I love this list but I’d love to see the Prof make a command deck off of Runo Stromkirk for Shuffle up and Play because I believe that would be amazing.

This guy isn’t wrong! Listening now it slaps!

True 😂 its so fun

Does it make that “Dance Dance Dance” song tolerable?

Can confirm 🤣

Huh Normally I watch at 2x, but this made me double check. 😂

Amen More Capys and Otters please

Same

This set has the same problem as New Capenna for me: Stunning art in a setting I am deeply interested in, on a collection of cards I probably won't play. Thankfully the Merfolk precon alleviates that for me somewhat. I feel like they're the most flavorfully and mechanically rich of the four decks, and the showcase versions of the legendary merfolk have me blown away. I will probably have to shell out a pretty penny for that showcase Kumena from the secret lair once it's in sellers' hands.

Cappy Tribal

@@louistown7835 a good idea

Me too lol

Sometimes. I am looking for a store that sells foils.

I took a step away from magic for about two years now and just recently decided to look at all the cards for the sets I have missed out on. I bought about $60 worth of singles to update some cubes and decks I have. Doing this was way cheaper then buy at least one box of each set. Although I do miss draft sometimes...

I watch these to remind my self to not buy magic cards :D

buying singles is fucking lame

Also, some cards have jumped up a lot. That roaming throne is a lot more, for example

Agreed, usually comback sets are kinda worse but they did a good job with this one. Limited is super fun. Complex, but fun.

@@Hfsm33 This has been a great limited set so far! I kinda wish it had been a bit more focused on the constructed side (there are a lot of mechanics, but most combine well in draft with at least one other), but I haven't really added anything out of this set to a standard deck other than Growing Rights.

I have been trying to build a fungal tribal for a while. Now, it may be playable.

​@@Hfsm33very true, normally the comeback sets are boring to me but the new cards are a pleasant surprise. A lot of playable stuff this time around

​@@f.g.5967Elder Fungus looks pretty cool

Not just lands, also Tokens...

The most deflating part of the whole thing would have been "The Jurassic Park" slot. Is this Magic or a feckin happy meal?

​@@xzysyndromelast time I checked the dino cards were in fact magic cards.

I was very upset with the box I opened. Got two JP lands and 2 JP tokens. No other JP cards in my box

I'm starting to believe this is intentional to make the transition to Play Boosters look better by comparison, though my tinfoil hat may be a bit too tight.

Last sealed event one guy pulled 2 ojer, one of them was showcase also he got a promo ghalta unbelievable

I got 2 in 15 set boosters, one showcase

EDH runs the show now. Standard is mostly dead. There was a time when you could wait for your favorite cards to rotate out of standard so you could nab them up....investors put a hard stop to that.

Ah yes, resplended angle. All star card and staple in trigonometry tribal decks.

True, seeing how CHEAP Resplendent Angel is now is making me "want" to complete a set of it now... I only need just one to complete a set... But yes for LCI since this is my FAVORITE Tribal-themed plane, more so than that of Lorwyn/Shadowmoor and the whole of Onslaught-block

the fact WOTC even prints chaff is enough to turn me off. They literally print the game and know what is good...and what is garbage....and yet they still flood boxes with garbage.

@@xzysyndrome Yeah. But they have to if they want people to buy packs. If everything was good, people wouldn’t need to buy as many packs, and they wouldn’t make as much money. I don’t like buying packs because I like to control what I get for my money, but it’s a lucrative business for WotC. A lot of people like gambling.

Yup! That's the whole reason I buy packs. Just for the fun of opening them.

Vegas always wins. When you are 30 packs in with nothing...and you hit...WOW WOW WOWZERS....never mind how much you actually spent spinning the wheel to get that hit.

@@xzysyndrome I mean my bundle was $40, dockside would sell for $55-60 so I'm up? But I get your meaning when it comes to opening a full box

do you think i should buy a bundle or box?

@@Tiredviet None. Save your money and buy bonds.

Different printers in EU

There is no new wonders to behold. You can literally see all the cards available before set release. Given the limited number of chase cards vs. the garbage...People who buy boosters to just open on a wing and a prayer are the same people who buy lottery tickets. They never keep a running total of how much money they lost...only what they have won....which is often far less than what they have lost.

Clearly you don't understand, and I feel sorry for you.

@@iamthebiggs252 I used to crack cases. I understand completely...I bought four cases of Kaladesh (most cases ever for me on a new set). Everytime I peeled open a Masterpiece...I forgot all about how much money I was losing...now, if I had just put those 4 cases in the closet and sold them today unopened...Winning. Don't feel sorry for me...my collection roles back to Beta...I'm doing fine. Screw opening new product though...that is what Proxies are for.

