"Wow, we got an iconic misprint! Such a classic, one of the original misprints Magic fans hear about. It's very cool to see this thing in real life, I've never gotten to see it in my hand. What a nice piece of Magic history. Anyway here's a third Mountain."
Didn't they map all the boxes and extract all possible value out of these packs already? And they still try to sell packs for that price. What a racket!
@@Kryptnyt I wouldn't expect Card Kingdom to do this, but there's no need to map a box, when you can just push cards up into the seam and see them through the material. I wouldn't ever buy a loose pack from back then for anything other owning a sealed pack or from a reputable seller.
$800 in value you do not have to directly pay for a sponsored video is a decent deal. They (obviously) are hoping people that click the link spend more than that to get a return on investment or are doing it to hopefully get more sponsorship deals for less later on. You know, typical business stuff. They could also just be nice and like the show. Not unheard of.
For those interested in an abbreviated explanation of how Banding works, it's essentially two abilities: When attacking, you may form a band with any number of creatures with banding plus one without. Then if any creatures in the band become blocked, all creatures in the band are blocked. Finally, during the combat damage step the band's controller determines how the blocker's damage will be assigned and may divide the damage up however they choose. The final damage assignment must be legal. When blocking, you may form a band with at least one creature with banding and any number of other creatures. During the combat damage step, the blocking band's controller determines how the attacker's damage will be assigned and may divide the damage up however they choose. The final damage assignment must be legal.
“Revised eh? Let’s see how many basic lands we get.” I was still not prepared. The distribution is 3 uncommons, followed by 1 rare, followed by the rest commons. But a basic land can replace ANY common OR uncommon. That second pack was incredible. And the Revised efreet also has the wrong art. Everything else, the cost, stats, and text, are correct.
"Over 300 cards!" Scryfall currently lists 23,244 cards that are legal in vintage. 1,820 of those were first printed in 2021. At that rate we should hit 30,000 sometime in early 2027.
Wow. Watching that second pack be opened was like watching Monty Python's Spam sketch in slow motion. Basic and misprint, Basic and Bolt, Basic, Basic, Basic, and Charm...
Oh great, now somebody needs to go through the intros of all 100 episodes and see if he's called us a legendary creature, otherwise this bit doesn't work. That somebody is not me, btw.
But but but! If the workers form a union how will the profit in half a decade from the employer ownership scheme i cooked up which i inexplicably insist will be somehow impeded by the presence of a union
Bring back Crack-a-Pack in a few months with Crack-a-Pack Bingo, where you and Adam rip through packs like that scene in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory trying to find things from a community-sourced list like 'Something cool for Cameron's merfolk deck' or 'BESTEST GOBLIN' with bonus prizes for 'That's worth HOW MUCH?'. Y'know, since this is such a simple and not-at-all-deeply-time-consuming request. 😂
On the other hand, the vanilla test wasn't a thing in 1994 and Craw Wurm was almost always the biggest creature in any given pack it appeared in, so it impressed a lot of pre-teen Timmys.
That's the thing, passing the vanilla test back then was almost considered an upside with how infrequent it happened. Craw worm rules because there were so few creatures that could trade with it, and forget blocking profitably, 6 power took whatever your opponents bomb was down in a mass of craw and wurm
I guess Gloom was kinda interesting in a world in which Circles of Protection are a mainstay, but it stopped us from having a split card named Doom / Gloom.
Revised was a *terrible* set as far as overall card quality goes. Even by 1994 standards it was just chock full of junk rares once you got past the duals and as shown here you could open basic lands in *any* rarity slot. However, WotC were having so many problems keeping their expansions in stock that frequently it was the only type of pack available when you managed to drag your parents to the nearest hobby store that carried MTG which was at least half an hour away so you ended up buying nothing but Revised anyway.
I unironically love drain power, and I use it in a few commander decks. especially ones where I can get it at instant speed. Nothing like ruining an opponent's turn by tapping their lands before they get to draw. Or if I just NEED more mana.
This was a great throwback to my early Magic days and sad reminder of how much my old collection was worth. The terrible distribution was also why starter boxes were more sought after than boosters
Collective action is a good thing, labor strikes are cool, and destroy the Algorithm Dragon. Algorithm Dragon UR3 Artifact Creature - Construct Dragon Flying, Hexproof UR1: The next time a player would draw a card this turn, that player instead shuffles their hand into their library and draws cards equal to the amount of cards they had in their hand plus 1. Activate this ability only once each turn. 4/4
This was a lot of fun! Thanks, card kingdom and Graham. About an hour before watching this I was playing Strixhaven quick draft on Arena and my computer was trying to crash and I was stressing out about timing out before I could get off my winning spell. My wife looked over and said, "Oh, you are playing Graham". So Graham if you see this sorry it looked like I was messing with you!
I enjoyed this content - it also cured me of any desire to buy a pack of revised! This is fine, and CK should continue to sponsor you because I'll probably eventually spend the cost a pack of revised on singles this calendar year.
This was a blast from the past. Revised had just been released when I started playing many moons ago. I don’t recall quite that many basics in the packs though.
