I decided to pick two subscribers from the comments and have them battle it out in a winner takes all to determine who's taking home the fetch and contents inside the gift bundle. Good luck!
Yes please
Woot!
hell yeah battle it is
please when was MISPRINT shown?
Here we are :)
It was 1994 in my buddies living room! He and his older sister were playing a mic of Beta/Revised and I was like, 'What the heck is that!' and I started saving my comic book money for magic cards too after that.
I also ended up marrying his sister, and she's watching this video with me right now!!!
That's a love story for sure!
Neither of you were playing CoPs is my guess. It would be hard to fall in love with someone playing those. 😆
+5 wholesome
My aunt first introduced me to Magic back when I was about 12. She was moving, I was helping her pack, and we came across her old mtg collection from back when she was in college. It was a small box of 3rd edition and I just thought it was the coolest thing ever! That night I went on UA-cam to look up the rules and how to play the game, and that’s actually when I found your channel. I asked a group of kids at school if I could watch them play, we became great friends, and I’ve loved this game ever since.
Thank you so much for letting us be a part of the opening Joey. Still in shock! hopefully we get to see whats in the other packs not opened!
For anyone who watches this almost a year later, we got it graded and it came back a 9.5. So close to a gem mint 10 if not for the centering! Awesome either way
I was 12 when I started playing Magic. I was living in Massachusetts at the time and had gotten into it because my brother was playing it. The first new set coming out was Ice Age but I had started buying packs with Revised, The Dark, 4th Edition and Fallen Empires. I bought a ton of Ice Age when it finally released. One of the best openings I had was when I bought the last three packs in a box of Ice Age. I pulled a Jester's Cap and freaked out. The guy at the store, who I was friends with, said I should sell that and buy a starter deck for Ice Age. I did it, cause why not. I pulled another Jester's Cap from the Starter deck. We both lost it. This guy told me, "I'm going to open a fresh box of Ice Age and buy you three packs. You pick the packs and we'll see if your luck is still good." He cracked the box and I picked my packs. On the last pack, I opened another Jester's Cap. That was one of the most intense openings I have ever had with packs. Thanks for the awesome vids and content and I can't wait to see what's next!
Wow
I started my MTG journey with Aplha way back in high school. Loved opening packs, playing, and admiring the artwork of Magic. We spent every lunch period playing Magic, as well as after school and before school if we arrived early enough. After Ice Age, I lost interest, and over the years, it resurfaced off and on, most notably in the military while deployed - we played a lot overseas, which really helped draw me back in and pass the time, because deployment is never fun... thanks a bunch for this! Great nostalgia and fun to watch!
This is awesome! Started playing magic when I was really young, around 8-9 years old(30yo now), never had the chance to purchase older sets like revised, ice age or antiquities and beyond but absolutely love watching older sets opened. Excited to see how this video plays out! Cheers!
That was amazing!!! My curiosity for the leftover sealed packs is at all time high!!!! Thanks man great opening, been playing since Mercadian Masque and don’t ever plan on stopping! Mtg4life
I’m pretty sure a taiga is in one of the sealed packs just looking at the print sheet
I was first introduced to MTG this past year while deployed with the Army. First set I opened was Midnight Hunt. Played almost everyday and down the rabbit whole I went and won't be stopping anytime soon. Love the content and looking forward to getting in a box break soon!
Appreciate your service
From a army guy myself, love to see you also playing brother! Hoooah
Maybe you army cats ain’t so bad, oorah 🤙🏽
Man, I must have bought 6-7 of those boxes!
I sold them off, back when the going rate was $22 bucks per starter!
🥺😱
One day all of these boxes will be opened and a video like this will be impossible to make. Great stuff, love the old MTG art.
Hey I'm Marc, 27 y/o and been self-employment for 2 1/2 years now, right before corona broke out in germany. It's been a rough last year, but some FNM and buddies kept my head up.
I first started magic back when the 7th edition launched and my cousin from all across the country visited and he showed me cards and i got my mum to buy me a couple of packs. ofcourse i didnt know a whole lot about it but we played as far as a 6 and 8 year old knew! My favorite card back then was Vizzerdrix! After a huge break i came back to MTG 6 years and got introduced to modern by a couple of friends and been playing ever since.
Thanks alot for the fun content the past years! Stay safe!
Man watching this revised opening was absolutely awesome! I started playing only about 3 and a half years ago towards the beginning of my freshman year of high school, my best friend got me into magic and commander when we were sitting around at one of our waterpolo tournaments, and ever since I’ve been hooked, my collection has been slowly but steadily growing and Commander Legends was my first set to actually be able to by my own booster. Still always going down to my LGS with him to get in some games. SKADOOOSH!!
