Given that there won’t be any more unboxing videos for a while, I’m excited for the upcoming “boxing” video, where you take various strange items and package them up
it still amaze's me, how a nearly 30 year old game is still popular in high schools to this day. MTG keeps on being a splentastic game with fabulous art.
@@skillganon606 by offering more products for collectors to chase? The game is only as expensive as you want it to be. Kids do not care about Standard and getting every special edition card from a release.
@@SpoonyBard88 you say that but WOTC actively cutting back on draft boosters and making more set boosters says you will pay what WOTC wants you to pay. Sorry if I'm a doomspeaker but I had a front row seat as sports cards did this so I'm a little jaded.
@@skillganon606 Maybe they did that because, idk, it was to maximize profit because they can figure out how many draft boosters go unpurchased vs other products. Also, kids do not draft.

Draft boosters are sjust what they are calling the style of packs youve always been used to. The other kind is a set booster, they have different numbers of cards and more promos
9:02 That's most likely there to be a DM screen, you'd flip it around so the players saw that as you did DM related stuff behind it. Dunno if you find that out later, just noticed you didn't seem to know what it's for.
Unless I missed it I was so excited they released drizzt do urden and a few more famous forgotten realms characters into magic cards finally! Finally some more appreciation to rob Salvatore for getting what he deserves. I figured they released these trying to boost for the new D&D forgotten realms MOVIE coming out.
This was brilliant, thank you 😊 I would love to see another rift video where you have one of your favorite meals with a beer. Most favorite of mine for relaxing
I love dnd and I like mtg. Dnd in magic? Love it! Awesome, amazing. Magic in dnd? Eh, it's not great. The ebberon campaign was just alright. That doesn't stop me from loving the superlative, dnd in magic. Love the video!
In all honesty, D&D fits perfectly into Magic, I think it's cause Magic is so universal that anything can fit it's format, and it fits even more so, because MtG and D&D are both medieval fantasy.
I'm the opposite, mtg is my baby but I DM for my friends. But I do usually love the D&D magic sets. Legends is one of the first sets I remember and Zendikar was just amazing. AFR feels bad for a lot of reasons, some I can explain some I can't.
Hi, Rift! This video is great as always. I have a question, though; what ever happened to the Beftime Story Part 1 video? It was one of my favorites and I haven’t been able to find it in ages.
32:52, i love this card, nice foil! it is very fun to play your deck around that strategy, because it forces you to try and find as many creature types as possible, and there are a lot of seldom-used creatures that can be powerful in this deck! i have whales, jellyfish, salamanders, apes and even an oyster in my deck! lots of fun.
I kinda wish to start playing DnD. I don't have friends into it, so I kinda wish to find people to play with. It is so interesting that this game is still going and even find so many figures that look amazing. ... also this guy got me curious for it, thanks!😊
No clue how long you had this one at the ready, but hoping you do a Innistrad opening one, bet you would love the setting and theme since it's very "Bloodbourne'y"
40:52 WTF? Does The Eyes of the Beholder inflict -11/-11?! So does that mean that a Beholder could easily kill Tiamat? They have made her possess 7/7. No, no... that -11/-11 is extremely exaggerated. This video combines 3 of the things that I like the most: Magic The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons and ASMR.
Given that there won’t be any more unboxing videos for a while, I’m excited for the upcoming “boxing” video, where you take various strange items and package them up
This!!
This!!
This!!
This!!
T H I S !
it still amaze's me, how a nearly 30 year old game is still popular in high schools to this day. MTG keeps on being a splentastic game with fabulous art.
he also pulled a couple more over 5/10 dollars cards like, paladin ad ranger class, the deck of many things and acererack
They are starting to try to price the kids out of it sadly.

"Whenever I know that peril will be fraughting my path, that's a path I usually avoid". Yeah that's going to the history books.
That is surprisingly wise for a quote made as satire to a line on the back of a collectors DND x Magic set. You just gotta love uncle E man!!
@@sickna-sty3244 it’s just common sense statement using fancy words lol
@@allieboy181 Isn't all wisdom just that... but yeah I get you.
Awesome pulls, You should do more roleplays with a card theme or fantasy theme based off of MTG or D&D.
