Hey I just gotta say that Prof doing the signature shake on his skull to test the stability of Raycon™️ Earbuds is so on brand. Love it.
@@TheWeirdlyenough he needs to team up with internet historian q:
That's the best Raycon ad yet. Well done sir.
The built-in teleportation is nice, but did you know about the time travel feature? Just put on some heavy metal, start doing chores, and before you know it, you've traveled forward in time! It's amazing! 🤩

The stack of packs wiping away to reveal the "BUY SINGLES" playmat is top tier comedy.
"BUY PRINGLES"
I tried “holding” onto a booster box once…. I made it a whole hour! Personal best! 😎
Such discipline grasshopper....
I went a week with Core 2021 Collector Booster Box. Even had it hidden in my closet! Couldn't resist the urge!
Dont think ive ever gotten further than the drive home...sadly only 30 minutes 🥲

I happen to like the statement. It has a poetic ring to it!
"No one forced me to buy them, just poor impulse control!"
Hashtag relatable.
I definitely feel that
The foil etched Jin Gitaxias is the most expensive pull I've seen on this channel's booster box game. Buy Singles cause that does not happen often! Great video prof.
He pulled a foil Anime Art Wandering Emperor in a former video that is worth even more.
Check out the masters booster box game for highest value card
A 100$ card that cost... 270$ to get a chance of... Lmao these collector booster really are for no one
The Professor's dry humor and the genuine work of consumer protection make this a joy to watch.
Also: I spent roughly the price of a booster box on New Capenna singles and felt no buyer's remorse
Same! Getting the cards you want in the mail is more fun
I love how the Shake Test has moved beyond deck boxes. We've moved on to Raycons now. Great video Prof, keep it up!
Thank you Prof! And for everyone who is going to say “But he pulled a Jin Gitaxis Phyrexian Foil worth $100!”, yes, but it cost him $270…plus tax. And it was a gamble, not a guarantee. If you really want that card, buy singles!
I wish we had more time to see kamigawa again, really love that set
Nope! Gotta move on to the next set! Spoiler season ahead! NEW SECRET LAIR ALERT!!
Right? I really miss the two/three set block formula instead of this fast jumping around we've done for the last few years. We barely get any time on a single plane anymore.
It is the first time in years i wish we had 3 sets from a plane. The story felt rushed and the place left mostly unexplores.
@@TransformersBoss Looking forward for Brothers at War hope they reprint some good artifacts!
Big facts, Kamigawa 💪🏽⛽️☝🏽
"How can I justify such a waste of cash?"
The best segue into an ad break ever.
I am loathe to admit that rather than listening to the professor, I bought a new capenna collectors box. Of my 220 purchase, I got 110 in singles. It was brutal and I’ve learned my lesson.
110 now. just wait a month and it will be 60.
Yeah, new capenna was brutal. I got a collector box and got 7 mythics total. I got 8 gilded foils, but they were mostly commons. It was the worst box I've ever opened
I’m sorry to hear that man. I think now that the dust has settled, I’m off the collectors boxes from now on. Lesson learned, as they say. Best of luck on your future product, friend.
when you opened the foil borderless elspeth I said out loud "thats pretty neat I would pay 25 bucks for this" then i saw the price tag and realized that I really should just buy the singles i need....
once again thanks Prof ;)
I love the Capenna art and the general feel of the set, there's a lot of great cards in it and the pricing is low. I honestly feel like Capenna is a great entry point into magic again. Fun mechanics, good over all power scale, and the pre-cons are fantastic.
It's almost fitting that the last card in one of the New Capenna packs was Cut Your Losses.
Man capenna boxes are well under 200$ now in quite a few places, just shows how lackluster the set is compared to neon.
only the triomes and legendaries for money this time here. i am having more fun with it than neon. the setting is more my style.
This is one criticism I have of these videos. You can't start with an inflated price and then act shocked when you don't make that much back. My LGS had New Capenna at $200 even for pre-orders. At that price point the box would have basically been break even.
@@RCMAM exactly. I actually have started recording my own openings of collector boxes just to watch them back and see if I got value at the time, and I think its disingenuous to have the inflated price as my LGS will match most major online retailers, so they're selling Collector boxes of new capenna for $175.
@@RCMAM He uses the price he pays for the box at his LGS. Besides, most of the prices of cards go down before he gets a chance to sell and even using the inflated card prices, he still doesn't hit $200.
