so prof, what you found out about the food chain?
This food chain misprint packfresh is going to fetch huge bucks :) I hope you get another revised pack with the money
@@Nostalg33 or buy the needed singles ;)
All my old decks were stolen from me...It's nice to just see old cards appreciated.
The choice of opening these on your “buy singles” playmate is just *chefs kiss*
To be fair, *he* didn't buy them.
buy singles, the chances of pulling the single you want from a pack are very slim.... WOW FOOD CHAIN!
There's always an exception. This is meant to be enjoyed and not thought logically over.
Playmat*

"Careless, like a child with fire, so was I with time." - Teferi
And yet teferi5 and 3 happened years later...
@@justinclement5417 teferi reflects to his carelessness but still makes disasters in recent years
@@justinclement5417 He's referencing the Teferi cards from the recent Dominaria and War of the Spark Sets, because they are commonly thought to be somewhat overpowered in standard. The Dominaria Teferi costs 5 mana, while the War of the Spark version is 3 mana.
@@justinclement5417 oppressive piece of shit planeswalkers that enabled infuriatingly slow and very hard to beat white/blue, white/blue/red control decks in standard
@@ajz2k To be fair, if you look at that Teferi art VS how he USED to look, they dont look like the same person
I like to think he's a phyrexian clone in my personal head canon. Original Teferi is on his phase plane just chilling
It's crazy that even on camera you can tell the cardstock back them was soooooo much better then what wizards is using currently.
That food chain is absolutely something that is desirable, I’m not an expert but I’ve been collecting misprints for a while now. That’s a beautiful misprint in my opinion.
I'm having a hard time seeing it. What exactly is the misprint?
@@codyhanson1344 looking at food chain, take a look to the left of the card, you’ll not only see that it’s darker than the right side, you’ll also see that the ink is smudged in the text box in the left side as well
@@codyhanson1344 the left third of the card's green frame is much darker than the rest
@@codyhanson1344 @ 3:55 he has some arrow graphics that point at the spots you can really tell are darker than normal/right side as if smudged with a black ink roller or something.
I've been trying to figure this out, what's your take on a foil rare where apparently a fly landed on the card as it went through the machine, and was flattened and sealed under foil? Anatomically complete, flattened like a cartoon steamroller, foil house fly corpse stuck on a card.
I ask because that's a real card I pulled this year and I have no idea what to do with it.
I just love the old water color art. It's amazing and gives huge nostalgia feels.
One can truly see your love for the game through your eyes and voice 🙂 I too hold dear memories of a long time ago, when I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh with my friends as a kid. Sadly that went away because of similar reasons as you: many felt too "adult" to be playing a "kid's game". Time passed by, I grew older, but I never forgot those happy moments. In a way to reexperience those moments, I started playing magic, with my friend, this very year, after a very, very long and dark period of my life, and found a little community at my local game store shortly after. Sadly the shop closed just a month later. I was very sad, even if I experienced that place for just a few weeks. People were happy to see me, welcoming and joyful. You professor give out the same vibe. I learned this way that the essence of Magic is not the cardboard pieces you use, nor the game in itself, it's the people you play with, the memories you make and the connections you develop. In other words, it's not magic, it's the actual gathering. And that of course is the same for any other game that brings people together. I truly hope to one day find another community, because this to me felt like family, like I belonged somewhere. And to all players of the world I say, keep being proud, don't listen to so called "adults", and keep doing what you love.
If you haven't, I suggest trying mtg arena. It's missing a lot of that community aspect, but just having a place to play mtg is nice and reminds me of better times.
as someone that works at an lgs, i absolutely love your repeated emphasis on supporting your local shops. very much miss our in-person magic community and events, and having people still buying boxes, packs, and supplies during quarantine makes me hopeful we can have that again someday
As someone who’s only recently gotten into the game over the last couple years, it’s cool seeing old packs like these opened even if the value doesn’t hold up. There’s just something a little emotional thinking about how these cards have been just sitting in a pack for decades unused, and now they’re out in the world to be collected and/or played with. They finally have a chance to be a part of someone’s enjoyment to the game, and that’s wonderful.
I also grew up playing revised. I keep a deck in each color from revised that I can get out and play with others when the mood strikes. There is something very special about playing revised. Thanks for sharing your memories, and for sharing these fun packs!
