100% transparency in case the video was not clear: I have a handshake agreement with Card Kingdom. I can do as much or as little as I want, how I want, in terms of plugging them (99.9% of videos just flash my affiliate code at the end). They did not know that I bought the Legends Booster Pack (I ordered it from their website using a friend's account) or that I was going to do this VS style video. I asked if I could open 4 boxes of Collector Boosters and then give them the contents back, and they agreed, not knowing anything more than "It was for a fun video idea." That's the whole story.
It came across clear to me, and honestly I would have been completely fine with them sending the pack too. Tho it looks better on everyone that they didn't.
It was clear, honestly, in the slightly characteristic "light banter" which I have seen here before.
And I'll check them out when the time (and budget) comes for the next abomination of a Commander deck is in the pipeline. :)
@@jamesstewart8663 yeah, regardless of how people feel about him purchasing the Legends pack or not, it's a fun little experiment, and showcases some more cards in Dominaria collector boosters pretty well. Speaking for myself here, but I always get at least one bundle of a new set, and then will peruse the card list to see if anything strikes my fancy to buy individually.
People love to complain, and people will always find a way to do it, unfortunately...
I'm happy you pulled that Pendral Vale. Because otherwise you would have taken a huge loss. Buy singles!
I imagine them being like 'Yea! We got a Tabernacle!' then you explained and they went 'FUCK'
The fact that there was no hype or clickbait on this video. And you got a ridiculous pull like that is really commendable honestly
Fr, id say his integrity is underrated but honestly his kickstarter would prove that wrong lol
"YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I PULLED OUT OF AN ANCIENT MTG PACK (BLACK LOTUS LVL PRICE?!!) (AMAZING VALUE!!) (NOT CLICKBAIT)"
It vastly improved the quality of the video. My jaw dropped when I saw what he pulled because I didn't see it coming. If he had in any way implied he got a huge pull, the surprise effect would have been ruined.
@@Robert-iu2ou I was and still am very happy with his Kickstarter.
except there wasnt a disclaimer at the end of "not every pack guarantees an expensive rare. Im new to magic but not tcg and there were waaayyy to many
I feel like putting them both into slabs and having them in the background of your Professor's Desk shot, with the Tolaria having a "You are here" sign under Tolaria, and then a "Not here" sign under the Tabernacle would be the funniest use of a $3000 card and a $10 one.
I just want to let Card Kingdom know the hundreds of dollars I have spent there are because they sponsor you and you, sir, are in fact great and they should keep sponsoring you.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH JUST SAW THE LEGENDS PULLL AHHHHHHHH
Same, I’ve bought at card kingdom several times due to the prof.
@@bierakanus5463 dude save your keyboard warrior attitude for somewhere else, no one cares.
@@bierakanus5463 You shouldn't make such claims without proof
@@sburbtube6766 Should he dare not say something negative about a company? Why does he need to show proof, it is a fucking UA-cam comment.
I couldn't think of a more deserving person to open one. Thanks for the years of content Brian ❤️
That kind of card in that condition should absolutely be graded to preserve it as a piece of MTG history. Congrats in the amazing pull !
Better to play with it and take pictures
I like his idea of grading and proxy it. Some cards, though should be played, are just worth keeping as a prize. This especially because this set if from his childhood and he was rewarded for his love of magic.
I absolutely loved that casual rip followed by shear panic. Immediately “oh shite…what?!”
Ima say it: could not have happened to a better person. It’s good to see the universe occasionally step in and take care of the cool people with an drop like that.
Prof as a longtime viewer, I LOVE that you've added in the top card (money-wise) and also a tracker to tell what box and where in that box we are. It's a nice touch of polish that goes a long way!
Maybe frame both the Tabernacle and Tolaria in a 2-card frame? Its a great story and a crazy coincidence!
I think this is the best idea - probably get it slabbed and graded but figure out a way to frame it and the Tolarian Academy!
yes frame them! Super cool.
i was like 🤯
Amazing
This is my pick. Frame them and have them in the background of future videos.
