Who Is The ONE Best Commander From Magic: The Gathering's New Set? Find out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMt-kpeoz8mdZH0.html

At the beginning of the first box, we were feeling that Collector Ouphe. At the end of the first box, we were feeling that Collector Oof

“I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!” “If you get that reference, you’re probably 40” You’re about 15 years over the mark, but damn I do feel 40

Last time I was this early Elesh Nora was still the daughter of machines.

This set has really showed that financial value isn't everything. Despite the low prices for singles, there are so many amazing cards in this set. Even the lower value Ixhel commander precon is sold out at every LGS I've visited while they still have plenty of Boros decks.

Insane that showcase foil atraxa tripled in price from when this video was edited to when it was published

The community: "oh i love how busted this set is! The prices will be crazy!" Also the Community: "The red Dominus and completed Luka? $3"

I loved your joke at the beginning with the reference "I've fallen and I can't get up!" I am literally turning 40 in about one week so that's spot on.

So.... Elesh Norn or bust? Sounds about right. I cracked a Collector Box for fun and opened into about $100 of value because I missed Norn, Atraxa, and the Concept Praetors. Same thing happened on the Collector Box of Dominaria Remastered, which has pretty thoroughly soured me to buying boxes for a while.

Future Cha Cha is a banger Booster Box Game track, holy crap

So draft boosters are for drafting…set packs are for…er getting ripped off. And collector’s boosters are for…..getting majorly ripped off. Got it!

I feel like the reason a lot of the prices aren't high is *because* of how much this set's been bought, with the rarer cards being super rare, and the common cards being super common, causing that price variance of even mythics going for like 0.43

0:59 Excuuuuuuse me, Professor. I happen to only be 32 and I got that reference. Thank you very much!

This is my favorite series keep em coming, the music the vibe the concept perfect

Man I havnt played magic in a decade but I just can't resist watching these box opening videos.

I think this game should try once excluding list cards. Those make almost all set booster boxes ‘worth it’ potentially. I can’t keep up with the list as it rotates, but it usually has a number of cards in the $30+ range. Taking them out I feel would show the actual set’s value over possibly a lucky list pull that has little bearing on that set.

I drafted a box of this with my play group and it was one of the most fun draft experiences of recent memory (for standard) since war of the spark. We are likely going to do another draft of this before too long since it was so fun!

Hey prof, the music in these absolutely slap. Half the reason I watch these are for the background music alone. Keep it up my good man.

The music at pack 14 of box 2 is fantastic. Also, the third music choice, with the oceans elevenesque type feel.

I picked up a Draft booster box of ONE to host a draft night with my friends! I'm so excited!

I did enjoy watching you play! Thanks! I also enjoyed buying singles from the set!!!

So glad you decided to open another box, even if the 1st one didn't make the cut. I love cracking packs myself.

Alright, time to see Prof pull more value than I did with my collectors box. I can't complain though, I got a foil mommy.

I for my part love starting into a new set with a booster box ^^ i just enjoy it and i makes fun! And makes me happy and gives me the "woa! Something cool in my pack!" Feeling.. i enjoy this :) and after this i buy my singles of my local game store! But every time i can open some boosters it feels like beeing the little kid from a few 20~ years ago when value or power of cards or meta stuff wasnt important and you enjoyed just to get cool cards and trade with your friends to gather the cards you like the most!... its nostalgic and i love it and in these minutes of joy i dont watch for prices or something.. i even dont really look the set up in advance and just go for looks of the booster! So nice.. just a nice reminder of a simpler time... 😊 booster are great ♡

I'm usually kind of meh on the alternate art for cards but I really love the high contrast versions they put in this set. They really pop.

It's really crazy to see the pricing here and then almost overnight, the foil showcase Atraxa now goes for like $60+

That first dud of a box reminds me of the brothers war box I bought (was so bad) haha (I buy a box for each set before ordering singles)

Thank you for doing the booster box game. It fills my need to crack packs. Now I can spend my money on singles.