This made me smile :-) I'm definitely looking forward to playing with folks again one of these days. I'm feeling a special hankering for commander!!
Goobertown Hobbies also plays mtg???? Ever thought about doing some mtg videos in addition to warhammer. Love your videos!
That was a really lovely story about your younger days and why you enjoy opening these older packs to try to reclaim a fun part of your past. It made me long for something I miss from my older days when I loved magic so much I skipped a class or two in college just to play more (I know bad me, but we do silly things for love sometimes.) I wish I could get a group of friends I could play for hours with again, especially playing casual 60 card constructed planechase. That's been my favorite format forever and while I'm glad people enjoy using it to punch up commander sometimes, I'm still sad I don't think I could ever go to any kind of mtg event or store ever again and get a game like that ever again. I miss when commander was just another way to play casual multiplayer magic, and not the only format anyone plays.
Wow, that's some whiplash. That misprint Food Chain is really cool and will definitely be desirable to some people (if you don't decide to play it yourself), I'm sure there are cEDH players who would love that for style points. And then the Revised pack gives you a Lace.
You make it much easier to resist the temptation to buy these old packs I'm nostalgic for, so thanks for that!
I regret essentially giving away my Ice Age and Mirage collections years ago. Haven't really tried to reassemble it, but every now and then I come across loose cards, and get that nostalgia hit.
I've just jumped back into Magic after 16 years, and boy am I kicking myself over the current values of so many of those old cards. Trying my hand at Commander which is new to me, but seems to offer the best flexibility in terms of playing cards that I already know while trying to learn some of these new mechanics and new terms for old ones. Makes me feel old, "WHY BACK IN MY DAY!!" but it feels good to be getting back into something that gave me a lot of enjoyment for so many years.
I started collecting in 1995 or so, but not much beyond that. I never played, just split my allowance money with my brother when we were kids. I recognized a lot of the cards in your binder and had my own trip back to childhood. Thanks!
This is pure class. After opening seemingly not very excting booster of Revised, Prof. teaches all of us, how to appreciate truly valuable things - friendship, memories, passions.
Reaction so needed in this world of booster opening only focused on monetary value and overpriced cards.
Thanks, Prof., happy New Year.
Outstanding Video, Professor and thanks for the trip down Memory Lane! I've been playing since...yup...you guessed it...Revised! My son and his friends got me into it way back and my son is now 40 (I'm 62) and his children, my granddaughter and grandson both play!
what a beautiful video, also i loved Dark Privilege "As you breath your last, understand why i accept such forbidden gifts"
send chills to my spine
The way you expressed your thanks to your friend with such sincerity for even the commons was beautiful.
The little joy of putting the single new card into the binder was such a lovely reminder of why we play and collect. 💖
Thanks for letting us come with you on that fun pack cracking adventure. thanks professor
That food chain is GORGEOUS and DEFINITELY worth something....and thank you for sharing the packs with us!!!!
You...always bring a smile to my face. Watching you open old packs and just, talk about junk...it sparks my love for the game again
This video was a whimsical nostalgia trip and absolute delight for me. I started playing way back in Onslaught - yes, "recent" considering there are people who started playing when you did, but I am proud because it is still far enough back to have been part of something great. Cards were cheap, and so were booster packs. The grocery store in the town I grew up in sold literally $3.99 Merc Masque packs and they were fun to open. I loved buying older packs and cracking them with friends, and sifting through all the beautiful older cards. It was nice to see this video and cherish all the memories I have had from way back then. I am glad and grateful you had the experiences you did and you started playing at such an amazing time. Thank you for sharing your joy, and allowing me to share mine here.
Keep being you and doing amazing things.
So fun to see prof be so nostalgic :)
The subtle joys of life to help keep the imagination kindled bright!
I got a couple boosters for Christmas. So much happier with the singles I bought with Christmas money. Thank you for continuing to push that saying on me, as it’s helping me throw less money away on gambling. I mean packs.
Your continued message to support local card shops is so important. Thank you for using your platform for good and to remind us why this game is so great.
This may be my favorite video you've ever done, Prof. Thank you for taking a fairly new Magic player into the retrospective mind of a longtime player. Although new to the game, I have become quite fond of my little cardboard rectangles and it's nice to see a similar appreciation and the presentation and delivery were superb. I know completing that binder is a long road to walk, but I wish you many moments of happiness in your journey...
