As a lgs, I think it's amazing how much you talk about supporting businesses like us. I always aim to be below market value and beating the big box stores! Since we are located in Oregon, we don't have sales tax either!

One detail I think you forgot is that buying a sealed collector guarantee you get one "limited chase card". For exemple, a bloomburrow collector box garantee you get one raised foil OR special guest foil. And you have sets like lost caverns that come with a treasure trove box topper, which is worth considering.

@Icegaze039 I appareciate you adding this information. As you can see this is an older video that I made when Kamigawa Neon Dynasty was a new set, so the packs at this time did not have that exclusivity
@Icegaze0393 күн бұрын
I'm new to magic so any information is good. It looks like the card distribution and value between sets varies quite a lot. It's worth looking into it before choosing to buy a set or collector boosters. Besides that point, your video presented the exact information I was looking for, thanks😉

Hey i know this is an old vid and i haven't actually finished yet but what do you think of the core set starter tool kits? Im thinking about getting the 2019 version and my friend just got the 2020 version. Do they have a lot of similar cards or are we going to have different style decks?
@AshenWingzTCG20 күн бұрын
@shareableninja6518 Your decks may have the same themes but some cards will be different. I'm usually looking at the Arena starter deck kits that come with 2 decks and good product to play into one another, but the Core lits could work just as well

This is so weird because I used to buy individual packs to make decks….way way way back then. I used to trade out the cards I didn’t want with friends, then make my deck(s). Buying pre-configured decks wasn’t a thing until like 2011.
@AshenWingzTCG7 ай бұрын
I feel like buying precons isn't a terrible thing. It allows for the consumer to not have to get a list together and hope it works out, someone did all the work for them. But I'm sure deckbuilding was way more fun using just packs!
@Zestypanda7 ай бұрын
@@AshenWingzTCG Oh I have no issue with precons. It’s funny though when on Friday Night Magic ya see a table and five of the seven players playing use the same exact decks. Like they don’t even configure their decks. They’re scared that if they change or modify the cards it will “break” the deck. They really are less into deck building and knowing the mechanics of the game as much as knowing the mechanics of THEIR CARDS.
@Zestypanda7 ай бұрын
@@AshenWingzTCG It seems so foreign that the level of experimentation has been removed. It went from “cool. Random cards. I hope I can make some semi-working deck out of this.” To “oh boy what cards can I resell from this draft pack. Time to buy a preconfig cuz WOTC told me this combo was good.”
@Zestypanda7 ай бұрын
@@AshenWingzTCGlet me dial this back a bit. I am not against preconfigured decks. I’m just confused that no one seems to spin their own anymore. I think preconfigured decks are great for teaching someone how to play. I still have my 2011 welcome decks.
@AshenWingzTCG7 ай бұрын
@Zestypanda Yeah its mainly for people who are just looking for even playing field games from what I know. Or maybe they have wanted a themed deck like that and never knew how to build one until the precons drop. I personally always tell people if they don't have an idea for a deck, get a precon and build off of that. Some people just get them for the "in the moment" experience and almost never touch them after the fact as well, which is sad

i’m new to mtg, im wanting to start playing with cards, but don’t know how to build a deck. do i need to buy a commander pack? or can i just buy “booster packs” and build a deck like that and then get “theme booster packs” to better the deck in building? or how does it work ?
@AshenWingzTCG Жыл бұрын
Building a deck comes in many forms. First, I'd find out what format I'm playing. Are you interested in commander?

@@AshenWingzTCG yes but at the moment i’m just building a “normal” deck not a commander atm. i just want to learn the basics first. i recently bought two kimigawa packs and a kimigawa theme booster pack but idk if i can build a deck with that.

@@alexsanchez61 I would first look through all of the cards that you get from those packs and see what interests you. You will definitely need more cards from other sets as well to make at least a standard format deck.
