I actually do use Opera GX and it's pretty good. In general I find it faster than firefox. The only downside is don't let the vpn be the selling point because it's not good. Use it if you have your own, otherwise firefox is more secure.
Opera gx is Chinese malware glad you support them
They should have brought back "Horsemanship" for this set 😂
My goodness that is a great idea. Missed opportunity
Damn, now I am disappointed
I love how Prof is slowly losing his mind over the various videos, slowly transitioning from Markov Manor to "Markov's" of Thunder Junction.
I keep feeling sad at how 90% of the box value comes down to 3 or 4 lucky chase cards instead of spread across a bunch of $5+ cards. It's like wotc has been trying to make boosters more like gambling over time with maybe 10% of packs being worth anything.
Buy singles?
Yeah bro I haven’t broke even on a booster box /:
Or maybe cardboard just shouldn't be this expensive in the first place.
Compared to yugioh, magic is a blast to open.
WotC doesn’t decide what the value of cards are. That’s entirely the secondary market.
For what it's worth I think MKM's price drop isn't just "The new set is here" and more "The new set is here and also this set was selling poorly"
I mean, are there even any chase cards in MKM? I can't think of any... maybe one or two of the Cases?
@@ryanbarham8464 Delney and Mole God come to mind, but there's definitely a lot less to hunt for
@@KamenRiderCorn Vein Ripper made a big splash in Pioneer so is the most expensive. The surveil lands, Archdruid's charm, new Massacre Girl, Warleader's Call, Leyline are all good value.
@@pneuma08 Sounds like DMU and we´ve seen where the DMU single and box prices landed. I think i should buy some Vein Rippers before he hits 80 Euro.
@@ryanbarham8464 Somewhat expectedly, the chase cards are... the ones that don't bother with any of the set's gimmickry. Vein Ripper is the biggest one, sitting around $25, but, listing all standard treatment cards above $5:
You have Delney, Streetwise Lookout, Undercity Sewers, Leyline of the Guildpact (likely for its applications with Scion of Draco), the new Massacre Girl, Warleader's Call, Underground Mortuary, Archdruid's Charm, Meticulous Archive, Anzrag, Hedge Maze, the new Rakdos, and Shadowy Backstreet.
The most expensive cards that actually are linked into the set's explicit mechanics are Forensic Gadgeteer and Cryptic Coat. Both have applications outside of those mechanics.
The big issue with MKM is that the lower power level is simply a result of just... not really having great mechanics. Like, "Collect Evidence" doesn't have much synergy with anything, Clues are somewhat established but still quite niche, Cloak and Disguise are generally inefficient, and Suspect is just weird.
The set exists as almost a mechanical island.
The real booster here was the serotonin we made along the way.
(For real, thanks for being out gambling proxy)
i really like when there’s commentary on these instead of just music
Yeah but what are you going to say? Oh my another dud!
It's nice, but thats waaaay more editing hours for prof & co
@@Awes0m3n3s5 is it? when he just has to sit there talking with very minimal editing if it all xD
@@occheatsoftthere’s lots of sped up moments and having to make sure audio is clear is a lot of work especially over and hour video
Love that they're even embracing the trolling/gaffs in post (Murders of Thunder Junction).
Truly the best set since Outlaws of Markov Manor.
@@FanOfMostEverything Im still waiting for the Fallout from that set's lore!
Hasbro - "I'm going to make everything premium! So everyone gets premium! And when everything is premium... nothing will be."
If only it were. But the card quality has gone down depending on which continent it's printed on. It's maddening. If you get sealed produced anywhere in the Americas you're going to have a bad time.
Reminds me of Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse when he declares that they will make everything metal - blacker than the blackest black, times infinity.
They were writing a coffee commercial jingle xD
@@krisdaschwab912 DO YOU FOLKS LIKE COFFEE?
Boxes like the last one are the reason i stopped gambling with boxes in Strixhaven and never got back to it
yup. when sets are topheavy in value they're actually pretty awful to buy boxes of. problem is a lot of the time those ARE the cards you want lol so pay 100-140 to maybe get that card and a ton others? or pay 20-100 to definitely get 1 card?...
this is especially painful when you have cards like sheoldred the apocalypse in a set -.- brutal.
I just avoid buying anything generally until somethings been reprinted into the ground or prices tank for whatever reason
A pleasure to see another episode of of 'buy the singles" :)
I got so excited when you said an OTJ box was $95 and now I’m devastated 😭
Just wait until MH3 when everything else won't be selling for high prices
Friends: Why did you open so many packs!?
Inner 8 year old me: Cowboye?
Prof's LGS is never gonna run out of business with such a patron!
Do you know what lgs he goes to?
Set boosters were $130. Draft boosters were $110. Set boosters cost more because they had the potential for more cards in the rare/mythic rarities. WotC smashed those together, raising the value in relation to draft boosters, but lowering it compared to set boosters..... and started charging $10 MORE for it....