Really unusual story on how i started playing MTG as opposed to some others haha. My dad loved MTG but had no one to play with so he began teaching me and my sister both how to play at 5 years old. I'm 20 now and Ive been play MTG for 15 years
This opening was crazy! Honestly wish I could’ve played Magic when I was a kid, mannnn I can’t get enough of the old art/borders. I love these insane openings man, can’t wait to be able to afford to support ya and partake in the chaos! 😮✨
I started playing while station in Bosnia with the army (peace keeping force I 1996/97. We had just finish working an Apache helicopter, it was 1 in the morning and we saw this senior NCO messing some cards, so we asked about he said this company named wizards of the coast was supporting the troops by sends boxes of starter box kits and nieces of new cats the play with. He explained in general how to play and said they play every day in the chow hall. We told him we usually work til one in the morning, he said not a problem, he arranged for to play every night for the next 8 months, we didn’t make a lot of money in the Army, but magic has made me poor since 96. It was great to get away from the real (not such a great place at the time) world for 3-4 hours everyday. Love you channel!
I started collecting magic around onslaught. I remember thinking Kavus were the coolest thing ever. Once I hit high school and started playing, I fell in love with artifacts.
I had the same thing too in high school. I had a water artifact I smoked weed in.
Started playing 2 years ago on a trip to Germany to see my step son. He was all about it, and now his mother and I play with him all the time.
Absolutely love seeing revised being opened. It was the set that introduced me to Magic and I only have fond memories of those earliest days of Magic.
My brother taught me how to play Magic back in the OG Zendikar and I was hooked for life. I was only 12, but he had me play against a d20 and once I could figure out how to “win” against the d20 by turn 4, he let me go to a tournament. I played his vampire deck. I didn’t know what a sideboard was so I played a 75 card deck. To this day, it is the first and only tournament I have one.
I started playing in high school, Revised was out. Seeing this opening was SOOOOOO nostalgic. It brought back so many memories. But, I WANT to know what’s on the other packs so bad! Anyways, amazing opening thanks!
me two, started playing in 95 and never had any A or B but unlimited and revised are what I had. Lucky after high school I stored them in a closet and never touched them. have gotten them back out and have been collecting the last couple of years
I started Magic while in my first year of college. I was just getting back to school after a super bad knee surgery and infection that almost made me lose my leg. Some nice dudes who became my friends sat next to me and taught me to play. I was given a mono green infect deck. I went and bought my first pack, which was Theros, and my first gift box was Khans. I still have a lot of major health issues and surgeries, So MtG collecting when I can and content on youtube like this, helps me pass the time on near constant bed rest. So your channel is keeping me busy while i wait for these tumor surgeries and neck surgery! thanks for the vids
hope everyone is having a good day.
I got into Magic around two years ago while serving in the Marines. My buddies and I were going through some rough times and Magic brought us together and helped us more positively cope with everything going on! It’s crazy what a lil Magic will get you through in life Semper Fi
I discovered Magic back in 1994 when a friend of mine was diagnosed with Leukemia and we needed something to help pass the time while he was hospitalized each time. We enjoyed to game for a couple of years until his passing. I have continued playing the game all these years and always remember him during all of my games. I think he would have really enjoyed Commander and fun it brings to the table.
I only started playing magic about a year ago with my friends playing with precons but my dad used to play back during Revised. It's crazy to see some of these cards that my dad used to play with and gives me a nostalgic feeling. Kinda like I was cracking packs with him. Awesome video!
Joey, I’m a new player who was introduced to the game during crimson vow. I’ve been addicted to the game ever since. It’s only been a couple months and I’ve probably watched over 50 of your videos already. Love the magic content and keep up the good work.
I was just starting High school when Revised was still available, but at the tail end of the run, my local store still had Legends and the Dark packs.
The cards had this unpolished look to them, like they were actual spellbook pages shrunk to card size...part of the appeal I guess. Then the glossy Chronicles and 4th edition came out, looking cheap.
I remember opening dual lands.
I also remember getting hosed on my first trade, getting a playset of Sea Serpents for my Force of Nature.
Good times.
My kindergarten best friend's parents played magic so I started playing magic when I was only 2 years and 3 months old. I'm 18 years old today, haven't stopped since. Nowadays I'm working in an LGS in Tel Aviv. Actually I'm organizing a modern tournament today. I've been watching your videos for the longest and thay always bring me joy 😊 .