Agreed
D&D Dungeon master roleplay
ER might not be super in to the actual card game, but I feel like he would absolutely love reading into MTGs Lore and books.
@@kobiealbertson1784 exactly :)
What color would an Ephemeral Rift card be though? 🤔
Just yesterday my bestie started teaching me how to play Magic while drunk. It was an interesting experience
Uncle E actually has a tutorial video on it too ! I learnt the basics from this channel haha
@@CptArg explanation point has an excellent video that I usually show new players.
Magical, experience
it feels weird thanking a whispering man on the internet for opening dragon cards but, thank you
everything can sound weird when told like that
@@flowersandwater666 nah, when you cast Dimir spells you're supposed to whisper. It's completely normal.
I have the same feeling lol
No sir, it would actually feel weird NOT thanking a whispering Uncle for opening …….
Dang, Tiamat is actually one of the most expensive cards in the set, I hope you will enjoy that.
I've never played this game but I've always been fascinated by the players
BTW The set bundle you bought is ABSOLUTELY STANDARD LEGAL!! You can also use it to build edh decks which sound like your style of gameplay :)
Ah I see you are a man of culture as well
Most people I meet refer to elder dragon highlander as commander.
@@shazoch The two are interchangeable, it doesn't matter if someone calls it commander or edh.
@@BickyNuckley i know im just saying most people I have met call it commander
The goldfish and Beholder is a reference to the Xanathar, or more specifically the artwork on the cover to Xanathar's Guide to Everything
Slygar
As a long time sub and mtg player, im so excited you did this!
as a magic the gathering player myself, this is right up my alley
"This will be the last unboxing for a while"
Who's gonna tell him about the Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40k crossover sets?
Still hoping they get canceled.
@@skillganon606 because they dont fit together?
@Dr. Bright they're gonna be two separate products. The LOTR stuff is a regular set, and the 40K stuff is gonna be pre-constructed Commander decks.
@@BubblesTheBard I don't play Magic, but I wanna get the Commander decks cuz I'm a sucker for 40K.
OMGOMGOMG the king is back, I missed his mtg content so much, especially since it's become more popular in my school, keep it up you leyend!!!
lol do people still go to school?
it still amaze's me, how a nearly 30 year old game is still popular in high schools to this day. MTG keeps on being a splentastic game with fabulous art.
Draft boosters are sjust what they are calling the style of packs youve always been used to. The other kind is a set booster, they have different numbers of cards and more promos
They are the definition of greed meets game design.
@@skillganon606 No, those would be the Collector Boosters.
In 3:15 and 7:54, the sound of the cardboard box sliding to the surface is so satisfying for me. I wish there are more asmr trigger videos like that.
I leftmy heart for dnd years ago. Very relaxing!
Draft is a normal pack, it’s filled with commons uncommons and rare/mythic, but there is also collectors which is uncommons and rare/mythic only
I love D&D, in fact I just did some writing for my current campaign that I'm DM'ing
i was totally expecting this video from you and i cant say im disappointed, thank you as always uncle E.
Wow, this takes me back to a more simple and overall better part of my life.
YES, now this is what we like to see, mtg, so damn good
I don’t usually like unboxing videos but when you do it I love them!! Thanks ER!
Sees asmr dnd and MTG? .... Instant like, even before listening and usually falling asleep. Thank you for creating this.
Even while whispering, you can clearly hear Riftie's genuine child-like glee with the reveal of every card.
Hey ER just so you know tiamat is $20, well the on you pulled there's one that's $75 right now
I'm melting with the sound of your tapping!! 😍😍❤️ Great video!! 😍❤️🔝
I love that u made another of these i never thought i’d see it again
9:02 That's most likely there to be a DM screen, you'd flip it around so the players saw that as you did DM related stuff behind it.
Dunno if you find that out later, just noticed you didn't seem to know what it's for.
They've been doing that with the inside of fat packs for probably over a decade now. Most people put them on the wall if they save them.
Yeeea! Uncle E., The Sorcerer is back!
I cant get sleep and perfectly i noticed this video when i needed it the most
As if I didn’t love you videos as they are but to see ASMR, MTG and D&D in the same video… amazing!