I kinda feel like those alternate art Phyrexia lands will have some resale value in the future. They just look cool.

Yes I was soooo looking forward to this thanks Prof!

Love your content. Thank you! Always enjoy the videos u put out

Nothing was funnier than when that old lady fell down in the mall, on rescue 911.

kinda unrelated but, i just had the jitterbug jingle ringing in my head, thanks prof haha

Awesome video prof, these are my favorite videos that you do

Hey prof, Im sure you are aware but that Atraxa, Grand Unifier (38:58) has had a massive adjustment!

I haven't bought any set since the fifth dawn. I stumbled on one of these videos and decided to try it so I bought a neon dynasty draft box in high hopes of pulling a hidetsogu neon or foil emporor. Supposed to be here tomorrow in excited

Another great video prof , just wondering if you could add a card count to the total , would be quite interesting to know how many cards were over $2 and how many it took to reach the total

This is exactly why I buy 7000+ cards in bulk for the same or less than the price of a new set release booster box. I can build cubes, pauper decks, pauper commander decks. And if I really want something expensive, buy the single. And because it’s so cheap I can easily give stuff away for free and it doesn’t feel vad if there are cards I’m unable to donate and they go to recycling. The only way I engage with new product nowadays is if I go to a prerelease event or if I want the storage box and dice that comes with a bundle, I’ll buy one ☝️

I know this was probably filmed ages ago but it shocks me that just a few weeks after the release the set market price on that Atraxa showcase is now 45$. A huge difference from the 14$ when you opened it.

With the updated prices, that third box was nuts.

The concept praetors being in any booster is amazing. I bought a set box for first time in while. I am not a fan of step and compleat, so set was perfect for me and I was very satisfied with what I cracked.

I kind of want to see the professor play one of these boosterbox games with the MTG summit playmat he is on in the back ground. It was really cool meeting him and a lot of the other MTG creators in person.

Got my box last week, I had so much value! Basically redoubled what I spent, in fact got pretty much 5-10 mythics it was crazy

I’m so happy my box wasn’t like that first one. I was essentially able to get the box value out of 3 cards I pulled, Blightsteel Colossus, Vorinclex, and Atraxa.

I got the reference, and I'm only 27 prof....

I love watching this at 2x speed, they're so satisfying!!

Professor, any chance of releasing the Academic Deck Box again? Got back into Magic after the Kickstarter ended, and would gladly pay full price for one.

You are so brave! Thank you for all you do!

Bro I relate to the "I've fallen and I can't get up" thing... Like never before.

Love those lands

Elesh Norn or bust! And thanks for that reference I got near the beginning. I feel so old😬

Really hope Prof kept those two Atraxa from that third box because if this had been filmed today those two alone would get him a good chunk of the way to a box.

New to these and they are fun! Ever go to game nights in Portland?

I definitely made a life alert reference at work today.

man, i turned 21 today and when you said “if you get that reference you are probably 40” it really sunk in LMAO

THIS IS THE CONTENT i love

Some of the music sounds excellent at double speed, especially the one at around 5 minutes! I wonder, was that done on purpose?

List cards are nuts in this set. Pulled a Goldspan Dragon and an Old Gnawbones out of my set box.

the music was absolutely bussin this video

I love how you get to sell at comps good for you.

Funny how that Atraxa showcase foil has gone up in price! Definitely worth more now!

All Will Be One has so many great cards for a non-premium set. I bought a couple boxes too.

Ooof good lord. I got really lucky with my box... Foil mythic - Elesh norn and some other really kick ass cards, totalled 5-6 mythics. YMMV with this one.

Got a few collector boxes. Prob gonna hodl for a bit. This set feels so important.

I got that reference and I'm 36. Well played, Sir.

Apparently Atraxa is worth $60! Glad your luck turned around. Thanks for playing!