I found out about MTG back in middle school by visiting a comic book store and seeing Dark was released and started asking questions about what the cards were for. From then it’s been a love hate relationship but I have enjoyed the journey. Love your videos
I started playing in 1995. I had a card store right across from my school. I had my best friend at the time show me the game in the lunch room. Then I walked over to the store and bought a 4th edition starter deck. The friend and I played right out of the box. I wish it was 1995 again lol. This video was amazing and my favourite video ever. I’ve been with you moss boss for years. !
So sick!! Took part in a revised box break with unhinged magi, so much fun. Good luck everyone!!!
Grew up playing YuGiOh. Owned some MTG cards cause the art was cool but no friends played. 1st year of college rolls around I still own all my YuGiOh cards but now the game is so drastically different I no longer care for it and all my decks were either banned or useless. A friend wanted to get into Magic and so did I. So we went to Wal-Mart and bought a starter deck and deck builders tool kit each. Now I have an arsenal of commander decks my wife and I pull from to bust out and play with friends. I love this game so much now for not only the play but the art and lore as well. This is an incredible experience to see someone open a full sealed box of revised good luck to everyone who reads this on your pulls in life!
You know it is serious when Joey have actual gloves and not just finger condoms
Good luck to everyone!
thats exactly what i thought also bro haha
Thank you and all that participated, this was an amazing opening! I started playing in Revised. My cousins introduced it to me and my older brothers at our family reunion camp out, in Yosemite National Park. We played all week with the cards they had made decks out of and had so much fun at the camp tables (no sleeves, yikes). When we went home my older brothers starting buying their own cards for us to play at home. I got my own when I earned my own money and like most, they ended up in a box in the garage for years until I got back into playing/collecting in 2015. Love the game more now then I ever did back then!
Opening a pack like this is my long term magic dream, college keeps me at the occasional booster pack though for now :)
Same boat. Always wanted to own a underground sea and in college too.
I first started playing MTG around 4 months ago. My buddy bought a snowboard to go hit the mountains with me, and I decided that I would buy a pre-con (Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver.) I immediately fell in love with the game. From there on I started play a ton and upgrading my deck. After that I got my girlfriend into playing and we started building decks. I started watching your channel around when I started playing. Love the content! Keep up the good work!
so many nostalgic cards! great opening, loved it! 😁👊🏻
Thanks for the video Joey Moss. I appreciate you taking the time to show the cards and talk about them a bit. I didn't realise how long it takes and how exhausting it must be to do an entire box and show all the cards. Appreciate the effort and I hope you don't lose your voice.
When I was younger, my dad actually worked for a printing company that was contracted to print Magic the Gathering, called Shepard and Poorman Printing out of Indianapolis. I distinctly remember seeing full uncut test prints, and also remember it being a pretty big deal for the company to have that contract. I didn't really start playing and purchasing packs until years later around Urza block
This ones for the beautiful scalding tarn and the gift addition box.
I first started playing magic when i was about 8 yrs old and my big brother brought me over to his friends house and i saw that they had tons of magic cards and decks in there room. I asked about them and the guy let me use his deck and helped me a bit with playing. There had been magic cards in my house before that and my brother played a bit so eventually i started hanging out at my local lgs and found a sounder full community and look at me know getting top 3 in a store championship and spending 1.5k plus on a modern deck only 4 yrs later.
Note: love your content, i watch it all the time when I’m doing something else and can turn off my brain and listen to your amazing commentary.
I had a sleepover with my pretty much only friend at the time when I was 12. We camped in the second floor of his mom's office next door to his house and we stayed up half the night as he taught me how to play Magic. The first ever spell I cast was a revised Llanowar Elves, and forever I fell in love with elves. He took me to the local Baseball shop next day and I bought my first starter, Tempest (Reflecting Pool, Meditate, can't remember the third), and a copy of Scrye.
I organized a chaos draft with friends about 12 years ago. Packs of revised were ~50 if only we'd kept them sealed haha. But it was a freaking blast, brought us all back to the day.
Back in 2013, I was staying at my aunts cabin with some cousins. It was a rainy day so we werent able to go out and they told me about Magic. We went and got a "fat pack" of Dragon's Maze and built myself a 60 card standard deck. Been playing ever since. Swapped over to commander and I still play with my original group. Its been my favorite hobby ever since.
