This set is very dear to me. My wife of 17 years and partner of 24 started playing MTG with me on our second date. We opened 2 boxes of legacy, one in the park and the other in a motel room. She's been playing MTG ever since.

Man this takes me back to high school.. I opened LOADS of Urza Block.. absolutely love this!! I played on and off since beta and opened a black lotus- which I promptly traded for a Shivan Dragon… I really wish I wasn’t so dumb when I was younger lol

in the 90s i passed up over 20 dual lands in the 10cent box because i only had a few bucks and wanted serra angels and royal assassins instead. i only ended up with a single bayou which i sold for $100. i've played since then and have never again owned an original dual land.

Relate to these comments so much. Had the opportunity to pick up a Timetwister for $120 and didn’t have the money (was 12 years old.) Wish I had prioritized power, duals, chase lands, and premodern foils so much more. Still have my HP Ancestral Recall.

Open them all!

The first pre-release I went to ever. The nostalgia is real with this set.

I was born in December of '98, in the middle of the infamous Combo Winter! This was the first MtG set released during my lifetime! Awesome to see this opening!!

What an amazing and expensive trip down nostalgia lane. Moss you are crushing it lately my man. 🤜🤛

Got introduced to the game back in high school and it was Urza's Destiny as the most recent MTG set. I remember Urza's Legacy boosters sold at the city's only hobby shop, and I was just checking on the individual common cards to buy for my first deck as I could not afford the booster packs.

I like to open my magic packs vicariously through you. Just today even I pulled a Foil Crop Rotation from Urza's Legacy! For serious though, Within the last 6 months I've pulled my personal two most expensive cards: Jeweled Lotus from a box break, and a Foil Etched Phyrexian Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant from a bundle I bought on a whim. Both times, I was in disbelief because I NEVER pull anything like that from packs lol! I was literally shaking with excitement and just sat there smiling for way too damn long lmao! For example, before that, I think my biggest pull was Chromatic Orrery. Anyway, good stuff man. I really dig these old school box breaks.

Props Joey! You're putting out some awesome vintage content, unlike anything else on KZread!

What a treat this is. I like hearing about all of your magic history and experience it’s very refreshing and uplifting. It keeps me coming back everyday to watch your videos. # keep putting out these awesome vids for me and I’ll keeps watching those ads for you.

Love seeing this get opened! This block 8s my favorite too. In the future I would live to see prices on these older box openings

Yea he was talking to me.. he said Ryan 😂😂

This was so much fun to watch! Man, what a blast

Most expensive card I ever pulled from a pack was a foil Academy Rector from Urza's Destiny when the set came out. Or maybe Gaea's cradle and Mox Diamond. But those were opened in the 90's or very early 2000's.

Sliver Queen, Mox Diamond, Cradle, Academy, dreadnaught. You name it. Had all of them as a teenager. Back then they had little to no value since those were new cards and no one even thought of playing anything besides 1n1 with 20 life. So most of the now super expensive cards were pretty average back then. The Commander format made them broken and skyrocket. Like Ur-Dragon and Edgar. I bought Ur-Dragon für $2 four years ago. Now it is at ~60 lol.

I'll brag. When I was younger opening a box of stronghold, I pulled a Rudy with two mox diamonds and a sliver queen

@joefekete4384 well hot dam, impressive!

Killing it with the old school openings lately. Your audience is surely entertained! Most expensive card I've opened I believe was a Foil Retro Force of Negation. But I've opened 2 invocations, one of which was Opposition, which I used in combination with The Locust God in a draft to lock people out of the game, and the other one I forgot but also wasn't very notable as well as an expedition Kor Haven.

I feel ya Joey. Sold my cards back in 2001... I am collecting again and having fun. Thanks for the videos! You rip more variety than most.

Wow, thanks Joey for doing this box opening! Brings back memories from my early young adulthood when I was in college. Thanks brother!

Love these openings, I wish I had my old cards from 20+ years ago. I had so many from tempest to urza then gave up to play Warhammer. I just started back again collecting a few months ago I kick myself for not knowing what I did with my old cards. I love that smell of old cards, I wish they made a scented candle or something with that smell 😂

Very cool, opening. It was fun being a part of it. My first old school foil. Never hit one back in the day.

My god Joey what is happening on this channel....this is amazing so much TOP content and opening,plus the memories the feelings holy hell this is EPIC thanks Joey!!!!

The most expensive cards I opened weren't very expensive at the time when I opened them, they got expensive years to decades later so I can't really count Duals, Cradles, Mox Diamonds, etc. That being said, taking immediate value into account, foil Wrenn and Six from a 3 pack blister about a week after MH release. Pulled a foil Echo of Eons from the same 3 pack.

This is the set that just came out when I started playing. Thanks so much for doing this. Its crazy how much the boxes are, you can buy 3x foil Grim monoliths for the price of this box. But super fun to watch it being cracked thx for the nostalgia.

