@@mateocossani8231Yeah. It’s a unique precon though so it’s probably more appealing than most others. And ofc if you play Commander, that booster is definitely worth it.
In response to the sample boosters that come with the precons: Some friends and I just each got a different copy of the Duskmourn precons, and each of the sample boosters contained cards that would be synergistic and be ran in the OTHER decks in the set, as opposed to being usable in the decks they came in themselves. Not necessarily “must includes” or any money cards whatsoever, but if that’s not intentional to try and drive sales of the other decks, then it was certainly an interesting coincidence. Was a fun bonus getting to trade our extended arts and promos around the table.
30% off and no * What does the * mean on a Costco tag? Next time you're shopping, take a look at Costco's price tags. If you see an asterisk in the upper right-hand corner of a price tag, that means the item will be discontinued soon. Commonly referred to as the "death star" by Costco loyalists.
Well, remember that the ONLY way you could get an extended art foil One Ring was from the Sample Packs in the Precons (before the Special Edition). that thing was like 500 bucks or more at one point I think. But point is that was something new they did for the LotR precons. Not that you can't necessarily get good cards from those packs, just saying that specific pull could only have been in that pack.
Just got back into Magic. Picked up two Bloomburrow. First card out of the first pack was extended art Ygra, Eater of All. Second booster wasn't as hot.
I bought one from my local Costco for 20 bucks. From Bloomburrow I pulled a Caretakers Talent, from the two card promo I pulled a Faerie Mastermind and from the Commander Masters I pulled a Demonic Tutor, Grand Abolisher, Flawless Maneuver and a full art exsanguinate. I probably should have bought a lottery ticket 😅
I bought all the MotM Commander decks, and the Convoke and +1/+1 decks cane be fun. Convoke got two solid cards in Duskmourn, and then switch the the +1/+1 Commander from Brightpaws to Shaila and Halar. I will say tho, I do enjoy playing weaker decks and trying to make them work. However, I do have a ton of fun with them.
4:38 Regarding the bonus packs, in a Modern Horizons III Foil/Premium Simic Lands (Tricky Terrain) deck, I got a borderless Ugin's Labyrinth, so it IS possible to get good things in them sometimes
I recently visited a different lgs, and one of the people I met there proudly said that he spent 800 on lotr Commander at Costco, then returned every single one that does not contain the one ring. I guess I look at him with disgust, he just kept saying "that's their return policy"
That's disgusting, hate people taking advantage of their return policy in that way. I bought Food and Fellowship and it was missing Merry (I didn't open any of the sealed packs) and they gladly exchanged it. It's nice that policy is there as a safety net, but people who abuse generous return policies are the ones who will ruin it for everyone. Just looks at what happened at REI. Folks kept returning their hiking boots they wore the entire Appalachian Trail for full refunds or exchanges forced their hand to be more strict on their return policy.
That is one good way to convince retailers not to carry product, which will mean that LGS will now have exorbitant power. Remember when those stores would sell a commander deck at triple the price instead of MSRP just because it has a True-Name Nemesis?
March of the Machines is probly the worst commander sets i've seen at Costco, they never moved so Im not surprised it's on so cheap. I got the Fallout sets for 160$ for the 4 and the LOTR sets are a decent price right now.
Ordered all 3 that they had available a week or two ago and I'm glad I did. I just checked the website and there are no more available at all online. I might make a run out to see if they have anything at one of the warehouses in town today.
I would love to know where you are seeing Magic at Costco. There are two close to my house and one close to my daughter's college. I visit one or more of these around twice a month and none have EVER stocked any Magic products.
Back when we opened our LOTR decks, my friend opened in the sample booster a foil extended art one ring valued at 400$. For some reason someone offered him about 1000$ for it and he promptly sold it lol
I got 3 MotM costco bundles for 19.97 each last 2 Fridays ago. Pulled about 3 $10 cards in the packs not including the precon worth. overall was lit af
I guess I’m going to have to pay another visit to my costco. I bought one at $39.99 before, but if they’re even cheaper now I’d be happy to load up. Would they be in the same area? From what I remember Costco doesn’t have any sort of “discount” area?
I bought and sold a MoM commander deck for total $2 loss to try my luck at the packs which did alright. Nothing super crazy but sold an ashnod alter to be $3 positive and trying to sell finale of Devastation to make money
Im in a major city and none of the Costco carry them :( stinks too because I only want them for the good deal to have a pre con, not to scalp the cards for selling
Damn ithats insane they keep dropping the prices on these. Unfortunately we are all sold out online i my area and i dont think they have anymore in store
Well it makes sense the ACTUAL investors are mad. But the people upset about cards they "invested" in going down in value are utterly incompetent human beings, "investing" in cardboard THEY KNOW can be reprinted yet have the audacity to complain. Name a more iconic duo than "MTG players and complaining about a reprint"
They have a right to be upset when this game is marketed as a COLLECTIBLE TRADING CARD GAME meaning you expect your cards you spend an exorbitant amount of money on to retain some value. Im sorry but this game is and always had been more than just game pieces.
@@xeper9458 you typed this assay to basically say "I'm stupid because I INDEED invest money into cardboard" if you invest in anything other than RESERVE LIST CARDS you're a fucking moron, here you are huh bud
Go and tell your LGS how you feel. Tell them you think they're stupid for trying to make money on cardboard and hoping that some of it retains value. Let us know how that goes for you.
Unless you are a retail seller, those cards are not worth what you claim. I suppose you could argue trade value but the same logic applies: if you sell these for cash, if you recoup 50% of this value, you are doing good....
In that first box. The precon and commander masters makes it worth it. a commander masters booster is 20 bucks so you already saved 20 bucks
U only save money if you were planning on buying them anyway, never forget that
Yea I was like I would buy all of commander masters if it was $4 lol
@@mateocossani8231 you are saving money regardless