It was late 1994 on Vancouver Island B.C. Canada when I was first introduced to magic, I remember my babysitter showing me the game and I was instantly enthralled by it. My earliest memories of MTG and my first LGS I remember the store owner showing me the revised packs and telling me how their cool but its the unlimited ones that are way better but he had just sold out of unlimited a few months earlier. I also remember him talking about the ultimate card the "Black Lotus" and how it was going for something like 200-400$ and I couldn't believe spending that much on a single card (Sure wish I baught every one he had now...).
Keep up the good work Joey, I'm a new sub but love the channel!
I started playing not long ago, it was a few years ago in high school. My friend simply walked up to me and asked me to play a game. He sat down and explained all the rules and I have loved the game ever since.
I was 34 years old and was living in Michigan. I was playing Yugioh at a local card shop with my fiance and I ran into an old classmate he said "Why don't you come down to Nostalgia for some Magic" we were at a place called The Collectors Zone and he was referring to Nostalgia Ink; after we finished our game of Yugioh we caught the city bus back down town and after borrowing a Commander Deck each me it was Karametra God Of Harvest while my fiance played Sidisi.
We fell head over heels in love with Magic that very day! The first packs I ever touched and opened were Dragons Of Tarkir!
I now play a Commander Rakdos Dragon Tribal Dragon Deck, led by Dragonlord Kolaghan, my fiance really doesn't have a focused deck right now
So i essentially started watching mtg for a few years. your channel and alpha investments along with simplyunlucky was my very first introduction whenever that video game out. im not kidding when i see YEARS passed where i didnt try it. i moved down to SC last year and went into a BAM. (books a million) wondered around for a little bit but came across an ikoria bundle which i decided to pick up. i then got addicted to cracking packs and now understand why everyone does it. i bought another box and it was a zendikar rising gift edition at a local lgs and then with those cards and ikoria i made 2 decks where i sat down with my dad and played my first game. We both didnt really know the mechanics so we watched a few tutorials and it was really fun. since then ive bought product and crafted a commander deck. so thank you go giving me an addiction that i probably forever will hold.
I was a yugioh player, played with my 2 young sons at tournaments. One guy would always show up just to play Magic and would let anyone play his decks. Game was awesome. That was about Fifth Dawn. I was hooked. Went hardcore into collecting MtG up until New Phyrexia. Hit some hard times and sold most of my rares and uncommons. Got back into collecting with Kaldheim. Found your videos about 3-4 months ago and haven't missed one since. Keep up the awesome vids!
Been playing magic for almost 20 years. Started opening packs of Mirrodin in my local card shop. Took small breaks here and there, life happens sometimes.
I remember my friend brought over his Sliver deck back when I first started. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. He ended up giving it to me a couple days later, I'll never forget that. I still have all of the cards from it. Even an og Sliver Overlord.
Keep up the good work Joey. Skadoosh!
First ty for taking me down memory lane. This was an awesome video.
I started when Revised came out. Friend got me into it. Wes used to go a game shop in the mall called Boardwalk. I remember getting a box every paycheck from there. Always had bad luck. My brother had all the luck.
On a side note the owner of the shop was an OG Magic player. He invited my brother and I to join a group of Magic players every Sunday at Denny's to play. They would rent out the back room and we would play for hours. I learned a lot from them. The best was watching one guy who every time he played a Chaos Orb would reach down and pull out this 12inX6in Chaos Orb card and flip it. We always got a good laugh.
Ty again and I have really enjoyed watching your videos.
My little brother got me into playing back in the day after a bad break up the local community made me feel at home right away and I’ve loved the game ever since. This was around rtr thanks joey for your great content
I started playing Magic back when I was in high school. Worldwake just came out. My cousin taught me how to play. I didn't really have many of friends at the time and Magic became a way for me to connect with new people and join a community that I really enjoyed. I then started to get some of my friends from sports to play. Then within the next 2-3 years my LGS became my home. I knew the stores owners and was there basically every Friday night. Magic really is one of the best things to happen to me.
Joey - this was a real blast from the past, looking at those cards took me back through the decades. It was an experience to live vicariously through this video, an opportunity to relive days gone by. I can't tell you how many starter decks and booster boxes of this set I opened back then but it was quite a few. I was introduced to the Alpha/Beta MTG in 1993 while visiting friends in Columbus Ohio. I was not a very good player and whenever I decided to join in a game my friends used to say, "Oh, we are playing "Care Bear" magic tonight." Part of the problem was any good cards I pulled went right into the collection. Thanks again to the participants for sharing this experience and thanks Joey for hosting the epic event. (OMG - older than I thought, I was in my mid-30's when Alpha Beta came out - - -gees the mind is going sooner than I expected).
