What a journey it's been to get here! Opening the first Ever Elestrals Founders Edition Booster Box! ENJOY the pulls and my anxiety LOL What card are you hoping to pull in your first booster box?
Really love what you've done with the game. If you wouldn't mind, I'm working on a game myself and I would like to know where did you get yours printed? I have tried a couple different printers but the quality morso felt like prototype
I will say, one thing that I've always found a bit tedious with only opening packs is that you end up running low on the mana/energy cards for decks. Like for Pokemon for example, unless you egt like an ETB or something that has a ton of energy in it, 1 energy of any of the 7+ different types makes it so that you end up running low on energy for a new potential deck that you want to make, if you're only opening packs. So, I think in the future, it could be good to either: A. make it so packs have maybe a 1 in 2 chance (or something reasonable) to contain a second spirit that replaces a common, or B. Maybe introduce a spirit bundle that includes, idk, maybe 10 of each spirit (so 50 total i believe) for a little bit more than a booster pack. If a booster sells for aroudn $3.99 (just giving a price for the sake of example, not saying this is the actual price), then maybe for $7.99 you can get the bundle of 10 spirits. It'll be reasonably affordable, but also a good way to allow competitive players to restock their spirit supply, without needing to open potentially hundreds of packs to get enough of 1 or 2 types of spirits to build the deck they wanna build.
Isn't that the point of the "starter decks" or whatever they may be termed between games? This would have been an issue in MTG or Pokemon too if people refused to buy decks in the beginning just spending all their money toward hopefully landing something rare vs actually wanting to play the game itself. Once this gets a couple series in there will be plenty of spirit cards in a 10 cent box at your local card shop to make a deck if you lean toward the collector side vs the actual player side of the game.
@@diomedes8625 True, but ultimately there'd still be a shortage of energy cards (or whatever that mechanic is callled in any of the various tcg) for you. Especially if you're in the competitive scene and you have a slew of different decks for use, you shouldn't have to spend a decent amount of money on a starter deck that you already bought 5 times before JUST for the energy. True, when you're first starting out, then yeah the starter decks are good, but once you start making dozens of different decks with different playstyles, that's when you start to really run low. I just think a way to guarantee you get nothing but energy/spirits/mana/whatever is better than having 500 copies of the same cards bc you keep buying the same starter deck over and over. Like, if a starter deck costs a GENEROUS $10, and 20 out of 60 cards is energy (taking pokemon into example), then you're spending $10 to get roughly $3.34 of actual use out of the box, then all the others you MIGHT be able to seel for a dollar or two of your money back. It's just not worth it to do that. If I misunderstood, then let me know, but from the way I see it, it would benefit everyone just to introduce a spirit pack as mentioned previously. More money for Dan, and more spirits to allow us to use in making many, many different decks for competitive use.
This is super exciting and stressful to watch haha. I can not wait to get mine and see what all I pull. Super awesome to watch and support you along this journey!
Hey Elestrals. If you go into full production and a store outside of the USA is interested into selling/promoting your product. How can they make it happen? I have a local gamestore where i want to introduce my Kickstarter set and just in case it pops off, they have a way of contacting you guys. Keep up the good work and the cards look solid.
Dan I'm so happy for you like your very own game!!!! Alot of people dream of making their own game but you actually did it! So excited can't for the release!!
If you are making a standard card deck out of nothing but packs, what would you recommend for the optimal number of packs in order to have a good selection of cards to choose from? I need to go refresh my memory on what the standard number of cards is in an elestral deck and how many cards you get per pack. I'm really hoping I get a chance to buy a booster box of the kickstarter set but have a feeling there won't be any extras. I'll have to wait to 1st set comes out before buying any packs. It is odd that all of the hollows were the bottom half of the box. I hope the mixture in the box would be better or everyone will be digging for the bottom half only. So how much of a complete set did you get from this box? You did say you were disappointed with the lack of variety in the packs. For a completion person like myself, having a wider variety of cards per pack would make it easier to have at least one of each card. For someone who is competitive, having the same card show up in 60% of the packs may be a good thing IF it is a card which is needed in the deck. The opposite would be true meaning that the competitor would be highly irritated by getting the same card they don't\can't use in the current deck. Once Elestrals is out for a year or more, then hopefully the overall market for the game will be decent enough where people will be able to buy\sell individual cards. I do wonder how the market will price the individual cards.
@@Elestrals only the best otherwise the partnering companies (card printers, etc.) will have a... Necruff time on their hands! 💀 (PlzdontsendmetoTartarusagain... T~T)
Is there a chance the boxes can be mapped?, It looks like it by the fact that all the holos where in the back. But maybe it's just one box and not all of them are like that
I am looking up some information, but i can't find much. I would like to hold some boxes. When did the company start, where can i buy the booster boxes, which is the 1st booster box, are there 1st edition boxes? Thanks for reading! Much of love from The Netherlands!
Elestrals was announced July 31 2022. It began dev on January 1 2022 as an idea by aDrive. Kickstarter was in December and we are fulfilling our Kickstarter now. We hope to have product for sale by September! 1st edition will be around October
These cards honestly look awesome! Wish I had helped with the Kickstarter to get something like this but ooh well... Also how many cards would you need for A Deck?
super incredibly excited to be a part of this- i cant wait for my case of booster boxes! i wonder if anyone else is gonna seal some away for the future? 🤔
I absolutely am, I got a case and 2 extras so I have a case to open and 2 to keep sealed, I basically got enough product that I’ll have 2 of everything to keep sealed over 3 different orders to get a play set of the promos lol
I need to get at least 4 vysceris out of my 5 boxes I’m opening 😬 I need 1 for my master set and a play set for my deck (because I don’t want to use my promos, those are going on my shelf Lmao)
What a journey it's been to get here! Opening the first Ever Elestrals Founders Edition Booster Box!
ENJOY the pulls and my anxiety LOL
What card are you hoping to pull in your first booster box?
I ordered a theme deck, but I do want to try and get one of the stellar rares in that box

A quick note, you should manually edit the English captions because youtube is making Elestral into Molestal.

