Main thing is don’t buy Magic expecting to get your money back, nevermind earning profit on resale. Factor in the fun and enjoyment of opening it and making great discoveries, and often enough the entertainment value can alleviate the sting of financial loss.
@@Zjivarra I was happy to hit about 50% when I bought boxes. And even if you manage an alpha box, the odds of it not being resealed or having that mint 10 black lotus worth 5 million are next to none.
I got a dominaria united set booster box and i pulled a sheoldred as well as an anointed procession from the list reprint slot. Needless to say it was a goodd box.
I usually just buy singles but I really like foundations and started getting in to standard not just commander so I found I wanted to buy a few boxe's of foundations and duskmourn cause I really liked the set but if I don't find I like a set so much I'll just buy singles. Sometimes you score if money is your thing but I've pulled expensive cards like bloodthirsty conqueror but I enjoy them mostly for playing standard.
Merry axemas. I bought my first booster box in 5 years cause of foundations not to crack but to Phantom draft with friends. I plan to buy a second with the Canadian tax savings to store for even more drafts. Been having so much fun with a magic set that feels like old pure magic.
@8thPlaceDave my bank account is not going to be happy with all the money I'll be dropping on final fantasy in June. Anything you want to see that is not the usual suspects? Me is the original 6 classes as backgrounds or as legendary creatures. I desperately want a Red Mage as it is my favorite job class. I also would love to see crystal Chronicles stuff!
@@HadesElderSage Yeah I'm planning to go DEEP on that set. I'm really hoping they including characters from Final Fantasy Tactics, since that's my favourite game in the series. It has some really cool lore to it.
@@8thPlaceDave I think with how big Tactics is there will be a few cards from it. I am so excited to see where they go with this set cause it can go so many ways with battles, backgrounds, classes, etc etc etc.
What if you try to do the same thing with a sealed box of cards like you did with a Jeweled Lotus? I bet MTG North would try to win it, and maybe even open it?
You use TCGMid prices but talk about selling to buylists, meaning the real “value” extracted unless you wanna spend a bunch of time listing $0.75 lands is quite a bit lower
May I know what cards we can use to fetch those lands?@@JudgeAnnibal And I love card like Tiller Engine from Painbow precon, with tiller engine, all tap lands can comes in untapped
+ Archelos, Lagoon Mystic, these two cards (Tiller Engine) are great, sadly they are usually get removed/ exiled ... If we protect them well, they are great 😃
Bro, I wish you didn't pay taxes in some stuff in Brazil, or at least lower taxes. Video games have been in the gambling category since decades ago, and that makes them super expensive for no reason. the price of a ps5 is 50% just taxes. Yes, it makes the console's price double just out of unjust taxes
1 cut down per box, nice...
@@Pravinoz I bought a box for less than $100, and I only got one cut-down, the rest was trash IMO. I ended up just buying two Sheoldreds later.
@@zikegladion6848 Yah, if you want value buy singles. Only buy boxes for fun or if you're running a LFGS.
Buy the card if you want value, but buy the box if you want fun.
This is a very reasonable take
@@8thPlaceDave Blame the Professor. He said that a long long time ago and it's still true. (Well he said, "if you want value buy singles.")

You can also get Sheoldred in the jumpstart packs from DMU. Those are selling for dirt cheap. If you want to gamble some more. Give that a shot too.
@@Zjivarra I actually pulled sheoldred out of jumpstart not even realizing you could do that haha
lol I literally just uploaded the first of four DMU Jumpstart box breaks today 😂
I like this set. There is a lot of usable cards in it.
It's only gst taxe break 5% in Canada
Casually breaks the 4th wall
i just want Wizard of the coast to bring back to old style of boxes, no draft no play no set just a booster box thats it.
Daves a little confused, but he's got the spirit :D
Good buy for $100. I can never seem to find those deals in Canada. Great video.
Can you enlighten me on the project? What is its utility?

Boosters are for drafts with friends =)

Thanks, Dave! Finished the video - now I'm googling why tf taxes are suspended and planning my trip 🤣
I didn't realize its 13 in Ontario that's wild. Berta still 5% on tax
Yay! We love profit.
if pricing is not standard pricing then i would start raging
i got two sheoldred in my box
I’ll never get opening boxes hoping for singles, even to resell

Someone did a trip to 401 games or bought online?
$90 USD is pretty good.
I'll take one proxy pls
Still love the set,people still do not agree with me😂
Im sorry. Why are the tap lands value?? Theyre awful.
They have basic land types so they're fetchable - useful in Pauper. It's not big value but it's higher than all other common taplands.
@JudgeAnnibal ahh i didnt notice that. Thank you.

@@OhkapiLotR land cyclers, typically. Lorien, Troll, etc
Buy singles
Yall around here can proxy all you want leave us alone

Average box.

Proxy. Stop feeding them money.
