Fun story. Last sunday was commander night at my local LGS. They charge $10 and you can pick two set booster packs to open instead of playing for prizes. An employee that was off work went to pay, and I went up right behind him. He grabbed two Ixalan set boosters, then changed his mind on those two and grabbed two different ones. I immediately said I'm grabbing the ones he put back, I opened the first pack and there was a Mana Crypt, opened right in front of him 😂
Mike-Mikey-Mikerson here: Was that case 1 that flew everywhere or case 2?!?!? 1!?!?! or 2?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo.... Brilliant intro!!! I laughed so hard!
You know, a shark can definitely swim faster than me. And I think I can run faster than a shark can run. So in a triathlon it would come down to who’s a better cyclist, I think.
Long explanation short (I honestly JUST read this with my daughter), but the Mesosaurus is NOT a dinosaur. It comes from a different branch of evolution. In the movie that IS a Great White shark being eaten
“Are any of the Merfolks good?” Triggering me and the 5 other Merfolk fans watching 😂 Deepfathom Echo was the card doing the most for me in Prerelease, Explore is finally being put to good use with this set
So somehow my local game store couldn’t get one Caves of Ixalan collector box because of “delays” but somehow multiple pack opening channels like this one have been getting tons of product? How does that work? Sounds about right from the big folks in the ivory tower.
Is your store a wpn? They can open for patrons but can't send them or mail then fill release day.. I thiz it's lame because the cards that are open on UA-cam makes it harder to pick up singles you like.
FYI Mosasaurus was a real animal, but it's not a dinosaur. It was a marine reptile during the time of the dinosaurs. It's closest living relatives are monitor lizards like the Komodo Dragon
A mosasaurus was a very real animal but being fully aquatic made it technically not a dinosaur, as to be a dinosaur one had to be landbound- not flying and not aquatic Anyways, that's my dork rant done, thanks for coming
Bought 7 packs from the same box at my lgs pulled a extended caver of souls, a green neon ink extended cavern of souls, and an extended multi color mana crypt! 🤯
Dumb question here. Are these packs purchased by other players and just opened by these guys? That’s my assumption, but the real question is why? I wouldn’t want someone opening my packs, do they get a deal for doing this?
This video is a little older so you won’t have patrons answering. If you want direct answers, post again in tomorrows vid when it goes live. But I can give you just a few reasons why: - We are a wpn store and do early openings - Patrons have good jobs that require them to travel a lot. They don’t have free nights to just go to their LGS and crack packs. When they do get home, they want to enjoy their time sorting collections of an extremely wide range of sets and relax at home. - Variety of packs - sealed boxes and cases opened on camera, no funny business buying from part boxes -yes our prices are competitive - trade with other patrons before your cards are sent out - buylist directly with us, moving cards with zero risk because they’re already ‘at the store’ - entertainment value of watching your packs be opened in a vid, then you get to open them again once delivered automatically every month That’s just what I can think of off the top of my head while dinner cooks. Every patron has their own reason and as open breaker spots fill in less than 10 minutes, there’s a lot of reasons ;)
@@MTGNorth Thank you so much. These factors that allow you to have this channel/business are truly fascinating to me. Magic inspired my love for learning economics, and your explanation is a great example of why.
No problem, I appreciate your interest. It is fairly unique. I’ve had to explain it many times to our accountant and of course the tax man which is always fun lol You’re also welcome to join our discord and ask there if you want more info, link in any vid description. It’s pretty active and the patrons are friendly folks!
Is WotC trying to find new customers? It doesn't look like it. It looks like they are, only, trying to get more money out of the same group of people eternally. If they aren't finding new customers, then what does that say about the future of our card values? At some point won't we just run out of people who are invested in buying the cards? Perhaps it's time to release Portal 4.
Hey Jon, hope you are doing well, thanks for checking in. Personally I feel WOTC are doing a really good job lately at getting new players: Universes Beyond does depart from traditional MTG, but that's the point. It targets a whole new audience. LOTR definitely brought in new players, we hear it almost weekly at the store and it's a good feeling. As far as reprints, they certainly go too far on some of them, but newer players having access to older stuff like Imperial Seal is great. Keeping buildable staples like Doubling Season also affordable to new players keeps players playing. With the backlash on M30 (and rightly so) I think they've learned not to touch the RL. Time will tell of course!
Lmao I love it 1st 3 boxes over $600 and no mana, no emblems. Can’t stand rush people Who can afford unlimited boxes and pull everything they want and is little guys scrounge to get a box and never pull anything
At least they didn't Neon Ink a $1.50 card this time
#makecollectorboxescollectableagain
Like #69
Excellent intro. Gimme dat egg! Ooo a piece of candy! Instant classic