I started magic right after fallen empires released, I was in the 7th grade I think. A friend had shown me his cards and how to play. But I didn't know where to buy cards at. I went into Target with my family and I checked out the sports cards area and there on the shelf, next to the basketball cards was a nearly full box of fallen empires! There was no price sticker however, so I asked a clerk if she knew how much they were. She scanned one and it came up item not found. So she looks at the product next to them which are some cheap cards, $1 per pack and says she honor that price! Even cooler! After begging my folks about it, ended up getting the remainder of the box. Thanks for the opportunity to share what I think is a kinda cool story in my life and definitely laid the groundwork for being a longtime player of this awesome game.
I found magic the gathering from a deceased friend of mine he showed me how to play magic with a small crash course and gave me a small deck of cards to start out with I still have those cards and I use some of them still to this day. He may of died from this world but thanks to my old friend Rich his spirit of the game lives on in me.
Love your channel man. I started playing magic in 1993 I was in a video game store at my local mall and I begged my mom to buy me a starter pack….I have been in and out of the game a few times.. but now that my son is old enough to play we enjoy it together and both love to watch your content
I learned about MTG from my friends, they taught me the rules and amazing stories about older MTG sets and shown me really cool cards! Thanks to that I started playing around 2012 Core Set. Seeing vintage sets being open is really an amazing experience, thanks Joey!
First time I played was just at the release of Ice Age, I was about 6 and visiting my brother in Portland not long before he went off to the marine corps, he handed me an Ice age starter pack, we both opened one up and he ran me through all the rules as we started playing with a couple of decks he had already made. I still have the Polar Kraken I pulled from that first pack. Been playing ever since on the regular, it helped to get me through some shitty times in Afghanistan, having friends and family send out cards in the care packages and teaching others the game too, but sadly no longer have most of that old stuff from selling off most of the collection in 2015 for a few hundred bucks, like an idiot, lol. Rebuilt a bit of it since and started teaching my kids the game too! Awesome video, bringing back a lot of good memories.
I started playing magic around the release of Shadows Over Innistrad. My friends were home from college and invited me over to hang out. They whipped out a commander deck centered around Erebos and gave it to me to keep and play with them. I've been playing magic ever since and exposed me to amazing creators such as yourself. I'm sad I couldn't participate in this break, but I'm looking forward to being in one as soon as possible!
I actually started when I first enlisted into the United States Marine Corps, I was will one of my best friends and he’s been playing since he was really young so to pass the time I learned how to play and eventually feel in love with it. Starters collecting more than playing after watching you and Alpha Investments on UA-cam, and never looked back. I still play IRL when I find the time and on MTG arena with my brothers who are still serving over seas and all over this great nation!
I moved to a new neighborhood after switching schools from being bullied (Probably around grade 4-5). Was somewhat shy, but I seen a bunch of kids huddled around a house corner playing a different card game. I only knew Yugioh at the time, so it was completely different. Seeing these strange land cards, and the creatures sideways. I went to a corner store nearby, and picked up an 8th edition white starter deck, and the game at the time was.. just a passing interest until grade 7. Found out my teacher Mr Gruber also played, so I would skip recess and play with him instead.. he made me appreciate the game so much more, and it spiraled my wallet out of control since.
Thanks for the great content Joey, keep up the good stuff man! SKADOOOSH!
I started playing recently. About a couple weeks before AFR came out a couple of my friends wanted us to get back into card games since we had played Pokémon in the past. They mentioned magic and after a little while of playing, I fell in love. Now, playing this game is one of the things I enjoy the most in life.
Awesome video Joey! Thanks to everyone who participated to make it possible!
I remember seeing Magic packs on the store shelves growing up, but as a younger kid I was more into Pokemon. Haha. Then in college, after one of my work shifts, I decided to hang out with two of my friends who were going to play a game. Enter, Magic the Gathering, and I was like "woah the art on this is freaking gorgeous." At the time, I didn't even think to ask what his oldest cards were, but a lot of them looked older in pretty darn good coniditon. They taught me to play Magic in 2017(?), and I started watching UA-cam videos...and shortly after I subbed to Moss Boss's channel! And have been hanging out since. My first purchase of cards was a fat pack of Origins for 25$. I don't know what else to say, thanks for reading :)
I first discovered Magic (and TCGs in general) by watching my dad and his friends play. I guess they had all been playing since '94-'95, and when I was old enough to grasp the concepts of the game, my dad bought me a Portal starter set and a Mirage starter deck for my eight birthday in 1998. I've been playing ever since, buying and receiving cards as gifts throughout the years, and I still have nearly every bit of my collection I've amassed since. Even played standard FNM at a few different points throughout the years. I've always done my darnedest to make it to every prerelease I could ever since my first one with Tenth Edition. I haven't played standard in a good while aside from Arena. I now just play casual with my friends, be it 60-card casual, commander, or Oathbreaker. I thank my dad for teaching me this game 24 years ago, and I will forever be grateful.
