      ​@@SoLRAace I think they just like to make people believe what few cards they open are more rare than they actually are. As the prebanned common from MH3 showed, Wizards doesn't really look at Pauper much and its up to the Pauper Panel to ban what needs to be banned instead.

    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.

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.

    Can normal foil cards even be called "premium" anymore? My store has something like 25K bulk foils that I use to fill a slot in the $1 repacks I make every month, and I'm still falling behind.

    Assassin's Creed and Destiny always holds a special place in my heart. A lot of people bash both games due to the routes that both games went, but as a loner growing up I knew that both games were there is I needed to kill some things or do a puzzle. I remember the Princess Bride did not score high, but due to the memories you have with Princess Bride this set and the Lord of the Rings set will always have that spot for me as well. Thank you Proffesor always look forward to your videos.

    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 :)

    I saw on a MTG RUclips channel video that the host called the land slot a "mana fixing slot." Not sure if it was meant to be called that for all boosters, but I stand by what I commented there, which I'm repeating here: they need to get rid of the land slot all together because that land slot isn't "fixing" anything, other then Hasbro giving away too many cards players will actually be using.
    10:08 Yes (for me). I'll be playing with them. I plan to build a 5 color commander deck with only (mostly) these cards. As you've said for Secret Lairs, I will be buying this for my personal collection, but the current price doesn't sit well with me.

  • @forceofwillgaming8475
    @forceofwillgaming8475 7 дней назад +2

    Yes and no. Yes if you want to simply crack packs and sit on the cards and wait for them to go up simply because they can’t be reprinted. No because the packs are small and can’t even be drafted. This is very conflicting. It really only seems worth is to buy packs/sealed product for sellers and not players. That’s just my opinion

    I think this didn't age well, even just a couple of days later. We see several cards spiking because they are just good cards and people see their value. Basim, is not underpowered for modern and the price spike is showing that--it's not just a commander card. There is tons for commander, and when the assassin theme wears off, I'm sure there will be a huge drop for many of these cards, but until that time, people are going to LOVE playing Edward Kenway.
    We will also see through time, there will be many cards that were overlooked just because it is an assassin and people pulled 3 of them in every box. Shay Cormac, for instance... it will be an on-sight kill to anyone who loves to stuff their decks with Greaves. But, it won't even matter. If it hits the board, your greaves are worthless for 1 at instant speed. Protecting your commander is big business, so anyone running Orhzov and spot removal will include it, not caring it is a Human Knight Assassin. And it will have limited prints. The price will climb later, once people realize this set wasn't Aftermath.