Thanks for all the fun with the cracking packs. Will miss the show on its hiatus, and await its return. In the meantime! Looking forward to seeing what y'all have been cooking up. Hope everyone at LRR has a good and safe time with all your things and stuff
I hope the hiatus isn’t very long! This series is literally responsible for me getting into Magic again after 20+ years, so I’m sad to hear it going away even if it’s temporary. Incidentally, isn’t it good they decided to stop letting lands just junk up half a pack? I can’t imagine how irritating getting a collection these days would be. How did draft even *work*?
It didn’t! Draft didn’t become something they designed and arranged packs for until Odyssey [Thank Artemi7 for the correction, it was Mirage, not Odyssey] I believe.
@@00Clank It was Mirage actually, way back in '96! That was the first set with limited in mind, both Sealed and Draft. Sets before that were... very poorly designed. Setting aside the basics in packs, things like common creatures in every color simply weren't a consideration. Mirage was the set that, while a bit rough and unpolished today, laid down a lot of the 'rules' they'd follow when trying to design sets for limited.
@@artemi7 Oh, yes thank you. I thought I remember it being the first set Rosewater worked on and for some reason said Odyssey which is comparatively much later, mixing the names up. Unless I see the palm tree I usually forget Mirage is the name of a set.
I also can't believe that this is one hundred episodes now! I remember being sad at first that these were separated from episodes of TTC where you used to crack packs, and to a small extent I do still miss hearing multiple people's memories + opinions of old cards, but I've really come around to them being their own thing. Besides, saving fifteen minutes from each TTC does give people more time to actually talk about stuff lol
I think the line about the last life point was talking about real life. You never truly win a game of magic until your opponent has no life. Thankfully not usually a problem as if you win a game of magic that implies your opponent plays magic and likely does not have a life to begin with. As a magic player, can confirm I have no life, or money
Glad to hear Crack a Pack is only going on hiatus. I'm not a huge Magic player anymore, so it's likely the other new content won't be for me. However, I greatly enjoy these short (relative to other content like full games / TTC / etc) moments and the supremely chill vibes. Also, completely respect giving bandwidth to the other content for now, as I know that's likely for more "new"/not nostalgia based Magic content, and likely a more important facet of the channel. Much love as always!
Congratulations on 100 episodes of Crack a Pack! Been watching these since you guys started last year and it's always great to see what you guys put out. Looking forward to the next 100~
Ahh the sweet nostalgia! I believe the order is 3 uncommons, rare, then commons, and any non-rare could be a land, so the second pack had the misfortune of 2 uncommons replaced by lands! Still, thanks for the entertainment!
I look forward to crack-a-pack's return, whenever you feel you can/should. I don't play magic but I enjoy these as just a nice video to have G talking at me about something that's inconsequential in the grand scheme of things while I wake up.
you know, Serendib Efreet ain't even bad in limited builds... considering its a 3/4 Flying creature for 3 mana... sure, it deals you 1 damage each round, but it might end games quicker simply due early summoning and flying protection... (and it can survive a Lightning Bolt) :-P
Fun fact: lightning bolt won the MtG bracket, a fan-run bracket started in 2016 to determine the best Magic card ever. It lasted 2 years and saw lightning bolt, iconically, beating bird of paradise for the top spot. (The top 8 contained counterspell, wrath of god, mind sculptor, dark confidant, ancestral recall, and black lotus.)
I love the crack-a-pack Graham! Even though I think it is a tremendous waste of chaos draft potential! ... The dichotomy of man... XD So please return it soon! And the more episodes per week the better
Damn that feels like back in my childhood. I know all these cards and most likely used them all at some point. Also just gave away a bunch of the lands to my local store because I don't play anymore.
one of my favourite things about the old cards is the font that makes the capital H a lowercase. hurloon Minotaur instead of Hurloon. I don't know why but I think it's neat!
I figured out how to scan through packs by myself in 1994 (the plastic was clear enough to read the card names if you were precise) and I'm sure any Revised pack you can get these days has been scanned already. I'm especially not surprised to see that two free packs had very little of interest in them. It was fun to see all those old friends again, but wow was Magic a bad experience way back then.
@ 4:43 so back in the day I was playing my friend and they played a Drain Power on me, but in response I casted Mana Short on them, so they got all my mana as colorless mana but had no colored mana to cast any spells (they were planning to fireball me or something), so they died from all my mana as mana burn. Good times.
I have a giant Hurloon Minotaur from an old convention in my attic. I should convince my commander group to let me count it as a legend if only bc it's bigger than my head.
Oh Craw Worm, I remember you. When I was young and dumb and 10 years old some older kids at camp who actually read Scryed convinced me you were the best card ever and I traded you for my four Dual Lands.
I opened a Revised pack once back in the day that had I think 8 or 9 basic lands in it. Then again, I also opened packs from a booster box of Revised that had 4 rares per pack. As a result no uncommons, but I think I did a lot better with all those rares.
Phantasmal Terrain actually seems fun to turn something into a Waste in an effort to color hose them, but honestly the real purpose of that card was to turn on your lord of atlantis.

