I didn't buy this, but I did buy the 50 dollar bundle and a collector booster box, and I'm happy with my pulls. I got a lot of insanely fun cool pulls, and I even got the promo Merfolk card Professor showed off previously!! I'm excited to play Arabella commander decklist or try my hand on cheesy wins with Winter plus doomsday demon for 6 black mana via deckout.
Let's be honest, at this point it's pretty evident Play Boosters (and probably even the Draft/Set booster split ahead of time) was all just an excuse to up booster prices instead of just idly blaming inflation.
I heard a lot that game stores where just sitting on their draft boosters. I believe them when they say they had to consolidate them because set boosters were killing draft. But I also believe they took that opportunity and milked it for as much as they could
Honestly, booster boxes should not cost more than $100 with 36 packs each with 14-15 cards. And there should be a token in every pack. There is no reason that mass-produced cards cost as much as WotC overcharges those boxes.
MSRP of Play Booster Boxes should be $99.95 Play Boosters should have 20 cards - Guaranteed tokens, basic lands, Art Series cards should go to an Art Series Booster
Have to say, you opening packs while just talking to the camera off the top of your head has become my favourite kind of pack opening videos that you make. Of course, this wouldn't work with a box of play boosters as it already takes some time to go through them even without that, but just take this as encouragement to make more of those pack opening videos (when you want to make them, that is).
I used to love hearing the Professor talk about his feelings about the set over these videos. Always felt like having a nice chat with a friends whilst you open packs together.
@@pretzelsaregood57 everyone knows that it s better to buy singles if you wanna build a deck or collect some cards. It s not worth at all to buy card packs, they are full of rubbish, it s just cool to unpack them. Still this video makes sense tho
@@normified That s already obvious for everyone older than 5 yo, this video has the purpose of make you see the video for a long time, because this is TH-cam and algorythm need this. I never said that someone shouldn t buy singles
Thank you Prof for continuing to open boxes for us over the years as prices keep going up and the value down lol. I know there's a million box break channels out there but for some reason yours have always been more pleasant to listen and watch. thank you and the team for the years of content!
I was very happy when they introduced Set Boosters, fun and varied and didn't contain as much commons. Play Boosters are just slightly different Draft Boosters for more money. I gave them a chance, but I also gave up on them. WotC had my money with Set Boosters, now they've screwed it up again!
The sad part is in the north where money might as well be monopoly currency a play booster is $220cad before taxes. Even with currency conversions there is a steep markup.
I actually opened my very first box 2 days ago, after 11 years of Magic. My hometown, Helsinki, has this somewhat pricy game/comic/manga store that runs monthly sales of certain older products and a draft box of Zendikar rising was just 81 euros. I got 15 euros from the extra promos they gave me, 32 euros from the topper Scalding Tarn and then about 80 euros from the mythics(foil showcase Omnath ^^), rares and certain uncommons over 1 euro on mcm low..
Gotta say out of all the sleeper cards you hit, Sheltered by Ghosts and Calix Guided by fate is a disgusting combo. Getting temporary exile + ward 2 every turn snowballs, fast.
If I ever buy a box of magic again, I'm just going to have the mindset that I don't care of the value and I hope I get cool cards to play cardboard crack with. If I go in with the hope of somehow being able to sell a couple cards and get the value back I'm going to be sad 99% of the times. And that is not fun.
Isn't selling a small portion of a bulk lot for net profit kind of a ridiculous expectation though? Like, people just want free money as the baseline? If I could recoup a bit of the cost, have fun actually using the product, and had the chance to maybe hit a money card I think I'd be happy. I understand wanting value but I don't get these people that want guaranteed profit. Do they even like Magic to begin with?
Thank you for making this video! Especially as a new paper player, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what you got and if you ended up getting your money's worth.
I have to say, I've been surprisingly pleased with Duskmourn. I went into it with no real expectations but I think it's become my favorite set of the year. The theming is actually quite fun and even more than that, the cards themselves are spectacular - there's so much in this set I've gotten between prerelease, a draft, a box, and some miscellaneous packs that I've really really liked and can't wait to use in deckbuilds. Kadena in particular got lots of new toys for me to play with and that's very exciting for me
"Fear of failed tests" flavour adjustment suggestion: It currently draws cards based on combat damage dealt by itself, which doesn't really feel like a failed test to me. I would rather have it draw cards when something was attempted, but fails. Like casting a spell, only for it to be countered (draw when an opponent's spell is countered, a number of cards equal to the mana value of the countered card), or when an attack becomes blocked (...equal to the damage dealt to the blocking creature).
I have a bad habit of watching these review videos after I’ve already bought the product, but hey I rlly like this set so I’m glad to have gotten a box this time
if they just yeeted the collector boxes and gave us one collector slot a booster I'd be a little warmer to higher priced booster packs. but they didn't, and I'm not.
I think they should do that but still keep the collectors boxes. I personally have the expendable income to buy collector boxes and enjoy them. But I don't like the idea of ANYTHING being only available in one product. It'd be SICK af to open a random play booster and get a textured foiled Japanese art card. Even if that is at a crazy lower percentage rate.
