Definitely prefer this pricing system. Obviously there's no way to know which cards make it and which ones become bulk, but most of the boxes being roughly the value of what you paid seems more correct. As always, just buy singles though.
Huge kudos for adjusting your price approach. No longer feels like a fluff segment overhyping a set. Actually seems like a levelheaded peek into what we can expect.
I think so. It can’t account for everything but the rule of thumb for prerelease prices does tend to be “cut it in half.” It also supports what you’re saying about each card as you evaluate their impact on the game. Putting the verge lands at $6ish for example. Saying “these are good, not great” and then they’re $20+ each… gives mixed signals! Overall a great change and makes it much easier to take your thoughts at face value.
I’d argue a lot of horrors look goofy too. Fear of Failed Tests has some really cringe flavour text. And Fear of Immobility is just a deer with ghost heads. I think the really good looking creatures are the demons. The withered look makes them much scarier than the rest of the set.
Your videos are super inspiring. I have been thinking about getting into magic and your videos helped me pull the trigger. So i sold some personal things and bought 2 commander decks, 2 standard decks, and 2 booster boxes .Then yesterday, someone broke into my truck and stole all of it!! Im shattered. I dont know if i could ever afford that much again. But none the less I'll still watch your videos and live vicariously though you! Keep up the awesome content!!!
I think the idea of the humans is spot on. Most of the humans in horror movies are usually wrecked by the end….. Most of them seem to be at the beginning of the adventure.
my chase cards this set is definitely the fracture foiled JP showcase overlords (particularly OL of the Balemurk), texture foiled Valgavoth, and a foiled special guest Damnation.
Im thinking about content about prices. So you still could show the presale prices. But for example do a summary video at the end of year with info how each set from this year goes. What are current prices of those boxes and what is the final result.
You opening the green leyline so many times reminds me during one pre-release I opened 3 coax of the blind eternities 2 in by sealed pool and one in my prize pool, that made me stop opening sealed products in general outside my weekly draft night. It really put a bad taste in my mouth for sealed products
Great unboxing as always! I like that you discuss the card playability and themes rather than boomer ranting and griping about card values. It’s unfortunate that these videos also attract the audience addicted to cardboard speculation because my god some of the comments are bitter and nasty 😂
This is one of the first sets I am planning on opening a good amount of since Lord of the rings (which happend due to getting the gift bundles for $45 each) my main hope is that I don't get any of my cards in Japanese that I want to keep, or if I do that I get another in english.
so there is a 1% of fractured foil in the final slot, and a 1% of the textured foil double exposure so they are even rareness wise, technically the japanese ones are rarer, but also in a japanese collector box they would all be in japanese for the fractured foil ones. if I got a valgavoth, wandering rescuere or kaito in that textured foil double exposure I would be super excited.
As a person who doesn’t like horror, this set looks cool and definitely feels unique from Innistrad. On the other hand, for Seth to only go +$58 on the presale prices is pretty rough for the monetary value of the set (even with the mitigations)
I wish the artists who made the fear cards had more freedom. Right now the art is very hit or miss, but mostly miss. The best fear has to be Fear of Surveillance. It’s because it’s more abstract and the goofy ghost faces kinda blend with the background.
3 Feedback Points: 1. Love the new pricing scheme. 2. To be fair to the humans on Duskmorne, a lot of them are supposed to be survivors, people who were born and grew up in the living, spoopy house. I feel like you'd grow numb to that if it was the norm since you were little. 3. The edge treatment on that fractured foil card looks like the same silver sparkly foil treatment they used to put on pogs or vending machine stickers, that sort of thing. I'm sure it makes the card pop, but to me I can't help feeling it looks a bit kiddy, tacky, and cheesy.
i would love if you could show in the edit the last price of the last card often look away for just a second and i miss it, or just have it shown a second longer xD i love to do other stuff next to watch this and this basicly makes it so hard to watch maybe even show the highest priced card in the corner ... (or are we at this point just copying the prof xD)
I wonder if the absurd number of copies of cards is due to certain other cards having way more treatment variants, they increase the chances of the low variable cards so you don't get flooded with each variant of a particular, expensive card.
The art for the monsters and demons and such is awesome. I think the human art is a big cheesy, but maybe that makes sense for a 80's horror movie set.
So it looks like 10% of the time you will get one of the japanese showcase cards in foil 1% of which will be fractured, 3% to get a foil special guest, and 1 % to get a foil double exposure.
2:55 I love black enchantment destruction but I wish WotC would have done something interesting with it instead of just colorshifting white and green. I need some unique black enchantment destruction!
Marvin is going to be a staple in trazen the infinite decks. If they are both out, you get all activated abilities of artifacts in your graveyard and any activated abilities in play.
You can buy all the cards already at presale. I just deduced 40 or 50% off those prices to try to make it more realistic since presale prices are always super inflated.
People keep asking if the Verge lands are good. River of Tears was played in Modern FOR-EH-VER. Yeah. They're good. Also, I think Saffron opening these boxes has talked me out of buying a box. Just seems like the definition of "buy singles."