Anyway here's a third Mountain."
Also, 4 basics in a row.
Considering a pack of 3rd Edition Revised runs for $400 (US) on Card Kingdom, I'd say you got your value out of these two free packs 😂
Didn't they map all the boxes and extract all possible value out of these packs already? And they still try to sell packs for that price. What a racket!
@@Kryptnyt I wouldn't expect Card Kingdom to do this, but there's no need to map a box, when you can just push cards up into the seam and see them through the material. I wouldn't ever buy a loose pack from back then for anything other owning a sealed pack or from a reputable seller.
Card kingdom may not have but whoever they sourced these packs from may have

You know, typical business stuff. They could also just be nice and like the show. Not unheard of.
speaking of mapping is this possible with the mapping like does this happen or is this an oddity with how many lands they were given?
I like how there is no reminder text for bands, the mechanic no one actually understands. But there is a paragraph of flavor text.
Because Banding was evergreen! It was a baseline mechanic that everyone was expected to know off the dome.
Also the reminder text for banding is basically an essay and literature doesn't fit most of the time
Don’t worry each revised started deck included an easy to lose rules pamphlet that explained banding!
Just consult the handy rule book that came with your Starter Deck! Hope you can read 2 pt font.
For those interested in an abbreviated explanation of how Banding works, it's essentially two abilities:
When attacking, you may form a band with any number of creatures with banding plus one without. Then if any creatures in the band become blocked, all creatures in the band are blocked. Finally, during the combat damage step the band's controller determines how the blocker's damage will be assigned and may divide the damage up however they choose. The final damage assignment must be legal.
When blocking, you may form a band with at least one creature with banding and any number of other creatures. During the combat damage step, the blocking band's controller determines how the attacker's damage will be assigned and may divide the damage up however they choose. The final damage assignment must be legal.
*Prof:* Remember folks, don't crack packs, buy singles.
*Everyone:* Buy Revised singles, got it.
*Prof:* No! WAIT!!!
Rudy, rubbing his claws together: Gooood. Goood.
"Back in my day, your _packs_ could land flood!"
This is the laughter of a man who totally didn't pay the 800$ for the packs. Just imagine
“Revised eh? Let’s see how many basic lands we get.”
I was still not prepared.
The distribution is 3 uncommons, followed by 1 rare, followed by the rest commons. But a basic land can replace ANY common OR uncommon. That second pack was incredible.
And the Revised efreet also has the wrong art. Everything else, the cost, stats, and text, are correct.
Could be worse, Alpha starters can have a rare replaced by an Island.
The basics from that second pack like "When we were printed, we were nothing. But now, by our powers combined, we may cast a Violent Ultimatum!"
At least with that second pack of revised you got the mana base to Jund 'Em Out with a lightning bolt and a green-bordered blue creature :)
So this is what they meant by "moist Jund"
@@alexthethu yea, a singular drop of water is perfectly moist
Have to say, that second pack really landed well....
5:35 is the peak of crack-a-pack editing and I will die on this hill
"Over 300 cards!"
Scryfall currently lists 23,244 cards that are legal in vintage. 1,820 of those were first printed in 2021. At that rate we should hit 30,000 sometime in early 2027.
Wow. Watching that second pack be opened was like watching Monty Python's Spam sketch in slow motion.
Basic and misprint, Basic and Bolt, Basic, Basic, Basic, and Charm...
Waoh...Graham has called us enough names to fill a commander deck.
Oh great, now somebody needs to go through the intros of all 100 episodes and see if he's called us a legendary creature, otherwise this bit doesn't work.

