For Father’s Day my wife got me unsanctioned. I had wanted it but I wouldn’t get it for myself since it was rather expensive. She wanted me to have it and it means a lot.

The most surprising gift that I received was my first Magic: The Gathering deck. A Tempest deck. My father gave it to me on a Sunday morning, soon after my best friend tragically died. I did not appreciate the gesture back then. I was young. But it was the perfect gift. the perfect way for me to start socializing again, making friends and learning that we must keep moving forward, no matter what.
Thanks, now I'm sitting here crying, I've had a good number of friends pass away and this made my day
When a core friend and player passed on so did his card collection. When we visited his family out of state his brother surprised us with 5 decks he had been constructing over the holidays. We play these decks on occasion to have him at the table and get a feel for what he was plotting against us.😊😎
jason walsh Rest In Peace 🙏🏼
I was trading cards with someone at my LGS a year or so ago, and when we were done he pulled a Rashmi, Eternities Crafter out of the binder and handed it to me and said that since I was building a Rashmi deck I'd probably need one. That card wasn't a part of our trade, he just gave it to me and never asked for anything in return.
It was such a small moment but it took me by surprise, we had only interacted once or twice prior to that day, we'd played maybe a game of commander and talked at the counter maybe once, but that's it. My Rashmi deck is one of my favorites, and I've had countless opportunities to get a foil/prerelease Rashmi, but that copy is special.
It’s these moments I miss most about our community.
Jared Sardella Yea, we need good people like that in the MTG in the community, it’s easy to be an asshole when playing or trading but if you can bring yourself to be helpful that can make all the difference to someone who plays regularly or someone just picking up the game
Hell yeah man! Thats exactly why I play paper only bro.
The most surprising "gift" I have ever received was in one of the lowest times of my life.
I was really hit by depression and went to the supermarket to buy the limited amount of things I could afford with what money I could - as I was not able to work at the time.
As I got to the counter I was zapped through in rapid time and noticed the staff at the supermarket smiling at me knowingly. Feeling a little bewildered as I probably looked pretty awful I didn't notice them packing my items next to some other bags.
When I went to pay, they shook their head and said that a store manager had seen me walking around and bought the bags already packed and would buy what I bought to the counter for me.
I was utterly floored how a complete stranger could see just how bad things were and the sheer act of kindness - I think it was the first step out of that spiral.
Sometimes humanity can be wonderful.
Hope you are in a better place now
@@watapon3415 You know you normally say that about people who died
PlayWith Domination he could of died just now.
bullshit
@@watapon3415 Much better. Though, I'm outside of my home country during a world of Coronavirus and missing my family.
Thankfully one of the few positives of experiencing severe depression is knowing the signs of it's potential and being able to avoid repeat another round.
So far at least!
My grandfather gave me an Iron Maiden tour t-shirt, literally off his back, when I told him how cool I thought it was. He went home without a shirt that day. I'll never forget it, I miss him.
Thanks, Prof!
About 3 years ago, my wife casually asked me what my favorite basic land art was. Me not being too bright, told her the Swamp from Unglued by Mark Zig. It was full art, beautiful, and just unique to me at the time. That Christmas she presented me with a 3 foot canvas of that art that she painted herself, and I was, and still am blown away by that gift.
A week after my grandmother passed away I was sitting at home when a package arrived at my door. Upon opening it, I saw that it was a Nintendo switch. There was a letter inside the box with my grandmother's writing, it said "Honey, I know that you'll be sad when I'm gone but I want you to be able to smile and stay happy. Our last conversation you had brought up that you had been saving up for this and I want you to put that money towards your moving fund. -Love Ma" It truly broke my heart and it took a while before I could even take it out of the box. Every time I pick it up to this day I think of her and think of how she would have loved to play.
The most suprising gift I ever recieved was the Secret Lair: Theros Stargazing. Even more suprising was waiting over 4 months just to see it shipped.