Tolaria as the card after tabernacle just seems poetic
Getting Tolaria right after getting Tabernacle has to be fate for Tolarian Community College! You should absolutely get the Tolaria graded though :P
And signed
Not on the card though. On the grading sleeve/case
@@creedoflies no please don’t get it signed. Not even the graded case. Please please never touch an expensive card
@@ozmond we are talking about the Tolaria. It's $10. Signing might add value in this case.
Definitely NEVER sign the Tabernacle
@@creedoflies still I don’t think any card should be signed
Prof,
The 1-2 punch of Tabernacle into Tolaria literally brought tears to my eyes. You have devoted so much care and hard work into this community. You deserve this win.
Much Love,
Dr Black
You got that pack for yourself as a treat so treat yourself Prof! Grade it, frame it and keep it for yourself. Probably grade Tolaria too, it may not be worth as much but the fact it was right behind Tabernacle is nothing short of a sign you should keep it and it will make for a great story.
Well, I have to admit I never expected you to pull that at the end! Not sure what to do with it, but I can only imagine how cool it is to have that memory immortalized on video.
In other news, collector packs are still absurdly priced. And you gotta love that quality control of all those upside-down cards…
WHY ARE THERE UPSIDE DOWN CARDS IN A PACK, HOW, MY NOT QUITE OCD IS LOSING IT'S SHIT
Seeing as it is in (if i saw correctly) every pack, I feel like this is one of those "feature not a bug" things.
@@SatinFoxx def a bug, I opened a whole collector box and had no upside down cards. There have been complaints of a large amount of or misprints in Dominaria United. I got a foil card where half the foil part wasn't glued or made correctly and I was able to just straight up peel it off xD
The moment you flipped the rules card I saw it, I paused and I was shocked!! And then you took a moment to look at the rules card and I was screaming at my screen ''I'ts a tabernacle Prof look at the tabernacle''!! What a pull, congratulations!!
Same. Saw it right away!
Same here. As soon as he moved the rules card I caught a glimpse of what was behind it and said “Is that a fucking Tabernacle?”
I was amazed by the pack where you got both Ajani and Sheoldred, then i saw the Legends pack and was FOR REALS shook
I love how visibly shakey Prof's hand is after *the moment* . Who could possibly blame him?
Well done Prof. I'm so glad it worked out, even if thats a bit excessive. WOTC is doing their best to break your "buy singles" mindset.
GET THE SLEEVE!!!
I was smiling like an idiot seeing that Tabernacle! It was great to see someone like the prof hit the jackpot like this, especially after all he's done for our community.
45:35 - The second you moved that rules card away, I literally said out loud "NO WAY...."
That is amazing! Few people will ever know that kind of feeling opening MTG cards, especially today (not unless they open older legacy sets)!
I said the same exact thing only my mouth stayed open
I think a lot of people thought or spoke that out loud. Same here... I skipped a bit through and was when he flipped the rules card and was like... Is that tabernacle.... Am I stupid.... Is that tabernacle skipped back..... What... 🤣🤣🤣 So funny he pulled it while it's the poster card for the dominaria collected boosters
And this is the second time he opened a tabernacle
I love the legacy sets!! Amazing pull!
I love how you did this vid, prof. From the no clickbait no nonsense title, to the untamperable setup, and the honest unfiltered reaction to the legends booster pack opening. Keep up the good work!
You should sign tolaria and frame it! You should definitely get the Tabernacle graded, and use a proxy if you ever grow cruel enough to put it in a commander deck. CONGRATS!!!! What a huge win 🥰
Signing the tolari is just the same as defacing the card. Better to sign a sleeve, put it in that and then frame it.
This is why the prof is the perfect face of mtg. Saved by the game. Loved by the gamers. And no dirty click bait. You deserve that prof, congrats!
For my personal play (which is all commander now), my personal rule is that if I own one copy of any given card, I am allowed to proxy said card in any of my decks. Therefore, I’m in the camp of getting the Tabernacle graded, since a PACK FRESH tabernacle is something that very few will ever get to hold in their hands at this point, and should be preserved.