I think there are 8 cards missing, and then we just need a legendary with all colours to pilot it!
Addendum: Don't purchase from Card Kingdom until they recognize their union, never cross a picket line! Even if it is inconvenient, we have to have solidarity.
Oh banding! It's just like forming a union!
But but but! If the workers form a union how will the profit in half a decade from the employer ownership scheme i cooked up which i inexplicably insist will be somehow impeded by the presence of a union
Bring back Crack-a-Pack in a few months with Crack-a-Pack Bingo, where you and Adam rip through packs like that scene in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory trying to find things from a community-sourced list like 'Something cool for Cameron's merfolk deck' or 'BESTEST GOBLIN' with bonus prizes for 'That's worth HOW MUCH?'. Y'know, since this is such a simple and not-at-all-deeply-time-consuming request. 😂
Note: The Serendib Efreet misprint is actually also the art that's wrong. It's the art from Arabian Nights' Ifh-Biff Efreet.
So many things went wrong with that one card.
Was it supposed to b blue background or green mana?
@@mattconw It should be blue. If you look up Serendib Efreet from Arabian Nights you'll see how it should have looked.
Scariest thing about Craw Wyrm is it doesn't even pass the vanilla test.
On the other hand, the vanilla test wasn't a thing in 1994 and Craw Wurm was almost always the biggest creature in any given pack it appeared in, so it impressed a lot of pre-teen Timmys.
Though consider, it doesn't die to bolt.

Crack-a-Pack is a highlight of my week, so I look forward to when you come back. It's the perfect length of time to watch during lunch.
This was weirdly similar to my own Revised experience back in the day, heh.
Thank you for making me feel less cursed after all those years, Graham. :)

Well I will await the return of crack a pack and check point. Really hoping this means Friday Nights is returning.

Congratulations for 100 episodes. What a ride. Thank you very much. Can't wait for the next season.
That terrible feeling when you're holding a pack of MTG that is as old as I am!
that 2nd pack was nuts. you'd want your money back after that
It was worth more than the first pack.
Maybe the real value is the craw friends we crack along the way :3
No way there's already 100 of these, It feels like yesterday episode 1 came out, congrats on the milestone! Enjoy the break!

Gloom was amazing when dealing with Circle of Protection decks.
One of the best anti white cards in the game.
Yep, the original text of Gloom even just says, "Circles of Protection cost 3 more mana to use."
Just hope the opponent doesn't play Karma

Congratulations on 100 episodes of Crack A Pack!
Graham's face lighting up upon seeing Lightning Bolt just warmed my heart tho
This is still true!
Hey! Back in the day, that was all we had AND WE LIKED IT!
COP's, elemental blasts, and bolt? you've got the start of a sweet pauper deck there.
Man, I remember playing with Revised cards. They all seem so basic now, but at the time they seemed great.
As I started playing MtG back in high school when the game was new these cards do not phase me. In fact I probably still have these cards.
Happy 100! Exited to hear all the news for LRRMTG (🤞Friday Nights🤞)
MATT. Less than 90 seconds in and I am already slain by the edit XD;.
It was Jordynne this time ;)
"It's all uphill from there", he says, without knowing he was going to open like six other mountains