Lol I got ONE collector booster with mine. Not a single rare over 50 cents in that pack. Thanks for the apology wizards
@@MakutaNazo Would you still be complaining if that pack had a $100 card?
@@Tryo707 nothing in that set is valued over 100. Just a bunch of bulk stock that wizards couldn't get rid of...edit before foil uRoS BoX tOpPeR...
@@Tryo707 yeah but one pack of fancy standard is like, bare minimum in terms of apology, because you can't guarantee value in that pacj
@@MakutaNazo not only that, we bought secret lairs (singles) so what kind of a gift is a booster pack (random contents) not a thoughtful apology imo
Most surprising gift: a collector's edition of The Silmarillion.
That’s very cool! I love that book.
I’m new to Magic and have thoroughly enjoyed your videos! I’ve put off learning Magic for so long because it felt so overwhelming - your content has really helped!
My favorite gift was the last one my grandma gave me, it was a hug and blessing a few hours earlier before she died, that always makes me feel safe and happier no matter how was my present
When I was playing a D&D game with my playgroup, one of the members built us all a commander deck that was based around our D&D characters.
That is the coolest thing. I would never have thought of that.
Honestly, I never comment on videos. But this idea of you Prof., to let us share those positive, warming memories/stories instead of "I want"..what a nice move. Some very warming comments, lighting up my mood and hopefully inspiring to many to just be kind to one another and share. Keep up the work. You do great service to the community, worldwide.
The biggest life affecting gift I ever received was a Tandy Color Computer 4 when I was in second grade. It included a book on programs you could write for color effects and other nifty basic code. That sparked my imagination and passion, and to this day, I work, live, and love computers. Thanks dad! I've passed it on to my children, who both learn and grow with their own computers.
I was going through a very rough period, and then one of my friends just sent me a postcard saying "I'm thinking of you. Hope everything will be well soon." It wasn't very valuable money-wise, but emotionally, the feeling that your friends are there for you is the best gift ever.
As much as I wish I had an amazing and heartfelt story like the others I’ve read, I only have this. For my 18th birthday, my mom asked me a few months prior what I wanted. Jokingly, I said, “Get me a shirt with my face on it.” Well my birthday came, and my first birthday gift as an adult of the world was a tshirt entirely filled out with a picture of my face, and to this day I have no regrets.
When we first dating my wife painted a little picture of a sail boat and I hung it on the fridge as a half joke, but the painting stayed on the fridge through several moves including a few interstate (USA) moves. One day our toddler son ran a muck and pulled everything off the fridge, my wife cleaned up the mess and i assumed threw away the painting. It really bummed me out that the painting was gone. But she surprised me and had it framed and gave it to me on my birthday several months later. Was the most unexpected gift i have ever gotten
Best gift i can recall i would say recently for fathers day the family made breakfast and we played cards and board games most of the weekend. Felt really relaxed going back to work that Monday.
Do me solid? Check out the new episode of Untitled Magic: The Gathering podcast that I posted over the holiday weekend: ruclips.net/video/W_lBN1RzKHw/видео.html
I got the same stuffed animal I had gotten the previous year from the same person that was pretty surprising
Sure
I'll trade you, you keep making the content and i'll keep watching!
This was a great one too!
On it ;) .. Checked, had already watched it, loved the Augusteen badness };) lol
I'm a doctor, I was once invited to a really humble house in christmas while I was providing community service on a remote town. They gifted me one of their new dishes straight out of the box with food to take home, Ilived alone back then.. I still treasure that dish
When eldraine came out, for my brithday my friend decided to go all out for me, 1 booster box, 3 collecters packs, and 1 full art royal scions (as it was my favorite card, still is one of my top 3) and i broke down in tears thanking them, still my best friend to this day
I just wanted to say as well, i love all that you do Professor, Keep up the amazing work
Hi, prof! First of all... I really wanna thank you for all the content that make. Magic or non magic related. Seriously. You're an incredible, lovable and commited person. I'm from argentina but I hope someday we can meet in a convention or something and give you a big hug. Now, the best gift I had received were the very first mtg cards from a friend of mine. He told me about magic a couple of times and one day I went to his home and he made me a boros aggro deck so I could learn with very simple mechanics and almost instantly fell in love with this world. So, obviously, if I get the box I'll be cracking packs with him and remembering that day one. No matter what happens, many thanks prof. Un abrazo!
