Do I need a credit card to sign up on whatnot? 🙃
You made a slight error. You correctly said the normal version has 8 set boosters but your caption says 12
Thanks for the video prof, where I am I see them typically going around $120+, and I really like the treatment, but I could not see myself buy it at a $40+ price jump.
It is awesome that they do give a credit, just be aware that any credits or promotional funds from WhatNot do not go to shipping. You will still have to pay for what you buy or bid on.
I bought my compleat bundles for 57,50€ each. I think that's a fair price.
The number one thing I miss everytime I open a bundle is the book that had the cards in the set in them. I REALLY wish Wizards would bring those back
Dude yes
Seriously, I collected all I could. I was so frustrated when they took them out. :(
I totally agree.
Pokémon even does that in their bundles. Would be cool to bring it back
Those books are part of the reason I got into MTG because a friend of mine gave me a Journey into Nyx book and I spent a load of time planning decks from the Theros blocks
I saw these at my local Target for $85. I was getting ready to pick one up but then I noticed that one of the side flaps was opened, so I brought it to customer service to bring it to their attention. I offered to buy it if there was nothing missing from it and they allowed me to check it in front of them. Nothing was missing and they let me buy it at a 15% discount, so I actually got it for slightly less than MSRP. :)
Wow, that's lucky! Nice!
I hate you T_T , I paid $100
What's MSRP? Wizards doesn't believe in that anymore lol
@@canadianelite Well, below the $80. Silly me for forgetting that MSRP is taboo when it comes to Hasbro selling Magic.
If I happen to find one of these at Target/Walmart, I'm going to tear off the strip on the end of the box, take it to Customer Service and bargain for a discount.
Love how prof pulls like $200 from his compleat pack
After today that price is more likely $80-$100. Still great but not that high.
Still A waste
Just checked Mother is holding at 223.94 2/3/23
@@micahturner8297 Elesh Norn is $40 for a base copy. The special limited treatment norn will be at least $100 by herself. Vraska also a good card
@@micahturner8297 nah that's a very unique promo
Because of how valueless common and uncommon foils are and how universally useful basics are I'm actually really happy with getting 2 mythics and 10 basics in the compleat booster
I managed to get two boxes, so I have 100 foil lands now, that are all rather pretty. I'm stoked about it. They're being used for all my future sealed and draft events. :)
Yeah I'm with you. Basics are always needed, and I love having more art styles to choose from. Idk why he is so upset about the basics. You still need basics to play the game, and obviously you want to customize your favorite commander deck/decks.
Those 10 Oil Treated lands are worth a minimum of 25-30 dollars alone and are highly sought-after. Do wish they were easier to get. $80 is an A+++ Value. Prof missed on the value of this tbh
@@BigDirtyWon land is a land. art don't drive value unless it's an anime wifue then it get +20%. not anything else
Special foil common/uncommons would make them maybe like $1 extra. I much prefer the lands and I'm happy getting 2 of each. I'm also more than happy to see TWO mythics instead of bulk
The fact you're at least guaranteed 2 mythics in the compleat bundle is IMO, like a pity system from a gacha game: even if all of your boosters contain the worst jank possible, you're still getting something cool out of it.
Also, love that you get full art foil lands as well.
I kind of like the idea though the price is still too high even at $80. Prices will crash for most of the mythics and lands once they get open. I'd rather they do this for 60 and print the heck out of it
Imo?
And the rates cost an exponential amount more as well
@@mizzlchieizzl I thought the same thing when I first saw it in January for 80. I can’t believe people are paying 130+ for this. And Wizards will probably do it again bc it the hype was there and it sold so well. Ugh.
@@mizzlchieizzl Prices on the Oil Slick Mythics will not crash because it is a pretty exclusive printing with a special treatment on the best cards in the set... In what world would those things cause the price of these cards to crash lol...
I'm kind of annoyed they don't give you a phyrexian spin-down dice in the Compleat edition.
I agree. Or a special one for the Compleat edition.
It could've been so cool sadge
i remember the old spin down cards you got, that used to be so sort after.
@@jerrywilliams408 did you see the like 1 in 10 chance spin down they put in the prerelease kits? And yet they don't put one in the super special edition bundle? Robbery of the highest calibur.