This video really made me smile. I really enjoy seeing and hearing your love for these older cards.
This video was so wholesome and pure, I'm thankful to have experienced the opening of old packs. I'm also happy to hear someone not complain that they didn't get anything out of an older pack, rather, the joy of being able to use those old cards was refreshing.
Seeing that pack of Revised brought back great memories of college. Back in ‘93 when a dual land was going for $5.
I definitely remember opening quite a few packs of Masques back in the day, and of those packs there were also quite a few of the darker inking on many cards. Nice nostalgic misprint.
I must agree with you that those lands are also for me the most beaultiful, I also really like the kamigawa lands that when put side by side form a wider picture.
This video brought a smile to my face. As a player who started in 94, gave away all his cards on the way to university, and then took the game back up recently (also an English professor, coincidentally), this was a heady hit of nostalgia.
Thanks for sharing, I didn't grow up playing Magic, so it is neat to see you go through older packs. I'm glad that you've been able to recreate your collection over time and find decks to play some of those cards.
I loved that, thank you. Alliances was the fresh set when I started, and Visions was the first box I bought of boosters. This makes me happy to watch.
Deranged Hermit! My favorite card in the entire game of Magic! Made me SO happy to see it!
This only furthers my own conviction of one day owning an entire single-ton collection of Kamigawa. Nice and relaxing video as always!
That opening dialogue about having a complete revised set and then selling it because of “becoming an adult.” That spoke to me. I did the exact same thing.
The art and quality of cards back then are just so obviously superior
It’s not even close. Wizards should be ashamed.
Are they still made in Belgium? I haven’t bought any new cards since Mercadian masques
Thanks Prof, it takes me back to cracking & playing with newly opened revised back in the day, back then I played with them all .. i think it was a stack of over 200 cards initially, no sleeves, drinks & pizza on the table as we stayed in at college as it was cheaper to get pizza delivered and drinks in, and play magic rather than go to the college bar, how times have changed! lol ;)
The professor: Enjoying each opening 1 by 1*
Rudy: Skips right to the rares*
That coldsnap pack had some good uncommons. Coldsteel heart is a commander card. And alliances has force of will in the uncommon slot.
Rudy also did the Revised one by one. And he also enjoyed the trip down memory lane.
Mercadian Masques might be might 2nd favorite older set, but Scourge is my absolute favorite to this day. Recently bought 4 at my LGS, which weren't as expensive as some older packs, but for mint condition Scourge cards it was personally worth it for me, more so than any of the mystery or collector packs recently.
Your monologue in the opening moments were spoken with such reverence, I can tell the quest to rebuild your Revised collection is something that you find genuine joy in and means a great deal to you. Godspeed on your quest, Professor. I hope you one day, complete your set. ☺️☺️☺️
EDIT: Nevermind, I take it back because your heartfelt gratitude made me cry 🤣😂
I love seeing old packs being opened. Even just watching them being opened brings back good memories of being young and buying cards.
first time watching tolarian academy, very nice how you present everything,and very humble. keep up the good work
So awesome! I'll have to chip and buy you a pack myself. We gotta see that collection completed! 😉
Thanks for sharing this with us. It's always fun to see what parts of Magic others hold near and dear to their hearts.
I just got an old binder back that had many cards from revised and it was such a treat to look through them. I even had a Savannah hidden in there! Great video as always.
Thank you for everything you do for Magic, Prof.
The sentiment and perspective you always manage to demonstrate in your videos has been a huge boon to me since I returned to the game last year after a decade long hiatus.
The spirit of inclusivity, community and friendship you champion always manages to lift my mood and make me feel a part of something greater than myself; even in these times of isolation.
I'm glad you have such great friends and those great friends must be glad to have you too.
Thanks Prof. That was awesome. I came back into MTG a few years ago, and have spent the last 3 years rebuilding my Urza's Saga collection (stolen in 2000 in a burglary) so totally understand the joy of finding a new card you hadn't got yet. I'm down to 7 cards now but as I'm only trying to complete by opening packs or trading thats rather ground to a halt with COVID.
All of my EDH decks are tricked out with either Revised, Unlimited, Unglued or Unstable lands I've been lucky enough to retain either from the remains of my original collection, been able to open, or have sourced.