@LS19981 I'm not sure what you mean. They already tell exactly exactly how many packs are in a box, and how many of each rarity are in each pack. Even how many lands are in the pack. Though none of that is stated on the packs, I'd like to see that be thing.
Time for the CAG to step up. Theres no reality that wotc doesn't bungle this and unban cards just to cram chase cards into new sets. Although a throacle ban would be appreciated at the higher level tables for me.
Love that this drops on a Monday and in the intro Prof says it’s Friday. Gotta love the delay in filming and editing this episode and the actual release.
Are the way they pack boosters different in the US? I live in Norway, and i am pretty sure that the token and rares are on the bottom here, i have also never opend a booster that does not have a ful art land in it.
Manufacturing in different places changes the order of the cards. There's some explanation somewhere online about why. It is apparently non-trivial to change. It's also why US collector boosters have the rares and mythics up front while the Japanese ones have them in the back (typically.preferred for more excitement).
Imo it's worth it for the price if you go by TCGplayer price of the singles, and the packs and planeswalkers are nice. It is funny that two of the decks can't run the Jace and ajani they come with
@@MartianSantas The most MoM expensive precon goes for ~$35 and the masters pack is ~$14 without shipping+fees so you are getting a couple of packs free. I actually just picked up a couple because I wanted the precons lol. I just wanted to share that the LoTR updated version of that bundle is coming soon. Both should be decent value, especially if you want the precons!
I really wish these videos were done with commentary. I honestly could not give even a single iota about the cards or their value, I'm just here to hear what the Prof has to say.
Great videos! just wanted to put out there for anyone thinking about ordering the Duskmourn 4 Deck Bundle from amazon through WOTC store front, at the moment some people are only receiving 1 of the ordered decks at the moment. Hopefully everyone who orders these beasties gets to play em.
I bought a box myself this set as I loved the horror themes and references included, but boy howdy. I'd have to admit after the 10th booster I started to reflexively just look at the rare and wild card foil to see what I got, and tossed the rest of the pack in a pile. I hardly got anything interesting in most of my packs. Basically what I'm saying is I miss play boosters 😅
can I ask prof, where are you getting boxes for 130 in person? stores buy boxes from distributors at $117, most stores can't sell boxes at 130 to keep the lights on unless you're a massive place with hundreds of card sales every day to make up for it
I quit buying boxes years ago, but i did always sell cards to get my money back to keep me with cards that will raise in price so i net positive on my expenditures and still retain value for my collection. Last cards i sold were 4 oko thief of crowns for 500 bucks
would you consider doing another unboxing where you talk throughout? I enjoy those while driving, like listening to a Podcast, and I can hear what you open!
here is a great idea, wotc could have a random "hidden gem" pack slot for a collector booster pack instead of having two products, make it more fun to open play boosters. could be a code/card redemption ticket that could be traded in to lgs or directly to wizards. idk, the idea of just having a fun to open pack of cards with different treatments is nice. set boosters were okay. but with the lack of specialized non foil cards in play boosters does not warrant any increase in prices. only answer=greed
To be fair, it is better than some recent sets. For a while, you had to get the one $50+ card or you would lose out. Now, you need to find a few of the $15-20 cards, which is better both statistically and as it means a lower entry point for buying singles.
Hey guys, what would you suggest to someone who wants to try to learn and gain an understanding of the Meta, I love watching the protour but feel kinda lost by the speed and wish I knew the strategies associated with certain deck and the staple cards ect. I've been playing arena on and off for a year or so, definitely still very much at the beginners level, but find I do understand the basics of the game. But the meta feels so overwhelming to try and understand and to know where to start, thanks 😁
Every single time I watch these I just think of the clip, when the maladies h booster box game came out, “ I get to keep the masterpiece, I get to keep the masterpiece🎉”
Draft and sealed is noticably harder, couldnt they just add 1 common to the packs and keep the old 15 card number. I think i would have had more options for sealed and a stronger draft of Bloomborrow.
As a new player, I completely agree with the whiplash. I get it that the weather is becoming fall but I was still into the plane of Bloomburrow so much more.
@@blasstois its not better as an older player (since original innistrad) i much preferred the block format. I preferred visiting and getting invested into a plane. War of the spark killed it for me and I took a break till bloomburrow. Im not a fan of hopscotch through planes but I guess its the world we live in now. (Maybe its just old man yells at clouds but it does bum me out)
I think part of it was bloomburrow being out for such a minuscule amount of time too, like a few weeks of cute animals and then directly into a completely tonally opposite plane in the span of just over a month is way too fast
Oooh, y'all. DefCat's "The Shrimpson Boys" that Rhodes bell coming in and hitting both sides of my ears (I had my headphones in for this one). Excellent lofi ambience right there
a bit off subject, but will there be a mgiccon 2025 in Vegas and will you be there doing the event again, if so I would happily come out and sling some spells
The only way to get value out of a box is keeping it sealed and selling it in like 2 years when the cards might be worth something. I'm always shocked when non youtubers buy a box.
I’ve always wondered… why is the order of cards different in the US than in the EU? We got commons first, then uncommons, then rares, then foil and token.
I bought a collectors box and pulled about 50 bucks worth of stuff for 45. Wasn't expecting that at all, I know I got lucky and Im pretty hapy about it