@@sulfitedragon Yeah. I'm fine with chase things like they did with the prerelease kits. I collected sports cards for the better part of 30 years so I am used to that sort of thing. Spin downs are a staple of bundles. And they made special ones for special bundles in the past - Throne of Eldraine comes to mind. It seems the intent was to incentivize Compleat edition purchases with the spin down life counter, yet anyone can get one if they purchase $75 or more of product. But hey, that means more people can get their hands on a spin down life counter and that's great.
Loved the oil slick artwork. I picked one up for $79.98 from Walmart. Should arrive tomorrow, we will see if it was worth it!
I really like the abundance of basics in the complete edition. Basics are always usefull and it can be quite expansive if you want your commander deck to have matching alternate art basic lands. I rather get the garantued basics with cool art style then some random common or uncommon jank that I will never use.
Same. We draft a lot, this will make a good draft set of basic lands.
I am also in the same boat. Lands while may not be as exciting as actual spells, I think are more useful than a majority of commons, uncommons, rares etc. A lot of these low rarity cards you will likely not use in your deck in any format, heck some may not even cut it in Commander. But these special oil treatment foil lands and the Phyrexian foil full art lands I think do have some value to the player even if they do not hold a high price tag. I think having these cool lands be matching art and foil is quite neat. I would my Thassa God of the Sea Commander Deck to have those oil foil Islands in. Man what a beautiful sight that will be.
100% agree on the basics, especially the oil slicks.
Agreed, I always look at utility first then value/price.
*than
Bundles are simply one of the best casual products MTG has. Gift bundles especially. I always try to get at least one per set.
Not even just "casual", I prefer getting a bundle, and buying singles otherwise. Bundles have good value.
The premium bundle is all I buy now unless a precon comes out that I want. Then buy singles.
i like the boxes
Honestly, those oil slick lands are my favourite land art. They're...beautiful. Very close to the unfinity lands for me.
It was actually the set of full art and oil slick lands that made me want to get the Compleat Bundle. Sets boosters, a couple mythics, and then a solid quantity of the styled lands from the set. Totally worth the preorder and looking forward to picking mine up. Very much hoping the inclusion of full art lands becomes the norm for the premium bundles going forward. Would have loved this in the Brother's War gift bundle.
"Once the phyrexians got their capitalist claws on them"
Ironically the final forme of the bundle (no more fold out art, compact pull tab packaging) began in Kamigawa, the ramping of the Phyrexia Arc.
(Yes yes Kaldheim was a teaser)
The loss of the encyclopedia booklet was the biggest disappointment. It was great for cataloging your collection.
I soooo miss those booklets! Quick way to just browse the cards!
Miss the old ones with a book, and a pamplet of a visual checklist of the set with little tid bits about the main people, those were the days~!!
also, wish your stream was on the weekend, and not during prime work day hours :(
Pretty happy I got to preorder my Compleat bundle as a birthday gift to myself when it was at 80, and I'm glad you shouted out that it is a gift bundle. I really just love unique basics so those oil slicks were really what I'm after, and everything else is an absolute bonus :D
The compete edition booster getting a fair shake at $30 makes it more interesting than any secret lair
I bought a Compleat edition at $80 and am so excited for it to arrive!! I'm honestly happy that I found it at market value!
Not enough people are talking about the colossal supplier screw up wherein load sof stores are not getting their allocations. I know of one that got 2% of their previously allocated amount. Lots of unhappy people waiting for their refunds.
Good Ole wotc greed
Has this been proven? Call me paranoid, but I seriously wonder if these game stores are saying that so that they can later claim that they were able to get more but now have to charge $140 because of the scarcity.
@@nicks4802 pre-order from amazon. it's almost always cheaper for bundles than local stores and you're guaranteed one. i was able to pre-order one like a day after prices began to spike
@@jarodtresner3706my lgs was legit selling the compleat bundles $150 on pre-order in January. I got lucky and managed to pre-order from Amazon for $80. I have been buying from big box stores because lgs are just asking for way more.
As much as I want to support LGS, I could never get ahold of anything because they were sold out extremely fast. I ended up going to Target and Barnes and Noble for regular bundles but I got lucky pulling Elesh, Mondrak and Atraxa from them.
I actually love the variety of different foils and products available.