Love old lands!
That was really cool! Yugioh was my childhood but in my adulthood magic is my game! I can relate with having nostalgia with old magic cards as I do with yugioh cards.
These old packs remind me of the days when I first started playing back in the days of Ice Age. Over the years, I've sold/lost much of my old collection and I barely have anything that dates before Legions nowadays.
Not even really an MTG player, but subscribe for the nostalgia... Anyway, just wanted to say that I think you are a really good dude, and I really enjoy supporting this channel because of how much effort you put into doing good for others. Cheers.
Also had lots of what are now high value cards/sets back when I was in high school in the late 90s. Ended up selling them in 2004 when trading cards were at their all time low. I still kept the ones no one would buy all these years and just recently got another binder and some new cards!
That Urza's Legacy art... loved that then, love it now.
This was like the most sane and reasonable pack opening video Ive seen in a long time
I'm happy you've finally open some good cards, most of all you get something for you beloved revised collection. A big Hug from Italy
Absolutely beautiful message at the end. This is what we need in these trying times. Thank you Professor.
These are some of my favorite videos from you. It’s so simply pleasant watching you take a trip down memory lane into the older days of the game.
Yay another fellow revised land lover! Thanks for sharing the pack opening with all of us. Btw that Animate Dead is 4th edition!
Remember when opening packs was how you got lands? Revised Edition Remembers.
A kid at one of my LGSs won an event and got to choose between a current standard booster box and a revised booster pack (when they were about $100). He picked the pack and... well, apparently someone back in the day at WotC thought it would be _highliarious_ and/or oh-so-useful to have some land-"jackpot" packs that were just all basics to help people get the lands they needed for their decks...
Lol
That looks like my kind of misprint. Would fit perfectly with my Golgari cards with that black tinge.
Great video prof, always love seeing these old card frames. Reminds me of my original collection I've mostly rebuilt myself.
I’ll always love any Saga or masks block pack openings. It was honestly one of my favorite times during magic since I finally knew what I was doing
Wow, I have a Tragic Poet from the more recent Dominaria expansion but the older Quinton Hoover art is gorgeous!
this is the wholesome MTG content we need. Nostalgic and void of modern magic drama
Great to see this video, as someone who started playing when Mercadian masks had just gotten released. That hermit was one of the reasons that my very first deck to this day still contains a flame wave. The look on your opponents face when you wipe out 20+ squirrels and the hermit will never grow old.
As for your collection: yes, I feel you. Also sold/dumped a lot of mine which wasn't used for decks, but still own some nice cardboard including a mana flare, sol ring, several Sardia Colossus and what not.
In this regard the reprinting of some cards has a bit of a bitter taste though. It's not like the 3 sneak attacks I bought around the time Odyssey was around were cheap. Good riddance prof, you have many more years to complete that collection.
These were really fun to see you open, and the music reminding me of Phantasy Star IV didn't hurt either!
Professor, I love the poetic way you express yourself about Magic. I wish Portuguese was your primary language.
Back in April 97 I joined the Army, selling my magic set which consisted of 1 set of power 9 alpha, 2 sets of power 9 beta and 2 sets unlimited with play sets of duals of each set. Also including a power 9 set I used with no sleeves in the high school cafeteria cuz they were ate up among multiple extra mox's and lotuses. I wouldn't change my choice if given a chance. Point being don't regret anything you have done while you were young. Learn from it and understand it helped make you, you.
Great opening! Having a few hits makes it all the better. Especially like the one you pulled from Masques!
You are a wonderful credit to this community, and to your friends, Professor. Thank you for all you do!
I love your collection of revised cards. I am getting all the cards for a full set of Throne of Eldraine. I love the art and the theme.
That was fun! Thank you, Prof., for letting us open these packs with you!
I'm glad you like to play with the Revised basics. I don't play with those, but I DO play with Urza's Saga basics in many decks because that's when I started playing. In fact, I probably need to look around for another ebay listing of 20 of each to replenish. Seeing them makes me feel so good.
I once had a Soldier of Fortune deck with a lot of cards that can untap creatures along with cards that make your opponent manipulate their deck in some way. You basically make your opponent constantly shuffle with multiple Soldier activations and fool around with their decks until they grow sick and tired of it and just concede in disgust. Good times.
