thats dnot how this is going to work, this and the other video game set seems to have been the lowest collector box print. 6 months from now thjis set will go up in price.... people will eventually look for the serialized cards and how much the distro sells boxes to the distro....they are 300 now and they are probably losing money at that price as it was suppose to be sold at 350-400
which one becomes more valuable than the next? Its going to be limited print so they will go up in price. Thats why I play commons only but not pauper, Free the cards play whatever you can make.
I don't think anyone said "why" because we've already seen like 20 collabs we already know why... it's because it makes then money. Mtg is on the road to being fortnite in terms of skins and collaboration.

Im pretty happy with buying the singular box I got.

Will I buy another... HELL NO! Probably going to buy singles of whatever I need for the Ezio commander deck.
Things were better when they were still doing 3 set blocks. 2011-2016 was prime, return to rav, Theros, tarkir, BFZ, shadows over innistrad. When they were doing the 3 set structure they had more time to fine tune the card design, lore etc. Now there’s just so little time between each release, every 2 or 3 months. There was a solid 7 months between Tarkir, the last 3-set block, and bfz. And while there was 3 months between gatewatch and the first half of SOI, I’d argue that SOI was sort of just a continuation of the BFZ block. Since then these sets just come too fast fr

Don't expect much from the next few sets. We're due for a drought, as far as set quality is concerned. There's some weird ideas about good cards vs bad cards within Wizards of the Coast R&D, and how many each set gets and when... usually has to do with how much product is sold.
It's belgium print. The foiling is gorgeous. I know sometimes the pulls aren't great. The true blessing is that you can afford to do this for fun. I'm happy for the two cases I'll open regardless. On the serial: playing a historic figure I think has a draw.
Hey Charlie If you can get your hands on it you should open a box or 3 of Ravnica Remastered. You would love that set and it’s not too old plus there’s lots of serialized cards
I was excited for this set... at least for one box lol. Got everything I needed in the booster luckily! 5 color assassins is something I really think ill have fun with in commander. Not as interested in Bloomborrow, but to each thier own.
The only thing I wished could be better with the set (other than the set being a "epilouge" set) is if Shay (Patrick) Cormac had gotten a Rare or Mythic instead of an uncommon. Hes my fav assassin and I wish he was better. Still pretty strong, but not what I was hoping for lol.
The most annoying part is that the few cards that i want from the set are the ones that keep the price up. Like i want temporal trespass, cover of darkness and conspiracy reprints, the sword reprints are also good, but of course those are the ones that dont crash completely.
Honestly, I think a lot of the assassin's creed set has good designs, and some of the mechanics on the cards are solid gameplay interpretations that hit the flavor of the decks (Altair, Bayek & the Bird, Shao Jun, the Haystack and Edward Kenway are great examples.) However.... I also just am not sure the set was needed, and especially not in only small boosters, no draft boxes, no commander decks. Also, Side note. Does anyone else sometimes feel like the immediate checking out of prices can completely ruin ANY card openings? I'm getting the cards because I think they are cool, not because I have some completely unfounced belief that I'll break even for some reason. Like, In theory, the only reason people SHOULD break even every set, is if all the new cards are way stronger than baseline, and then if they are doing that, it's bad for the format.
I got lucky and got the full art Ezio for my commander deck (bought a normal box, not collector's. I dont have the money for that lol.). Looks cool and I can build the only interesting thing about the set... 5 color Assassins!
I love the ac set the cards are practically worthless lol. I traded an Altair for like eight cards including a showcase Alexios (after seeing Mr. Drew use it in the ac box battle I added it to my Mathas, Fiend Seeker commander deck) and a showcase Shay Cormac (also great for the Mathas deck). Please keep the mtg vids running!
Every generation should experience a Fallen Empires Magic The Gathering experience. You'd leave the store depressed that it was all you could afford with your allowance. Then you'd open your packs and decide 1 pack of Mirage was a better purchase. I honestly can't believe people want a sealed box of Fallen Empires as a collectable.
I bought 15 packs and got 90% of the set including showcase Ezio and Kenway and called it good there. A bit sad the set sucked because I made a great deck around Ezio, but most of the cards are non-AC because the set is so small
I don't understand how he can think a set is bad? Because the cards aren't good so they sell poorly? Some sets have to be bad or powercreep happens which is a lot worse. Not every set can be better than the last or perfectly balanced
Easily one of the worsw crossover sets they have done. So few cards are good for modern or commander. Its mostly just the reprinta that have any value.
Honestly, the set is getting a lot of hate but I'm a new Mtg player and this set made me buy my first commander deck. Idc how bad it is tbh I just like the assassin mechanic.
Its just a collab to drop a bunch of potential commanders from a popular game. Has a low print run and only 100 card set. Building ezio with a bunch of em as a salute to a game i enjoyed but value is gonna be abysmal.
agree it's a kinda bad set but i'm still going to make a few edh decks from it also i cant see this set ever getting reprinted so could turn out ok in the long run
I opened 1 collector booster box and 3 set booster boxes and didn't get a single Altair Bin la Ahad card. This man pulled 2 from the same pack. I'm done.
Dude that’s because you started by opening the premier high dollar MH3, one of the best sets or lines of sets in Magic History. You’re in for a huge let down if you ever start opening regular Standard sets.
They physically cannot print this little variation of cards with the amount of cards they want to sell. They want to sell so many packs, but the packs will never ever be varied enough for the players because there’s not enough types of cards. They have to have 135 cardsminimum
Nobody "hates this set" the IP just isn't as big for something like this and the objective of a set like this is to get people that are scrictly into Assassin's Creed, to try MTG. It's for new players it doesn't make it a bad set because you're pulling $1 cards lmao
Yeaaaa. This set is a pass. Bought a few borderless Sword of feast and famines, because they will probably go back up after awhile, unless.. You know, WOTC prints them in the next set, or the set after, or maybe every set.
bought 2 boxes, accidently sold non foil ezio thinking ezio brash novice is the same. to shy to buy it back after selling it for store credit. just gonna...either get it on tcg, amazon or get another box in 2 weeks
Ah, yes, the franchise that was a literal lie and deception from the very beginning and has been garbage for a long time not being good when combined with Hasbro? Who would have thought?
Bro I've opened 4 collector boxes of MH3 and still haven't got a single ulamog. I'd ask if you wanted to trade me something for one, but you've already got every card lol. Can I get a regular sh*tty ulamog from ya?
Part of becoming a Magic player is learning to hate UB sets and what they're doing to the game. Charlie is ahead of the curve, even if it's only because the value here is abysmal.

But the notion of attending a sanctioned, competitive event and seeing characters from an external IP is just fundamentally unpalatable to me.
I think that UB only helps mtg as a whole, but what they should be doing is making less UB sets and whatever cards end of beinv used, i.e. one ring, orcish bowmasters, etc, should be reprinted as different cards in UW like what happened to chun li. Chun li got reprinted as a card with an exact stat line and text box and mana cost, but with a different name, so even when chun li wasn't allowed, the other card was. Sorry i forgot the name
Lol, pick this up 6 months later at a 59% discount-- in true Assassin's Creed fashion.