No wonder my box didn't have any Machine Mamas, you opened them all 😅

Finally!!!! I love these!

lmfao i was watching this while playing yugio master duel and just as I nibiru'd my opponents 5 monsters; this video made the cash 'chinging' sound hahaha I want that sound to play every time I use Nibiru!

I got lucky on my desire to buy a couple boxes. I got my leading lady for my Commander deck and now that I have my pack openings out of my system I am going to buy the remaining singles I need for my deck. Its going to be a nutty deck with her as my Commander. I pulled her alternate art on my last 6 boosters. I thought I bought some duds but I think I got some pretty good value out of the boxes I bought. I figured since this was the first time since Avacyn Restored that I opened some MTG boosters I would go a little deep. I bought 3 boxes and had my fun. Plus I got a bunch of shiny lands for my decks haha. I think I only have like 4 of 5 major cards that are above the $20 price range. So all in all was fun opening boosters. Now I need to deep dive and see what synergizes with her and what will make me public enemy 1 in a game of commander haha. Thanks Professor, it was through your videos that I found myself really wanting to get back into MTG. I can't wait to throw down in some Commander once I have the deck built.

I love the booster box game and the background music it’s amazing and my proffesor is awesome

Played locals Thursday the 23rd... new to magic and went 0-3, got 1 pack for playing, opened Elesh Norn and didn't realize it was worth so much. Watched this video randomly and now I realize i hit something NICE!

That playmat of you and Post Malone is the greatest thing i've seen all week. Such an amazing picture let alone forever immortalized on a playmat.

I feel so old seeing a foil planeswalker going into the bulk bin. They always used to hold value.

Yes thank you!

The music reminds me of old-school Final Fantasy games.

Called out by the "I've fallen and I can't get up!" Not quite 40 yet, but close.

I am a little sad so many people have been opening up DRAFT boxes of this at my local game store which has meant we did not have anything for the Tuesday night draft. Luckily the store still had a box of NEO and that was a great draft!

I'm really curious to see the March of the Machine booster box game, with the upcoming changes to mythic rarity and such. It'll likely hammer home the Prof's message of "buy singles."

I’m 33 and I get the reference from the intro, but only because they referenced it in Ninja Turtles 3 Turtles in Time and I loved Ninja Turtles as a kid. When Donatello said “Help, I’m a turtle and I can’t get up!” My mom laughed. I didn’t get the reference, so she had to explain it to me. That’s how I was initiated. I was probably 4 or 5 at the time. :D

Dang, my bundle had an old gnawbones, sword of war and peace, sword of forge and frontier, tyvar showcase foil, mental mistep foil, and a seachrome coast.

I fully expected this video to go on forever with the value of this set

ok ill admit I was looking and waiting until you post specifically this on Phyrexia xD

I almost thought they got the professor with a hot pocket ad but it was a Factor ad.

You have done countless of these videos and yet still open boosters like a barbarian!

Prof, you didn't need to call out the life alert rememberes like that 😅

Professor: "If you get that reference, you're probably 40" Me: "I feel personally attacked"

A dude at my store said the packs are themed, it sure feels that way sometimes

29:51 i thought the card was fcked up fresh out of the booster already. glad it was just an optical illusion

Man, they really sent you a box of bulk rares on that first box.

"We'll be right there, Mrs. Fletcher!" 🤣

I watched enough "The price is right" with my grandma to get that LifeAlert (not a sponsor) reference!

I got really lucky with my box, but to be honest I didn't even expected any value, I just love the set. I expected to be very indifferent about it, but there are so many cool cards in all rarity

I'm only 22 but I got the reference, lol. It's from "A Christmas Story" said by Raphly's brother.

It's amusing watching this a week later when Atraxa has gone up like 1000%

"Oh yea Peta Draft is the best way to open packs!" -Louis, Family Guy

"If you get that reference, you're probably 40." I feel personally attacked, Prof - and I don't mean like in a game of commander.

I got the reference at 33!

Great video