Love your vids, Mossboss. Hope to see more gameplay and deck videos from you in the future. Best regards to you and yours.
I started this last year during the Forgotten Realms set. During a jam session in a friend's basement, a couple of my long time D&D friends got me pumped up about the set and I couldn't resist hopping in to see what MTG is all about. I bought the Prosper Tome-Bound pre-con which started me off with an absolute mess of mechanics to keep track of. The treasure tokens got me hooked right away. So far I'm obsessed with Pirate cards/themes and have finished my first self-built deck that I finally play-tested yesterday. (It did great!) So far I'm still building on a small budget, but I'm loving how much there is to learn about this game and enjoy really thinking of mechanic synergies. Sometime in the future I really hope to put a deck together that is full of all the amazing art, old cards that you pull in a lot of your videos. I didn't think I would be into watching people opening packs, but I watched a video of yours and enjoyed your fun style, so I've caught every one since. Thanks for popping these packs so we all get to enjoy it with you!
I learned mtg from my best friend who is an amazing friend. I was at his home and he told me :,, play with me" and from that moment i am playing in every day magic and of course i wish you Joey good luck.
ty for the trip my crazy man , for 60 min s i trip to this glory days , its once again magic !! , i wish backthen to buy more boxes and keep them seald , ty again for the trip
Thanks for cracking so many packs! Makes me want to open some too! I first got into magic for about 1 year in 1994 and bought some revised and 4th edition packs, wheel of fortune would have been the best one that I still have. Now I am playing with my youngest son and losing to him regularly and loving it!
so for me ive been playing magic for roughly 6ish close to 7 years. Im currently 15 almost 16. I first discovered it after my parents divorced and my mom brought me and my brother home and said there was a guy in the house. I remember it very clearly he was sitting in the middle of the floor backwards hat and on our xbox setting things up so we could have hundreds of games to play. little later he introduced us to magic and taught me and my brother how to play. His name is Eric and he is my stepfather. Magic has brought a whole new level into my life and allowed me to meet some of the best people ive ever met.
Edit: watching these are great because of how iconic these cards are and the fact that I wasn't even close to being alive when Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, and Revised were released being only 15 years old
That is literally the best Woodshop story I’ve ever heard, & I’ve heard some good ones.
I was 16 and my older friend taught me while we were camping in the Sequoia forest of California. I've played ever since.
Epic video as always!
Welp... I got slapped in the face, but seeing that Volcanic pull was so satisfying. Thanks for the opportunity Joey!
i first discovered mtg around the release of Theros but properly started playing around the release of Khans of Tarkir. my first place playing properly was at my lgs in my local town. everyone at my lgs was very helpful and understanding. i struggle with reading the card due to being registered legally blind. i now have a six year old who is now getting into the game we have been watching your videos and enjoy every single one. i try to like all the videos when i don’t get distracted please keep doing what you do. PLA XX
I played MTG back in the Alpha-Arabian Nights days and had all my old cards from those days until my wife gave them away to a Goodwill! I never found those cards or my innocence ever again. I recently started playing again and I love your videos man! Keep it up.
Joey your content has been OFF THE CHAIN lately!!! I was at a LGS in Kingsport TN looking for Pokémon cards and the owner introduced me to magic and I was never the same haha. 2001-2002 was the start of my cardboard addiction.
Very excited for this. This was the first product I ever opened at eight years old. My dad bought me four packs at my local game store and I remember the black lotus on the wall for 300$ that I asked him for. His response was that he would be dead and buried before he ever spent that much money on a cardboard kids game.
I started playing magic when i was in middle school in 1995. Bunch of my friends and family got me started. I stopped when i got married. About a year ago a friend introduced me to commander, right when forgotten realms started. I have a collection of the books. Now i am teaching my three little ladies to play. It is awesome to see how far the game has progressed since it started and getting to share with my girls is awesome. Thanks for the videos bud. We enjoy them.
What an awesome vid! You are quickly becoming my go to channel for box openings. Your energy and passion for the game is clear.
