- Today we are going to revisit Strixhaven with a Collector box break!
Strixhaven itself might not be a hugely successful set but one thing that struck gold were the inclusion of Mystical Archives. Particularly the Japanese alt art mystical archives. Let's see how we fair in this box!

Fun fact: Strixhaven collectors was the best single pack (financially) I’ve ever opened. Had an alt art demonic tutor and a foil alt art teferi’s protection. Just a monster pack.
Whoa! That is a dream pack! Congrats!
Have always loved this set and the alt arts. Got a few decent things myself, but that last pack of the video was an awesome one. That was an etched TPro and a foil faithless looting which is big money. Congrats to HFF, especially for a first break
After the video I looked up the faithless. It was a good hit before yesterday. It’s even better now!
Must be newbie luck lol
The japanese alt demonic tutor has constantly eluded me. I have collected full sets of all the alt cards in this set. My favorite artwork, even if the cards are in japanese.
Yeah, one day I am going to pull one of those Demonic Tutors and will proceed to freak right the heck out! 😂
Nice Takeshi's Castle/MXC reference!
Thank ya!
That last red card was faithless looting. It's like 70 bucks right now nice!
I looked it up after and then it was unbanned a couple days later. What a hit now, right?!
Strix breaks and not battles are the way to go. I remember PoA hating both these and Kaldheim battles, and not just because of Battle Mammoth and Channel being in the sets.
Personally this set was never my friend and I just couldn't get into the Wizard College (totally not a Wizarding School) theme, but the Mystical Archives are the bomb. Still fun to watch just for those! Thanks to Wildcat and the Patrons for the fun throwback!
- edit - Oh yeah I forgot, wasn't the Mystical Archives a totally horrible idea and having them in every pack destroyed the value and brought about the beginning of the 'game piece' era? 🤔😉
Strix itself is a pretty awful set. The most impactful card an uncommon and it got banned. 😂 The Japanese archives were a home run.
as someone rebuilding a constructed magic collection, i buy a lot of strixhaven singles and i love the art.
Hard agree. Strixhaven JP alt archives are some of my favorite art pieces in modern magic.
Faithless Looting
Yup! Good call!
Love the strixhaven set great video
Thanks! This was fun to revisit. I may have to run it back with Strix again soon.
That last red Japanese alt art was faithless looting. Believe it or not but right now it’s worth like $46 on TCGPlayer lol
I looked it up right after I stopped filming. Then I checked the price again after the unban. What a hit now, eh?! 😂
@ yeah it’s absolutely insane 😂 I checked my strixhaven cards and sadly no faithless looting 😭😂
Gods Willing
The art is really similar and I didn’t think it was correct but I could not for the life of me remember that God’s Willing was in the set too.
@@WildcatMTG I collect the JP Strixhaven cards (and the English mystical archives) so that's the only reason. I don't think it's common knowledge! :)
The 4 mana red mythic is Mizzix’s Mastery.
The blue uncommon was in fact strategic planning 😂
And the last card was Faithless Looting. More for the viewers than for the creator.
I appreciate it! After not opening Strix for so long it was hard to remember so I appreciate the backup. 😂
👍
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Second last pack one mana white card is gods willing, not swords to plowshares ;)
Yes, yes it was! They’re kind of similar on art and it didn’t feel completely correct when I was guessing so I looked it up after. Other notable “could not remembers” were grapeshot, faithless looting, and strategic planning. 😂
There is only one Mystical Archive with Flashback, it’s Faithless Looting. The Japanese Art looks way better than the American
Good call!
consider yourself made fun of ;) .... love those japanese alts, this set was *very* kind to me
If this is the worst I get it then I’ll consider myself incredibly fortunate! 😂 The Strix JP Alt Archives are really incredible.