@@xzysyndrome I don't think you're wrong about proxies, esp in the casual space.

I'm pretty sure hardly anyone who buys booster boxes just to open them thinks they're going to break even or pull that one card that makes them a profit. You buy them for the fun of it, just how you go see a movie in the theater, spend a night out with friends eating fancy food or having a few drinks in a bar, it's all just 'wasted money' for quick dopamine hits, that's all there really is to life. Which of course doesn't mean you should spend all of your money solely on these things and then struggling to make ends meet. As long as you have disposable income to throw at stuff, who gives a flying fuck man, everyone knows they're not getting good value out of opening packs. And for people like me there's also another component to it: I simply don't like buying singles because I don't feel like these cards belong to me. That connection, for me personally, comes from being the first person to rip these cards out of the pack, as stupid as it may sound. Because that also means that I know these cards are coming out in mint/new-mint condition whereas with stuff you buy from someone else online, you can never be sure.

You got a land? I only got a "treasure" token

Cardboard crack

I got "don't move" and a token lol.

Let’s gooooooo

@@TolarianCommunityCollege oof. Definitely whammies in those boxes.

lol

does your back hurt from carrying WotC's water? jesus stand up for yourself and demand more from these robber barons.

​@bonaface I always thought this was a weird take. Are people not playing the game for fun? Why am I a shill for buying and playing the game I enjoy?

@@Fallenight987 you're not a shill for enjoying it. You are a shill if you pretend the experience can't be improved. Guaranteed I bought more sealed than you...and yet it doesn't mean we can't expect more. If you concede that they're just selling a gambling product that's just more troubling... By WotC's own admission no one is buying sealed! they're having to consolidate two products to save sales.

​@@bonafacethe idea that one should "break even" when buying a box is counter to basic economics.

honey who said break even? I said value. In fact even wotc acknowledges there's no value because they're having to consolidate products to save the whole venture of mtg@@charahnalaar

Yeah, my husband and I bought a draft box because we like to play sealed together and we both love Ixalan. I think if I want to get shiny cards, though, a Collector box is the way rather than set boosters especially since our local shop is marking them down for Black Friday. You can’t draft set boosters and you don’t get as many Jurassic Park cards as collector boosters.

⁠the draft boosters are imo always best cause yall had fun playing together! Any cards are just bonus after that

He says after sellers fee and shipping costs its not worth it to sell anything under $2 he said it in the beggining of the video. I'm sure if you took all values you are infact over $120

@@SirRyan420 It used to be $1.00 Pepperidge farms remembers...

@@xzysyndrome oh I member **memberberry sounds intensify**

@@SirRyan420 couldn’t you sell them at your LGS

@@zealouslyonpsychedelics my LGS only buys bulk sub $1 cards by weight rather than individual value. It's a pain in the ass to sell a bunch of bulk cards and not worth the time

Those are Japanese American Set boosters are last cards.

Buy long enough...you get a kiss. As they say in Vegas...Get while the getting is good. I opened a case of Kaladesh and got a Mana Vault, a Sword of Fire and Ice, and a Black Vice in Masterpiece. At the time...I was super stoked. Sure wish I had that case unopened....it would be worth far more than those cards combined.

No there are different printing companies. The rares being in front show it is a Japanese box. The rares in back are American or Belgium. Also card stock quality is different between the 3.

Lol! Same here

And Tons of crap. Congrats

You got lucky...don't forget the whiffs. It always cracks me up when someone hits playing lotto and they suddenly swear by it. Like a 90 year old retiree who finally hits on a slot machine...after years of dumping their life savings into it. HOORAY!!!

@@xzysyndrome not everyone will strike gold but even opening up a bundle I got the green god and cavern of souls. In my play group 2 others got cavern of souls whilst 5 others got 1-2 god cards each, 2 others got a mana crypt each whilst a friend of theirs also got a mana crypt. Heard nothing of the sort with WOE. Only one of or group got lucky. Obviously yes it is a lottery ultimately but it feels like Ixalan had got better value for what you spend across all of the products. Whilst WOE often fell short of value.

Run. Run as fast as you can...Away.

2 dockside extortionist would have ran you about $140. I have a playset of dockside extortionists...they look and feel just like the real deal...they cost me $4.00 They play just like yours. I guess if you want the prestige...go for it. I just want to play the game I have loved since the early 90's...and not spend hundreds on fucking cardboard.