@@paulbooker8414 it’s the price he paid for the box, so probably not inflated at the time. Also night be including tax.
The fact that you some how got the best version foil mythic for almost all the best cards from kamigowa, it's crazy
See, Kamigawa actually had really great value and cards. There’s no doubt about it.
Problem is, they ended up being insanely expensive because of the pushed power they provide.
I have not been anywhere such pulls with Kamigawa. Probably super unlucky. Funny enough I opened three MH2 packs today and found Urzas Saga, two fetch lands and another 11 dollar drop. At least Karma came back
It’s how they get ya. Sometimes you get duds, but there’s always that one time you pull a fetch and an Urza’s Saga in the same pack, or a damn monkey...
2 Cards are around 30$ and one around 15$, okay two of them are rares but hold on. 1 card around 7$, 2 barely around 5$ and 10 between 2$ and 5$. The expansions over the last few years look pretty much the same, some day one 30$ cards had a hard loss of value, some midrange cards rised up up a bit, if the set had 30$ card at all. But overall in terms of value, magic is in a pretty bad position.
Professor,
Love your channel. I was hoping you could comment or make a video about Card kingdom's commander collection with your opinions about the decks. There are quite a few of them and the descriptions are meh. Are they all "equal" and I should go with my favorite colors/guilds or mechanics? Are some easier to upgrade to make slightly competitive? Are they competitive with Wizard's precon commander decks? Thanks for your time and passion for the game.
Cheers!
I like the extra random packs portion. Throwing off the video length keeps me on edge for knowing how many boxes the game will gone on for.
The moment I saw the Cut Your Losses pull I immediately felt the pull of the universe trying to tell me that I made the right choice in not buying a collectors box.
You definitely did, save your money for upcoming sets.
I don’t crack a lot of packs, because I know, “BUY SINGLES!”, but I do think the mystery is entertaining, up until it’s disappointment. 😅 So it’s nice to watch when it’s not your money, thanks Prof!
So are there supposed to be duplicates after the basic land in those collector’s boosters? Because for like most of the neon dynasty packs there were always 2 of the same card after the basic. Idk why…
Here is an interesting statistic I would love to see broken down: what is the % of the packs opened that "paid for themselves." Or: if you buy a pack at the store what are the chances it will give you a return for the cost of the pack?
Not very high. The whole box is what you need to end up with the big packs. More often than not, I've lucked out with entire boxes and did very well.
@@PtotheMtotheK Some sets are more swingy than others. If a pack has a 5% chance of a good ROI it will be easier to leave it on the shelf compared to a pack that has a 25% chance of being worth cracking.
@@zonimi somewhat true, but I'd still stick with expected value instead of odds of at least full compensation - a 25% chance of getting 4x the value of the pack is generally as good (often better, with how trading and the market works) as a 50% chance of getting 2x the value
None of my boxes because I keep all the good cards to myself so I am currently 0% up on my purchases lol.
Personally I do very well with Collector packs and boxes. It's the only product I buy anymore, simply because I don't like drafts and the alternate frames and foils are what I like for my decks.
I simply love your videos,it’s so fun and interesting to watch.It always gets me into a very good mood.Thanks again so much for making these mtg videos and help make my day.
Hey, it's my favorite episode of Man Cracks Open 200 Dollar Lottery Tickets
the music you use for the booster box games is so good. It is drilled into my head and i have zero complains about it. especially ther one starting at 22:28 ^^
Pack one already containing the same rare in two versions got me chuckling.
I was laughing on the inside. ;p
@@TolarianCommunityCollege and crying on the inside too I imagined
I love this, there's no better way to drive home "buy singles!" Thanks Professor for you poor impulse control!
you know, PleasantKenobi is the meme king when it comes to his mtg videos, but prof is straight up, the dad joke of mtg videos, and I am here for it
Kamigawa was my favorite set as a newer magic player, I know it was somewhat controversial but cyberninjas are so cool and I’m an artifact wh*re so : ) good luck all
Prof, admit it, those hour of devastation packs are from those mystery boxes😂
So far I personally think kamigawa series is the best series dropped in the last few years. Thanks Professor for the content, I would really love that box.