Over the years, I have really come to appreciate these videos. As always, thank you very much my friend! GLHF!
I for one am glad that my local store had these at 125AUD (~85 USD at time of writing) which is lower that the other major stores in my area, and as someone who really loves embossed cards in YGO as well, I really love the compleat edition.
Regarding the "Phyrexian Spin-Die Counter"... If you're not absolutely set on having a magic-themed item such a shown, you can find the same thing at any local craft store. It is called a "stitch counter" and is used by knitters. I've used one for years as a life counter--until such time as the phone apps provided greater versatility (registering poison counters, etc.).
Some insane luck from the compleat promo pack
200+ bucks, so it accidentally was worth it alone if he paid resale price for the Compleated bundle. Hooray gambling!
For real... those are the exact two cards I still really want from that pack. I'd happily take a regular version from a set booster, though, Wizards.
Yeah and of course he chooses not to share the value.
I literally said "what the f**k" out loud when he pulled those two mythics.
Low key paying for the next two videos
Thank you for the review. I'm hoping to find some around that 90 mark since I just love the phyrexian oil treatment and want the lands for a deck. Like you said, they're basics, but I love the style they bring
I wanted to say I just got my deck box in, and it is the most amazing thing I have ever saying. Thank you so very much I'm going to cherish this forever and if it lasts long enough I'm going to pass this down to my children. I can't thank you enough and I hope that you are able do sell more and design more in the years to come
A set box in Australia is around $220, and I got a Compleat bundle for $90AUD. For me I think the Compleat bundle was well worth the price, and the oil slick lands and mythics are just absolutely gorgeous
Complete under $60 pre order was 100% worth it :) **Update, pulled 200 $ in cards roughly lol God the oil lands are so nice
Elish norin is $92.04
Good video as always! I gotta say I grabbed the compleat edition for $80 at target and my biggest appeal WAS the basic lands. I was super happy with my overall pull, but it was definitely worth it at retail IMO. The markup prices are wild
I'm really looking forward to getting your deck box sometime in the next couple months.
Congrats on pulling M.O.M Professor! I'm hoping to get one in any treatment for play. If I don't crack one in my bundle I'll just pick up her most basic form as a single.
12 Boosters $48. Current pricing is around $45-60 for all the foil basics. $30ish dollars for the oil slick lands not including whatever mythics you pull. As the current value sits $80 is great value for (current) market. Everything after the set boosters and foil lands put it over the $80 market price.
The oil lands will easily reach Galaxy Foil land prices, that means they are ALONE worth 80$.
Prof was EXTREMELY off the mark on that one.
Too many product, not enough money
Wish I could buy this, but I'm saving up for Eldraine.
I love that the prof pulled the best possible pulls from the compleat edition pack. I got probably the worst ones between the two boxes I purchased. Also, word to the wise, if you bought these for profit, or just are a single card collector (like myself) sell your oil slick/dupe oil slicks ASAP. The day I opened ichormoon gauntlet (twice), it was $60. When I finally got to my lgs after work, to trade in for some sleeves and more packs, the cards market value had already fallen to less than $40.
I got a compleat bundle start of February for 68 USD… I got so lucky
REALLY!! Yah, you did, I can't find it lower than $120, so I can't get one at the moment...
Heck yeah bro, Amazon just listed it for $80 so I bought 2
Walmart had them listed for 70$
@nathaniellazo5912 they were on Amazon like 2 days ago for $80. Have been $80 on Amazon, Target, and Walmart multiple times over the last month lol
@@nathaniellazo5912 I got it from Josh’s cards last month… I was shocked to cop one for that low
Thanks for the info. I was wondering what was in the special booster and now I know!
I won't buy either because I have more basic lands than I can use and it makes me feel bad to buy a bundle that throws 40 more at me. Still for folks that like them, I'm glad they're available :)
the oil slick lands are honestly why i bought in, theyre the best looking lands so far
Same I want to keep the box unopened but the oil slicks are so nice looking.
@@NinjaJerky it's a worthwhile open, I got mondrak and atraxa, sold atraxa, bought another sealed box for later lol
I just succumbed to the temptation. Got my slick lands. No Atraxa but Lukka and the Ichormoon Gauntlet. Going to try your strat to get some more lands and hopefully a lucky pull!