Honestly sounds really cool. Sadly I won't be in Vegas at the time, but I expect the event to be a hoot!
Can't wait! 😁
WotC has just been handed management of EDH ☠️☠️☠️
got told signed card is one time only, so i'm not sure about maintaining at that level if there's not much call for it

love the videos but will admit I prefer those where you talk over the unboxings.
real
I'm not even sure that's prof doing the unboxing in this video. :P Sometimes, the hand looks suspiciously not like Prof's.
I love the casual conversation. I really enjoy listening to the prof talk in the background.
Scandal!@@TrevHolland
There's nothing to say about this terrible set for this dead game
Let's be honest, at this point it's pretty evident Play Boosters (and probably even the Draft/Set booster split ahead of time) was all just an excuse to up booster prices instead of just idly blaming inflation.
oh yeah, that was clear from the beginning. Set boosters were fun, but these.. It's just draft boosters but actually worse.
This is if I ever buy a booster box, it will be one of the older ones. Perhaps DnD or Baldur's Gate
Ofcourse, not to mention the removal of deck boxes in bundles.
Pay more, get less.
Yup. It was juiced for a couple of sets with bonus sheets but that went away with BLB and definitely with DSK.
I heard a lot that game stores where just sitting on their draft boosters. I believe them when they say they had to consolidate them because set boosters were killing draft.
But I also believe they took that opportunity and milked it for as much as they could

Idk, lately watching box breaks of new mtg stuff just makes me want to watch the old frames ones

I hope the next "Tolarian Winds" that will have a spicy discussion about booster boxes and prices, will be named "Tolarian up-draft" for the occasion!
The sad part is in the north where money might as well be monopoly currency a play booster is $220cad before taxes.
Even with currency conversions there is a steep markup.
Damn, you're right. That's about 160 USD. Singles may have less of a gap though.
@@jaywinner328 Which is still less than retail stores are charging for this product. Foundations will be at your LGS for $170, hope you enjoy.
Thats why I split a box with 4 friends. I can't justify that price on my own dime
“Box number 2(3)”. Was perfect. Lol. I’m still chuckling to myself. Well played

If I go in with the hope of somehow being able to sell a couple cards and get the value back I'm going to be sad 99% of the times. And that is not fun.
Exactly, the only sets that are going to have resale value are Universes Beyond stuff, and Modern Horizons sets with their power creep.

$130 from your LGS is them making $15 on the box. It’s getting to be not worth us carrying them as much as it is not worth it for you to open them.
Isn’t that an 11.5% markup?
That’s awful margins. Definitely can’t have that taking up much shelf space, just pull them out for draft events I guess.
LGS gives me 40% I’d need 320 bucks 🎉
Don't sell to them, but selling cards one by one is also time consuming so I just don't do it.
No offense, but I'm glad I'm not the only one getting screwed by my LGS buylist prices.
they give 40%??? wtf???

