    I appreciated you mentioning the real purpose of the set's production- to expand the audience with AC fans -while many might not care, since this is a more business-y series of videos, it's nice seeing that amount of awareness of the genuine motivations behind the release. You've always made a point of mentioning your critique is not critical for shock value, but from a point of sincerity. Understanding the real reasons for a product's development and release is part of it. I appreciate you striving to always understand the wider context of what's going on in Magic, rather than just resting on your laurels.

    Same here. I wanted a commander deck and I thought "well, can't hurt to buy a bundle before buying singles". Ended up walking away with about 110€ in value for my 55€, which is pretty damn great. But that's gonna drop. The Sword of Feast and Famine and Black Market Connections are gonna hold their value, the resr ist absolutely going down. And I still had to pay a lot for all the other cards I needed, including me splurging on a scene-Etio that will definitely drop off hard. Not really worth it financially, I was just fortunate enough to get a kicker out of it anyways.

He have never played but after watching your commander videos he really wanted to try it out. I havent played since way way wayy back. And really like assassins. So hope to hook other friends with these decks and transition into commander.

    Im 30 years old now and started playing magic with 12. With around 20 i started to play legacy and really loved the game and the fact there was always a community. In Legacy you had to invest alot of monney but then u could play the same decks for a very long time, perfect for guys like me who love to foil everything out. I even started buying alpha duals. around 3 years ago i quitted and if i watch the products released since then (and also around this time) im really happy i stopped collecting at this time. it dissapoints me so hard how the company try to squeeze out monney from the customers with special cards/sets power creep and so on. still watch your videos because im a big fan. i really hope they find theyre way back to the god old times. sorry for my bad english btw :)

May end up picking a playset of tax collectors and one more set of starters since those seem to be maybe usable for modern at some point.

    I am a student, so I cant afford to splurge on MTG. I barely managed to scrape together a decent funny deck, and I am happy with it. Since AC is one of my favorite game series, I ended up buying the starter deck, which fits in my budget. Primarily, I bought this because I honestly just really like the art on the cards. Hoping to get my hands on as many showcase cards as possible, so fingers crossed hehe
