    Honestly, until I found your channel, I had no idea that buying singles was more cost effective than cracking packs. I mean I played in middle school, so like 1996ish, had few resources then and not too much access to local game stores, then fell out of MTG by High School. Picked it up more recently and grabbed some boxes, just because cracking packs was fun.I honestly didn't realize all the resources out there or that you could construct decks online and then buy those cards specifically (lol, clearly I lived in a cave). Your videos have really helped me enjoy the MTG experience so much more (not just financial tips, but deck construction, and product reviews). So, I'm glad you remind us that buying singles can be a way to go. :) Thanks so much for your fantastic channel!

    After watching this video, I just want to say that I enjoy watching these videos. It helps me decide if that set is worth buying a box or just a bundle (fat) pack. Keep up the great work prof! Love what you do!

    @0:40 the plamats text blends so good with the on screen text, I was confused for a moment why point 4 of the plan was "aquire legacy folis".

    As far as I pre-purchased my set booster box from my LGS, I loved pulling it with my brother because we wanted SO MANY different cards. We had a blast and pulled very well, I got a foil extended Coffers, we had five fetches(two tarns, no Flats), none of that is even the rest of the awesome rares and mythics, and the prerelease we participated in I had a HUGE blast playing Asmora/Cookbook/2 step through, with a white recursion package along with my discard stuff, and my brother pulled a foil Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth.
    Do what you enjoy as a consumer and a player. We bought a couple singles, we traded some, and we bought one box and played one sealed. It's your game(except secret lair...)!

  • @AdamRiveraMusic77
    @AdamRiveraMusic77 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I love watching these professor! Keep um coming! Personally I play limited a bunch keep what I want and trade in what I don’t to my LGS. Opening sealed product w/out playing with the contents is sacrilege to me. :p

    Hello Professor! I follow you here since the last year and I just saw your TYSO interview. I can't invite you over dinner because I live on the other side of the world but if you ever come to Italy I'll treat you to all the pasta and pizza (or anything else) you'll eat!

  • @davidapodaca9218
    @davidapodaca9218 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Since I'm new to MTG, buying a box makes some sense to me. I watch your booster box game videos to see if the value of a box is worth the chance of getting the most diverse and best cards from each set. Thank you for your videos that have helped me to get into this fun game!

  • @bdellovibrioo5242
    @bdellovibrioo5242 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad you were able to create this video ten days ago, and not yesterday, when the box would have melted into a puddle as you bring it home from your Seattle LGS.

  • @DanielGonzalez-mw1mp
    @DanielGonzalez-mw1mp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The value in this set is so good that theoretically, when the Prof got a $500+ box, one could keep buying boxes with the profits and go on an endless loop of getting cards and boxes for free

    @supplanter_j5946 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’d love to reiterate the statement at the end, they make a much better margin from singles and it’s a lot easier to move the sealed product of sets like this so if you really just want to buy something and can’t decide which of the two please do consider the singles you need and help your store keep things going :)

    I always buy singles, I rarely if ever buy packs, glad to hear that it actually helps the game stores more to do so. I'm not sure how anyone can think that's the only thing the professor says on this channel, there's a lot of helpful information about cards and magic in general here.

  • @jonhylow1239
    @jonhylow1239 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great track : The last time I saw Uran Zorb, was around 10 years ago I think. It s cool that they brought it back. I always like it, when they resurrect some of the old cool cards. Can`t wait for the next historic anthology set.
