Its no different to gambling, and if you have the money and are okay with the risk, crack a box.

I read your post, then watched it happen.

WotC: We care about the environment and are taking steps to reduce packaging Also WotC: We put 4 individually plastic wrapped packs in a cardboard box, then, for no discernible reason, put that box into another box thats basically the same size as the first box. The second box isn't bigger to offer better shoplifting protection, nor is it a shipping box made to hold multiples of the product and not for display. Nope, just a display box around a second display box.

I love that these videos allow me to vicariously crack packs I really cannot afford myself. It also reminds me every time that I think about buying an expensive pack, I'm being stupid and I buy a cheaper pack for the fun of cracking them. Thank you professor!

I love the booster box game because it's not "will it make back its money?" but "when it doesn't make it's money back, will the Prof. still buy another one?"

Dang the professor is always looking fly! I haven't been in the MTG scene in a few years and this channel never gets old.

Can we just stand in awe for a moment that MtG has reached a point where you can open a $144 card in a single booster and still run the real risk of not hitting a good return on investment in your 'box'? I mean what in the actual heck.

Best advice is to buy a box to open an then one to keep. That way regardless of what u get down the road u can sell it sealed for more. Maybe not for every set but I'd say at least most are worth it

It's as if WOTC has priced seal product almost exactly at the expected value of the singles, in a way that singles will not drop in price too much (or at least for long), so the secondary market is not really impacted by re-prints. Interesting.......

@Lohkyn I don't really think it's hypocritical, selling high value singles ensures more are on the secondary market to lower the price. I've opened packs for fun from more affordable sets - I get that it's not always about monetary value. Opening packs just isn't possible for a lot of people at the 2x2 price point. IMO the Professor saying "buy singles" is trying to discourage people from opening packs hoping for one or two choice cards or return on investment.

I love the intro of him ‘bathing’ in the pack wrappers.

A guilty pleasure of a video but a welcome one. Thank you Prof!

My favorite Defender is Axebane Guardian. 5:08, hahaha Imperial Seal triggers the royalty-free Pokémon music.

I think my biggest issue with these packs is the intense variance in prices within them. In box 2 pack 1 was $130 something and pack 2 was $20. Both individually they both cost what, $80?? My biggest issue with this set is how lopsided it is and feels even more like a lottery than usual.

that is just how booster packs in any TCG are. The value of the cards in the pack can swing wildly depending on what pulls are in each pack. Does WOTC have some control of that? yes they set what cards are what rarity and what the print run is at each rarity level and specify what the contents of each pack is on the number of cards of each rarity, then choose if they want to restrict any special art, finishes or borderless cards to certain types of packs. Beyond that it is all math and up to the machines that mix the cards and seal them into boosters. It is just as likely that you buy a bum pack and your buddy who bought one right after got a lottery card ( so to speak) as it is to be the other way around. if anything the odds probably favor both you and your buddy getting meh packs .

ok, I legit laughed at you laying on a "pile" of 4 wrappers. That was a good joke and you should feel proud of it. If wizards said they made these collector boxes just so you could do it, I would almost forgive them.

They really, finally got etching right in this set and now I love it

My favorite defender is Tree of Perdition because of all the fun (and janky) combos

FanTAstic job keeping the cards behind the front one a secret. C for effort

The sad part is that even on that last box, the Professor was "only" losing around 30$ if he sold the cards now, but if he only sold them in 4-5 years, those same cards might be worth 2-3x times more, and that's why so many people are getting into these collector boosters, and why WotC will keep pushing them out at higher prices but with less cards. I can already see the day where they are going to release the Mythic booster pack, that has 1!!!! Mythic card, for 500$, where the average return value will be 50$, and they will still sell out...
