Yeah, but it's -still not- (wasn't for a very small time frame) over $2, which is what the Prof wagers for "worth it" to resell by post. If there's an uncommon (or the slim chance if a valuable common) worth over $2 he'll usually let us know he's rolling through those to look out for it/them, too.
Vicariously living through this. The price of buying packs of cards has become ridiculous for a while now. Thanks again Prof for putting these videos out.
@@ryab3432 2018 USA's dear shitbag Prez Trump and administration put tariffs on TCGs. It's been stupid to buy them ever since. $200/ set booster box, $180 draft (CDN) for WOE. Just pushed it past the comfort zone to spend that much money on cardboard. Can't justify it unless its a valuable set like MH2 was.
Literally was looking at my binder full of legendary creatures and was like oh remember how exciting the team up commanders seemed and I hear literally nothing about them ever.
I just cant lie. Despite the constant product bombardment i LOVE this set! WoE is so well themed and i love the court and virtue cycles! The alternate arts and frames are just so gorgeous and while the anime cards are a bit random, they're really beautiful.
My wife and I just got into magic together about two weeks ago. Thank you for all of your videos, they have been great in trying to learn the game and in just learning what is going on with the set releases and so on. Happy to say that you have earned a lifelong subscriber

@@flogsolijr oh wow nice man a single card?!?!!? good one, cardboard for brains here found a $40 card in the set. And how much is Sheoldred the Apocalypse worth? Sit down man.
@@mckayolsen513 oh wow two cards??? that's really great for a set with 300+ cards in it!! what's the rate there? I'll wait for you to do the math...oh wait! Professor already did, boxes had NO VALUE or did you not pay attention?? This set actually has an EV about 33% the cost of a box...SAD SAD SAD. WotC sure is killing it! And by IT, I mean the game.
you and game knights are the only magic youtubers i watch because i’ve lost my love for the game but you two are so entertaining i can’t help but watch
I gotta say, even though there can (and should) always be improvements for the set and the prices, i'm really happy with how this set came out, with a lot of the choices for the enchanting tales, and how much lower the price is compared to the last 5, 6, 7, 10+ sets. I love the look of the enchanting tales cards, the fairytale style showcase being brought back is wonderful, I like the idea of enchants as adventures, there's some powerful cards, some powerful reprints, and some great looking new cards, too. Those full art lands are stunning! For the price, i'm happy with the set, and that's all that really matters. It's still a company that has to make money, of course the sets aren't going to be less than $100 anymore😔, but for a lower cost compared to recent sets, wilds of eldraine is pretty good.
@@Ca7busits basically impossible for a box to ever be "worth it" unless it's a limited run because the higher value the more it will be opened and the more the card prices will drop. The quality of reprints in a set has all to do with game and price impact, nothing to do with whether they make a set a more valuable lottery ticket
"Generous"... I cannot be the only one that feels like these reprints are a massive middle finger to who bought Commander Masters, right? Those enchantments have either just been reprinted in CMM (Land Tax, Doubling Season, Smothering tithe) thus didn't need a new print wave and now on their way to worthlessness, or should have been in that set instead of cards like "Zetalpa meme dinosaur" or "Talrand, the card nobody wants but is in every master set".
My friend and I split a box for this set, and I think its a fun way to engage with the new sets and feel like you're not spending too much on everything. Plus you can get the trade talks going right out the pack.
Gotta say, every foil card in the set looks absolutely gorgeous, mine aren't even curling. I call that a major win, also these cards rule. I can't believe intruder alarm isn't even 2 bucks anymore
Prof: Hey, if we hit 120, we'll keep going :) Also Prof: Many Magic the Gathering player ask the question- What would happen if we opened just one more? :)
I really enjoy these videos. I haven't been able to buy a box of anything in a long time so this is how I get to "open a box"... vicariously through the Professor!
This set is really fun, excellent follow up to the original - AND since all the remaining releases for this year are other I.P. products, (Jurassic world, Dr.Who, more LOTR) - I can actually spend the next few months getting into the groove of this set, like the old days. Have to admit, however, regarding the financial side of this release, most openings, this included, the money cards seem mostly to be in the "List" slot or in cards from the sub-set(s), not the set itself. Still a lot of fun and fantastic art, really creative card designs.
I actually pulled my Agatha soul cauldron in draft packs at my local target of all things. with this set i wanted to go all out, well as much as I could, so I bought a full set booster box. After opening all packs I got no witches, no Will, no Rowen. I was kinda sad but OK once I found out those cards were pretty cheap as singles, so I bought those. A few more cards and I'll have the whole set, fingers crossed. oh BTW in case anyone was wondering, The Meal Ender Syr, Ginger turned out to my my personal favorite card.
In other words: adult person finally finds out in 2023 that buying single is better than gambling for packs. Tomorrow they may discover that water is wet.