Half of me wants to save a copy of each pack other half wants to pull for everything lol. Packaging looks so dope.
Cards are looking great. Love the sea monster with a volcano back!
Krakatuga!
HYPE TRAIN IS SPEEDING UP! CHOO CHOO =p
Let’s go!
Dan I'm so happy for you like your very own game!!!! Alot of people dream of making their own game but you actually did it!
So excited can't for the release!!
Thanks so much!
I’m a BELIEVER!!! Sad I couldn’t get a BB from KS but super excited to get my promos and Deck. Definitely can’t wait for Base set to drop!!!
Are there ratio's for holo's for the box's?
Approx 1/3 packs are holo
The holos look so good on camera, I can't wait to see which ones I get from my boxes!

So 3 king, 3 apheros.... looks like someone's playing king combo!!!
How can you tell the rarity of the cards? So excited to open up packs when they come!
The bottom bar of the card shows different energy displays which indicate rarity! It’s in our how to play guide
I got into the app beta last night and its helped a lot with learning the game and its really cool so far.
Glad to hear it!
Ayyyy the printing on the inside of the boxes continue! Just like the Proto-decks
Yes! High quality!
@@Elestrals only the best otherwise the partnering companies (card printers, etc.) will have a... Necruff time on their hands! 💀
(PlzdontsendmetoTartarusagain... T~T)
I admire the reseal proofing!
Hope you’ve been well dude!
is there a way to still order cards or when can we see them available again?
This summer
Lets goooo! These cards are Insane, all aboard this Elestrals Hype Train 🚂 🚆
It's cool that you actually pulled a playset of holos. Not only that, but 2 playsets
Is there a chance the boxes can be mapped?, It looks like it by the fact that all the holos where in the back. But maybe it's just one box and not all of them are like that
I did specify for the factory to not map the boxes, we won’t know until hundreds of people open them but I don’t think they will be
A little disappointed that I can't open them yet 😢 but looking forward to it
Perhaps I’ve missed it but after that beginning I am curious are there guaranteed holo ratios per box or is it completely random?
Holo pulls are approx 1 in 3 packs.
@@Elestrals truly some rough luck at the beginning then XD. Can’t wait to get my box and pull one of those stellar Penterrors (copium)
Do we know the (average) rates for pulls?
Approximately 1/3 packs have a holographic.
No holo Trifernal. Burn the entire box. Jk jk love the look of the cards!! Can’t wait to get my booster boxes!!
I believe can’t wait for my box
What are the different rarities of cards called in elestral?
I am looking up some information, but i can't find much. I would like to hold some boxes. When did the company start, where can i buy the booster boxes, which is the 1st booster box, are there 1st edition boxes? Thanks for reading! Much of love from The Netherlands!

Don’t take this the wrong way it reminds of chaotic in a way but way better
Seriously can't wait to get mine!! So excited for this.
Almost seemed like all the holos were at the bottom of the box, unintentional weight sorting maybe
We’ve seen more boxes opened and it doesn’t seem to be a problem. I’ve also opened another box that was better distributed. Just random luck
Fire Man Can’t W8 For Mine, ADrive I’m A Backer From The Kickstarter Wanted To Know Can I Still Pick Up Any Packs Right Now?
Will have to wait until Kickstarter is fulfilled!
Where can I download the soundtrack?
Cant wait to get one myself and have the joy of opening one.
I'm hyped for it
Is there a way to get access to the beta app without having twitter???
Of course we are believers! I love the cards man! Literally amazing!
These cards honestly look awesome! Wish I had helped with the Kickstarter to get something like this but ooh well...
Also how many cards would you need for A Deck?
super incredibly excited to be a part of this- i cant wait for my case of booster boxes! i wonder if anyone else is gonna seal some away for the future? 🤔

I pulled the steller penterror and sold it for a Pokémon card, not realising how rare it was 😭😭😭
The struggle is real
Krakking is my fav artwork!!!!!
I BELIEVE! LET'S GO!!!
2 playsets in 1 box is pretty nutty!
Making my water deck 🌊
Elestrals Will the tcg come to target or cards shops? Bc I really want to open this set.
Hopefully one day!
dang i bet he who shall not be named is mad that he didn't get in on the Kickstarter now!
Definitely can’t wait to get my cards. This was exciting to watch!
So inspiring to someone like me who wants to create my own TCG one day.. To see where you're coming from and the splash you're now creating.. #Legend
Im really a fan of you and your work man congrats
I’m so excited for my box!
This is super cool to see after how long this has been in development! 🎉
I need to get at least 4 vysceris out of my 5 boxes I’m opening 😬 I need 1 for my master set and a play set for my deck (because I don’t want to use my promos, those are going on my shelf Lmao)
I like your chances
These are so cool. Is there any way for me to get my hands on some right now? Also, will they ever be in retail stores?
Once Kickstarter is fulfilled we will have cards! Retail will come one day!
Would we see any more Elestrals gameplay?
Tomorrow! Penterror 🐲
@@Elestrals Awesomeness!
Soooo stoked!!!
So awesome to watch!
I might’ve gotten a stellar penterror 😉
holo pattern looks fire
This is so cool and so exciting 🥺🥺
It's almost time, get hype
Awesome
IDOLO HYPE!!
Massive lie in the beginning. Dragon ball booster boxes gives you a sealed rare or promo….