Brings back memories of cracking packs in jr high. Thankfully I’ve kept my Grim Monoliths 😃

Dude, you have been cracking some fire of late. I can always count on Joey to crack the packs I Wana crack so I can live vicariously through him lol

I started playing when Urza block was legal standard. This is awesome, I cannot imagine there are many of these boxes left. Also my favorite block

This was awesome to watch. Radiant, Archangel was the first foil rare I ever pulled and I sold it for like a handful of packs. Young and dumb for sure.

Joey mate this is bananas 🍌! So so cool. I just cracked open another random buy for the channel, and the 90’s player looked like they stopped for the Urza block 🥴. Great work

Favorite part of video is the interaction between u n youre son thats awsome

I've only gotten back into mtg recently. Notable pulls. I think these cards all still go for $85+ with a couple over $100. 1. Foil mystical archive jp alternate art Time Warp. (And normal) 2. Foil force of negation (and normal) 3. Tamiyo phyrexian Foil 4. Wandering emperors showcase (got the standard border in foil 2x) 5. Foil bloodstained mire zendikar rising Honorable mention goes to actually pulling 5 urza sagas on my own and the normal and borderless cabal coffers. I watch box openings of mh2 alot but seem to actually see fetch lands more than those gems. Urza saga especially, I love colorless decks.

Joey, your content has been particularly fire lately. Keep it up!

Urzas block is my favorite set ever. The foils just look so damn good. That's why I collected all of them I could get from our friend group and have them to this day in a binder with new fresh protectors as of last time sorting the collection. Started playing right after Urzas, but they were still in stores all over town for quite a while. Used to love booster drafts when we could travel the hour to another town to play in them on Friday nights. Would be awesome to get some a box and do a draft with the old friends who are left.

The most expensive card I've opened so far was also the first event I played: Amonkhet Pre-Release "Entomb Invocation". What a day...

i love your "i cant believe its not butter voice man!

*puts gloves on to protect from the greases on his hands* *Immediately high fives himself with one glove on* LOL

Good video man! Really brings me back to when I first started getting into MTG, although I really got into it during odyssey block. My best pull was out of commanders legend where I pulled a foil jeweled lotus and an extended mana drain in the same pack!

Never opened the set, but its still one of my favorites! Also, I have the same exact playmat!

ill never forget my first foil card. my friend and i looked thru the pack and then he went up to eat dinner. THEN i realized that the "slow motion" in the pack was shiny. i had to wait 20 minutes for him to finish dinner before i could share my excitement!

I played back then when this came out and it is just nostalgia seeing it opened.

Nice!! My fav set is Tempest. I just finished 4 weeks of sorting 45k cards, and scanning the rares/vintage. In the end i had 2280 rares and 180 mythics, and about 300 cards from each set of tempest, urzas, mirage, visions and later sets. I was pretty happy with the older cards, even had some reserved list cards in there. They aren't minty fresh like that be-au-ti-ful box you just cracked. Most expensive card I've pulled is a Japanese Alt Art Foil Nissa who shakes the world, it's worth about... I'm not sure $400 maybe?

I started on Antiquities and I opened a few Mishra's Workshop back in the day.

Didn’t start playing until around Khans, but my best pull is either Ulamog the Ceaseless Hunger (told my LGS I couldn’t afford one so just bought a single pack and it was in that pack). OR a Foil Timeshifted True-name Nemesis from a TSR 3 pack. So amazing to pull. Love these older sets. Even though I didn’t play during this time I have nostalgia for them haha

This set and WCW vs NWO bring back some great memories. Just found your channel and love the videos. Keep up the great work!

Most valuble pull for me was a Scrubland out of a Revised Pack in 2015 at GP Liverpool. got the pack from the prize wall and I damn near passed out with shock and excitement!

Great video. I never got to crack open Urza block. My most expensive card I opened was Juzam Djinn back in 1994, which sat in my binder until 2018. I had it graded by BGS. Came back BGS 9.5 with 10 centering.

I bought an Hour of Devastation box and pulled a masterpiece No Mercy after watching you crack all of those HoD packs.

Pre-release weekend of BFZ I opened a Scalding Tarn Expedition in one of my two prize packs. That was my most expensive card I opened at the time of opening. The most expensive card I opened which went up a lot over time was a Mox Diamond. I bought a single pack for $18 at the time and got reaaaaally lucky.

Just every time I see you upload I get so excited and even more when I see it’s more than 20 minutes Love

Dang man. My dad got me into MTG 2 years back. 11 now and I got a decent collection, would love to be able to open one of these. Skadoosh 👍🏻

If only I could go back and tell myself to keep a few cases of this block.