Recommendation/Request: please get a little card stand to display the best cards as you pull them 🙏
a scrabble letter holder would be nice, maybe stain it a nice color
How about no
Ohh, that's actually a sweet idea! I'll see if I can get one for next time.
Eat ur fist@@bradcallahan3546
No this a great idea man!
Didn’t expect a tier list of all of Seth’s fears while opening the packs
Number one: opening Leyline of Mutation
@@laurentrobitaille2204 Number Two: Withering Torment
Me either lol
Tears for seths fears.

46:45 "Urine monstrosity". The quality content i watch Seth for
He just powered through it. It got me bad 😂
i fucking died
Came here to say this lol
I stopped the video to come say something.
Tbh URINE MONSTROSITY does sound pretty scary and therefore fits the theme perfectly
Seth’s 9/11 joke was so wild in this 😂
That shit got me laughing so hard
It just came out of nowhere
JUST LIKE NINE EL-
@@XenobladeXSupremacy i want to hear it so bad where in the video is it
@@prod.fffeedback767933:20
i love the horror and nightmares but the humans look like they directly from scooby do xD
It's pretty much a partial scooby set
Totaly agree. Was kinda excited when it got announced but it is just another unhinged funny set like MKM or OTJ.
I’d argue a lot of horrors look goofy too. Fear of Failed Tests has some really cringe flavour text. And Fear of Immobility is just a deer with ghost heads.
I think the really good looking creatures are the demons. The withered look makes them much scarier than the rest of the set.
yup
@@laurentrobitaille2204 a bit goofy is fun, but with teh humans they overdid the goofy

Either booster boxes have gotten smaller, or this guy's hands are huge.
Refreshing to hear someone that likes this set. Im a huge horror fan, original innistrad is what really got me into magic. Looking forward to this set
I think the idea of the humans is spot on. Most of the humans in horror movies are usually wrecked by the end….. Most of them seem to be at the beginning of the adventure.
i love how i zoned out while watching the video in the background, and just zone back in to hear "i dont want to drown. burning alive also would suck"
Really appreciated the effort you put into trying to account for the price drops. The bigger pulls were way more satisfying that way!
Seth, you are the best! You are so awesome and make me so happy :) Your videos always cheer me up.
Thanks!
The pricing system you use was a great idea - very helpful - thanks Seth!
I love the new pricing system you used, felt much more realistic.
didn't expect seth to mention "would you rather". love that movie
my chase cards this set is definitely the fracture foiled JP showcase overlords (particularly OL of the Balemurk), texture foiled Valgavoth, and a foiled special guest Damnation.
The Urine Monstrosity 46 minutes in gave me serious Folsom Street Fair Asparagus Golden Shower Horror energy
6:55 If you flip the abhorrent oculus off of manifest dread you don't have to exile 6 cards! Just be lucky and its great
You can also reanimate it with cheap reanimation spells
Better lucky than good, as they say.
25:52 Still the most iconic Nico moment for me is the slow motion scene from Royal Tenenbaums with Nico singing These Days
22:49 Little black monster in the card art. You'll know him when you see him.
they literally did the meme
card: 😐
card, japan: 😱
Fracture foil for $30 is wild I would be buying them for this price all day
Tcg got them like 500-1800
Yeah right now there's only 2 sellers on TCG with the lowest being $1752.
@@MrOrthoclase For the Japanese or English ones?
English ones are priced about $300 Canadian up here. 🫠
I saw that price and was like, "well better get my preorders in for $30....." Needless to say, i didn't end up ordering any
I stayed because of the usual quality of your content. but you got my like for the good boy :D
Pricing adjustments make sense. Nice one Seth
The verge lands are pretty sweet in 2 color decks and a little bit inconsistent in three color and above decks.
Ursine Monstronsity becomes "Urine Monstrosity." Favorite pronunciation ever.
Love these videos Seth. Do good to see 5 boxes at once. 🎉
I WANT a fractured foil so bad!!! Looks great!
Love this set. Love the flavor. Great mechanics! Just in time for Halloween! Great!
Everywhere Land = Nightmare Before Christmas forest where Jack goes through the doors to different Holidays.
Im thinking about content about prices. So you still could show the presale prices. But for example do a summary video at the end of year with info how each set from this year goes. What are current prices of those boxes and what is the final result.
The watermark Seth likes is when the normal version of a planswalker back then is now a creature.
You opening the green leyline so many times reminds me during one pre-release I opened 3 coax of the blind eternities 2 in by sealed pool and one in my prize pool, that made me stop opening sealed products in general outside my weekly draft night. It really put a bad taste in my mouth for sealed products
The casual Urza's saga boxes as background 🤌
Maybe do a couple boxes presale and a couple boxes after it comes out where there is still a preview and then more of an accurate price later
Great video! Thanks coach Steve
Great unboxing as always! I like that you discuss the card playability and themes rather than boomer ranting and griping about card values. It’s unfortunate that these videos also attract the audience addicted to cardboard speculation because my god some of the comments are bitter and nasty 😂
Did not have Seth singing on my bingo sheet, but I'm here for it!
