Speaking of Aluren, check out my Legacy Deck to Aluren here: th-cam.com/video/4Vizb85Wevo/w-d-xo.html
Aluren is my favourite card, I am investing in it, looking for more copies!
Awesome opening video, i'd like to see more of these, you did a great format to do it
The adult in me buys singles. The kid side of me chants "BOOOOOOSTER BOX GAAAAAAAAAME!"
@Manek Iridius Unfortunately the kid doesn't pay the bills :/
Man. That was.... Exactly what I expected actually.
Losing your ass on junk but loving the whole thing?
I thought he would get something. That was what, $250-$300 worth of packs with a grand total of $5-6 of value in it?
Sounds like my luck if I had gone to that darksteel draft
Yeah. He spit up and thrown out.
The best thing about these packs?
Art. Old school MtG art.
The old art is insane. I love the white outline the most
Really? Most of the art on these was pretty atrocious
@@DimT670 but that's the point
@@DimT670 Nostalgia can make a man see a poop on the ground and endearingly pick it up, remembering when it used to be dog foot.
@@DimT670 I think blue spandex Jace (what is this, a DC comics TCG?) looks atrocious, but luckily tastes are different. I absolutely hate modern Magic art. Everything has the same, sterile CG look.
I remember back in the day, this one kid cracked Urza's Saga boosters until his face melted. When he pulled Morphling, you should have seen how triumphant he became (cheering next to a pile of Serra's Sanctums and Gilded Drakes).
I needed a good stress reliever, much appreciated.
Happy to help
@@TolarianCommunityCollege music was also awesome!
The second song reminds me of ff9
Really? This stressed me out even more. Just imagine dropping 50+ bucks on a pack and getting back $2.00 😭
Not sure how I feel about Mirrodin Besieged, a set I drafted when I first started playing, getting referred to as Vintage. I'm not ready yet to feel old.
Welcome to hose town, population: YOU
Hose mad
We love you, Brian! Thanks for the good Vibes :)
You're the best!
Those times when you didn't know the complete list of the cards of every set and you perfected the best possible your deck with all the cards that you opened enthusiastically in every booster...
It took about a year, but you finally got it through my skull to buy singles. I was going to buy a box of commander legends. I instead ordered cards for ooze tribal for $40.
Who's the commander? and you must have included most of the oozes cause there aren't a whole lot of them.
Got to be the Mimeoplasm right?
Commander legends is really fun to open though. You get a ton of good cards and it’s fun to draft. I opened some today and got the Apex devastator and 3 rares in one pack.
@@mathewdebol923 only if they want black oozes which only necrotic is really good. Personally i would probably make it G/U with either experiment kraig or vannifar. More so kraig
I bought a box! To draft with my friends after the lockdown :)
$2.21 from the Exodus pack. Ouch. I feel like this is an advertisement against buying & cracking old packs.
Some of the old packs only have 2 or 3 cards above the price of the pack! Idk why anybody would gamble on those odds.
@@Ujabuja But you could crack one! What an experience!
@@PureInsanity025 spending $100 and getting $2 is also an experience
@@Ujabuja Yep, called gambling. Lots of people do it
It's not about the value of the cards themselves. It's because these unopened packs will become very scarce as the decades roll on. They'll become more rare and collectable even if the individual cards inside aren't powerful anymore.
It's like many other collectables... in the box, and unsullied, it's worth something. Open it, and that value is lost.
A single's a single, but the pack could have anything! It could even have the single!

The bank always wins ;)
Love the turtleneck!
Thanks!
Hey! At least you got lands. Lands see play in almost every format!
Yeah, the exception being oldschool where you had infinite copies of any card. Lol
This pack cracking really made me travel back in time. Thanks for this prof, even if you don't get some value, the sentimental value is here. And those arts on urza block and before... I miss them
Thanks for the trip :)
This brought back so many memories. Thank you for the nostalgia Prof. This made me very happy.
Pretty sure there was only one card higher than common in that Chronicles pack (Tor Wauki). Yikes.
whats ridiculous was that i pulled a pretty decent chronicles booster a couple days ago, with a nicol bolas and nebuchadnezzar
Damn Mirrodin Besieged is vintage... how time flies
They are even calling Eldritch Moon block and Kaladesh block Vintage. Lol
For real I was in 8th grade I believe when that set was released.
Man, I'm a newish player and I really like the vintage card designs and art!
I especially like the Future Sight card boarders!
damn i was really rooting for him to pull some of those high value cards.
And then have to explain that you should still buy singles despite him having made amazing pulls in every pack 😂
Man, I love that vintage artwork. Thanks for cracking these classics open and sharing with us!