Urza’s legacy had me saving up lunch money haha

Sweet opening, one of my fav blocks as well. I'm not sure what the most expensive I've pulled, probably the misprints I just tagged you in though. Best pull for trade though was Urza's Legacy back when it came out I pulled a Foil Radiant Archangel and traded it to my lgs for an unlimited Mox Jet, even trade card for card. I bet that never happens again lmao

at the time of release , i pulled full art foil oko thief of crowns from regular booster , was cool

I miss this time in Magic. Value at time of opening, highest value card I pulled from a booster was an Expedition Flooded Strand

I don't know why but that Darkwartch elves always made me think of Celine Dion

So excited for this. My swan song set as a kid (headed to high-school and put mtg down). Still got my foil crop rotation. Gl everyone

Nice video! I started playing magic in the urza block and the best card I opened was a palinchron in foil. But in that time it was worth only a few bugs😂

Brown Town Clown: "Am I a joke to you?"

Super cool to get the history of the box!

i pulled a foil memory jar back in the day i never understood what it did when i was a kid just thought it looked amazing, then like you sold or lost my whole childhood collection would be cool to look at those cards one more time lol.

I got literally the last two draft packs of crimson vow at wally world and the very last card I thought was gonna be a token was the castlevania Kojima art Alucard foil in all its glory!

Moss boss been on a roll lately, most expensive card I've ever pulled was a foil misty rainforest expedition from Battle for Zendikar.

When I was first getting into playing at FNM Drafts at my LGS, I did a random Hour of Devastation pack and won 3 prize packs. In the last one, I opened a Thoughtseize invocation.

i literally shouted JOEY!!! WEAR SOME GLOVES MAN!!! woooh good thing he did...

That was just a beautiful box!

I once bought 3 booster packs of Battle for Zendikar on my birthday on the way home from college and pulled expedition Polluted Delta. Pretty spicy.

Nice set.. took me years to collect the whole foil legacy set but I did complete it... still have it in NM condition today...;)

The 1st pack I opened from this set had a foil quicksilver amulet in it. The 2nd pack was a non-foil one.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys smelling cards 😆

Back in the days I pulled a foil Sliver Overlord and it's nm yet, not even bent over the years. Must be my most valuable card I pulled by myself so far.

If we're going by booster pack, the most expensive card I ever pulled was a Battlebond Land Tax, out of a prerelease pack, was the date stamped Liliana from War of the Spark

That's kinda insane cause I pulled my foiled common cards in my box back then too. Crop rotation, Repopulate, Weatherseed Elf. However, I was super lucky enough to pull a Goblin welder foil and a Replenish foil, which are amonst my most valuable cards today.

Man the artwork is so epic from the urza's block..foil crop rotation about 220$..gg my good sir

Epic. Love these unboxings

I find it funny how hes getting off on openimg the cards lol 🤣🤣

Joey this is nuts!!! Opening Urza block is crazy. Most expensive card ever opened out a pack was a random mystery booster I bought at my LGS... and what do I hit... That sweet Mana Crypt baby!

joey knew exactly what he was doing opening these......very clever

I believe the most expensive card I’ve opened is the force of will invocation from hour of devastation. I came back to playing about 5-6 years ago when amonkhet was out. I went kinda nuts because I was so excited to be playing again. My first 2 boxes I opened the force of will and a blood moon. In total I probably opened 20 hour of Dev boxes and about 10~ invocations

This channel is so great. Nostalgia, brother... pure nostalgia.

Joey you crack me up with the grading guesses.. I've sent pack fresh ATQ and got 8.5 and 9s at best. Packs cards don't equal 9+ grades. Nice opening

I pulled a JPN alt art foil Narset out of my 2nd ever Japanese War of the Spark pack when I bought a box. It was around $300 then. My most consistent luck was Modern Horzions 1. I pulled 5 Wrenn and Six in about 1 case total opened.

Used to trade revised duals for Royal Assassins, Shivan Dragons, and Doppelgangers. Tabernacles and Bazaars were garbage. I've pulled most of the big money (now) cards from revised on but my favorite is my og foil Mom.

Most expensive card I've ever pulled was from a recent set. I got the foil alt art Japanese Liliana from a Japanese war of the spark box. Funny enough it was the last box at my LGS and it sat in the store quite some time until I bit the bullet and bought it last year.

Awesome video. Love watching this stuff. Takes me back.. Keep it up ninja..

Most expensive card I pulled from a pack was the foil version of Richard Garfield from Unhinged. His signature is the foil element on the card and it’s soooo cool.

The best pull I've ever had was a masterpiece Mana Crypt from the Kaladesh block. I also opened a masterpiece Sol Ring, and a Rings of Brighthearth around the same time too, but I don't crack packs these days like I used to. I doubt I'll ever open anything as big as that Mana Crypt again.

My best pull so far is a masterpiece crucible of worlds I got out of a Kaladesh holiday gift box. Haven't had a chance yet to open anything older than OG Innistrad but it's nice to see older packs opened!

Like value when opened? Chains of Mephistopheles at $1100. A few cards I opened are worth more now but weren’t then.

As a native Iowan who was 13 and playing when this came out, it is entirely possible I know the orginal collector.