And this is why, friends, you... say it with me... "Buy. Singles".
I found crack a pack at episode 30. And have watched every episode since as they came out thank you so very much
Congrats on 100 episodes! I really enjoy these strolls, and I hope you'll be back on them soon!
I can't begin to describe the happiness I feel at being called a Pirate Ship
That mesa pegasis joke
you know, Serendib Efreet ain't even bad in limited builds... considering its a 3/4 Flying creature for 3 mana... sure, it deals you 1 damage each round, but it might end games quicker simply due early summoning and flying protection... (and it can survive a Lightning Bolt) :-P
Yep, I recently used it to win a couple games in an Alpha - Revised cube draft.
Yeah a 3/4 flyer for (3) is WAY above rate for a 1994 creature.
*dons the tin foil hat*
I think Card Kingdom knew the second pack had over 50% basic lands, and gave it away as a prank.
Congratulations from Germany to 100 packs cracked!
The empty wrappers are worth more than the contents of those packs, lol!

So please return it soon! And the more episodes per week the better
Gloom was printed as a counter to the full cycle of Circles of Protection that saw a LOT of use back then
Notice that Frozen Shade doesn't say it gets +1/+1 *until end of turn* , meaning back then it received a permanent buff. Likely been oracled later.
Nooooooooo
This is my favourite show :c
It kinda mades my day to come after work and play this :c
Card Kingdom: How about we send you TWO! (whispers searched) Revised Booster packs! =D
Damn that feels like back in my childhood. I know all these cards and most likely used them all at some point.
Also just gave away a bunch of the lands to my local store because I don't play anymore.
Lol, okay, Mesa Pegasus honestly cracked me up
one of my favourite things about the old cards is the font that makes the capital H a lowercase.
hurloon Minotaur instead of Hurloon. I don't know why but I think it's neat!
No Graham! Why re you taking away CAP away from us?! Are you putting into the vault where you keep the dreams and the happiness along with FN?!!??!
I figured out how to scan through packs by myself in 1994 (the plastic was clear enough to read the card names if you were precise) and I'm sure any Revised pack you can get these days has been scanned already. I'm especially not surprised to see that two free packs had very little of interest in them. It was fun to see all those old friends again, but wow was Magic a bad experience way back then.
This was my first set. Nostalgia is strong.
@ 4:43 so back in the day I was playing my friend and they played a Drain Power on me, but in response I casted Mana Short on them, so they got all my mana as colorless mana but had no colored mana to cast any spells (they were planning to fireball me or something), so they died from all my mana as mana burn. Good times.
Imagine playing Revised Edition Limited. There are so few creatures per pack!
I have a giant Hurloon Minotaur from an old convention in my attic. I should convince my commander group to let me count it as a legend if only bc it's bigger than my head.
Being colourblind and just not noticing the misprint until Graham explained
i thought graham at 0:58 was gonna say "and card kingdom sells packs of....crack"
Unionize Card Kingdom
Oh Craw Worm, I remember you. When I was young and dumb and 10 years old some older kids at camp who actually read Scryed convinced me you were the best card ever and I traded you for my four Dual Lands.
Even with the low value, this was pretty special and cool!
Congrats on 100 crack-a-packs! 🥳
I started during revised.. I was caught off guard when I saw the pack!
Fun episode, thank you!
Wow! 100 episodes, congrats!
Zero… we have added zero decimals to the amount of magic cards in the pool. Commas on the other hand… 😉
not if you're european!
Look…
@@ribbontoast or you know basically 95% if the world thats not america
I opened a Revised pack once back in the day that had I think 8 or 9 basic lands in it. Then again, I also opened packs from a booster box of Revised that had 4 rares per pack. As a result no uncommons, but I think I did a lot better with all those rares.
Top notch editing once again!
Phantasmal Terrain actually seems fun to turn something into a Waste in an effort to color hose them, but honestly the real purpose of that card was to turn on your lord of atlantis.