The most surprising “gift” I was given was when my girlfriend gave me a alternate art of a cat card that looked just like my cat that had passed away shortly before the gift, I couldn’t believe it and love using it on the field to show my love for my cat even now.
The most surprising gift was when my friends threw a surprise party for me with a black forest cake from the Regent Bakery, which is the same cake type from the same place that Valve had purchased to model it for the Portal video game. The cake was not a lie. The cake was delicious.
btw loved your joint video with team APS. definitely captured my attention. As for the most surprising gift, was a simple ring my dad made out of a pipe when he was a teenager. The thought of passing things down from youth, like teaching my nephew how to play Yugioh is something his ring inspired. Your videos have made me a brand new fan of magic. Thank you
Love your content, one very surprising gift, was a handwritten cookbook from my mom with all my favourite recipies when I moved out.
The most surprising gift I’ve ever received was a magician’s wand kit for christmas. It was the only gift under the tree, me and my brother were confused but my mom came and said let me show you a magic trick she placed a blanket on us and said some “magic words” and when she took off the blanket lots of gift magically appeared. We were like 8 years old and we were so amazed. That was a christmas we’ll never forget.
The most surprising gift i've ever gotten was when my friend showed up for my birthday during quarantine this year and brought be a 6 pack of Guinness and blasted Queens "Best Friend" from his car on the other side of the street. He yelled out from his car he sanitized everything and we cracked a beer together while still social distancing.
Thank you for all of the handwork to put into educating and entertaining us.
One of the most surprising gifts I've had happened today; we had just finished playing EDH for the first time since lockdown, and we drooling over cards and pack when I spotted a Guildpact booster...I love old packs and cards...and my mate - knowing this - bought it for me. Lovely gesture!
When I was around 7 or 8, my grandma went against the wishes of my mom and bought me a Nintendo 64 DK Edition. It was the biggest surprise and showed that my grandma really was listening to all the ridiculous stories I was telling her. I still remember the excitement I had and the anger my mom had when she gave it to me. I still have the console and think about her any time I boot it up.
The best gift I’ve ever been “given” was when my mom, who had an immunocompromised system, quit smoking for me on my 18th birthday. Cold turkey, because she knew I was adamant that she quit someday. I think I also got Metroid Prime 2 that year, so that was pretty neat too.
remember when cracking temples actually added value to your booster box
I know it’s too late for the draw but I love the channel and wanted to share the most surprising gift I’ve ever received:
While I was in college I got a job working with international students to help them with their English skills as well as helping them to feel welcome and at home here in the US. A good friend of mine invited me to lunch one day. At lunch she told me that her mother really believes in me and wants to support my future and decided to pay my tuition cost for the Teaching English as a Foreign Language course at my university ($1200!!!!). I was so humbled and grateful. I was floored by the generosity of my friend and her mother and to this day I still teach English online, I lived in Spain for two years teaching with their government, and even met my wife through teaching English education. So that gift literally changed the course of my future in huge, unimaginable ways!
Thanks for reading and keep up the amazing work professor!!
"I'm an unpredictable wildcard who's difficult to work with"
I mean if I were WotC trying to increase my profits by any means necessary, I too would be angry at a RUclips personality who speaks the truth about my awful business practices that are destroying the very game we all love. Unironic props to you for refusing to speak anything but truth, professor!
Your profile picture makes the comment even better.. :D
But you're absolutely right.. So many games are ruined by greed these days and it's so good that there are people talking about the issues and making people aware of it.
Do you think WotC was greedy 5 years ago? 10 years ago?
2 years ago?