I also think you definitely should get the Tolaria graded and displayed somewhere, maybe even on the “set”. It’s exactly on brand, and it feels almost fated that that came into your hands, after all the time and effort you’ve put into Magic and the community.
Soooo mana crpyt for all of your decks? xD
@@brianpenner9286 why not, if he has it he could just switch it around and use it everytime he played any deck. It just saves the hassle and protects the card.
I have the same rule.
Just proxy regardless. Bring appropriate decks to appropriate tables. I haven't bought ANY singles in almost 2 years, but I still give my lgs plenty of love with sleeves and boxes
My playgroup has the same rules... Gaea's Cradle in every creature-heavy edh deck. Working to complete my OG duals collection
I don't think I would have been anywhere near that composed if I had opened a Tabernacle, lol~ Absolutely incredible pull! I love the idea of using it to fund more Shuffle Up & Play, though, it's such a wonderful series! And 'grats on the Tolaria-really pretty appropriate!
Don't worry, prof. I don't think I can even afford a legends booster pack xD
Who wants to buy a booster where the best card is only 3x the pack’s price anyway?
Dominaria United has cards 8x-10x the pack price, so clearly it’s a better set. Right?!?
/s
A fellow brother in arms.
You're not alone
Same lol
A legends booster pack can barely afford itself
Loved this video Prof! What a reveal! Someone else mentioned already no clickbait on the pull, I love that. I feel like I really won a prize for making it to the end and experiencing that "...***..."
I really honestly advocate for playing with these game pieces and I have a few NM Gaea's cradle that are double sleeved and in decks. But honestly, if I pulled a pack fresh tabernacle, I'd absolutely get it graded, that one especially looks worth grading! Congratulations on the absolutely fantastic pull!!!
I like this argument for most expensive game pieces, but this is an old used car! Feel like he should get it graded and put the proceeds toward a charity raffle or auction or something like that.
I'm stupid.I stopped double sleeving when I started playing Magic instead of just collecting them.Way to much hassle for me.
That made me so happy 😊❤️ I remember the other video with Rudy where you also opened a tabernacle. Congrats! Ask Rudy what you should do. Seriously. Grading seems to have been cheapened quite a bit over recent years.
That Tabernacle looks like it fits right into a certain Brion Stoutarm deck! It flings away most of it's creatures anyway.
That was incredible! I’m so happy for you! The fact that Tolaria was behind the Tabernacle was a sign it was meant to be!!!
Absolutely get the Tabernacle graded, at the very least. If you do decide to sell it to generate more funds for Shuffle Up and Play, it will go further graded than not; if you decide to keep it, it becomes a fantastic conversation piece, and as you mentioned, you can always proxy the card for play purposes. That was a spectacular moment, and it absolutely made the video. I've seen similar moments on other pack opening channels, but it just hit different here, knowing this was a personal purchase.
My jaw dropped at having the amazing experience of witnessing a tabernacle opened on video pack fresh. This is definitely one for the recorded history of magic thank you so much professor! And yeah definitely slab it and frame it or sell it off to evil Rudy ;)
Your reaction was almost as priceless as the card you were holding at the end there.
What a wild ride of a video. Frame that tabernacle (and the tolaria too) and proxy them for games. But more importantly, add them to the set. Then when you draw the proxy in a game you can point to the framed cards and link to this video
I love the fact that you did not mention anything about the contents of the Legends pack in the video title. Very classy and it allowed me to be almost as surprised as you were 🙂
Really happy for you! Cheers!
You got so emotional when you saw the Tabernacle! I love it! 🤩 In my opinion, you should get it graded. That will be a good memory and make you smile when you see it ^^ you could always proxy one to play, after all you have the original 😂 have a nice day and be safe. Love ya'll! ❤️
What a rush, Prof. Unbelievable luck with you and Legends packs! There's nobody I'd rather see have the magic touch. Congratulations on the amazing pull!
thats no luck, thats destiny
For all that Prof has done for MtG he absolutely deserved that open.
