Thank you so much for this video! As a new MTG player, this videos are going to help me a lot!

Loved the "steamed hams" reference at the end. Thank you for these videos. Really makes me want to pick up both of these if i can find it for that price. Seems like a good deal and a great way to get friends into the game.

The reprints are solid. That’s why I picked up the pair yesterday at my LGS. They are a good time out of the box unlike past planeswalker decks.

I wish stores around here did a two-for-one deal. The price for these is truly excellent! Around here they're more the equivalent of 27 dollars, but as the Ikoria decks cost about 55 dollars each, I'm not complaining. I'd love to see Wizards of the Coast make more decks at this quality and above in the future at the same price. I actually have a great proposition for them: cut the way-too-small deck box and the paper life counter, especially the expensive-to-print foil cards, oversized card and heck, the lands, and make sure the rest of the cards are solid, and sell the deck at half the price! Everybody wins! Okay, they should obviously have key pieces to be able to play out-of-the-box, but if I'm going to have to pay 25 dollars for cardboard, I'd prefer that very cardboard being specific cards that enhance the playing experience. I don't care about foils. I enjoy the game and want to be able to play it. A solid video, and it's nice to see I'm not the only one pleased to be able to buy two commander decks for the price of one.

Great review! I picked these up yesterday and was so thrilled with the content! I really hope this becomes the standard.

In WotC's defense, fewer new cards means less time designing them. And with only two decks instead of four, probably also a smaller team and/or less time spent. It's still an absolute steal, but just wanted to undercut the "it's the same cardboard" argument.

only the number of new cards vs old cards should affect that, not the total number of decks. if they made 10 precons all with the same number of new vs old cards, the amount of design effort *per deck* is approximately the same (assuming the decks are each about equal in power level), and therefore the design effort-levels would not vary much between each deck.

I picked up Sneak Attack last night before even watching this video and I gotta back you up Prof. I was quite impressed and happy about my purchase.

The mana base seems a little more compromised than "traditional" commander decks (even though those aren't exactly great they usually include at least a couple of untapped duals whereas these just have command tower) but other than that I'm pretty impressed. IDK why WotC seems to have such a good grasp of how to build a decent out-of-the-box commander deck, but prints bull crap like Planeswalker decks and Intro Packs to introduce players to Standard. Maybe the fact that it's a singleton format helps? A big problem with 60 card introductory decks is that they rarely include play sets of important cards and that problem simply doesn't exist for Commander...

@@martenyus That is a good point. I agree that there should be a middle ground between giving a new player a deck that has room to grow and giving someone a deck that is competitive out-of-the-box but I think the scale is tipped too far towards the earlier and not the later. From my experiences at least, new players aren't exactly having fun if they feel that their opponents deck is insurmountable no matter what they do with theirs and it reinforces the stereotype that the game is all about how much money you spend on the deck. In addition, making the deck a hodge podge of cards with no real direction certainly adds room for growth, but its not exactly a great example of how to build an exciting and functional deck. If you are going to make pre-con decks for players shouldn't they demonstrate a good model for deck-building? I think some of the key commons/uncommons of the deck should at least be in playsets to give the deck more direction/consistency without making the deck a "finished" product.

I disagree on the price point issue. I can imagine that the "regular" preconstructed commander decks do cost more to produce. Not to print, but to design. All the new cards that were designed needed development time from R&D.

Buying anything because you're infected by FOMO is consumerism, not capitalism. This is actually bad for capitalism because it's a behavior that risks you losing your financial stability and stop consuming because you're now homeless. Same reason why the least regulated physiologically addictive drug is the one that doesn't impede your ability to keep making money.

Yeah that’s a stretch, I understood it to be that MTG players just don’t care about the price or quality of the products, they’re gonna buy it anyways lol.

@@dogehkiindogeborn5339 No, it's not. Capitalism dies if consumers don't have money whether because they're not paid enough to pay for the products and services in supply (Detroit) or because they wasted their capital in overpriced luxury shit and drained the productive industry they depend upon of sustainability (Fifth Avenue).

@@Stroggoii Thing is, capitalism committing suicide and turning into neo-feudalism is something leftists like myself keep warning will happen just due to its incredibly warped and unrealistic ideological structure. Consumerism is an outgrowth of the capitalist mantra of infinite growth, and capitalism funnels all the resources into ever-fewer hands simply by its operation; wealth under capitalism snowballs, and in a finite space with finite (not even scarce -- just finite) resources, that's going to end up taking those resources from those on the bottom to give to those on the top. This will eventually cause the collapse of capitalism and a return to feudalism, but the process is still a function of capitalism, and the things that prevent that from happening are likewise still external to capitalism itself.

Tobias Lehmann my bad. Must be those I was thinking of then. Kinda bizarre having collectors boosters coming out later than regular ones though.

Open your wallets, close your eyes and Aetherize! I like to think that was on purpose :D

This was the first year I bought both on release, and got back into commander. Fantastic review. I was just going to pillage the land one, but I may try to upgrade both together.

The bit at the end had me going. Well done Prof.

Open your wallets and close your eyes, lol.

Its really wierd how they get stingy on the lands the more colours are added to to the decks. Remember 5C dragons? Wotc were they thinking

Honestly the mana bases of that entire release was scuffed. I was playing the cats and was having mana issues at 2 colors with one of them being green. What the hell was wizards thinking with those?

I’m so excited! I was looking for a commander for one of my favorite cards, Knight of the Reliquary, and this Lands Wrath deck is perfect.

Thank you, Prof! Definitely going to scoop these!