Record sales for 10 years in a row is quite a feat for a company that's _destroying_ the game
Tbh, he isn't unpredictable. If the product is bad the review will be bad. That's all. Truth isn't unpredictable, but it's clearly isn't what our corporate overlords wrote on the paper for us to say.
@@jayceh that's success as a company, not success as a game. Given the sheer number of products directed at whales as well as the pricing out of needed game pieces for only those whales, WotC is trying to gain as much money as possible while leaving those who can't afford needed pieces such as Fetchlands for certain formats with no way to play the game properly.
I would describe that as destroying the game, in a sense
@@teglasiadam6258 seems pretty reasonable to me! If a product is bad, point out the ways in which it could be improved, basic stuff.
My favorite gift was when I was in Sangin, Afghanistan and I got a surprise gift from students from an elementary school that I didn’t know, but someone gave my name to them. They all wrote me a letter with some of the greatest messages and funny stories with hilarious drawings. It was a tough place where I was, and these letters were amazing to read.
Hey Professor, always fun watching your booster box game videos! I always enjoy watching your videos and find them witty and educational. The greatest gift that I ever received was from my wife. For Christmas she bought me an expropriate because my son told her I needed it for my Nekusar deck. Now I do t know that I actually needed it, but because our son told her and she doesn't play magic, she looked up the card and asked some friends of ours to see if it really was a good card. The fact that she took the time to do that without ever playing or wanting to play was awesome. Keep up the fun videos and good luck to all those that are hoping to win!
Having my post featured in your video is one of the best gifts I've gotten! In all seriousness this year I got a great gift for my birthday. The world had just shut down everything due to Covid and my birthday ticked over, not many people remembered it because (understandably enough) everyone had a lot on their plates. My girlfriend wouldn't let that stand and we just went out for a walk. Spent the whole day together and bought some take out food as a gift. It meant a lot to me and it helped me through a rough time. It's the best gift I've ever gotten.
The most surprising gift someone gave me is a tombstone for my father, when I couldn’t afford one myself. My neighbour paid for my father’s tombstone after knowing us just one year (when he moved here) and this still brings a tear to my eye.
My most surprising “gift” was two years ago I was going on a service trip to Costa Rica. The city we were leaving from is Miami and we were staying in my Aunt’s apartment for the two nights before I left. My Aunt asked us what we were planning on doing and me as a huge baseball fan, asked if my mother wanted to go to a Marlins game (even though I am a Yankees fan born and raised in NY). My aunt informed us that she was really good friends with one of the owners and in five minutes she had gotten my mother and I front row tickets! I was so excited. We got to the game and the tickets came with all these amenities and it was awesome. I was watching batting practice and then this guy came down and introduced himself as my Aunt’s friend. He said come take a walk with me and I had no idea where we were going. He took me and my mother up an elevator and we walked down a long hallway to this huge set of glass double doors. He opens them and inside there is a giant bald dude talking to someone. My aunt’s friend interrupts and says “hey Derek, someone is here to meet you.” And my jaw dropped. Standing before me was my hero, Derek Jeter. I was speechless. I was literally meeting my hero and I shook his hand and talked with him for like 5 minutes. It was one of the most amazing and definitely the most surprising gift I have ever received.
The most surprising gift I ever received was a little pw80 dirt bike when I was a kid. The memories I had with my mom on that thing will never be forgotten!
Another else ever wish that real life had this editing when you opened packs? Like that the dollar value showed up or you got the money sound effect? It's so satisfying!
Also, whenever I am resisting the urge to buy a bunch of packs, these videos help persuade me to just go buy the singles.
The best gift I’ve ever received was from my girlfriend a couple years ago for Christmas. She got me a Nintendo 64 with several games. It was awesome!
"I'm an unpredictable wild card who is difficult to work with!"
I feel like he got this in a nasty email from WOTC after blasting their fetch land secret lair.
