I don’t think this is a good product for Japanese players, let alone anyone at that matter. Each booster pack will cost 500-600¥ (5-6 bucks) for 5 non-foil cards. If 33% of the packs include Majestics/Legendarys. It’ll take around 8 boxes for 1 CNC. Feels like LSS trying to make money more than help the market.

I just want more reprints for the generic cards. Right now CnC is not accessible in Brazil. There is only one CnC and one E-strike beign sold in the main website that work as a marketplace. I would have to buy it from other countries anyway, and it's not like it's a cheap card at all. On TCG player it's says "out of stock", on cardtrader there are like just 6 stores selling the unlimited version. Should a card like this be THAT scarce? I don't know it those japanese reprints will affect the market that much, but I sure hope it does. And hopefully the Dash armory deck gets an interesting decklist, it's a hero that I'm thinking about (in part for the lack of need for those generic cards)

I'm expecting that once Japan is done being taken care of, Brazil and most of LATAM will get their own prints. LSS just made a big mistake making HP1 for 4 languages at a time when they should have only spent time on one language/region at a time. I wish I had an answer for you sooner, but it might just be a bit unless you can find a good seller here in the states with decent shipping prices

I know it's kinda tin foil hat and lower sample sizes, but when you have your LGS crack a good number of crates and end up with x3 CnC out of 30+ booster boxes, it kinda begs the question why you always end up with multiple play sets of spark of genius, sand sketched plan etc.

In Canada, our dollar is super weak, so boxes around me cost 134 after tax. Thats considered a slightly good deal for retail prices which can easily be 160 at other game stores an hour or so away from our game store. Spread out scarcity in canada also puts a premium on box sales.

@@AshenWingzTCG its hard to say because It depends on the store, ultimately. The economy is bad here so that definitely affects everything on some level. I know the game store owners well and i know what they pay for boxes. At 134 per box, they generally make a profit of roughly 50, they like single pack sales more because that provides more profit return. Distributors sell box around 70-80 depending on the box set.

While I'll never complain about a CnC reprint, according to TCGPlayer only 2 Japanese MoMs made it over to the USA and sold. Probably more sold on other specialty groups like purple discord or facebook but I'd be amazed if it was more than ~20 copies. I don't think many cards from these archive packs will make it over the seas to other regions without special ordering them. Happy for them though :) it's rough enough for the rest of us I imagine it's tougher for them. MoM might also be a bad comparison as both ninjas that use it aren't meta and one is close to LL'ing.

Mmm, “used to small packs”? Not at this price, I’m afraid. While there are plenty of packs with 5 or 6 cards, they are priced at half, or lower than a regular pack. These are priced the same as any other FaB booster. Not only that, shops here tend to go over msrp. Paying full price for a 5 card pack, with 4 certain commons and opening, let’s say a yellow sink (?) won’t be great. A case costs double the price. And obviously, no foils. Knowing the Japanese market and their taste for bling, there’s actually a chance this might flop and end up heading overseas for (relatively) cheap. I think it’ll come down to the M and L pull rate per box, and it’s quality, of course. 1 L or CnC per case (8 boxes!) is probably not gonna make it…

In a deck that focuses on aim counters, it's almost criminal to not mention Judge, Jury, Executioner, especially with how it interacts with Seek and Destroy. JJE has the Legendary keyword, so you can run only one, and costs about $4. You'll also want 3x Dead Eye, a $5.50-$6ish majestic. Dead Eye gives +3 and discard on hit. You can stack hit triggers with JJE so that JJE resolves first, forcing the opponent to discard all but one card, then Dead Eye discards the one that JJE left behind. Discard on hit is also a very powerful on hit. Lace with Frailty & Yellow Read the Glide Path can be taken out for Dead Eye & JJE

I don t understand why people sort alphabetically as it is such a massive massive time waster when sorting bulk. Numbers at so much faster especillay inserting cards into boxes once you have all the numbers set instead of having to figure out where the "DO" something words are within the D columns. I dont sell on tcgplayer so its not an issue for me. Get an order, paste it into excel, click button and pick up numbers in sequence. Also built in is separating foils and non foils by putting plains first and next foils with a diff separator tab mening that in 3 sec I can pull any foil of any set.