Opened 2. Just the Compleated pack in each valuated the 2 Mythics and 10 lands at (105.00, Nissa, Lukka, 10 Lands) and (130.00, Mondrak, Jace, 10 Lands). Add 12 set boosters (3 short of half a box) valuated at 36 to 48 bucks. The Set Boosters is where you lose money. 24 packs valuated at 96 bucks. The 4 notable pulls from those 24 packs, Norn (38.00) Vraska (12?) All will be one (9.00) Urtet (7.00) total out to 66 bucks, with the rest of the rare/mythic (23 total) totaling out at 15 bucks maybe? So, you're at 81 dollars in value (-15.00) WITH a Norn Pull had you bought these as packs. Now, the waiting game to see if WoTC prints more and does a second wave. If they do, watch the Market plummet.
Fun fact: Bundles are among my favorite sealed product, just after pre-release kits. I like collecting the spindowns and keeping cards from the set in the box.
Honestly in terms of value if you can get the compleat edition for about 80 or less it's almost worth it just in the oil slick lands with for the two of each land type goes for around 64 usd at time of release plus everything else in the box. But it's only worth it if you have the extra money to spend
Casually opens $180 in mythics from one Compleat pack...
It takes 40 minutes to drive to my nearest LGS but I do have a target. Found two of the compleat bundles for $80, my friend pulled Elesh, Vraska, and Sword of feast & Famine...and so much more...I got the value out of mine as well however no where near his crazy pulls. The oil slick cards are way cooler in person than I thought they would be. While we don't plan on selling them his came out around 300+ dollars and mine was close to 100 dollars
My compleat bundle arrived today and the lands were very pretty, but I’m glad they had extra boosters too. I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t have another dice 😅 I like collecting the oversized spindowns. Felt happy with my purchase at preorder of £60, but now they’re going for quite a bit more I wouldn’t of got it at any higher price.
Honestly if I could buy just the compleat booster on its own for 20 bucks, easiest decision ever. The lands themselves are selling anywhere from 5-8 dollars at the moment and I really love the design of them. I don't really wanna pay that much for a land on its own though. I will eventually, but I'm not gonna enjoy it. Not to mention that Elesh Norn, that's like 50 bucks and also something I really wanted. I'd buy like 4-5 of those boosters just for the lands and whatever the other two cards I'd see as a bonus.
I always feel like they're overly stingy with basic lands, despite you talking about how many basics are in there. I get real picky about wanting my basic lands in decks to match both in frame and thematic style, and while those oil slick lands look amazing, to build a commander deck with them, I'd need closer to 6 of each basic which puts them out of reach to do for a deck.
I've found in the past when I see the amazing treatment on basic lands, I then get disappointed that I just can't get enough to do a deck in that style for a reasonable price. We should get a lot more basic lands in addition to the rest in these packs. Give people enough of those treatments to at least build a deck or two in them. Basics are so ubiquitous they should be able to add all that in without breaking the bank or secondary market.
I got mine shipped out yesterday (havent gotten it yet, obviously) and I paid about 95$. For someone that lives in Norway where everything is more expensive in general, and having to pay VAT on almost everything, I am extremely happy :) It got sold out* really quickly though, so I consider myself lucky. Stuff like this is extremely niche over here.
I got mine at $80, I’ll say if you love the set, the Phyrexian flavor (which I absolutely do), it’s totally worth it at $80. Otherwise probably not, especially at the mark ups. Great pulls Prof!!😮
Thanks, Professor! I was just about to go to my LGS to get one for 140 not researching ahead of time. I watched this getting ready to go get one and instead just bought a set booster box.
Thanks again!
Casually opens 2 of the best oil-slicked mythics
Right that is what I was thinking lol
Ellesh Oil Treatment only worth minimum $200, pffh, just another day at the College.
@@shado7418 yeah no biggie
Managed to get my compleat bundle for £65 today (around $78 at current exchange rates) and managed to pull Atraxa from the compleat booster, so I’m happy with that. I did see them going for £100 in several other stores ($120) so I think I’m quite lucky that I managed to get mine at the price that I did.