I love the art on the older sets. They have a nice design to them and just looking at them was really cool, but jot worth 100 plus dollars lol good video
Future sight design are cool.
Even though it was a bunch of nothing, it was still fun to see a bunch of old cards that I remember opening.
Good vibes and I loved the music ! ^^
Your videos are always pleasant to watch
Wow professor that sweater and jacket look nice together. Side note I really love these videos means I don't have to crack my own packs 😂
I waste my money so you don't have to!
@@TolarianCommunityCollege A noble cause. Also I just wanted to say the secret lair joke where you said "are you just trying to make me say excited things about secret lair?" Was great
I love the touch of opening these packs on the "Buy Singles" mat 😂
I’ve finally started reading the Weatherlight novels, so the flavor text on these was the fun part.
This video stands as a REAL LIFE EXAMPLE of what the Prof always has stated, and it shows here in it's purest form! Literally what.....roughly $300+/- total these would have cost someone at present day, only to then get at most maybe $10 bucks in value of cards. Had he pulled a "Cradle" or something like that, then would maybe be a bit harder not to claim for others their best bet is to buy singles, but this shows what more than thr latter, would happen to most in the same situation! So THANK YOU Professor, for helping to clearly show ......what you always preach and holds true the vast majority of the time. Great video, let his financial detriment here, help by LEADING BY EXAMPLE all of us collectors, fans, and players abound. :-)
I really like this format of pack opening! Been thinking of doing it myself now I’m really excited to give it a try. Great job as always Prof!
At some point, I'm not sure whether this was the Prof's vintage unboxing or a deckbuilding demo for Quest for the Janklord.
Fun reading all the flavor text on these old cards. Thanks prof :)
Opening that Chronicles pack really brought me back.
that was excellent brother, keep up the good fight my dude.
Geez Prof, I’m actually rocking out pretty hard to your background music now.
I still like videos of opening packs. Sure you may not get the most expensive card in a set, but it is nice to see packs from when I started playing the game. I liked when Wizards actually started color coding the cards so you could tell what was common, uncommon, rare, and eventually mythic.
oh my, i can't even! all these beautiful old artworks making me cry :'-)
Oh man, I started Magic during Urza's Saga! Tempest's Disturbed Burial was the corner piece of my first "successful" deck.
Whenever in the future I get the urge to crack some of my vintage boosters I think I'll just come back and watch this opening.
That was exciting to watch, I was really hoping you would get atleast 1 hit. Thank you for the video
I've such fond memories of cracking future sight as a young teen. I can't believe it's up to 40 per pack. I'll never forget getting my first new border cards. Ghostfire, logic knot were so cool too me. And when I finally got a pact of negation and memorial 😍😍
Prof!? What are you doing?! How about a chaos draft with some gameplay?! AAAAARGH!
I’m 24 but started playing magic in 7th grade and got into it heavily (I stopped around 11th grade, playing music and some bad habits got me to stop) but what got me to play in 7th grade was seeing these old cards at a bros house. His step dad had a room full of just old magic cards from old sets. They let me just go through em and make decks. I even made a bad ass sliver deck for free over there. It’s nice seeing these old cards. Good ole nostalgia
This took me back to when I first started playing...I miss my old cards..had to sell because of being poor. 12 years of collecting gone. But this made me smile....love ya stuff
My play group proxied all of vintage cube so we can draft it whenever we want. It's quite fun drafting OP decks with stuff like Primeval Titan, Kozilek, The Power 9, etc.
Little trip back in time. Fun and chill video :] Been a while.
Awesome artwork on these old cards, even if the value wasn't quite what you'd hope for! Speaking of Exodus, I went hunting for Jackalope Herd and found Survival of the Fittest instead🤩
That Future Sight booster brought back so many memories.
For example, I had a friend who had an insane elf deck. It was my Sliver deck’s bane. Anyways, he was use Thornwield Archer and equip it with Viridian Longbow. Then untap it with another card that I forget. I couldn’t get anything to stick on the board and he would just overwhelm me with a 1/1 army that were made from Lorwynn elves. Boosted by various other lords.
Hi professor, I found your channel from the pokemon videos and the ranking of trading card accessories, they were immensely helpful. Thank you for introducing me to the world of magic, the artwork on these cards is phenomenal!
Wow professor! That was some insane value from the packs!
Great video Prof, you showcase the insanity of the reserved list, and showcase that awesome new playmat ^^
Seeing the Exodus and Urza Packs brought me back to my Middle School for when I won a Magic Pack in one of those Light Spinning Redemption Machines (The one for where you supposed to stop the Light as one of the Red Lights to said the Prize under it)
I remember Chronicles fondly. As someone who hadn't even heard of Magic until 4th edition it was nice to get my hands on some older cards that way.