I paid $19.97 at my Costco yesterday for the MOM precon. Insane deal
It's $70 in Canada fml
Wow, I think that's almost an auto-buy. Commander precons don't get much cheaper that that, and the decks aren't that bad.
It's 10 dollars for me now
I got all but the tinker time and the physician one, mostly because I couldn't find i5
Costco takes all returns. Just take the valuable shit and return the junk
@@nikoswans7657 classy... lol
Man where are yall at to find these, neither Costco in my area have ever carried any of them
Same. Every time I go I check, but they've only had Pokemon card bundles.
I opened a Fairie Mastermind extended art in one of those Costco prec collector booster sample… pretty sweet.

In the LOTR one, you skipped right past an $11 heroic intervention
He went back to it. He also skipped the Raise the Palisade a few times...
Yeah, I found it eventually. Oops!
In my Good and Fellowship precon the collector booster sampler had a Borderless Foil One Ring, so yes you can get good things out of them

That's awesome. I don't think I've ever opened anything high end out of the sample boosters. They are still nice though.

The March of the Machines Precons are $20 at my Costco. Opened $50 just from the boosters a great pickup

Saying Wrath of God is borderline unplayable and calling beast within maybe the best removal spell in the format are both insane.

@@exhausteddog819 LL Bean is ending their lifetime warranty this year for any new purchases.
Yea my Costco has them priced at $19.99 picked up both of them! Packs alone are worth it and you get a free precon!
Can confirm you can get good things out of those promos, I pulled a showcase Sheoldred, the Apoc from my dominaria united precon
How do you find these? I never see them at Costco
March of the Machines is probly the worst commander sets i've seen at Costco, they never moved so Im not surprised it's on so cheap. I got the Fallout sets for 160$ for the 4 and the LOTR sets are a decent price right now.
Yeah, the massively overprinted MOM and it wasn't super popular. Seems like they are just trying to dump it for whatever they can get.
I gotta say I really enjoy my MOM knight deck I got from Costco
i pulled a full art demonic tutor from this its kinda nutty
Sucks that these don't get released outside the US.
Yeah... Especially 30$ for what is an entire deck worth that and goodies (which includes a pack worth about 20$) with it.
Ordered all 3 that they had available a week or two ago and I'm glad I did. I just checked the website and there are no more available at all online. I might make a run out to see if they have anything at one of the warehouses in town today.
Agreed, sucks sadly… was hoping there was at least some in stock
Yeah, if you have one local it seems worth it.
If only stock would last in Costco. Nearest Costco for me is an hour drive away.
For products like this you should do the unsealed and a sealed value in different sections of your pricing index
I'm so upset that the nearest Costco is 2 hrs away from me. I would love to try and find these.
Where are these I can’t find them in my warehouse stock
I would love to know where you are seeing Magic at Costco. There are two close to my house and one close to my daughter's college. I visit one or more of these around twice a month and none have EVER stocked any Magic products.
My Costco decided to reduce the price on the motm deluxe precoms by 50 percent. So I bought all 4 commanders for 80 dollars. Totally worth it.
Are the commander decks all different?
I bought march of the machines for $20 from my Costco. Came in the same packaging as well. I definitely think it’s worth it for that price.
Back when we opened our LOTR decks, my friend opened in the sample booster a foil extended art one ring valued at 400$. For some reason someone offered him about 1000$ for it and he promptly sold it lol
That's insane!!!
@MTGGoldfishUnboxings that's what we though as well XD
I wish I lived near a Costco! This would've been a perfect way to get into MtG as a LotR fan.
When I bought the token precon from all will be one, I pulled the 40$ version of atraxa at that time
I once pulled a full art Atraxa from a sample collector booster.
Wish these would pop up somewhere in the UK! So jealous of all the mad deals people in the states can find.