I like the more realistic pricing 🎉
Entity Tracker everyone in my family thought you said titty tracker. Great laugh!😂
Arabella and the mindskinner are my favorite cards from this set mostly Arabella and her toy friends
Grievous wound is going to combo nicely with astorian and exquisite blood
dude these cards look so sick
This is one of the first sets I am planning on opening a good amount of since Lord of the rings (which happend due to getting the gift bundles for $45 each) my main hope is that I don't get any of my cards in Japanese that I want to keep, or if I do that I get another in english.

Pricing system much better. Keep it up.
I'm going to need you to make an official tier list of fears now XD
44:55 i never thought i'd see seth so excited over a white bordered card
I somehow expected you to rip the withering torment in half on sight ^^'
Almost.
As a person who doesn’t like horror, this set looks cool and definitely feels unique from Innistrad. On the other hand, for Seth to only go +$58 on the presale prices is pretty rough for the monetary value of the set (even with the mitigations)
As a Horror fan i kinda want this set to have prices stay down so i can collect them all lol
16:39 Seth becomes mickey mouse
I wish the artists who made the fear cards had more freedom. Right now the art is very hit or miss, but mostly miss.
The best fear has to be Fear of Surveillance. It’s because it’s more abstract and the goofy ghost faces kinda blend with the background.
Those Japanese cards look sick enough to make me want the entire set of Japanese cards haven’t wanted that since strikhaven
I really like the verge lands but I'm biased towards tainted lands
First Box I got a Fracture Foil Overlord of the Boilerbilges (English) very happy

I really need to pull a foil etch Wanderer because I can already tell these foil etches are going to be expensive, especially valgavoth
was super excited for the art on this set
The art for the monsters and demons and such is awesome. I think the human art is a big cheesy, but maybe that makes sense for a 80's horror movie set.
Topiary stomper has one upside vs overlord: it can become a creaure sooner after playing it in the late game although flicker effects etc.
I've been horrified my entire life of losing my teeth. Can confirm the fear is very real.
22:55 The Meathook Massacre II you pulled is the "Lurking Evil" version
Edit: Also at 26:01, Cursed Recording
Maybe next time you can pull a RAzerkin Needlehead.
Two back to back is crazy lmao
My guy has a death grip on those cards they are bending all over the place
So it looks like 10% of the time you will get one of the japanese showcase cards in foil 1% of which will be fractured, 3% to get a foil special guest, and 1 % to get a foil double exposure.
2:55 I love black enchantment destruction but I wish WotC would have done something interesting with it instead of just colorshifting white and green. I need some unique black enchantment destruction!
I think the verge lands are better than the check lands but A tier still.
I think Seth mispronounces stuff on purpose. Love it. Here for it.
Sweet new Silver border cards lol
Marvin is going to be a staple in trazen the infinite decks. If they are both out, you get all activated abilities of artifacts in your graveyard and any activated abilities in play.
If they continue with this pricing approach, almost all singles prices will drop significantly when rotating to modern.
I want big demon valgivoth and massacre II for my Athreos apostle deck. Lol
What was the final count of the “would you rather” card? Feels like there was one in every other pack lol
Sorting your openings like you're Yertle the turtle king of the pond...
Seth you’re my guy but Nico didn’t sing After Hours. It was VU’s drummer Maureen Tucker
boiler biggles is CRAZY
I don't understand how you can list prices on a set that isn't released yet.
They are speculative prices that places are doing as "preorder" prices I believe.
You can buy all the cards already at presale. I just deduced 40 or 50% off those prices to try to make it more realistic since presale prices are always super inflated.
I thought these didn't come out until next Friday?
Wish WotC printed yu gi oh. These are clean
Honestly should all be released on the same day
People keep asking if the Verge lands are good. River of Tears was played in Modern FOR-EH-VER. Yeah. They're good.
Also, I think Saffron opening these boxes has talked me out of buying a box. Just seems like the definition of "buy singles."
I did some math and 0.3% of the time is 1 in 333 packs. Means you have to open 28 boxes to get one. Def need to be lucky 😅
Considering boxes are like $230 each that's an absurd amount of money to open a single one.
OVERLORD OF THE BOILER BIGGLES 🤣🤣 its boiler BILGES like bilgewater
No black & red :(
38:08 idk about what going 5 plus years without social interaction you would go insane
Wish I could open this many boxes but I'm broke af xD
All your emotions sound the same I can’t even tell if you’re genuinely excited or not
The green leyline is disappointing to me. Because it isn't green, it's WUBRG. 😢
I got 4 collector booster boxes at 194 Each so if this sample shows anything ill make my money back. :p
once it's release... will lose 40% of value
Wizards said 1/4th of the time you pull a Japanese Showcase it will be in Japanese.
Comments that didn't age well
"Abhorrent Oculus....I think it's a trap" followed by "maybe the worst rare in the set omnivorous flytrap"
Boilerbiggles 😂
these are people who live in this world. its the "norm"