Wow man whenever he put them back the odds went up tremendously, you had to immediately snipe
Mana Crypts can be in set boosters?
@@Ginkrepeerc_ sure can
@@KrayZieTyler good to know. I’ve been hesitant about collector boosters, since I’ve had no luck. But set boosters have been crazy this year for me
@@Ginkrepeerc_ mana crypts cant be in set booster
Best chanel of oprnnings for mtg profucts I evet seen
What a cozy intro Lads, great to see Yours channel grow! Greets from Poland.
Mike-Mikey-Mikerson here:
Was that case 1 that flew everywhere or case 2?!?!? 1!?!?! or 2?!?!?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo....
Brilliant intro!!! I laughed so hard!
Haha we actually filled some of the open packs with kaldheim bulk we’ve had laying on the studio floor for months. Goodbye bulk!!
Look at you guys with the Cyril Sneer reference!

Ok so I was right to be confused! That doesn’t look like a great white on the card art
I agree with Morgan. Settle the Wreckage was an amazingly fun card.
Idk how but i purchased two boxes and hit a neon mana crypt in one and a regular foil in the other!
Morgan’s continued hate for Quintorius is funny 😆 cmon he means well he is just an elephant man in a weird suit
Loved the intro hahaha FULL SEND!!!
Jurassic world collection cards, Roaming throne and cavern of souls always make me happy if I don’t pull any mana crypt from this set.
I've not commented in awhile (sorry lol), but my god, your intros keep getting better and better. Top notch as always, gentlemen!!!
Hey thanks for checking in Scott! Appreciated!
“Are any of the Merfolks good?” Triggering me and the 5 other Merfolk fans watching 😂 Deepfathom Echo was the card doing the most for me in Prerelease, Explore is finally being put to good use with this set
The Prof would have some choice words for them lol.
Also, the Jurassic Park cards are only in extended/borderless art. Great video
i pulled a neon blue mana crypt and i was SHAKING
Love the new intro! Please add more Patreon spots so I can give you all my money!
mephidross vampire + triskelion and a tooth and nail entwined makes for a fun turn
Finally they arrived and case 1 had em both! Keep em coming!

I thiz it's lame because the cards that are open on UA-cam makes it harder to pick up singles you like.
But you can use Giant Cindermaw from BRO in standard, if you don't want your opponent to gain life. It's one of my personal stables 😊
1:56 Instalike. Hahahahahahha.
So it begins!!! Get those crypts! ❤❤❤
Lmao the intros are getting pretty epic boys
Kyle the editor keeps one-upping himself!
Oooh, a piece of candy
Congrats on the pulls guys
FYI Mosasaurus was a real animal, but it's not a dinosaur. It was a marine reptile during the time of the dinosaurs. It's closest living relatives are monitor lizards like the Komodo Dragon
I mean… if it was alive when dinosaurs were, it’s a reptile, and the living relatives are huge lizards (for today) - I’m calling it a dinosaur.
Power stone was a dreamcast game btw....
Hallo du you habe intress on restless order in emblem foil ?
I habe one
"ooo a piece of candy" 🤣
Oh no. You mentioned the set we shall not. After Aftermathemort!
NICE INTRO BOYS
gotta put a disclaimer on that intro the am ad - it's gonna get someone pregnant🤣
A mosasaurus was a very real animal but being fully aquatic made it technically not a dinosaur, as to be a dinosaur one had to be landbound- not flying and not aquatic
Anyways, that's my dork rant done, thanks for coming
So one case for a foil crypt!
It's not a schooner, it's a sailboat...
First! The Lost have been found. Let's go guys!
Mosasaurus was a marine reptile, not a dinosaur. I'll be back next time with a new fun fact.
Thanks doc!
Can’t get cavern of souls or mana crypt in the box toppers sadly guys
Yeah, not even crypt :(
no neons BUT some decent hits. long but fun video.
Lol that intro😂
Bought 7 packs from the same box at my lgs pulled a extended caver of souls, a green neon ink extended cavern of souls, and an extended multi color mana crypt! 🤯
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂
well that´s one way to burn money
They were empty boxes... right?
Please tell they were empty.
Full of hopes and dreams

Morgan Spotify playlist requested
mana crypt is not a box topper, only special guest
rip
Cyril Sneer lol, carbon dating yourself much?
Also Morgan is much shorter and less buff than you would think apparently...
You can't get mana crypt in the box topper.
What's a "real dinosaur" ? As far as I know, they're all part of imagination ...
Is WotC trying to find new customers?