I discovered Magic one summer while being watched by a friend of the family. They babysat everyone's kids in the summer. One of the other kids brought a portal starting deck with him to introduce me to it and I was hooked. Played off and on for the next 10 years or so and have recently fell in love with it again. I love the history, the art, the play and the community. UA-cam has a lot to do with getting back into magic.

I started playing when my brother in law brought home this pamphlet back in 2013. My wife and I had just gotten married and I remember seeing the pamphlet on the side table in our bedroom as I was going to sleep. My brain kept thinking about the pamphlet and the game's name "Magic the Gathering" and so after 5 minutes of thinking about it I decided to open the pamphlet and see what this game was all about. As soon as I finished reading I texted my wife and said it sounded like an interesting game. The next day I went to vintage stock and bought a theros fat pack. Ended up pulling my very first planeswalker from that fat pack. Xenagos, The Reveler. Thought he was amazing. I also pulled my first god, Erebos, God of the Dead. And I've been obsessed with the game ever since.
I first learned about magic when I moved to Arkansas. I played some other card games before hand and hadn’t really met anyone here yet. I went into a local shop to look at what they had as far as board games. Magic was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. One guy taught me about commander so I bought lord windgrace precon and some ixalan packs and it led to the closest friends I’ve ever had and it introduced me to my wife and now we have a beautiful baby boy named Oliver. The guy that taught me is now a godfather to my son and I’m proud to call the friends I’ve made through this game family. We still play every week.
My first encounter with magic was when I was about 10 years old. My grandfather was an avid baseball card collector, and he took me to the local baseball card shop called The Stadium. Looking back the name was quite ironic because although the card shop was on the square of our small town, it was actually down a flight of concrete steps in the basement under one of the retail stores. It was very dungeon-esque. Anyway I remember seeing all the baseball cards in the cases and the complete sets of TOPS, Donruss, Fleer, etc. But what I really remember were the starter decks of Magic The Gathering sitting on the counter top. I am almost positive these must have been Alpha or Beta and I convinced my grandfather to purchase one for me. To this day I have no idea where those magic cards went. Likely in the trash when I left them laying around. Thanks Mom!

1996 , freshman year of high school. During our lunch hour, me and some friends were walking to our local lunch hangout and found a badly damaged mtg card on the sidewalk. One of my friends knew what it was and explained the game to the rest of us. That weekend I purchased my first starter deck of 4th edition. I remember pulling a Cosmic Horror and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.
back in 1994 my friend showed me this game ("it's like D&D on cards" he said) and then convinced me to by a few packs. so i bought 2 revised starter decks and about 4 revised boosters and a couple of dark packs on his advice as well as sleeves and a clear plastic container to store them in. first pack was serra and force of nature - big 8/8 beastie. another pack was fork. needless to say my first deck was basically green :) 27 odd years later i still have those cards (and a TON more) and a bunch of empty revised packs and empty starter decks ( i dunno why - but im keeping them). this vid brings back good memories :-)
Late into my 20s, recently married and had a son, my brother came over to spend the night and play some games.
We played a "one shot" version of some D+D and he brought along some MTG decks.
I fell in love with it pretty much instantly. It was a game so complex the only way I could describe it to my wife was; the luck of poker mixed with the complexities of chess and a splash of cluedo diluted with some uno.
I was In Portugal around 1995 /1996 . had some things from Revised - the top notch was a beautiful Demonic Tutor !! Love playing the good old days ;) ! Love your videos and all the cool energy that you bring with your love for the game and cracking packs !!! Keep it up, my Ninja !!! Portugal loves you ! Please come and i will go with you to my local LGS and shoot some International content to your channel ;)
I first found out about magic about 5 years ago but didn't start playing until a year ago. I try and open a lot of packs I've never opened before just for the fun. I ordered and opened a Double Masters booster pack and pulled a Force of Will. I then ordered an MH1 pack and pulled a foil Wrenn and Six. I was super hyped. I love watching your videos because I love the thrill of cracking packs. I like you also buy the mystery boxes and things, but I do it to maybe crack into something I've never had the chance to. I got burned on my mystery boxes though lol. I also just recently became a patron. I wanna say thanks for giving me the thrill of opening sh*t when I can't do it myself!
I was at Summer Camp in New Paltz NY, when my friend Gavin was teaching me how to play Magic. He said that the more Swamps you had, the more powerful your Frozen Shade could get. "So Swamps are good to have?" I asked. "Yes." He said.