I'd say that the Tabernacle should be absolutely graded (at least for preservation, it's a PACK FRESH TABERNACLE!) and then either sold for financing all your hobbies (that's at least 100 pauper decks!) or video products you wished for (and getting the 1000 bucks back!), or you could put it on auction for charity, linking it to this video to spice up the price a bit, with the clause of retaining ofc a minimum amount to pay yourself back (depending on how YOU feel about it.)
Absolutely love to see you so giddy of getting your youth back at that small 1000$ price!
That reaction put a stupid big smile on my face, I hope you enjoy some of the new cards (and old). Lots of solid pick ups for a few bucks or less folks. Grab a play set of those pain lands now, they’re solid lands for commander anytime.
Tolaria is actually pretty good for the Legendary tribal strategies around now. 5c Sisay, for example, can pull it straight from deck as ramp and for an untapped blue source.
Prof spent years convincing me to buy singles and single handly destroy all this conditioning with one pack of legends. I guess now the only thing left is to order ton of seal product to open to catch up on lost time. Thanks a lot Prof !
I literally watched the opening of the pack and was "oh he'll get 11 30 cent commons, 3 3 dollar uncommons and let's say a 5 dollar rare... so $20" Then when he was playing around with the booklet, I was "wait... is that a... no effing way" and then he revealed and I was gobsmacked"
Unfortunately, there are no 5 dollars pack fresh rares from Legends. Maybe lowest are 20 or so... Still only a few cards that are above 200, so not easy to pull it off...
Congratulations! I don't play magic that much more these days, but it will always have a place in my heart. It helped me develop skills and comprehension that I find useful in many different facets of life.
I'm very excited for you as you have such a genuine passion and excitement for the game that represents the community in a positive way.
May you find continued success in your channel and life!
Such an amazing pull. Tolarian Community College opening a Tolaria! Who could have seen that coming?
I can’t imagine how ecstatic you had to be to open that! I was jumping out my seat for you lol! It’s crazy to think that there are still gems like that sitting around in packs that will never be opened
You gotta play that Tabernacle, unsleeved, on the gravel the way Garfield intended.
Alternatively, it would make an insane prize for your next charity event! Not only a big value item, but the story behind it with this video and your connection to Legends makes it more valuable than the graded price tag to your fans, it would be great for that dollar amount to go to a good cause!
thank you prof. it was so much fun to watch. I am so happy you opened a tabernacle. so much more fun and exciting than buying singles ;)
14:37, Box 1, $131.32.
24:17, Box 2, $165.18.
33:57, Box 3, $144.35.
44:03, Box 4, $273.35...
But the experience was priceless!
As for the Legends Booster Pack, see 45:15.
Couldn't have happened to a better person! Congratulations! This really made me smile.
The way my jaw hit the floor when I saw Tabernacle! My mouth was agape for a solid 5 minutes! Wow! What a pull! 🎉
I come home from a long day at work and start watching this video. The lack of value through the Collectors' Packs starts to put me to sleep. I decide to go brush my teeth. Prof moves the rules insert and I spray toothpaste foam all over the bathroom mirror! Unbelievable... absolutely a great moment for us white border ancients. Thank you for giving me such excitement and nostalgia!!!
You have no idea how happy my girlfriend and I were for you when you opened the tabernacle... we were both in silence and then started laughing 🤣 keep up the great content and great to hear what you're using it for. You're brilliant 👏
Awesome and fitting ending after most of the collector boosters were duds. Glad to see a big hit at the end. Also, thanks Prof for showing the rules card from the legends booster. It's cool to see that history. I had forgotten how the old legend rule worked.
DUDE MY HEART SKIPPED WHEN I SAW THE TABERNACLE! NOW FREAKING WAY! Prof you rock! you're amazing and I am so happy this happened to you and I am excited to get the grey and red Academic from you in a few months
I would print a nice screenshot of this episode. Sign it, frame it nicely with the cards & display it. I just heard a batter hit one out of the park, what a perfect pack you opened; wow! I enjoyed this vid; well done. Thanks for the content.