Mirrodin besieged music was spot on atmospherically, great choice
I was needing some of this vintage booster magic!
I can confirm, the battle decks from Card Kingdom are actually a lot of fun to just buy a handful of and play with your friends. I even got a few deck ideas from them.
The art on many of those cards is beautiful though thank you for sharing
Man, that was painful. But those old frames, and those old school arts... Gorgeous!!!
...look Like the Prof.'s streak of 1(or more!) amazing ancient pack pulls has come to an uncerimonious end.
The music in this one was beyond amazing.
My partner got me a besieged pack for Christmas as it was my favorite set and even though I didn't open anything of value, the nostalgia trip of all the limited I played was well worth it and worth the price of the pack.
Brutal but thanks Professor for the content. Always love these old packs
Part of me wish I started playing magic much earlier than I started
I know right, I started on Mirrodin in 2004 and just missed this first golden era, my experience was very nice through the year, but I can't say I am not frustrated when someone older tell me how exciting it was pre 8th edition
I started during Visions and had a MASSIVE collection. But then my basement got flooded and I lost most of my Visions - Urzas Destiny cards... but luckily I had set aside cards like Gaea's Cradle and foil Metalworker.
I started playing in 2017, but my dad who passed away in 2010 had cards. I didn't even look at them when we were sorting through his stuff so I have no idea what he had.
The worst part is that you shouldn't even be at a disadvantage regardless of when you decide to pick up the game. MTG just has the most horrendous reprint policy of any card game on the market, and it does absolutely nothing but disincentivize new players. If they actually reprinted cards frequently and reasonable quantities it wouldn't matter that you don't have $600 reserved list cards.
@@MoronicChunk1 Yep, I could have played during Champions of Kamigawa earliest, I would have been able to get all the cool cards that are now expensive in Modern long ago. Even Legacy staples weren't too much back then if I remember right. Preventing people from playing the game because of the LIE that is the Reserved List is just silly and ridiculous, and doesn't even mean anything these days - Modern staples will, and have been losing value this entire time, and you don't see me and every other Modern player suing WOTC over it. So the list doesn't really give anyone any incentive or consumer confidence their newer cards are going to hold value, because at any moment there can be Triple Masters reprinting my Cavern of Souls into the ground.
TY for the opening PROF! The cards are so cool and unique. The next time you do a random pack opening YOU ARE DUE TO HIT IT BIG!!
This reminded me about how great flavor texts were oh my. It is likely the nostalgia talking, but I enjoyed nearly every flavor text in this video
I love these openings Prof
That. Was. BRUTAL
Prof had to turn up the volume a bit! THANK YOU PROF! Good stuff!
Those battle decks are a ton of fun...
Scourge of Kher Ridges was one I didn’t get back in the day. That art is so good 🤤
Always good to hammer home the point that buying singles is more useful to you than cracking packs/boxes.
But damn it’s fun to crack packs!
Sympathic dude, thanx for this. :)
Thanks for opening!!! I pulled an Endless Wurm from 1/2 of my Urza packs I tried as well. We share the pain :D
Music was straight up bangin' in this one
That turtle neck was a good choice 👌🏾
Chronicles got me into magic Opening diffetent sets all in one pack was awesome!
This was the saddest pack crack I have ever seen in my life. 2020 just ain’t worth it anymore
Never has been.
Yep totally love your videos
I love the SNES background music :)
I don't even play magic and I just subscribed. The amount of work and effort you put on the video is amazing. Appreciate the good work.
I just bought a beginner pack from the site!this is great!gratings from Germany
I miss these pack openings!!
I'll have to take a look at those battle decks
Much value. Such wow
I was a kid in school when Urza's Saga was released, but we weren't really happy with it. Everyone talked how in the "good old days" the cards were better LOL.
the song you played during the exodus was pretty cool
I saw the word Urza.
I clicked.
I'm a simple man.
Sweet, sweet nostalgia.
Finally I know! You remind me of Sean Bean when he played Boromir.
I liked the background music on this one.
Greetings Prof,
Really love your content. Keep it up and have a great day! :D
Still fun to open old boosters!
Dang Prof, you really turned a profit on those packs! Love that art on Thalakos Seer
This video encouraged me to keep buying singles. I even paused it to get a Chronicles edition Nicol Bolas to build an EDH deck with.
Great way to pass the time while I am both sick (not covid, stomach bug) and waiting for my game to download!
reminds me of any of my booster openings :P
How appropriate! Yesterday a friend traded me an Urza's Saga "Gamble"
Maybe not the cards we are hoping to find in those boosters, but I really enjoyed watching the art of my favourite artists that don’t take commisions for this game anymore.
The background music slaps!
Thank You.
