen 🎼 🎸
Prof needs to do a sleep tape like Jeff bridges did and it's just the magic the gathering novels and lore...I'd pay good money for that
I got a Stirring Wildwood and a Lavaclaw reaches as topper :D I think I need to buy them at your LGS in the future instead of mine :D
In regards to the damaged mistveil plains you opened. I had a bad printer ink box of masters 2017and wizards sent me replacement goyf, cavern, and misty rainforest. Point being just let them know, work through the Bureaucracy, and they’ll send you fresh near mint cards.
I think a cool series for your channel would be to read the MTG story articles as sets come out