Came for the unboxing, stayed for the Trampled by Turtles tshirt! Obviously have some good tastes!
I don’t have a Costco membership 😢
I got 3 MotM costco bundles for 19.97 each last 2 Fridays ago. Pulled about 3 $10 cards in the packs not including the precon worth. overall was lit af
Sadly not in Canada..or at least the Costco's around here don't have magic you can only order them online.
I mean doesn't the LOTRs collector booster singularly cost $55?
What Costco are you guys going to I don’t see anything in the app
My best pull from a collector preview pack was a Fierce Guardianship, so good cards can show up.
Compared to the prices here in Ireland this is an absolute steal.
I saw that galadriel deck for 60 euro in my FLGS
Could we get a commander vs with the lotr promos?
They seem uncommon for content.
Bought the LOTR Frodo commander deck recently from Costco. 60 dollars in Canada
Hate the fact we get no deals EVER in Canada, these are still $59.99CAD here...
wish we had this kind of product in the UK and insanely cheap prices
I guess I’m going to have to pay another visit to my costco. I bought one at $39.99 before, but if they’re even cheaper now I’d be happy to load up. Would they be in the same area? From what I remember Costco doesn’t have any sort of “discount” area?
did they have the Hobbit LOTR precon? or was it just the AWFUL elf one?
I pulled an Extraplanar Lens out of the Eldrazi Unbound pre-con sample pack. Certainly wasn't mad at that lol.
I pulled a foil Pip Boy sol ring from the fallout precon I got, there can definitely be hits in those sample packs!
I got the Sauron deck and pulled an orcish bow master so very happy with that purchase :)
I got a sheoldred the apocalypse in one of my dominaria united sample pack so yes, you can get good cards in the sample pack.
I bought and sold a MoM commander deck for total $2 loss to try my luck at the packs which did alright. Nothing super crazy but sold an ashnod alter to be $3 positive and trying to sell finale of Devastation to make money
Have you considered doing a planechase episode of commander clash?
I *think* the LOTR promos are from the 2 player deck things and not in the actual set but im not sure
Sadly they are $70 here in Canada for some reason
Lotr commander deck has Ascetisim which is going up in price as well
Hey, what currency is this?
I have been to costco. I have never seen mtg there in 20 years of shopping there.
Sadness on the stack for all us fans in the UK who never see anything close to a deal like this.
I pulled the lotus that comes in commander masters, I think it was the box with the lion commander. these boxes are legit
i play smaug, its such a threat if smaug comes out in my diahda deck that it usually wins the game. any token doublers and its that much better
You could also just make that there Kykar the Commander and have fun playing the deck. 🙂
The commander masters pack in there is wild
I opened the one ring in mine, on the lotr one.
Pretty sure the LOTRs collector booster single still for $55
either mine haven't restocked, or they sold out immediately, either way, good for those who can get it!
Just picked up two Food and Fellowship.
Im in a major city and none of the Costco carry them :( stinks too because I only want them for the good deal to have a pre con, not to scalp the cards for selling

Man. My costco never has these...bums me out
The sauron commander deck is worth it. but the other LOTR ones arent.
I was playing there and back again in my dragon treasure deck and it was just okay
In Canada the MOM ones are US$50 -____-
I just bought all the LOTR decks, before the sale. 😞
4:40 my girlfriend opened up a foil abhorrent oculus variant from the animatou but her luck is just insane
Bro the Commander Masters pack is $16 on TCGplayer
Just because they ask too much normally for a product doesn't mean the reduced price is a good deal. It still doesn't seem worth it.
Seth - all of those LotR promos are rare cards. Just FYI
this is bull, my local store stopped carrying them and they no longer have them online
Commander masters set boosters are not or ever been 4 bucks
Wow Seth trying to pronounce LOTR words again just took me way back to 2023
You're a very jittery and shakey person.
