    $105 for 30 packs is right in line with the previous $125 for 36 packs proportionally, which is what the last few sets have gone for at release. There's no sale here

      That’s around what the MKM sale fired off at and that is a sale for modern day mtg. IMO it’s significantly under standard market price that we have seen so far and qualifies as a sale but to each their own

    Wotc holding out and restricting collector boxes currently and controlling the secondary market then letting Amazon get dumped with them to expedite profit. Greed machine going crazy

    I've gotten into the habit of preordering one box from Banana Stand (at TCG Player) each release. Even if the set isn't great, the discounted price makes it worthwhile

    I always pre-order. Sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down, but it guarantees that I'll get my stuff as early as possible.

    The Eternal Might precon preorder is sold out on Amazon except for the 4 pack case. All the TCGplayer listings have jumped to at least $20 over MSRP. I think this precon is going to be highly sought after and pop off in value post release.

    Months ago I was going to skip Aetherdrift and thought the racing theme was stupid. I still think it is stupid BUT, there are some really good cards in this set. I got a great deal on all of the Aetherdrift products from my LGS. I paid only $39.99 for my Aetherdrift Finish Line Bundle and a Play Booster box for $79.99. Since I preordered quite a bit of products, I only paid $119.99 for the Collectors box. I paid $30.00 for each Commander deck. I will also buy some singles. Thank you for the video.

  • @andrewpeli9019
    @andrewpeli9019 6 днів тому

    The set has about 10 cards that will see play in decklists. It's slightly stronger than average, but its still not worth buying. Buy the dozen or so singles that you actually are going to play.

      ​@Baps_ It definitely looks like a worthwhile deck for pre-ordering. Comparing it to the squirrel deck from Bloomburrow shows that even if it does get a reprint, you'll likely be waiting a long time for that.

    36 pack boxes were a 100 just a couple of years ago. I don't find any value any of the non collectors boxes.
    Thrones of Eldraine collectors could be had for 200.
    These prices are not good for anything besides possibly the finish line bundle.

    People may of course spend their money on whatever they enjoy, but I don’t like anything about this set, so regardless of value or whatever gimmicky art style “chase cards” are in the packs, I won’t be purchasing any products from this set. Even if they said, “go to your LGS and say ‘start your engines’ at the front desk and you’ll get a free pack,” I wouldn’t say it.

  • @unclebuck7145

    The answer is do not pre-order and don't buy after it's released.

    • @thevoxdeus
      @thevoxdeus 7 днів тому

      If it's something you know you'll want, pre-order the moment it's available to lock-in a great price.
      Let's just put it this way: if you don't pre-order Final Fantasy collector boxes, then you will not get them, except at a ridiculous markup. I have no idea whether or not the set will be any good, but I know that LOTS of people are going to want them just because they're the intersection of two things that they love: magic and final fantasy.
      That kind of situation doesn't exist for Aetherdrift. You'll be able to buy collector boosters at around MSRP for awhile, and even the commander decks will wobble around MSRP since WOTC will do reptint runs throughout the year if there's enough demand. Even so, I was happy to pre-order the commander decks for $35 apiece and collector booster boxes for $200 a month ago. I'll recoup my investment with no problem in spite of the low hype for the set.
