Now that I've heard this about Assassins Creed. I'm so sad I picked up 2 bundles. Damn 😢, Mike hope your doing well. Keep Staying Pawzitive Bro 👍 I'ma still open them and hope for the best. I've been a fan of this game meaning Assassins Creed that I've completed the whole game on Syndicate. Played others too.
Damn. I’ve been playing Magic for twenty years, and D&D for about the same amount. But, after all the scandals, I’m over WotC. *Sigh* Farewell. Now Paizo should make a TCG!
Imagine a fast food "value" meal where you get a cup of ice water, 2 fries, and a basic burger with an unknown chance that there will be a patty in it.
They stopped printing Set Boosters because they wanted to lower the products offered to avoid confusion. Not even a whole year from the change and they announce Value Boosters? Make it make sense man. With no clear MSRP I see store's trying to sell this for about $3.50 to $4.50, but if a play booster is just $5.50 then why even buy Value boosters? They don't even guarantee a rare card. On the other hand Bloomburrow making many cards exclusive to collector boosters has to be the greediest move ever. I understand having alternative arts exclusive to the Collector Boosters but making the Critter Planeswalkers exclusive is greedy and scummy.
@@marcoottina654 Well apparently according to the website only Tamiyo Bunny will be part of a commander deck or appear on packs, but Liliana and another squirrel say at the bottom "Only Available on collector boosters"
@@MrJustintreat which would be a good thing. considering how hyped up people are for bloomburrow, it's unlikely retailers are going to be able to keep the normal play boosters on the shelves. "investors" are just going to sweep everything up on opening day. there won't be a chance for kids or their parents to buy any bloomburrow products other than these value boosters because speculators see these boosters as worthless. This is WOTC's most promising set in bringing in a younger audience. They need a product that speculators won't touch so that new kids have a chance at interacting with magic. It's why it's only being sold in the large retailers like walmart and target and not being pushed in game stores.
WOTC must be envious of Konami's ability to lose money on sealed product. Incidentally, I'm sticking with my belief that the AC set is supposed to bring MTG players into AC, not bring AC players into MTG. It's not a coincidence that this came out at the same time as Ubisoft are doing a massive marketing push for their new games-as-live-service AC platform. Like, there's no way WOTC, when thinking about profitable brands for Universes Beyond, chose Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft 100% approached WOTC and said "What do we need to give you for you to make this advert for us?"
At Wiz they are losing their mind. People are sick and tired of top shelf products that gives back 30% of value, and what do they do instead of lowering booster prices? Make boosters with half the stuff. I have no words to describe this anymore, I just hope that one day they will sell singles to regular basis and stop this booster gambling stuff.
@@Lonovavir Assassins Creed (ew) got some. And Foundations will have the starter kit or whatever. But I'm getting burnt out from the way things are going.