$331.28 🙌🏽
That neon dynasty box was killer! It's moments like that that make it hard not to buy the boxes, but I swear I'm doing my best to buy singles haha
I just upgraded 8 of my decks for $200, and bought a whole new commander deck for another $200. Just giving you and idea of the things you can do for $200 instead of opening packs
It was the lands that did it... pretty much every pack had value because of em lol
@@melvinrobinson160 I'm inclined to believe that ~$30 of lands were not responsible, but rather pulling the foil alt-arts of Wandering Emperor and Kaito + the Phyrexian foil-etched Jin-Gitaxias that did it... Since those are like $200 together lol
@@TheSheeplesChamp well of course not but I did find it comical that those lands gave a bump with every booster pack
@@melvinrobinson160 for sure, but you won't catch me buying a collector box just for the lands!
This might be 2 years late but my gosh, your music choice for these openings is Amazing. I literally plan on opening my booster boxes with your music playing hahahaha. You have a great one Prof and team : )
"Is like cardboard is addicting or something" Truer words were never spoken!
Great video as always. Really enjoyed the Marit Lage story. The beautiful art from the comic was made even more interesting with the light animation. The narration didn't hurt either.
When you seen that many special cards in the first back not even hitting 2 Dollars...
On pack #10 of New Capenna, that loose acid jazz turning cohesive during Ob Nixilis and sputtering out again was some of the best comedic timing I've ever seen. Well done, sir. 😁
It's impressive how many duplicate rares there are in a single pack. Especially with ascendancies in Capenna for some reason
I love all the music on all the Booster box openings..so catchy and chill. The Prof has amazing taste in music
I would love to see a video on how you turn your singles around. Some tips about using buy lists would be really helpful!
best tip for using buy lists is to never sell to buy lists
I've made _many_ lucrative buy list transactions at GPs over the years, so I disagree.
I just want to know how the Prof does it, since he cracks so much sealed product regularly.
I don't think I'd heard those first 2 songs during a booster box game. Let it be known i LOVE how "bummy" they sounded, like they represented/reflected the Profs mental of buying a box for 200+ dollars of 12 STANDARD BOOSER PACKS!!! Made me chuckle. : )
I always regret opening packs for “fun” How many time have I opened multiple packs only to get duplicates of the same bulk rare… Yet, like a moth to the flame, I just can’t help myself.
Kamigawa has in my opinion been one of the most fun-to-open sets in a long time. Luckily, watching other people open them kinda scratches the same itch! Thanks for saving me the money, Professor!
The first pack had me laughing aloud at how low in price each of the foil rares were. I remember when almost any foil rare from the newest set would be worth at least a dollar, and the drop in value is honestly comical to me at this point.
This is why I want a ringtone of the professor shouting "buy singles".
Because of how good the list is this time, I would say that set boosters are a better gamble than collector boosters. I pulled exquisite blood and Sensei’s Divining Top from the list if that proves it. And you can also get the Stranger Things friends forever cards that have been made into MTG creature cards. Collector boosters have a way smaller chance of containing fire🔥 in my opinion.
I’m glad you went ahead and opened the Kamigawa box. I really enjoy watching people open these because I can’t.
I miss the old collectors boxes, when you actually got a decent amount of packs and always got some good value
25:46 Here comes the boi 🐳🛢️
I'm honestly surprised by the second market value of the box, I was expecting to end under the 100 dolars value.
The trumpet fanfare ditty that played in the background absolutely fits with this set funnily enough! xD
Raised by wolves was amazing I really hope we get a season 3
First of all Prof, your drip in this video is unreal. Also when you threw that Kamigawa Collector Booster box over your shoulder I lost it 😂
I loved the last video, and would love for you to do more lore stuff!
P.s. I'm a big big fan of the trumpet song you play for these box openings.
That music during the Kamigawa Box opening was funky fresh!
I love when suckers buy collectors booster boxes because they waste their own money and it drops the prices of the showcase arts, some of which look really good for this set!
I love the look of the Samurai and Ninja showcases cards, simply gorgeous.
Honestly enjoy Tolerian community college content. Especially since he shows jusy how little value you can get from stuff like collector boxes and set boxes
Seeing you open all the Hour of Devastation brought me back to me original days of magic since I started in Amonkhet. It was actually really a treat to see all the Hour you opened, thanks Prof for the nostalgia hit
"Music be Jammin' " in the Neon Dynasty part of this video Prof ! Totally Diggin' It !!!