You deserve such luck. You deserve the card because of your contributions to the magic community. Kudos to you prof!👍🎉
Literally anyone else would have had some huge headline about some crazy pull. Props to you for keeping the surprise!
My very first pack of Legends that I opened in '94, pulled a Dakkon Blackbkade. Still got him!
These days I have a full set of Legends. 🎉
Save it and frame it and put in the background. You did it! You opened the magic time capsule! Keep it to remember forever. Some things deserve to be in a museum so everyone can see, and now it can be immortalized in each of your future videos in the background forever!
Well, that’s about as lucky as it gets with that Legends booster…
Oh wow ! This is spectacular! I stumbled while walking with my kid, thinking what professor is up to!
I can’t imagine the rush you got from
opening one of the most wanted cards in MTG history!
I can online dream of owning one! Would be epic for my Legacy maverick deck!
I think you should double sleeve and put it into a deck and enjoy it! If you are concerned, than frame it! It’s to
be enjoyed ! You deserve it proff!
Really nice opening Prof, you deserve it! You should keep Tabernacle with you during events as a token of fortune.🍀
I myself just yesterday opened two Battle for Baldur's Gate draft boosters and one of them had two Ancient Gold Dragon in it one of which was a Rulebook alternate art one! I'm now a proud dragon owner.😁
Congrats Prof! And as these other comments have said, kudos for no click bait. Really amazing to see one pulled fresh from a great content creator!
The Tolaria should join your various other set pieces behind you! I would get the tabernacle graded
I miss my Tabernacle. :( It was one of my favorite cards that got stolen years ago. Took forever to trade for it. Glad to see you pulled one from a fresh pack. I opened a pack years ago and, well, my rare was a bit more underwhelming. Nova Pentacle. Although neat, it definitely didn't make me feel good about buying a $60 pack of Legends (at the time, heh).
I just started getting back into Magic a few months ago after being away for nearly 2 decades. Honestly, your enthusiasm for the game is absolutely infectious and has me binging through your content to catch up!
Ive Literally been doing the same. Hah
WOW!!! the integrity of this video truly shows what tcc is about. much love from a new mtg collector and player!!!!
Frame it and put it up on the office wall, It’s quite a story! Glad you had some good luck with the legends pack Prof. You definitely deserve it for all the good will you’ve given this community over the years!
Congratulations, Professor! My heart jumped when I saw the reveal. I am so very happy for you. I'd keep in at home and enjoy it!
I'm not sure how you think of these videos, but they are always amazing!
Glad you like them!
I'm out of magic since many years now but I come to watch a video from time to time and boy oh boy am I happy to not have missed this one. Love your genuine happiness about the tabernacle. Happy for you. Also, a card worth that much - get it graded.
I've uncracked a handful of graded Alpha cards this year to play in Alpha 40, and, in general, hate to see cards slabbed. In this case, this would look great graded and placed between the Fallen Empires and Homelands booster boxes on your shelves. The contrast is just too funny.
Love how he fiddles with the rules card and partially obscures the card below it. I was like, "Wait, is that really...!"
I would vote to play it, since cards are meant to be played :P
It's the most expensive card used in Legacy lands decks, so that's a plus.
But if you do want to put it back into shuffle up and play, get it graded first - it'll significantly increase the sale price, and both PSA and BGS iirc will let you put a custom phrase on the label if you ask (usually for denoting a card as part of a specific collection - "The Tolarian Collection" on the back would be a good little momento, and the distinguishment could also boost the value).
My original idea to tie into shuffle up was to make it a prize of sorts, but I figured I'd mention it here as well to say you shouldn't do that, since it would go against the overall feel of the series by adding stakes.
Tolaria was the signature on a very cool content that you deserved to do. Zero spoilers/clickbait in the title, great admiration from Italy despite that note of contempt on our card versions 😂
I'm not sure if this is a new addition in this video, but I really like the top card tracker. I always watch these at 1.5x speed so it's interesting when some of the music you choose starts hitting really hard :)
I would definitely slab it, get a proxy and play with the proxy. Keep the slabbed tabernacle on your shelf or at home where you can enjoy looking at it as a piece of nostalgia. I have a few cards I’ve done that with (not as expensive of course!)