You pulling out the mirrodin book makes me happy. I just bought 9 or 10 of the books online after looking for years! Starting off with the onslaught series, love Phage the untouchable
Personally, I think if the entire set appeals to you, go for booster boxes. Like when Outlaws at Thunder Junction releases, 100% at least buying 1 because the magic and cowboy mixed theme sounds awesome. Same with Duskmourn
Yeah Eldraine is such a weird set value wise. I opened 3 Set boxes and 2 draft and I only got the value back from 1 draft box and 1 set box. That being said there are a LOT of cards in this set I want to play so the fun/play factor is defiantly there. I still love the set overall!
The Enchanting Tales reprints are a slam dunk in my book. I’ve never seen Prismatic Omen so affordable. Definitely a great reason to buy singles, but it is really enjoyable to see which enchantments you get, like the strixhaven packs.
I JUST got back into Magic after a long hiatus. Last time was Eventide which was years ago. The art in this set is just incredible. Got 2 Agatha's soul cauldrons from a booster box and was over the moon haha
Opening packs is a gamble. Usually you lose, but sometimes you win. My pre-release kit had *5* mythics (counting the mythic promo card), including a foil Land Tax, and a Smothering Tithe. Pretty sure my pre-release kit had almost as much value as his 2nd box.
I bought one box and pulled the anime art Rhystic Study, needless to say it pumped me up and fed my gambling addiction. Can’t wait to drop another $120 to gamble on that Smothering Tithe and/or Doubling Season.
I would like to see someday a booster box game with prices of other countries/currencies. I mean, I saw intruder alarm for less than a dollar and then went to see if it's cheap... and converting to dollars, the most cheap copy of it (the same enchanted tales), is 6 dollars...
Saw a few Vantress Transmuter, while they aren't worth much they're a good addition to my wizard prowess deck (modern) even if it's mostly for the croaking curse part that pairs nicely with a soul-scar mage and a few burn spells.
Yeah I notice you can get punished hard if you don't commit to an archetype pretty early - I think it makes for an interesting draft environment overall but I'm glad this doesn't happen every set.
I bought one bundle and got my moonshaker cavalry, a Smothering Tithe (not the anime one) and a counterbalance. I think that's a pretty good stopping point. Lol
"Buy singles". Then proceeds to open one box, fail the booster box game, open another anyway, fail that one, then open a box of Commander Masters. Never change, Prof!
anyone else heavily bothered with how prof bends the foil cards to show they are foils. like just move it around so the light hits it different. dont bend the cards or the cardstock memory will have a slight bend forever. nevertheless still a good vid
Just got my own draft booster box of this in the mail today. The first time I've bought a whole box for the purposes of hosting a full 8-man draft. I'm very excited, because even when opening a small pre-release package for myself as a bit of an indulgent treat, I was very much vibing with this set immediately from the offset. Enchanting Tales was just as exciting as I had hoped, I love alot of the archetypes getting support from rats to food beatdown and it's gonna be my first time assembling a play-party this big for something that wasn't a cube.
I would challenge you to buy some older booster boxes and compare the opened value several years after its released to show something other than the short term gain.
I know this isn't a thread board but I feel more comfortable asking and letting whoever sees it respond, so: For those who play Spelltable, are proxies frowned upon, allowed or maybe even embraced? Leave your opinions below so we can give the Profs video more engagement!
Man, I actually got what I payed for in my three boxes. But that was before they hit normal retailers. I'm sure the singles cost about what I payed for the boxes in whole.
Probably the best set thats came out since phyrexia , alot of good reprints and the cards are good, they should always have a fair and standard priced set that soft resets the game so new players dont feel overwhelmed.
i was lucky enough to pull a regular doubling season, an anime foil doubling season, and an anime rhystic on my first box! the second box, not so lucky... lol
Is this the set with the knight thats killing the jelly doughnut with a spear? I pulled it from a pack and can't remember the set it's just so funny I've been dying to get more
On one hand, I find it a bit concerning for the collectibility aspect that a set full of alternate art reprints of cards highly played in multiple formats didn't "win" the booster box game - I'd have expected a majority of the enchanted tales to go for a premium but few do. On the other hand, I'm so excited that all these awesome cards are affordable to play with!!

The sub two dollar values displayed on the special cards is a real “chefs kiss”.
You passed the up the beanstalk card, highest uncommon in this set 😳😂😳🤝
THIS should be the top comment ❤🎉😂
Took me a second to get it 🤣
Yeah, but it's -still not- (wasn't for a very small time frame) over $2, which is what the Prof wagers for "worth it" to resell by post.

@@JaySaypretty sure even the lowest value beanstalk is over 2.00 currently and I think they were higher back when Prof did this video
@@shad0wlynx I checked about 3 days ago and it was at $1.80.
Guess it jumped since then, but the Prof did record this a couple of days ago.

the WoE packs are like 4-5 bucks that has been the price of a booster pack for nearly a decade and a half.
@@ryab3432they are acting like WoE is selling at CMM level of prices lmao.