Excited to see the Tolarian Winds for WotC acquiring the EDH rules committee
The investors are now the primary stakeholders in EDH.

Thank goodness we hit that second box!! I need something to watch while I wait in line for this SL to hopefully not be sold out XD
More value than I realized. I haven't been as fortunate. Especially with collector boosters

Its over 💀. I hope my comment ages poorly.

Time to resurrect actual EDH
cant believe this is how I found out lmao
I want your in-depth analysis of set vs play boosters. We’ve had enough time.
Love that this drops on a Monday and in the intro Prof says it’s Friday. Gotta love the delay in filming and editing this episode and the actual release.
Are the way they pack boosters different in the US?
I live in Norway, and i am pretty sure that the token and rares are on the bottom here, i have also never opend a booster that does not have a ful art land in it.

USA cards are printed in China I thought, European cards are printed in Belgium like all the old sets, Japan is printed in Japan
@@jonesyfromtheblock9635 Yes, and all of them are slightly different. Card stock, colors, foil quality, and order of cards in the pack, sometimes.
These are great, but the commentating over the pack cracking is half the fun!
Been watching you since 2017, finally supporting on patreon now that I’m working full time and I can’t wait for the signed sol ring!!
The cassette tape the Prof has pop up for music change feels especially on point for this set
Let’s goooo been waiting for this one!!
Those were some banger songs during the card openings!!
Weird how they come packaged rares first🤔 never seen that in the EU
I believe these are Japanese manufactured. These have the tear strip. US printed has the Pringle style wrapper seal

Random

As a new player, I completely agree with the whiplash. I get it that the weather is becoming fall but I was still into the plane of Bloomburrow so much more.
@@blasstois its not better as an older player (since original innistrad) i much preferred the block format. I preferred visiting and getting invested into a plane. War of the spark killed it for me and I took a break till bloomburrow. Im not a fan of hopscotch through planes but I guess its the world we live in now. (Maybe its just old man yells at clouds but it does bum me out)
I think part of it was bloomburrow being out for such a minuscule amount of time too, like a few weeks of cute animals and then directly into a completely tonally opposite plane in the span of just over a month is way too fast
Its because youre not playing enough black. Obviously.
Great set.
I'm interested in a valgavoth!!
I didn't even know you could get those special guest cards LOL I didn't get a single one in my box
1st card primo (the token) was worth 5 bucks when the set came out LOL. I swear tokens are where the real value is at these days!
I wish it was 130$ here in Spain, local game stores tag the boxes at 200$
Oooh, y'all. DefCat's "The Shrimpson Boys" that Rhodes bell coming in and hitting both sides of my ears (I had my headphones in for this one).
Excellent lofi ambience right there
I'm opening mine now...... four myrhics within the first four packs. Now five mythics, but two thirds the way through, and nothing much else.
a bit off subject, but will there be a mgiccon 2025 in Vegas and will you be there doing the event again, if so I would happily come out and sling some spells
The only way to get value out of a box is keeping it sealed and selling it in like 2 years when the cards might be worth something. I'm always shocked when non youtubers buy a box.
How hard are common and uncommon showcase cards to get? I only got one showcase uncommon from my collectors box. And maybe two from a play booster box
I will be there in vegas!!! I will bring my bird deck to challenge you!
Honestly this is why Card Kingdom gets so much of my money lol. Just barely pulled of that 130 dollars.
Did they even do any lore on the charecters in the cards like who is the person in the art of gremlin tamer what's their story
Sometimes there are novels/ short stories / comics
Im new to tcgs. If this is a new product how people determine the value of the cards or know the prices tho? Why it gets low or higher?
Supply vs demand
I got a collector booster yesterday and pulled 4 rares but nothing over value of $1 each
I wasn’t happy
Silly Professor! Boxes are for drafting!!! JK Crack that stuff!
I’ve always wondered… why is the order of cards different in the US than in the EU? We got commons first, then uncommons, then rares, then foil and token.
Depends on the set. Sometimes ours are like that
I bought a collectors box and pulled about 50 bucks worth of stuff for 45. Wasn't expecting that at all, I know I got lucky and Im pretty hapy about it