You'd think after Pinkerton , that they'd try their hardest not to alienate us further and then they release: - Meagre Boosters that fail miserably + Some normal sets - A Lootbox Gambling set + Some good Commander decks ( but they're brand deal crossovers :/ ) - A set that is meh + A good set - A set that just sucks - A set with the Meagre boosters stuffed into it (A Lootbox Gambling set, albeit not as ridiculous as LOTR) - A set that is absolute powercreep, that pushes the wrong format too hard and releases precons in that format, instead of the format it was made for - A crossover set that only has meagre boosters + The Foundations Announcement (at least one good thing to look forward to) - This meagrest Booster Announcement... Someone is doing something wrong at Hasbro, but the shareholders are happy as long as they get their greed fix ofc.
Honestly a smaller booster with 1 rare or mythic, 2 uncommons and 3 commons would be more reasonable but in the end they should try to expand their market instead of increasing price
This is it Hasbro, you fucking finally did it. Im going 100%proxies moving forward and not buying anything in the secondary market, only selling. Congratulations.
Wait. You mean Hasbro has gotten greedy to the point that they're making their own version of those mystery packs you see at the Dollar stores and Big Lots???? 😵💫😵💫😵
You want to know what makes this even slimier? You think it's a coincidence that they come up with this tactic for taking advantage of young kids and the non-players who buy them things... just as they're getting ready to roll out the set that's more targeted at younger players, with all the cutesy animals?
Tin Foil Hat theory- What if they just have like a factory set up somewhere specifically for 7 card boosters or something and they don't want to change it.
This is entirely a product that Wizards will push out to stores like Walmart in the hopes that some kid's parents will see it as the cheapest pack on the shelf and buy it for them.
“There’s too many boosters” *Proceeds to Extend standard to get rid of a shit load of overstock from 2021-2023.* Why not we discontinue Collector Boosters?
When I open a box of each set to play sealed with my brother you can see that the packs will have the same exact 5-6 cards in the same exact order. Idk how the printing and mixing process works but it’s lazy.
Making an objectively worse product sounds about right. They really overestimated the draw of AC, especially considering how far away the series is from its prime
Ok, so I’ve been thinking about these value boosters and I have a theory involving draft boosters: WotC took down draft boosters because they wanted to sell this trash without making it affordable. There is no way value boosters would be bought in a world where draft boosters existed. As mediocre as they were, they were objectively better than value boosters.
If whales would stop whaling and treating colored cardboard like real estate investements we would not be in this situation, at some point you have to stop blaming the company and start pointing fingers at the continuing enablers.
Wotc is just making it where none of us collectors will want anything new. Just stick with old stuff and call it good. Can't see spending more for junk.
@@Augrills and here we have the pay pig that allows the company to do these type of scams and continue to do so without finally sinking the ship which is what the game actually needs...you're part of the problem
Anyone else around during the Alara block, specifically Conflux, when 3-5 card packs were available? They only contained commons and uncommons, and I believe sold for $1-2.
Well shit, Mike, you just gave Hasbro their Q2 2025 product lineup: Hatcher Boosters (36 cards per box): "Because the players demanded it, we're returning to 36 booster packs per box!"* *Product details: 1 card per pack, up to 1 in 15 packs may contain a card of any rarity level rare or higher. Pack may instead contain a foil of any rarity but most likely an ad card, art card, or token.
I suspect there upper management simply looks at the market cap the Theme Boosters used to get and want to get that money, but failed with Jumpstart boosters so now they try with "Value" boosters.
I would have been okay with beyond boosters if there were 36 packs to a box for the $110 that I paid. I don't particularly care about cutting off the commons. Cutting the packs down was a big problem though.
And I BET that a sealed box of value booster with have the price of what a regular booster box used to cost. This is literally a slap on the face to everyone both stores and players. They have gone full circles with thrown pies and clowns. Utterly disgusting.
One would expect that those packs wont have foil cards but how is having less cards let alone rares value? Nothing but a cashgrab to scam the consumer.
I don't really see the issue since they're only going to be sold in retail stores like walmart and target. them being unappealing to speculators/investors guarantees they'll be on the store shelves for kids to get instead of adults who tend to clean out the shelves before kids even get a chance to see what's there.
Also getting ridding of the commons in a pack, makes the commons more rare for one, and for two, sometimes commons are good cards, and can fill a vital role in your decks, commons shouldn't be treated like they're dirty or something.
wow 5 bucks for a pack of 7 commons and a land wow such value, much price. Yeah these things are pre filtered of value but just enough to bait the fish to bite, and we all know it.
My wife picked up a bunch of the Pokemon Halloween/Trick-or-Treat boosters that had a few cards a piece in them. She got them discounted, but even at full price they were a better value than this 😞
I opened 2 boosters I got at MagicCon Amsterdam, and both had doubles in it! On top of that one of those stupid play cards and one of the art cards which are trash.
Honestly, I could care less about commons. They are useful in Draft and sometimes Standard. So, why would I want to add to my stack of commons? I think the packs were overpriced at release, but the box prices now seem pretty reasonable.
Reminds me of the scene from Tommy Boy where he says "If you want me to take a crap in a box and slap a garuntee on it, I got spare time..." Just because you slap "value" on the name of the product doesn't mean it's actually a value. ...but it fools huge swathes of the customer base because people don't think things through.
Let's combine draft and set boosters into play boosters , that way we will have less product lines so things are less confusing. Oh screw it let's add another kind of booster !
Was thinking these were slightly better gravity packs targeted at grandparents shopping at Target or Walmart; I don’t think they’ll be in any LGS or even Amazon. If it’s $1-$2 a pack I can see Gramama picking up a few for a stocking stuffer or something and, while the EV is gonna stink, it’s just a small gesture which pretty much won’t affect enfranchised players.
I don't want my cards to be special I just wanna afford and play the game/format I wanna play. I get making premium/foil cards a Lil more money but every card should be reprinted to oblivion so we have the game pieces we need for all the formats.
they hiked the price of draft boosters to $6-7 so they could introduce boosters with fewer cards and charge what they were charging for draft boosters previously. it was just part of their big price hike, no one benefits from this but wotc and hasbro.
as a dad of 6 & 8-year-old kids, my experience has always been my kids opening the pack I get from Commander Night. They only care about the art. A card may go in their collection or be used for art. I appreciate cheaper packs with more cards.
@@Blackadder75 they are not magic players, but still consume products because parents or others want to show them that world. Most magic players discard the majority of a booster pack-nothing they want it’s left on the table at the end of the night. My kids will spend more time looking at the cards in a booster pack than a magic player will. They will get excited over 5-6 cards they want to keep. I suspect with bloomburrow it will be more. That’s why I like the idea of cheaper booster packs with more cards. It’s for a different demographic.
Shame they can keep trying to skim off the top with the mini boosters, with the concept of being able to get some bulk commons and uncommons maybe a few rares... we used to have Tournament Packs that were these 75 card booster packs that cost a bit more than a normal pack but were generally a decent value, and gave you a box to keep a deck in.
They should’ve called them Pauper boosters. For a Pauper drafting experience. Lol. They used to have a pack like this that were two dollar packs. I saw them at Walmart and Walgreens on occasion.

100% this.

A major warning sign is them being named "Value Boosters." That's a red flag. Of course it's a scam.

"I expect them to be half the price of a regular pack, 3 or 4 dollars"
I was there, 3000 years ago, when regular packs were 3 or 4 dollars.

Most magic players discard the majority of a booster pack-nothing they want it’s left on the table at the end of the night. My kids will spend more time looking at the cards in a booster pack than a magic player will. They will get excited over 5-6 cards they want to keep. I suspect with bloomburrow it will be more. That’s why I like the idea of cheaper booster packs with more cards. It’s for a different demographic.
Shame they can keep trying to skim off the top with the mini boosters, with the concept of being able to get some bulk commons and uncommons maybe a few rares... we used to have Tournament Packs that were these 75 card booster packs that cost a bit more than a normal pack but were generally a decent value, and gave you a box to keep a deck in.
"Margin the Gimmlin" 😆😆😆😆
Loved you in the Office and the Hangover, bro
When this experiment fails, look for Extreme Value packs at a lower price with a single card of any rarity😜
11:50 awesome Purp! Thanks for the laugh!
LGS won’t have access to this product so yes 0% chance they carry it
They should’ve called them Pauper boosters. For a Pauper drafting experience. Lol. They used to have a pack like this that were two dollar packs. I saw them at Walmart and Walgreens on occasion.
Love seeing Purp all rilled up ranting about the true state of things. No script to boot. Bro you’re pure talent. 🎉