I hope WOTC slows down and sobers up… there’s so many cards spilling forth from the magical planes that it’s tough to get excited.
Real
Literally was looking at my binder full of legendary creatures and was like oh remember how exciting the team up commanders seemed and I hear literally nothing about them ever.
Yeah cuz not a lot of people make money
It's not WOTC it's Hasbro they are pushing for WOTC to make more because it sells better than their toys
Not tough to be excited about Eldraine lol I have been waiting for this since the first set.
I just cant lie. Despite the constant product bombardment i LOVE this set! WoE is so well themed and i love the court and virtue cycles! The alternate arts and frames are just so gorgeous and while the anime cards are a bit random, they're really beautiful.

You can tell he really likes the set.
Because "close" is a very generous term.
Those enchanting tales dropped the prices on a LOT of good cards. Things like Phyrexian Unlife and Utopia Sprawl really tanked
well considering there's no NEW CARDS worth anything in this set, wotc needs to step it up.

Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that, 8 days from now, I will have been sober for 4 years.
Congratulations, that's awesome to hear! Perhaps you could give WotC some tips...
i think that’s awesome! i hope you’re still staying strong!!! and if you didn’t that’s ok you can always try again!!!
The Enchanting Tales were so good, those prices got cratered by the reprints! Might not make a flashy video but it's awesome to see for player access.
Love the ocd on the foils, tilting it 2 or 3 isn’t good enough gotta do it six times just to make sure it’s still a foil lol 😂
The prof likes this set I can tell. The reprints are amazing I was blown away with how generous they were.
And the reprints were *meaningful*. They had flavor, value and the original printings maintained value while reducing the cost of the newer versions.
I'm confused. Every box he opened wasn't even close to the value of what it cost...? How is that amazing?
@@Ca7bus Some people just enjoy the reprints because they appeal to them in ways other than monetary value

I played some commander at a local store, after winning a friend got me a booster pack, got Talion full art foil, now I'll build a deck around him

Stay safe and healthy man, keep up the great work
This the closes I get to opening packs my self at this point. Thanks for taking the bullet for the community.

Yep...I bought a box of kamigawa because I love samurai and ninjas...planning on getting the OTJ for the cowboys theme
You can include up the beanstalk. Uncommon with value
I found it fitting that there was a pack where the first card was "Once upon a time"!
'Just like fighting the hydra" - As a Latin teacher, this made me happy.😁
Homie STRUGGLIN on that first pack. What a mood...
I need to buy another one of these. It was so much fun to draft

I remember a time, where I only spend 75-80€ on a display. Good times, good times.

The Enchanting Tales reprints are a slam dunk in my book. I’ve never seen Prismatic Omen so affordable. Definitely a great reason to buy singles, but it is really enjoyable to see which enchantments you get, like the strixhaven packs.
My prediction was that you'd pull a doubling season from the Eldraine boosters, but it looks like the commander masters box covered you on that.
I JUST got back into Magic after a long hiatus. Last time was Eventide which was years ago. The art in this set is just incredible. Got 2 Agatha's soul cauldrons from a booster box and was over the moon haha

That's a sick cowbell
Man, I wish I never prayed for so much product at once. I honestly feel that MTG is starting to become the next Yu-Gi-Oh in more ways than one.
This is a cool set for drafting. Although its pretty easy to get screwed over if you dont notice what others at the table are pulling.
Yeah I notice you can get punished hard if you don't commit to an archetype pretty early - I think it makes for an interesting draft environment overall but I'm glad this doesn't happen every set.
this was a pretty good one pull-wise
Was it? Both boxes were flops

Holy moly that CMM booster box was HEAT.
Cringe ghetto talk
Petition to sack off the art card and replace it with a guaranteed card from The List and sack off the minigame card in favour of a guaranteed token?
Knew this wasn't gonna work out as soon as I saw $0 at pack5.

"You can watch the Commander Masters booster box game here."

Wilds of Eldraine Boosted Box Game LETS GO!!!!!!
I bought 3 boxes of wilds of eldraine and only opened 1 im gonna sit on the other 2 for now. But im very happy with my pulls
Kinda crazy that he got 2 "the great aurora" from the list
I got the same crap card from my list card. WOTC overprinted that card for that slot.
I would challenge you to buy some older booster boxes and compare the opened value several years after its released to show something other than the short term gain.
The real WoE value box was already cracked by you and Amy, and you ripped all the cauldrons apart. :D
Second booster box?!
I sometimes watch old booster box vids.
Man the CMM box holy..
Great box prof !!!!
"buy singles!"
"lets do one more booster box, just for fun! it was so close!"
I'm here sweating watching these to convince myself NOT to buy them
Such good reprints. Got tons of stuff I wanted for cents
the set is great thanks to it i got a virtue of abundance primal vigor and a land tax for my hobbits

Not gonna lie I wasn't expecting the only planeswalker in this set to be worth 1 buck. I guess thats what an extended standard causes.
If you made half the common and uncommon cards foil and made all the lands full art, wotc would market this as a collector booster
