    Honestly was not expecting more than one box here

    • @JonnDuune
      @JonnDuune 7 лет назад +34

      The only reason why it made it past one is the masterpiece.

    • @Ghost26968
      @Ghost26968 7 лет назад +11

      It just proves that these sets continue to be Master Piece or bust.

    • @eusouzoom
      @eusouzoom 7 лет назад +5

      if the second box had the same invocation, the box still would've been a miserable failure

    • @snakelockdoes4942
      @snakelockdoes4942 7 лет назад +5

      Alex Aurisch yeah, I was also surprised to see the amount of mythics in the first boc

    • @brianw.8695
      @brianw.8695 7 лет назад +1

      Only a Thoughtsieze or Damnation Invocation would save the second box.

  • @spencernadeau
    @spencernadeau 7 лет назад +74

    For all those curious (as I was), here is a comprehensive list of best and worst boxes we have ever seen with the professor playing the booster box game.
    Most value out of a standard legal set: BFZ = 290.50 (includes Bloodstained Mire Expedition). KLD was a close second at 256.18 (includes Mox Opal Invention).
    Most boxes opened for a standard legal set (launch + post pro tour) = SOI at 6 boxes.
    Lowest value out of a standard legal set = BFZ at 28.00. HOU was a close second at 32.51.
    Fewest boxes opened for a standard legal set were DTK (1 box at launch), Magic Origins (1 box at launch), AER (1 box at launch and 1 box post pro tour), and AMK (1 box).
    Most value ever playing the booster box game = Eternal Masters at 344.03.
    Most consecutive boxes opened ever playing the booster box game = MM 2017 with 6 boxes.

      Jeremy Marchal Sure thing! I Just rewatched the entire booster box game playlist and wrote everything down so everybody could know.

    Man you could almost build cat tribal just off that second box

  • @christophergodden5803
    @christophergodden5803 7 лет назад +87

    Professor, thank you for opening that second booster box so no one had to draft that box of garbage.

    • @midtiermagic
      @midtiermagic 7 лет назад +13

      You do know that the value of a box does not determine the drafting experience right?

    • @arcarodrigoarca
      @arcarodrigoarca 7 лет назад

      Personally, I don't use to have so much fun at drafting like with this block. Cycling ftw.

    • @mikevitrosoo621
      @mikevitrosoo621 7 лет назад

      yeah half that box was just terrible.

    • @christophergodden5803
      @christophergodden5803 7 лет назад +1

      Jason Tan Oh yes. I don't go into drafts looking for value, but playing with and against exciting bombs helps make the experience more fun. We saw two pride sovereigns and three reckonings? Things can get more exciting than that!

    • @depokegamer

  • @jasonmckenna576
    @jasonmckenna576 7 лет назад +262

    Suggestion for next time professor, you should have a pack counter so we know how many you've opened/have left to open.

    • @mikevitrosoo621
      @mikevitrosoo621 7 лет назад +4

      i have thought about this and just watching the packs vanish from the box works.

    • @KumaKaori
      @KumaKaori 7 лет назад

      Jason Mckenna Agreed, I had fun trying to count along, but was inevitably off by one or two by the end of each box.

    • @WheelDragon

      Yes, please do this

    • @robertlozyniak3661

      This would be a perfect use for one of those Reaper Scrye life counters that the Professor reviewed in another video.

    • @Ryan-mk6ch
      @Ryan-mk6ch 7 лет назад +1

      Maybe a smaller window in the bottom/top corner with a view of the box overhead?

  • @kevinhusser2090
    @kevinhusser2090 7 лет назад

    I want to thank you for two things this go around, Professor. First, thank you for playing the booster box game. Its fun to watch and I don't have to waste my money on a box to see what they are like. Second, thank you for putting in that clip from Star Trek: TNG. Now I know that I am not the only one who hears that in my head every time I see or hear Djeru, With Eyes Open.