Probably more like one of the third party sponsors, since he's so strict about what he will say for money. i.e You pay him to show the thing, not give good review
Him being unpredictable is part of the charm I thought
...Which was revealed on his channel. xD
@@benhensley3621 I guess if you can review shite then you might as well do it properly
When i started to play magic, my friends were really receptive to help me and hear me out about all my questionning. This is the hardest game in the world, even if they didn't give me any material gift, they gave me their time and that is one of the best gift i ever had. The time of a friend is priceless.
The most surprising gift someone gave me was my first magic deck. A gateway deck into the game a still enjoy with my friends 18 years later.
The most surprising gift I received was a big green wurm creature from my older cousin. I was probably 10 at the time. It's not important but I can't remember/find the card, and I think it was lost or destroyed. What is important is that it got me into MTG. 10 years later my cousin was in a tragic car accident, and he is still recovering from a brain injury. I have now returned the favor and I buy a booster box of the latest set every-time I see him (once a year). He keeps the singles but I keep the experience of still getting to play with him.
When I was around 7 and my brother was 6 he managed to make his own ebay account, mail somebody cash in an envelope and buy me and Charizard card because we both thought they were cool. My parents were probably the most surprised that he had figured out how to do that.
One of my favorite gifts that I remember getting was a T-Shirt from my sister with my favorite band on it. A simple gift but one that I still wear to this day.
I always enjoy watching these box openings.
One of the best gifts I got as a child that sticks in my memory: was going to this one Japanese company store that sold the old school transformers and being told to pick anyone I wanted. Those original transformers where the best "action" figures I've ever owned.
I was feeling a bit left out at college bc all my friends would use longboards to get around and I didn’t have one. For my birthday a bunch of ppl chipped in to get me one.
For me the best "Gift" I've been given was a tiny little squeak ball of a Kitten. Happened to ask a friend to pick me up a few things on their way home, and when they arrived, was presented with an orange tabby the size of my palm. 6 years later and still the most precious thing to me.
I love opening boosters and watching people do it too. Always gets me watching!
My favorite gift is still the ring my boyfriend gave me when he proposed! We were freezing to death in kimonos in a Japanese park on New Years, I can never forget!
Best gift would have to be my wife, after years of resisting MTG, finally sitting down and letting me teach her how to play!
1v1 Commander games helped get us through quarantine!
I'm glad these videos exist. There are some cool cards in m21 i mostly only play commander so there's a lot of cards here I can find value in for future decks
Thanks for doing these videos professor! My most unexpected gift was of a copy of Kaalia of the Vast from a friend back in the early days of commander products. It was a gateway trap however, and cursed me to a life time of brewing and collecting!
When my parents surprised me with tickets to see George Carlin as month early birthday present. They hated him but knew I loved him. I got to sit third row center and it was amazing.
The most surprising gift I ever received was when a friend of me went to a concert to which I couldn't go and brought back a t-shirt of the band. Every time the washing machine finishes it is the first thing i'll pull out and wear.
The most surprising gift I've ever received was a mini-fridge. I didn't really need one, and it wasn't Christmas or anything, but they sent me a mini-fridge, and I, to my own surprise, use it daily.
The most surprising gift I’ve ever gotten was a “cold sore.” Thanks, whatever your name is!
As silly as it sounds: The best gift I received ever was when my wife told me she was pregnant with our daughter - pretty much every dread, dream, nightmare, joy, horror, bliss and many other emotions came together all at once. Looking forward to her 5th birthday in litterally 5 weeks time - and hope that i make her proud in the future!
When I was a kid (about 8 years old), my father gave me a Nintendo Wii for my good califications at school. It was my first electronic device, and the start of my gaming experience!
One of the most surprising gifts I've ever gotten has been when I got two planeswalker decks for my birthday. It was 2 Gideon decks and 2 Jace decks. I opened them anyway for the boosters. :)
The most surprising gift I have been given was a dirt bike for Christmas when I was a younger kid. It was really fun to ride on around trails and big yards!
The year I came out to most of my friends, a friend gifted me some old clothes that were validating for me \^^/ it was awesome and I love them a lot for it
Best gift I ever got was when I was 7 and my grandmother bought me a Dragonball Z VHS tape.