Returning in an ice comet is definitely a way to make an entrance. Lol. I enjoyed the story time. Thanks.
I still miss the days of an established block set each year with a core to round out the quarterly releases. Product has gotten so over-flooded with releases, I am still stuck in a dungeon in the forgotten realms.... Kamigawa was so great a release year with 3 top notch sets. Maybe the Neon Dynasty can reflect that sets flavor in a new way. Thanks Prof for showing us the collector booster box, never had a chance to see one opened. Good stuff! 👍
I am so sad I missed this 1 year from now. I still don’t know much about magic but it’s fun to watch 😊
I've been watching magic for a few years, but Kamigawa Neon Dynasty was when I actually played a lot of magic, even though it was mostly on Arena. I'm not someone who spends a lot of money on cards, so it was fun for me to enjoy a set without spending money.
Honestly surprised how much value came from both collector boxes. The past two sets have been solid value between the land cycles and the legends especially since Capenna is more like 200$ so that’s a break even. Much better than the horrors of the inistrad sets
Loved the decadent suit to match the "extravagance" of opening collector booster boxes! And the results were interesting!
The opening skits to your videos are always awesome Prof. The booster box game usually make me weep with pain for ya though.....
Professor ! You should totally do a video on your book collection. I’m really interested
Man the royalty free music on these videos is sooo catchy
Prof's outfits have been 🔥 lately! He got that kickstarter monies and invested it in wardrobe XDDD
Gotta love that you are at the point of tossing the collector's boxes around.
The trumpet timing was excellent, and that pull in pack 11 of neon dynasty actually made me burst out laughing in how insanely expensive a card you can't even read is.
I love to see your enthusiasm towards Kamigawa, I feel like this is one of the few sets that were made for the widest possible audience, while staying true to it’s origins.
Love the music Prof! Always enhances the experience.
"MUCH PRICE!" 0:40
This description is more appropriate than it first appears.
Love your work... and your team.
That first song during the Kamigawa opening has a Daft Punk vibe to it. Groovy my dude.
That song hit different at 23:00 dance dance I can see the professor dancing
My friends got me back in during Kamigawa. I love me some snake samurai.
Thanks for always making content we can enjoy, from stories to reviews, pack openings and soon some gameplay. You bring so much joy.
I used to buy boxes, then I started watching more mtg vids on UA-cam...yours came up and started following it more and more and I love the reasoning and attitude :D ... (P.s. Hello from South Africa!...again XD)
Loved the music during the new capenna opening. Very on theme.
The song with the lyrics “🎶dance dance dance🎶” could be heard in so many different ways. 😂
I knew that kamigawa box was gonna go over the 270, I hadn't checked the time for the video, but I had a good feeling about it. Congrats Prof, that was an amazing pull!
It's great when I can live out my poor impulse control vicariously through the professor. Saves me a bunch of money.
Getting the big boi on your 2nd to the last pack of the box, incredible! Yo Prof I'm glad you're opening boxes because you want to and sorry about the New Capenna box.
The music over the second box opening is great
I have to say it,
you looked very good in this Jacket Professor!
One longarm Shirt with this wonderful design under a black west with a silver necktie would be 10/10
Never mess with the Vess. Solid sketch at the end!
When you started talking about opening the box all I could see and hear was Brad Pitt yelling "What's in the box!" 😂🤣
The Professor: Don't buy collector boosters, they're a ripoff
Also The Professor: I bought this collector's booster box of Neon Dynasty because I wanted to open it
i actually legitimately love these pack crack videos lol. I get to crack boxes vicariously through you! for free! 🤣
The music during the pack openings gives me big banjo kazooie vibes and i love it
thanks for opening the Kamigawa box! living vicariously through you helps me avoid spending that stupid amount of money on it myself 🙃
I came for the booster box game, I stayed for that jacket.
Seriously, I love it and I need something in that material and pattern for myself.
This is probably the best iteration of the prof to date! I need more extravagant prof.
The Kamigawa lands sure do help the collector boosters out. Almost all of them meet the $2 threshold (exception being that one terrace plains that I guess people don't like).
loved the look of those kamigawa cards :)
"Cardboard is addictive or something, or maybe I just have poor impulse control" I've never related to anything more in my life😂
Love the references of sets and cards to the story