I didn't realize Simulacrum Synthesizer was worth so much 0.0' I pulled one in my prerelease packs, but just put it in a box because I don't have a blue artifact deck. I just found it and put it in a sleeve
Same here, pulled it and thought without artifact deck this ist pretty meh, go into a binder :D
I pulled 2 and somehow missed the value thanks prof
I pulled one in my pre release kit and after winning some games with it in my deck for the event, I threw it in my liberty prime deck.
It's going to the moon because of a weird combination of speculation and a legacy/vintage tournament results lol.
to be fair on prerelease night, it was less than $10
The normal border, basic lands in this set actually have really nice art. I didn't think I liked them at first, but now I do 😂
wizzards: we need something new and inovative!
an employee: how bout alot of set symbols for ONE set?
wizzards: thats great! btw your fired.
The multiple bonus sheets definitely help make it easier to 'win' the booster box game given how they pump up the rarity of cards even further. A pain for folks trying to get their hands on a set of Card X but better than normal sets on the chance of hitting a few bombs in a box.
They really outdone themselves on OTJ. You open packs called outlaws of thunder junction, you hope to pull cards from one of the mini sets baked into it instead of OTJ cards 😂
I genuinely love hearing the prof just talk. please more of just prof talking while he opens packs.
Just had this thought and this is the best place to write it. To those of you complaining about legendary creatures in cowboy hats, think about them as tourists. When you go somewhere cool, you buy something that you can take back home with you. If you’re visiting thunder junction, why not take home a cowboy hat! It reminds you of the time you spent there. Anyway here’s wonderwhal
Was wondering why there wasn't a hat equipment like detective hat for this set lol. We only got gold pan instead...
Or like a spurs equipment, it could let a creature saddle for a bigger number haha
That foil full art concealed courtyard goes pretty hard Professor. Would love to see your signature on it. 🥺
NGL I kinda cheered when the price total finally made it to above $140 on your pack open. Don't know why.
OMG! This is the first one of these videos, that I’ve seen, where you not only succeeded at winning once, but twice! Incredible! Well Done!
Prof continuing to troll WotC with “Markov Manor” well after the moment has passed is so savage
Thank you for this booster box game! I love this set so this is a nice way to feel like I'm opening boxes without the financial cost. Here's to hoping OTJ falls to $90 too
This is just the thing to listen to as I work and wait for the Behind the Campus video!
42:18 That is totally a song you would hear in a zorno XD
Just opened a Bundle, pulled Mana Drain and Simulacrum Synthesizer. I was happy :)
Please prof, we love hearing you talk during the unboxing. Way bettter (and probably way more effort) than just music. It's funny hearing you guess and tell stories.
In a prize pack for my prerelease I opened a Simulacrum Synthesizer and a Mindbreak Trap. That was pretty cool!
Imagining how this would’ve gone if the from the vault cards were their own aftermath set 😅
Makes me realize how lucky I got with my prerelease bundle having a terror of the peaks as my stamped and getting a wanted poster variant of Vraska
It's been some time since the last time we saw so many boxes opened
I loved this set, I always find I get crazy pulls from bundles rather than booster boxes 😂
Future Cha Cha is such a bop it always helps me enjoy jamming out to the booster box game.
Thanks for still doing these, Prof!
Nice music choices in this episode and great work as usual
Just opened a bundle box like an hour before this video was released. Got myself a simulacrum synthesizer and the new Jace. Pretty good bundle box all around.
Thank you so much for this informative video. You explained so well and I am no longer confused.
Good luck on the booster box game!
Hell yeah, he did this on the birthday! And it's for one of my favorite sets!
Idk why, but when I see Tinybones, for some reason I see him running through a mineshaft instead of over a piano.
I'mma definitely say that despite the hit rates, my experiences here were pretty lackluster. Fun set, but I was somehow hitting higher on MKM than this.
they have similar value distributions weirdly enough
I got a full art Jace Reawakened form my first pack (not even a box, just one of two that I bought from my LGS for fun), I was so hyped it was sick
Box 3 is usually how my box breaks go, which is why I don’t buy boxes anymore. I’ll grab a few packs to have fun opening, but then it’s singles for me after that.
My favorite part about opera is how I used them nonstop in the mid 00s and they had a boost feature than made pages load fast.
And its nice to see that company has kept the same feature spiritually alive by boosting profits with predatory loans to third world nations.
Gross sponsor.
honestly astonished that you made it pass box 1.
I am not trying to sound rude, but I really like to watch these videos to fall asleep. They are so relaxing to watch after a rough day, with the calm music and the occasional cash register sound.😅
Oh boy, love me some Booster Box game!
Thank you for the video Professor.
I'm so excited for the Dandan SUP!!
With the change to play boosters which are just draft boosters, it just doesn’t make sense to buy them if you want to crack packs. You are going negative than you would the old set boosters. These are just upcharged draft boosters.
Buy the cheaper bundle if you want to open for fun but I’d honestly just stay away from these unless you plan to draft. In which case they’re pretty fun.
