Ive purchased boxes from reputable sources which have those little cuts and I've pulled plenty of valuable cards from those boxes. I think the cuts are an anti-tamper measure as trying to peel the end open will likely cause the pack to tear.
It is. That's how long the poster was out of the game, but those cuts have been there for anti tampering for sometime. Essentially, if the cut goes all the way to the edge and splits the edge in 2, don't buy it.
Damn relaxing video! Nice music, soothing voice and seeing my favorite tcg! :) Return to Ravnica is my favourite theme and imo has the best artwork, go Boros Legion!!
Happy 2018! More vids coming down the pipeline including more NieR, First Look Fridays, and maybe some more TCG stuff ;) Support your local game store! I bought these from Ebay because here in Japan, I'm extremely limited to what I can buy in English, that's why I shop mostly online. If you have a local game store that sells cards that you like and isn't charging too much, buy cards from them. Better to support your local store to ensure they stay in business!
Happy new year Kinetic! I dont have the oppertunity to play POE this league the remaining period of it - because I have to move and lots of stuff going on, but I can already tell you that Abyss is a beast league and I have had alot of fun with it. Just small recommendation :)
true. the cuts makes VERY hard to reseal the pack... the thing in, here where i live the boosters boxes are all opened when the product arrives in the aduana, for inspection... at that moment some of the cuts are unfortunately riped... that does not causes the booster to oppen, and nobody can see anything inside, but for some of the players it gets suspicious...
My mtg toolkit booster pack all have 1/2 slits on top and bottom of the packs but all looks like it’s has a thermal seal on it, no indication of of pressed sealed glue on all boosters,is this a factory seal defect?
Hi!! I've read on a online fb community about some random buys of mtg boxes that sometimes bring some good stuff. They are cheap, but sometimes bring some good cards- i dont remember for absolute shure but i gess they are a japanese version of walmart cubes but a lot more valuable. Have you seen some of those? By the way, the youtube algorithm was that brought me here, so i dont know if you already talked about it on your channel. if that happened sorry for the comment and let me know here ( cause i'll b notified) and i'll check it. Thank you for share!
should the packs open the same way from both ends? I bought a box yesterday and all the packs were difficult to peel open the crimped part on one side and very easy on the other. red flag?
As Ed said, depends on the format you want to play. There are many ways to play Magic. I like to play Standard and Block. Block is when you just play cards from a block and the sets within. For example, I can play Return to Ravnica block, and use any of the cards I find within these blue, red, and yellow packs against other decks made from the same block. This is fun to me because I like to keep the theme consistent and not mix too many styles since a lot of different blocks have their own themes. Standard is similar, but uses only recent blocks/sets this way. For more on formats, check this link magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/rules-and-formats/formats So my advice is, depending on who you're going to play with, and how you will play with each other will depend on what cards/sets/blocks you want. I hope that helps. Also, another link, this time to talk more about what sets and blocks are. mtg.gamepedia.com/Block
KineticGTR ok so I guess ixalan is a block so there’s one out already and another ixalan is coming out soon? I’d probably go for these if that’s correct because they’re easy to get
So Ixalan and Rivals of Ixalan are two different sets that are part of the same block. They are new, easy to get, and it's what a lot of people will probably want to explore and play in the current Block format. Some recent older blocks are still easy to get, almost the same price, and fit into Standard format. Just pick and choose what looks fun to you based on the format you want to play and who you'll play with. Hope that helps :)
Hey genius, packs have the factory made slit top center of the pack so it can be opened easier for the customer without damaging the cards. Again the slit is factory made duh
Ive purchased boxes from reputable sources which have those little cuts and I've pulled plenty of valuable cards from those boxes. I think the cuts are an anti-tamper measure as trying to peel the end open will likely cause the pack to tear.
Yup. They are meant to tear in a way that they cannot be resealed.
It is. That's how long the poster was out of the game, but those cuts have been there for anti tampering for sometime. Essentially, if the cut goes all the way to the edge and splits the edge in 2, don't buy it.

Oh god the artwork is sooooo goood /melts

Happy New Year bro!
Happy new year Kinetic!
I dont have the oppertunity to play POE this league the remaining period of it - because I have to move and lots of stuff going on, but I can already tell you that Abyss is a beast league and I have had alot of fun with it. Just small recommendation :)
Yay! You're not dead!
The Chromatic Lantern tells me this isnt resealed. Great card!!!
Oh snap! You finally uploaded again!
Awesome , plz do more of these openings
Sounds fun to me. What sets/blocks would you be interested in seeing?
$100 for all those is pretty good! A booster box is around $40 for 10 packs of a certain set. Good luck with pulls!
The cuts are to 1) help make opening packs easier and 2) make it harder for douchebags to reseal packs.
true. the cuts makes VERY hard to reseal the pack... the thing in, here where i live the boosters boxes are all opened when the product arrives in the aduana, for inspection... at that moment some of the cuts are unfortunately riped... that does not causes the booster to oppen, and nobody can see anything inside, but for some of the players it gets suspicious...
Also the card order can be a giveaway... usually the last 5-6 cards will be 3 unc, rar/mtr, foil(maybe), land, token/advertisment.
I had one booster pack with those cuts top and bottom... ohhhh boy it had a $20 card in it!
My mtg toolkit booster pack all have 1/2 slits on top and bottom of the packs but all looks like it’s has a thermal seal on it, no indication of of pressed sealed glue on all boosters,is this a factory seal defect?
Keep your eye out for the black cat, I think it's in the core set. It looks pretty lame but it's amazing
my packs always tear when I try to open them even if i"m trying really carefully. Is that a sign they're legit??
Never ever buy from eBay if you do expect everything you get , resealed you tampered with , i don’t care how many good reviews they have
Happy new year!

thank you for the reference. i just got taken on an ebay too good to be true deal as well

Definitely a red flag. Check this vid out. th-cam.com/video/SPTC-gJT1eM/w-d-xo.htmlm40s
Wow! I didn't know you played magic ! :O
Squeezys in the house!
If we were to start, what expansion should we get now?
It depends what format you wanna play if you just want to start i suggest to buy newest boosters.
As Ed said, depends on the format you want to play. There are many ways to play Magic. I like to play Standard and Block. Block is when you just play cards from a block and the sets within.

KineticGTR is there anything else in the same block as the 2 ixalan? Thanks
what's the first song?
Imagine if you will, a resealed pack that was 15 mythic rare holo cards and a complimentary 20 dollars.
Imagine that lol
I have always wondered, why are you in Japan?
I like living in other countries instead of one place all my life. Ever since I was a kid, I loved traveling :)
KineticGTR ah I see, and you make that possible by streaming? The dream! Ever been to the netherlands?
Together with my wife Kanako, we make enough money to be happy. Haven't been to the Netherlands yet, it's on my bucketlist though :D
i want to buy magic cards now xD
Are you gonna show other card games than MTG?
Yes! Stay tuned!
Nice
No need to worry about re sealing with these crappy sets. Amd yes almost all recent boosters have the top slits
Never buy loose packs from RTR Block or Innistrad Block. Easily searched. No need to reseal.
Show more than just Magic if you're going ot do TCGs please!
Lil slits are anti temper
Tamper sorry
Hey genius, packs have the factory made slit top center of the pack so it can be opened easier for the customer without damaging the cards. Again the slit is factory made duh
I challenge anyone here to buy 2 packs off me (1 re-sealed and 1 orig) and tell me which is re-sealed. You wouldn't be able to tell.
Those little slits..... are manufactured that way to open the packs easier....