My first-time playing magic was in the 5th grade. I think it was at 4th edition. We would play during recess, and after school. About 8 years later a flood ruined all my Magic, and Pokémon cards. (God, I wish I still had them, I could have bought a house with them) After graduating I joined the ARMY. Went to Iraq and got blown up by a roadside bomb with only1 month left on my 12-month deployment. I woke up in a military hospital. Had over 50 surgeries in 4 months then finally got to go home 8 more months after that. I was lost, broken, alone, and depressed. I came across my childhood friend that got me into Magic in the first place. He still played so we went to the LCS and started playing organized magic again. Lorwyn was the set i came back to.
I first played magic at sleep-away camp. My friends brought a few decks to camp and I was instantly intrigued by how they played and how different cards did different things. The first deck I ever played with was a dinosaur tribal deck and I fell in love even now my favorite kinds of decks are tribal decks. When I got home I got some 2019 core set cards and played against my brother. Magic has changed my life.
I got into magic in the Aloha state. My friend, who I had met through a a volleyball club and got closer to over time, invited me over. We didn’t know what to do so he pulled his decks out and taught me standard. For my birthday the same guy actually got me my first precon. It was the simic standard precon from the most recent guilds of Ravnica. Through magic that guy became my best friend. I wouldn’t be the same person if I hadn’t met him. He is still one of my closest friends to date.
I was in high school. A friend of mine introduced me to MTG and gave me a deck to start playing. I got hooked immediately.
Great throw back always enjoy seeing this old openings. I started playing in the next block (iceage, 4th, ect) and am always amazed at how far the game has come. Videos like these allow me to show my children that things we engage in today can be very valuable in the future and to show your belongings a certain level of respect. Thanks for the trip down memory lane and an opportunity to show my kids the golden days.
I started to play in middle school. My buddy bought me a Fifth edition starter deck for a birthday gift and it started from there. I remember my first big single purchase was $15 for a sliver queen. Then urza block came out and I went crazy. By far my favorite block. Stopped play in about 2002 and sold my collection on ebay. I just came back about 6 months ago and am hooked again but with adult money and it's been dangerous. Love your videos!
I first played magic in a cybercoffee my parents used to go to. I did not even how to read yet. I sometimes stop playing the game for years but eventually always come back to it. It’s been almost 20 years now. Loving the content (especially the random eBay buys). Trying my luck !
I started playing magic around a year and a half ago now, I was at cousins pig roast in November like we do every year. I went into their garage to see what they were doing, and they were playing magic. They asked me if I wanted to play, and one of my cousins friends gave me their Ob Nixilis vs Nissa duel decks, and I would go over every weekend to play for a while, I still go over but not as often because high school stuff, and timing not really being the best this year, and I'm so happy they showed me this beautiful game
I started playing MTG very recently, but was with a friend who was working on a commander deck for an upcoming magic night with his roommates. It seemed super fun, and I very quickly became hooked.
I first played Magic The Gathering at my trailer park when I was 15. One of my best friends got me into it. Now we're old dudes still enjoying the game.
Thanks for bringing back memories. I started playing when revised was fairly new. Me and my friends would ride our bikes to the local game store to buy starter decks of this. I collected all the way up to the Urzas saga. Similar to your story I sold all my cards for $300. I was joining the army and since I had around 15 binders and 4 big card boxes full of cards I didn’t want the antra luggage. I’ve always been a magic player and watching you crack these older packs brings me back to my school days. Thank you for your content, MY NINJA!!
Despite the fact that this is the MTG equivalent of Pete Townsend smashing a beautiful 1957 Les Paul, I did enjoy your vid! Positivity is better than negativity...
The sun rose on that morning of the year 2015. My last year of high school had been uneventful and lack luster. I sat down next to my friends who were already deep into a conversation about my friends new deck. I had never played magic or even really seen anything about it. Curiosity did grab me and I leaned in. The excitement that my friend had as he showed his new cards made me excited for him. Looking at the cards and the art just popped. Crazy looking creatures and spells. I started asking questions and was fully encapsulated with this card game. Wanting to help keep me interested we went to our local game store after school and I picked up one of the pre-built 60 card decks, sadly I don't remember what it was called or what cards were even in it, but man it was the start of some of the greatest fun I have had with my friends.
Joey, I appreciate the opportunity that you give all us magic nuts. Thanks for the fun and exciting content. Don't ever stop.
Just recently started watching your videos.
Great stuff!!!
Brings me back to the 96' when my friends played magic. Buying all the deck packages to see What we got