All basics aside, you opened the 2 mythics I would want to open in the Compleat edition. I'm probably gonna gamble on one and hope I get the same as you. Or a Tyvar in place of the Vraska would be cool too. I live in a dream world
Tyvar is not a Mythic and does not come in this. Compleated Walkers, Domini, and a few misc others like Norn, Gauntlet, Sword, and Rex
@Dante Beleren you're right. I always forget Tyvar is a rare because I like him more than most of the mythic walkers in this set
Those "oil slicked" lands are GORGEOUS!
I will say that I got my Compleated Bundle for the original price of 60 Euro which (based on the price of the regular bundle) I think was a fair-ish way to price it, ignoring that Fat Packs were much less as well. But a 140 Euro or Dollars seems like a big price to ask for whats 12 Set-Booster and some nice goodies.
Where did you get it for 60? It was 80 on Amazon EU.
@@jenzo42 - I sell my gift bundles at 65usd
@@jenzo42 It was briefly at 60 Euro for a day or two right after Christmas.
@DismemberTheAlamo In EU? Not worth it from US with shipping + taxes.
Just wanted to say thanks for exposing us to whatnot. Was able to get two MH2 set boosters for 8 dollars and pulled an endurance and marsh flats!
Prices are going to tank so hard on these because so many people are going to open them - be patient and buy singles!!!
I bought a regular bundle the day of release for 35$ from my LGS in West Michigan and pulled between 30$ and 40$ worth of cards, an ok buy. I got a Compleated Bundle today for 130$ out the door and it was the last one. Pulled Ichormoon Gauntlet and Vraska, Betreyal's Sting for my Oil Slick cards, around 100$ or so worth of cards. Haven't opened the Set boosters yet so all of that is just gravy on top in my opinion. The best part was the red and white Phyrexian 100 point spindown life counter that my LGS was giving away for every Compleated Bundle bought. Its just like the life counter from the Nicol Bolas Archenemy box-set but has the Phyrexian symbol on each side of it. Just the life counter alone is going for 40$-50$ on Ebay. All in all, the Phyrexia All Will Be One Compleated Bundle was absolutely worth it, for me at least!!!!!! Cheers and may Lady Luck forever be on all your sides.
Pulled atraxa and nissa in compleat bundle booster and yea, worth it to me
I found them for $85...love them! Grabbed 2. Thinking they might get bought up or go up in price. I love the land bundles...quality I haven't seen since battle for zendikar.
I got lucky on oil slick pulls. Atraxa, all will be one, phyrex oblit, and sword of whatever. When I checked, #2, #4, #9, #15 in value
Anyone else remember when we could get fat packs for 30? Those were the days.
Hey prof! I've been following your channel for several years and I'm excited to say that I've finally plucked up the courage to start doing my own openings too! The only catch is that I'm in drag ;)
I compleatly agree. Oil never pay that much for some slick basics. That's a dev-Elesh price far beyond the Norn and I hope these market conditions are foiled in time.
Of my gosh! I'm so jealous that you got Elesh Norn, MoM!!!! I love that oil slick treatment, but I'm sad it's so prohibitive...
The gift bundles (this includes the compelat) are not delayed due to production issues, they are by nature.
Looking at the release catalogue all the way back from DMU and thru LoTR they are all about a month after release.
Also 80?? Lol... 65 here baby. My customers arent walking wallets
Our local game store sold the bundles for $65. My son got one with his birthday money and he got the oil Elesh Norn and Atraxa. He's very happy with his purchase. :)
What I want in a Gift bundle: Basics in all variants, 2 Boosters of every kind (draft/set/coll.) with PRINTED explanation of what can be in what product, the box and the spindown wheels. Plus something cool from the set, like a little plastic Skrelv toy or a powerstone keychain miniature from BRO.
"The Compleat Edition might not be worth it." *proceeds to pull two of the best Mythics from the Compleat pack* I love when stuff like this happens. Also, yeah even though they are just basic lands, those cards are soooooo nice.
His take was insanely bad on that one.
Even if you ignore the mythics. The oil lands alone will sell for at least the same price than unfinity galaxy basics, that's 8 bucks a piece, and you get 10 of them, which means that the lands ALONE will pay for the whole pack.
@@Pers0n97 Even so, these "lands ALONE" are not gonna pay for your 140 bucks, or only barely. Also, it appears that they are currently selling for around €2 each, so your assessment is actually wrong.