And somehow she knew to get me the best possible one , where Goku transforms into a super Saiyan for the first time
Most surprising thing for me was one of my first times at my LGS, on dog the guys there sat down with me and helped me go through my first deck and find what could be better, and then he gave me a lot of the cards I needed for it. Still have that deck today.
Always enjoy the booster box game videos. Please keep making them
While I cannot think of the best gift I've ever been given, I can definitely think of my favorite prerelease.
So far, I've kept all of my prerelease promos; except for one. I fell out of Magic for a while in college, but the set that got me back in was Eldritch Moon (mainly for Ultich, the Werewolf commander).
I drove up to my college town one weekend in the summer so I could prerelease with a friend. The only problem I had was that I did NOT know how to play limited, and so I floundered during deck construction. I hastily put some cards and lands together and sat down for game 1.
I lost badly. Fortunately, my opponent, David, was super cool. He sat with me and helped me build an actually good deck.
After the prerelease, I was so grateful to David that I gave him my prerelease promo: Mirrorwing Dragon. Best prerelease I've been to yet.
Last time I was this early, Wizards was still printing in white border.
My most astonishing gift was from my parents one Christmas. I knew they were struggling a little and I wasn’t expecting much as a good kid should. Then they turned around and brought out this laptop that I had been asking for for a while. I really appreciated it so much and it definitely surprised me to see that they would do something like that in the situation they were in.
MTG-related: when we were together for a few months my fiancée was curious about Magic and, after a quick look, not only wanted to play mono green stompy but also began with Commander.
The greatest gift someone gave me was hope. Hope that I didn’t have when I was spiraling downward. Thanks to that person for being there for me, I can be there for others.
The most amazing gift that I received was a Gameboy sp when I was a kid with the game of megaman Zero, but my birthday is the 27 of june so I used part of my gift to buy a pre-release of core set 2021 because I like a lot MTG so I can say that pre-release is a great birthday gift hehe
Megaman Zero is the best!
Sp was so awesome. Still see its influence on the 3ds
@@NSixtyFour SP was awesome I love it I have a gameboy micro but my favorite still being sp
@@darkzero3 I know xD
One of the most surprising gifts was in high school when I received tickets to the Chicago Symphony. I was studying to go into music in college and it was the first time I'd been able to go. Super great gift.
Love your vids. Keep the good work. The best gift that I got was probably my first commander deck.
One of my most surprising gifts was on my 15th birthday my dad managed to save enough money for me to get a nintendo switch. This was amazing because we aren't the most well off people to put it lightly so I was so thankful.
I've always wanted to get into magic and I think this would be a great opportunity
The most surprising gift was in July, 2020 when Tolarian Community College gave me a prerelease and booster box for my birthday on the 25th =D *fingers crossed*
My dad got me a window AC unit for my birthday a year ago, and that was just delightful.

Most surprising gift I've received:...hmmm
I suppose you can call it a gift, though it would be the surprise birthday party my wife threw for me a few years ago. I had never had one and she took it upon herself to arrange everything and keep it 100% from me until I pulled into our driveway and was quote confused. It was an awesome evening for everyone involved, especially for me and it has gone down in my memories as one of our favorite events together.
Thanks for a great channel and solidly, honest reviews!
The most surprising gift I’ve ever been given was when my best friend bought me a Yavimaya Hollow- the day after I ordered one for myself😅
The most surprising gift I've ever gotten was from my fiance. She gave me a Pokemon N64 last year! And it was the Japanese version! I recently got her into MTG and she's actually the one who told me to post this comment haha She really wants that booster box ;) Edit: Also just want to say thanks for all the videos! My household watches them pretty frequently.