I am very new to MTG. My entrance to the game started opening double masters 22. Bought single pack from draft box, got 3x value. Was pumped, went to buy a box of draft and collector box. Made almost breakeven, then found your channel, realized opening packs (cracking it seems to be called ) was just for hobbyists. Buy SINGLE must be a motto for any MTG player i think who wants to enjoy the game.
I enjoy playing the game, and love cracking packs which gives me the singles I need. Yes I have to buy the older singles as I won't pay the price for packs for older sets, but opening up DMU and newer sets is great. I opened a Dominaria United fat pack and tripled my value. Covered the cost of it with the foil borderless Liliana.
@@willipic Are there fat packs of DMU? I thought they where replaced by Jumpstart packs if DMUC.
@@JoeyBBiden Yes there are.
I loved the second half very much! Cool cards in the Dominaria United, but that record scratch "holy shit" for the Legends pack was amazing! I laughed so damn hard!
I really like the original idea: get it graded with the knowledge you can just proxy it into any deck you have. Keeps the original safe and increases its resale value as an investment but also lets you keep it as long as you like so you can play with it. And if you don't have the graded copy on you when you play the proxy, this video is a convenient proof that you do, in fact, own a pack fresh Tabernacle. Very nice pull and thank you, again, for the reminder to not buy packs for the sake of opening them.
Legit my heart leaped out when I saw that was what you pulled from the pack. This was a good watch and I deeply enjoyed it. What to do with the card. I say you are right on both parts, cards were made to be played. Then also to have the card sent off for grading and a proxy used. You do have the card and use of a proxy for it should never be an issue.
That's some god-tier luck getting Tabernacle. But yeah, there's no way for me in my "back to school" shick that I'll be able to open up a Collector BB and/or a Legends Booster Pack. It is always a BLAST watching your content
i may be below novice when it comes to MTG but love hearing prof's commentary and love seeing his outfits!
Personally there would be no contemplation on that. That Tabernacle would be getting graded. Normally I'm against doing this, but something like that is a piece of MTG history and should be protected for the future. Just the experence of pulling something like that after all these years later is just insane. Congrats on the pull Professor!
Absolutely grade it!
Congrats, and thanks for the honesty in your work here! You've thoroughly convinced me to avoid purchasing boxes and enjoy deck building through singles.
Sometimes good things just happen to good people. Congrats Prof!
That smile at the end of the video was great. Congratuations!
Yay! Another video from the Professor! 💖
More to come!
Get the sleeve!
Congratulations, the tip card brought me back! Thanks for sharing.
You should definitely send in the card to get graded.
The soft ambient music in the background while opening…. I don’t even play magic but I enjoyed this and watched to the end.
Prof PLEASE keep that card. I know it has sentimental value to you so for your inner collector PLEASEEEE keep it
After the last game video, I'm SO happy to have the regular music and sound effect back. Love the highest card sticking around, though!
That Legends pack opening was killer
This is, no joke, the best Magic pull on UA-cam. Between the message of the video, the excitement, and The Personal Meaning behind it? Screw some investor pulling a Lotus. THIS is Magic Gathering done right.
I tried this in the middle of the street. The results, though interesting, were less than ideal compared to what I would imagine it would be like if I had tried this at home instead.
15 years ago I bought a beat-up Tabernacle for $20CAD at my LGS for an EDH deck. I stopped playing for a while shortly thereafter. In 2016 I was going through a rough patch and started going to Commander nights at YJ to get out of the house. Played the Tabernacle in my Selenia deck and got a lot of side-eye from the other players. Suffice it to say I was surprised! Quite a welcome back to the game. I was tempted to sell it then, but don’t regret holding onto it for a while. Magic is truly much more than a game.
Amazing pulls, and no-one deserves them more than you.
very. congratulations on the tabernacle pull.
your joy for the game continues to shine through
My favourite booster cracking channel! I could only afford singles that I want, but TCC has shown me the true way to enjoy these wonderful products. Cracking packs!