Nothing is quite as satisfying as cracking some Revised and pulling that sweet Deathlace.
Thank you prof. its been awhile since I've seen those older packs open and watching you open the alliances and revised packs too me back
Thanks Prof! How much nostalgia to me! Thanks for your work!
Hello Prof. I'm a new patron and a new magic player. My husband has played for years but other than the beautiful art, I didn't have much interest in it. Recently he asked me to organize his cards for him (his 10,000+ card collection). As I did, I became more and more fascinated with the story, then the mechanics, then I just fell in love with the entire game. My first deck was a mono black Braids, Arisen Nightmare deck focused on drain and gain. I am proud to say that I won my first game against my husband and I did it fair and square. He has too much love for the game to not play it properly. I actually beat him 2 out of 3. He gives me hell about it, but he's also very proud. I wanted to say thank you because watching your videos has also taught me so much. Your kindness is astonishing and you keep it light and fun. Please keep inspiring more people to just enjoy the game.
It's really nice seeing you relive the past with these boosters. Hope to se more in the future.
Prof not bashing the game and being emotionally moving? A rare treat that is always welcome.
Remember kids, variance is a tough mistress so unless you're buying pallets of cards at wholesale prices don't bother opening boosters (except for draft) because you will never come out ahead in the long run.
I mean, yeah but DOPAMINE!!!
That's if and only if you do that to find specific cards. If you're doing that for fun and you have disposable income for that, opening packs is perfectly fine.
So long as you remember you are gambling, gambling is perfectly okay.
I prefer to build decks from what I have instead of just building the most OP crap possible buying singles.
This was the wholesome content I needed today. Glad to see you're making your way back to the full collection!
Great to see the progress of another collectors collection.
2:00 They don't call it cardboard crack for nothing.
That was really visceral to me. I started at the end of Unlimited and poured a lot of money into the Revised set. I wasn't able to get any Arabian Knights where I lived but I bought a ton of Antiquities and Revised.
I swear that I could smell what the printing odors put off by those cards.
I had gotten my first reliable car around that same time and put a few of the common and uncommons in the back window of my car. After about 6 months of being in the sun almost all of the color faded out of them so that the black writing on the cards were all that remained. I had a Hurloon Minotaur that looked like an albino. It was awesome. I might be wrong but I think I ended up trading it for a dual land when dual lands were still in print.
Prof, you and I are of the same blood. In high school, I collected the complete set of revised along with a ton of other cards, huge swaths of everything up to Stronghold. I sold most of my cards, but thankfully, I didn't sell my two kitchen Table decks, my Revised Set, most of Stronghold, and some "old" cards at the time: a smattering of easy to get legends, Dark, Arabian Knights, and Antiquities. I'm thankful that I didn't sell: I can only imagine my regret.
The professor having the VIP Booster as the only MTG product on his bookcase behind him is priceless 😂
thank you for these kind of videos, they remind me of some of the first videos ive seen from you. amazing. i love oldschool booster openings. i myself like to collect some old boosters over some time and then open them just for the fun of it. of course in hope to find some cool cards. but most out of joy. oldschool sets are the best for me. all the way to khans of tarkir. wich i consider my personal border from older to newer mtg boosters. because. i started playing magic while kahns of tarkir was released so it was my
first set and first block. and holds a big place in my heart. but to me
everything that was before always seemed so much more interesting for
me. but im still very interested in magic the gathering. and nowadays im
more into acutally playing the game then ever before due to the
commander format beeing broad to me by friends. wich really got me into
it again after being more or less absent for some years.
So much fun watching the older packs getting opened. It’s like hunting for buried treasure ❤️
This was amazing Prof!!! That misprint card is incredible!!!
Thanks for sharing your gift opening! This was fun.
Really enjoyed spending time around the Leylines today Professor, thank you.
“A friend from the present taking me all the way back to the past.”
I’M NOT CRYING! YOU’RE CRYING!
I find it crazy that some of the top cards you mentioned like Lake of the Dead now go for 200+ bucks a pop just two months later.
Jesus, had to pause the video and comment on the amazing book series that is the death gate cycle.
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are amazing authors. I love seeing book series I recognize in your videos, really appreciate it. =)
These are absolutely my favorite kind of vicarious pleasure videos.
That heavily inked food chain is niceeee