  • @L0j1k
    @L0j1k 7 лет назад +10

    It's basically exactly what Rudy said: Unless you get one of the lottery cards, you don't make your money back.

    • @Something37891
      @Something37891 7 лет назад

      Even with a lottery card, if you don't get the right rares and mythics the box will be a bust. if that last box got an innvocation, I'm not sure it would've even broken even.

  • @ryanb4991

  • @stanmilkowski3550
    @stanmilkowski3550 7 лет назад

    The music played in this video is wonderful. It reminds me of happy memories playing point and click adventure/rpg titles on the PC like the King's Quest Series in the late 80s and early 90s. Thank you so much for your videos professor!

  • @mosesmaserati_9350
    @mosesmaserati_9350 7 лет назад

    I have been watching you for a long time from a computer in my local library and I just got into magic. My parents say that we can't afford any booster boxes which makes me sad because they look so much fun to practice draft with my friends and family. It would be the kindest effort if I could win one of your booster boxes from this event. If you do I will never forget the day you made a young boy happy.

      TBH though, only US market is crazy about those. I can reliably get them for 40 yen each (less than 40 cents) as of this weekend. On the other hand, I can't find Nimble Obstructionist for less than 700 yen, so there's that too ^^;

    Wow !! (1:42) Prof is rich from his patreons and now hes giving back to the community. THANKS PROF !
    After watching box 1, seeing no bolas, Im not surprised the box was saved by an invocation. But you did hit the best rare (Hour of Devastation). Gl on box 2. Oh did I mention that LLR Playmat and Sleeve of Urza has a serious troll face? I wouldn't use that anywhere unless I wanted to get punched after winning any games of Magic.
    Box 2... OUCH. This makes me feel sorry for LGS, since they have to open boxes for singles stock. With the dropping prices of the cards I seriously hope they don't go under.

    I don't know why you're enjoyed watching these so much Prof probably just because of knowing that you're getting the value or maybe losing a little bit but having fun along the way. But the best part without it it was the Star Trek joke I really hope more people get that then I think well

  • @AKASyx
    @AKASyx 7 лет назад

    What do you do with the extra stuff that doesn't get sold, like the commons and uncommons? I assume you'd keep some of it but that amount of extra cards seems like it would take up a great deal of space. Have you donated any to school clubs? It might be extra work, but back when I was in school, it helped get a few people into the game. Great vid as always.

    Hello professor! I'm really amazed how the game went this time, didn't expect to go that "far" to be honest. Also I want to say thanks for the great videos you are making, have been enjoying them. As someone who is quite new to Magic I found your videos to be a great pleasure and extremely helpful to watch.
    I would like to know where you check your prices for the cards. I tried to look some sites up but there are quite a lot so it gets easily confusing.

    It doesn't look very randomized. Firebrand archer seems to be VERY often on top of the boosters. Not only in the first box, but also in the second, and not only on this video, also in other box opening videos. Is it just my imagination?

    Hey professor, I know that the Magic: Duels app for IOS has been out for a while now, but do you ever plan to review it? I feel it has the potential to be a decent introduction for people who want to try the game without spending any money. I'm curious what you think of it, however.

    That Urza Decreaux sleeve for Doomsday was too fitting.

    Professor I love the playmat and sleeves you were showing off. Do you happen to have a link where I can get this art?

    Ok my issue is I am still relatively new to magic and I don’t know what singles I should buy especially when I don’t even know the type of deck I like to play. When I first started I had a Elspeth deck, and now I have a Chandra deck and a Nissa deck. I would like more that would fit the current standard but I have no idea where to start.

    Off topic question but it's bugging me because I can't find it. What is the song that starts around 9 minute mark in this video. None of the credited songs appear to be it. It was used in at least one more of your videos and I couldn't find it credited there either. Thanks.

    Geez, Prof. Way to sound out the frustration of terrible Booster Boxes. (They can't all be Modern Masters.) Happy to be a subscriber & a Patreon contributor to the cause.