@@drakegrandx5914 The boxes aren't 140bucks, they are 80, and at that price there's a good chance for the lands ALONE to pay that back.
Also, nah, the lands aren't selling at 2 right now. Not all of them (the swap is bare minimum 5) and you can bet that this is the lowest they'll ever get, it's going to go up from here.
@@Pers0n97 If you find this box selling anywhere for €80, please give me a hint, because my undestanding was that you can only find them at inflated retailer prices-
@@drakegrandx5914 Wotc literally dropped them at 80 for months and month, even as late as the first of this month.
I'm such a fan of the boxes, they are very good storage, and I love having artwork. The packs inside have always felt a little lack luster to me, and what I really wish was that the complete edition was the regular and only edition for $40. Maybe then Wizards could have focused on making more for everyone and bringing prices down? I love the inclusion of the extra special mythics, as I've always felt the boxes have needed something else to make them really pop. Including some different useful dice for once instead of paper pop outs would be really nice. Like +1/-1 dice, or that fancy spinning life counter, or dice with keyword soup on them! Maybe throw in a pack of sleeves?
Good thing I paid the premium at $80. If it went $100. I wouldn’t get it all. Thanks Prof for the analysis.
I’m buying at around the $80 price point and I can’t wait to double sleeve these lands! I think they’re the Compleated Bee’s Kneees!!! Bio mechanical knees of course
hasbro destroyed magic...
The oil slick lands and the full art foil phyrexian text lands were what sold it for me. The raised oil slick treatment is probably one of my favorite things I’ve ever gotten on a magic card
I GOT AN OIL ELESH NORN EPIC MOMENT
Currently being scalped in the UK for £99.99 or $120 USD if you prefer.
I was initially tempted by the "oh, that's another fancy full art land I like" but there's only so many decks worth of basic lands you can have - and that's when it first landed at £65 ($78 USD)
Available on Cardmarket for £90. I wouldn't call that scalping since one must take into account import taxes and delivery fees if ordering from abroad, and local UK stores are sadly very, very short on stock lately on just about everything; even card sleeves.
i miss when each fat pack had a physical book with the story of the set/block in it
Great review Prof. I picked this up in the UK for about £70 inc. postage as a pre-order which felt reasonable as most UK stores had sold out and others were selling for £100. I picked it up primarily for the oilslick lands for my blinged out Atraxa deck, cool looking storage box and a chance for a something cool in the mythic slots. Ended up with the new Atraxa and Ichormoon Gauntlet! Very happy way to start the weekend. The oilslick lands look like they'll be in the £2 range. That's £20 in the compleated booster before factoring mythics, plus the rest of the box value - But I wouldn't have wanted to spend £100 on this for the reasons you laid out. I was pretty lucky with my set booster pulls, with another atraxa and 4 or the 12 boosters containing list cards, all playable mythics and rares (goldspan dragon being the big one!).
i got lucky enough to get one of these without fail and i agree wholeheartedly that if by chance you don't receive your preorder do write the company involved in packaging the product. write them as aggressively as you would yell at a person behind a counter trying to help keep the lights on for some gamers.
I agree with the prof as usual. I have two on the way at 80 and could get one more at that if I desire.
I am less skeptical of anything when I get what I want out of it.
If I was buying at above that I would not buy and then hold a grudge.
Thank you again professor.
By the way I’m keeping both sets sleeved separately for a draft experience in the future. It seems designed for this.
Maybe partially sleeved anyways.
Off topic but I am so here for that tie. Killing it, prof.
Oh man.. he casually pulls Vraska and Elesh Norn in the compleat pack. Those are two cards on my list that I want with the oil slick treatment. I think these are great value for people who want something above and beyond the normal. The normal set extended lands alone are great, then you add the Phyrexian lands and then you add the oil slick lands. Decent promo. 12 set boosters and the compleat pack. For 60-80 bucks, this is great value.
Thanks for the sign up bonus prof! Definitely gonna use it to rebuild my collection
The Compleated bundle the professor hit had the 1 and number 4 top cards to pull. About 100 bucks plus 40 for the lands just in that Compleated pack.