I bought the racoon mtg deck (my first mtg product bought since 2021 probably). The difference with Magic is that the commander product is not aimed to be used in any sort of competition, it's a casual product. In fact, my playgroup has house rules to the point that I even bought the deck and replaced 3 cards from it because they are too powerful in our self balanced meta (Greater Good, Blasphemous Act and Sol Ring). Although the FAB armory decks can also be used this way, they are meant to be an entry point for people to get into the game... a game that has competition in its roots. If you play at a LGS, you are probably facing people with completed decks, leaving you at a big disadvantage. I looked at the azalea deck and thought about buying it, but upon looking at the general azaleas decklists, the precon lacks cards like Codex of Frailty. A card that is run on a full set and each of them costing almost 2 times the price of the precon (at least looking at the prices here in Brazil). If you give me the price of just one Codex of Frailty, I could do wonders to improve the racoon deck. I understand the point of the FAB armory decks having more absolute value in terms of the card prices, but the idea of the products makes the MTG one much more complete than the FAB one. The armory deck is an entry point that will require you to spend a good amount to complete your deck, while the commander one only requires you to have a playgroup that doesn't run only the best cards in the game.

@brenosulzbacher I understand where you're coming from. The video is mainly to show that both products contain bulk and can be upgraded. Many people who play in Pods for EDH also want to win as well, so the eventual path for playing is to upgrade the deck. You could even argue that you can spend the same amount to upgrade both decks and spend nearly the same to get them to a "competitive" level. I say competitive in quotes because you don't need things like Codex to win, its just another upgrade.

@@AshenWingzTCG Yeah, I mean, just from the financial point the FAB decks are just better. I just wanted to point out that the nature of the products are kind of different. I wish to build some FAB decks, but the prices of some cards hold me back a lot of times. They are huge investments. I'm almost closing a Prism deck and technically I'll have the OG Prism too if I wish to play LL. I'm also buying some wizards cards. Both classes generally don't use CnC, for example. Another card that is absurdly expensive right now and I don't know if they are going to reprint anytime soon. That's where I'm at odds with FAB, because the game is amazing, but so many decks require those generic cards that are so damn expensive and they don't supply those cards enough (I would have to buy CnC from outside websites, since the main website that the LGSs in Brazil sell their cards don't show a single copy of it available...). The racoon deck was an easy pick as I have a casual playgroup. If I pick the Azalea deck, i'll feel kind of pressured to upgrade the deck, but that's not the case for the MTG deck. In terms of competing in the commander format, Bello as a commander might not even be viable even with infinite budget, but then again... commander is mostly casual. Those precons are not a door for you to improve them and compete.

@brenosulzbacher Well I'm hoping some reprints come our way soon in FaB. I know its a barrier for most. Mechanologist also doesn't use CnC and Maxx just won a big tournament just recently. There are always options, but forcing people into those options is a feelbad

@@AshenWingzTCG The heroes that hooked me initially were Prism, Briar and Dash. Like I said, I decided to focus on illusionist and wizard for now, but i'm flirting with Dash I/O since the class doesn't run generics, like you pointed out. Teklo heart is absurdly cheap compared to most core equipment from the other classes and most of the decks lists have pretty cheap cards too.

6 and higher power on cards is not as abundant in commoner overall, so phantasm ends up hardly being a problem. Enigma chimeras and spectral riders are very useful, in my experience. They arent the only focus, i split up the attacks with building ward weapons as well, but to punctuate Enigma's regular playstyle with the common phantasm attacks is very strong.

Yeah at least having a few phantasm attacks helps out a bit. That Guardian/brute matchups have just given me alot of PTSD lol

The problem is Us. We used to be the target audience. We want a brutal fast paced action game. Where there is no mercy or quarter given. But now they design for a game where everyone is laughing together, doesn’t matter if you win, hold back on eachother, let the weak limp along, political deals are happening, no real threat to lose the game early because of the high life totals. I think it’s Worse, but have come to accept the fact that it’s just Different, and I’m no longer the main audience. 😅