5:34 is a new song in the playlist, I love it
Tinybones right in the first pack, nice lol
edit: TWO OF THEM?!
Murders at Thunder junction was so fuggin clever lol almost spit out my coffee
This is great! Means more of the cards are affordable
this set looks like so much fun!
Soundtracks were 🔥
After watching this video... I'm so happy my box was so good lol
Is it me or these are not Professors' hands that were opening boosters in this video? I don't know, maybe I'm tired or something...
Wish that was the price to get a booster box here in Mexico, here it sells for about $160 to $200 dollars
Im still surprised how much I like the set, I didnt when it was originally announced. And I still feel all cards over 1, something should count towards the score, they do add up.
I cannot even remember the last time the booster box game had a legitimate “win”
Love you professor!
Thanks!
The boxes seem like good value
Murders at Thunder Junction: Wild Caverns of Markov Manor
What's the song that plays through 11:00???
Thanks for always putting content out prof!
Somehow the Big Score cards overshadow the set quite a bit, and the bonus sheet actually designed for the set (i.e. the Crime Newspaper cards) fall so short of expectations, I only had underwhelming stuff in my box (the Mythic Newspaper cards are really rare, and only a few of them are worth anything), while the Big Score cards make a big splash in Standard and other formats (the Synthesiser made it into Legacy, which explains the hefty price). But for drafting, the set is fantastic, much faster and more agile than Markov Manor, the mechanics mesh well, the bombs can really shine
I’ve had a lot of fun at prerelease and draft with this set. It’s definitely given me a better appreciation for the set.
This is the first set in a while i actually thought would get past 1 box
the burn lands are cool
Me and a couple buddy’s each bought a box and pulled great stuff normally when we get a box from a new set it’s pretty average we barely brake even but with outlaws we made out like bandits. Playboosters good?
thanks again
i buy a couple packs every week from my LGS, but my LGS had crazy markups and doesnt discount anything ever. Like a box of thunder junction is 160$
18:14 wow I figured this card would be worth way more I guess standard hasn’t found it yet. I’m running it hard on arena in an izzit deck
What would be a great boosterbox to buy, to have a MtG Draft night?
Is a Jumpstart better then a draft box?
Hit a sword of wealth and power along with the mystic stoneforge in mine, both oko's and mindbreak trap, but missed every card i wanted 😢
i will say the only packs i bought were in a 9 pack bundle... my first pull was also tiny bones :/
so i think i got about 40$+ worth of value after the other packs out of the 40$ bundle.
Man, I'd Pay for a signed Fling
where do you sell the cards for a new box?, is it always for the price shown that you sell them?
Professor, we need those academic deckboxes in Germany! No stores are selling them and i‘m going crazy because i missed the kickstarter and want one 🤯
Lol I also got tiny bones on my first play booster. Honestly I'm surprised the luck I had with my first 5 packs
Absolute fire or dud.
Once again, do you want a _chance_ at fire or do you want to take what you would have spent on a box for a _guarantee_ of stuff you actually _want._
Or spend a quarter of it on prox
Murders of My Bank Account, my favorite set
Say, Prof, what are the bottom cards of the pack? You started the first 6 or so (before i stopped counting) by revealing them all until it looked like there were three cards left, and then sweep away the pile. Now granted, they’re probably not going to be mythics as the last card, but they just ads or could there be more commons in those slots?
Got signed arcane signet🎉🎉
Can you do a review on the upcoming card game "wonders of the first" coming to Kickstarter soon im curious what you think of it and if its worth buying
Birthday in 4 days, bought a box for fun and ended up pulling simulacrum synthesizer 🎉
He's laughing. A draf- play booster box's costing $140 and he's laughing.
Hey Prof got a question about wording on some cards. My question is does the wording " damage to a player" mean that if I attack two opponents and hit with both, that it triggers twice?
"Each time a player would be damaged" is another way to read that
so no, since damage occurs simultaneously
Are you going to do a 3rd season shuffle up and play kickstarter?
What site are these prices based on? I couldn’t find one that matched the pricing in the video
Wow I cant wait to newest set of Magic and hope I pull a card thats been printed years ago so I can make my money back
Bonny Pal should be worth at least $5 lol
Are you complaining about low costs!?
@@zealouslyonpsychedelics it’s the most powerful card in the set, it should be worth more. In fact I’m going to go pick up 10 play sets right now for $10 lol.
Hey Prof, are you going to use that Obeka?😆
One question. Are these packs purchased by the business? If so, do you use the cards that are bought this way in your personal decks? I heard that you said you buy it from the LGS. But it was an interesting thought I had.
Dang my luck is bad, you seem to be quite lucky on this game! My 2 boxes were worse than your last!
Its fun opening packs but every one of my boxes i always never get the pulls I want but get the cards everyone else wants :( not a single mana drain but i got 4 foil okos lol
Lets get that simulacrum!