I went and picked one up for my channel... I paid 90 at my lgs for it. It did miss out on including a dice. I am actually happy that I picked it up and plan on keeping the box to hold my extra cards that are waiting to go into a binder
Thanks for the mention of us game store employees. You probably just saved me some frustrating interactions 😂
Does anyone else miss the deck boxes that used to be included? I know they were only good for unsleeved decks, but when you're just tossing together a quick desk and don't have the sleeves (or want to bother with them) it's nice to have extra boxes that mostly fit to the deck size.
Watching this video 9 months after it came out, it’s crazy to see how much those oil-slick lands have aged well. One oil slick swamp is about $8-$10. The others are about $4-$6 each. Wild!
I got 2 compleat bundles in the mail today. Keeping my fingers crossed for some pulls. I feel better about the price after this video now for sure.
I liked that trick with the phyrexian language lands you did in the beginning, with white leading the other colors in the march
Fun fact, those oil slick lands now go for $35 for the set of 10.
Those basics look soooooooooo GOOOOOOD HOLY SHIT, best basics I've seen. Unfinity sets are second/third best now
The oil slick lands are about $3 each and the worst two mythics are $15/$20. That is $65 in value minimum for the pack. Prices will fall of course, but those numbers are good right now and you can recoup a lot of value selling what you don’t need.
I got in early and was able to get the Compleat bundle for $80 + Tax. My Brother did the same. The Phyrexian treatment on the lands makes them look really good and are worth more than your average full art in my opinion. The only disappointment I had was not getting a single card worth more than $3 in any of the set boosters- but I guess that's a gamble when you buy boosters (but with 12 you'd think you'd get at least one valuable card). The oil slick treatment on the cards is fantastic but only time will tell if they hold up and don't curl or start separating from the face (they have slightly raised parts that look like layers glued on).
Welcome to the Club of Elesh Norn owners 😂. Also got some Atraxa in Oil Slick foil from the bundles.
Good video btw Prof. 😉
I hope that giveaway goes wonderfully, Professor! I'd rather play MTG with someone than watch whatnot stuff hahaha xD
Thanks for the video!
This is what i wanted to see
Small note: you wrote 12 instead of 8 at 8:15
Spent $90 for mine (80 + shipping). It hasn't come yet but I'm glad I picked mine up when I did. I'm excited to see what I get but personally the basics make it almost worth it to me alone. I absolutely love how they look and, yeah, maybe I'm a sucker but I just really like the treatment to the Compleat Edition lands.
Did you get it? How was it?
Good luck finding these for MSRP. Also the click down is 100% associated with the compleat bundle. "To support the release of the Bundle: Compleat Edition, we sent bone-white Phyrexian Click-wheels with your Phyrexia: All Will Be One promo kit. It isn't time to use them quite yet-save them for the start of the promotional period beginning March 3." -Directly from the WPN website. It seems pretty obvious this is intended for the compleat bundle due to them asking stores to keep them until it's release.
WotC kept dumping them in small burst on amazon at 80 all the way to release. I even got 2 more the first of this month, still at 80$.
I used to buy fat (bundle) packs to do limited games with friends, as we'd each get a fat pack do some sealed games and have a few nice things and packs leftover. I mean you could play it out of the box without anything else.
You can't do this anymore because they are set boosters...
It was quite good back in the day when you didn't want to buy a full box.
I pre ordered it as soon as it was announced back in december for 60€. Best decision ever.
I latterly got the same exact cards as you did in your compleate pack
I literally cried when Prof revealed that Elesh Norn, especially right as he's talking about value. I mean, I agree in that it would've been dope if there were just one of each land, and then a few other cards with the same treatment, like some commons/uncommons, or even a rare or two, and the price markups. I was only able to secure one of these things before they sold out everywhere, and I adamantly refuse to pay this insane markup, and I pulled Jace and Tyrranax Rex as my oil mythies, and was lucky enough to get a Sword of Forge and Frontier from one of the included packs. So, based on those three cards alone, I got about $60 works of the $85 I spent after taxes/shipping on it. But, damn. I was really hoping to pull an Atraxa or Elesh for my oils, or at least from the packs.
I feel like It’s worth mentioning That in the complete bundle if you look at the list of the cards you could pull from that pack and there Market practice today before the drop. How much on average would you be likely to pull. To know what the pack could be worth. Is it likely you’ll pull 200 bucks or is the yield around 60.