Amazing as always. These new cards are beautiful
Working at Lowes I’ve met a lot of wonderful people, but one customer in particular really made my day. I had a call out in the garden center and was all alone unloading pallets in mulch into peoples trucks and trailers for hours. We’re not allowed to accept tips so a customer asked me what my favorite food was. I told him pizza just as something quick and then easy so we could get the line moving so I might possibly be able to get away for a minute. 45 minutes later the guy pulls back up with a whole pie and just gives it to me no questions asked thanked me for the work I was doing and drove off. There was a $20 bill lodged in the corner of the box as well. I see him from time to time at the store and I still thank him to this day. Sorry if the story was a little long.
For MTG specifically: Within my playgroup, everyone knows my favorite planeswalker is Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas since it's tied with Mirrodin Besieged. I've sold my initial copy back in 2012 and haven't gotten a new copy since. Until years later, one of my closest friends within the playgroup gifted me a foil copy of that card for my birthday. To me, that card holds an enormous amount of sentimental value than what it's worth. To this day, it's still in its sleeve and framed on my bedroom wall. If my friend (who gifted me this card) is reading this, thanks bro.
My favorite legendary creature was and always will be Chandler
The most surprising gift was definitely my fiancée giving me a Wrenn and Six single for my birthday birthday. (The reason why this was surprising was because even though she supports my hobbies, she has never been to excited about me playing with cards)
Most surprising gift. Flowers on the hood of my vehicle one morning. As a Fella I'm not used to receiving flowers, yet I enjoy them very much. Good start to the day for certain.
Best gift I ever got was a complete Commander deck from a friend hundreds of miles away - Thantis spider tribal! I still have the deck to this day and it's a favorite!
My most surprising gift was the "Community"''s dvd from one of my homie
When I was a kid, i was constantly asking for my parents to get a dog. Everyone else in my family agreed, except for 1 person. After i came back from a small mini-camp-thing, the first thing i saw when i walked in the door was a tiny excited puppy. I lost my mind, and that dog has continued loving us to this day.
Most surprising gift that left an impact was when I was a kid, one of my friends moved away and gave me all of their cards. While they weren't worth much then or now, at the time it was really amazing since I didn't have many cards -- I still have them all today.
I didn't watch your previous booster box game but that was fun and I will ceetainly be going back to watch the previous! I was actually suprised you only got to 3 and was rooting for a big pull in that last pack :')
One of the best gifts I've gotten was from my parents (who know little-nothing about magic) who a few years ago bought me 1 booster pack. It was an iconic masters one and I actually pulled a necropotence from it which was pretty cool!
The best gift I've ever gotten was a set of the Snapcaster Mage cards. My fiancé encouraged me to start playing MTG during lockdown but his deck was stronger than mine. He found the Snapcaster Mage which would give my deck the push it needed, but I didn't have the money to spend (each of those cards is $40!) He really wanted me to keep playing and wanted me to keep enjoying the game, so he bought them for me. And yes, they have helped me win >:)
When I was a preteen, my grandparents bought me an incredibly long, deluxe volume of an obscure manga. Over the years, I had come to expect gifts from them to be a reflection of there desires for me. Things they wanted for me. This really changed things, they had finally listened, and now finally understood me and my interests. This meant a lot to me and my relationship with my grandparents.
I'm curious what the manga was
One of the most surprising gifts I ever got was a copy of Super Mario 64 as a child on Christmas. It was from my Aunt, and we opened relatives gifts first before our ones from our parents. So she inadvertently spoiled our big Christmas Gift that year, which was of course an N64. To get the game before the console is something I look back and chuckle at regularly.
Back in 2005 when I was 15 year old, the year the PlayStation Portable came out in the US, I begged my parents for one for Christmas. I asked repeatedly throughout the year and was continually met with no after no, my parents saying it was too expensive. I even asked my sister over and over whether she had any insider knowledge on my Christmas gift and she was so convincing, so deadpan in her repeated telling me no, telling me I was not getting a PSP. I was completely convinced that it was not my fate to own one. Come Christmas when I opened a PSP I was the most excited I'd ever been. I was completely stunned, so surprised and blown away. Hands down best Christmas and, if not the best gift, definitely the most impactful and memorable gift I've ever received.