As a long time magic player this is very pleasing to me. This is pretty good set especially the venture to the dungeon mechanic
Literally about to get into this when the ever-omniscient Uncle E posted this
It’s nice to see two thing you like come together in the same video
Arcane investigator sounds pretty cool. Like a Sherlock Holmes for magicky type stuff. Rift should do a video like that. Soft spoken regular voice.
I’m so thankful he doesn’t put ads in between
I remember back in high-school we used to ask to go to the library to study and we would just sit there and play magic the entire time
I don't know what's next but you're good in ASMR as always
Dang ER is such a rad dude
Flashbacks to the 2014 core set fire unboxing that introduced me to your channel
My MAN first pack, Circle of Dream Druid and Orb of Dragonkind Foil! Already good Rares.
Unless I missed it I was so excited they released drizzt do urden and a few more famous forgotten realms characters into magic cards finally! Finally some more appreciation to rob Salvatore for getting what he deserves. I figured they released these trying to boost for the new D&D forgotten realms MOVIE coming out.
Glad to see someone recognized Drizzt !
@@BirdLaw6969 yessir been a fan since I was about 9-10 years old. Rob Salvatore should be a national treasure.
Yes, just yes!!
I hate when ure jumping through asmr vids then get jumped scared by a full volume ad gotta love it 😅
Ayeeee. I bought a collectors box at release and got a borderless holo Tiamat.
I was waiting for this since the PS5 video!
He’s reached a mill!!!! Well deserved!!!
Unboxing asmr are actually the best
I could watch more of that Arkham card game too!
Oh heck yea. I have 1 co-worker that likes d&d and the other that likes Magic. This is an epic crossover.
Uncle E is really the best to make me feel sleepy. It always works.
Best fan base on CZcams, swear
The next set, called Midnight hunt takes place in Innistrad again, I think you will love it
As someone just getting into Magic, it's cool to find videos like these. Maybe I'll put out some Magic videos myself. :)
This was brilliant, thank you 😊
I would love to see another rift video where you have one of your favorite meals with a beer. Most favorite of mine for relaxing

@@CorndogCrusader Dont even get me triggered on the walking dead theme...
You’re the best ER!
Who's the second best ER?
@@angels2online mudkip
Wow! I admittedly quit MTG since the pandemic made it so that o I couldn’t go outside but it’s such a gift to see you do MTG content!
please keep doing these mtg openings. I would love to see a deep one dave mtg pack opening!
I'm pretty sure I will be too hyped about these cards to sleep, but this is awesome content! Thanks for sharing! :D
I also hate when my path is fraught with peril. I agree that chocolate would be a MUCH better path to be fraught with
A really cool crossover
(The fade to black at the end was nicely done)
Hi, Rift! This video is great as always. I have a question, though; what ever happened to the Beftime Story Part 1 video? It was one of my favorites and I haven’t been able to find it in ages.
We need another Card trader video! I loved the Pokémon one
I was so hoping for this video
32:52, i love this card, nice foil! it is very fun to play your deck around that strategy, because it forces you to try and find as many creature types as possible, and there are a lot of seldom-used creatures that can be powerful in this deck!
i have whales, jellyfish, salamanders, apes and even an oyster in my deck! lots of fun.
One of my favorites
YES! please do this for every new set
Damnnnn some good pulls in there
Fresh cut, looking handsome B)
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
On the cover of the box looks like Drizzt and his cat Guinevere from r.a. salvatores novels
Man, that's some good lighting
Looking forward to the next magic the gathering video you make!!
I've been waiting since the PS5 unboxing in excitement, can't wait to get 10 minutes in and knock out
i love this song 😛💣💚
Oh d*mn!! I had forgotten about those realms
Been getting so into mtgarena these days
@J Hs who?
I kinda wish to start playing DnD. I don't have friends into it, so I kinda wish to find people to play with. It is so interesting that this game is still going and even find so many figures that look amazing.
... also this guy got me curious for it, thanks!😊
I loved this video. I hope you open more magic cards in the future
Good now love it every time
always love your videos
The ultimate fantasy combo, imagine playing I dnd and magic at the same time, that sounds like a blast
you use magic cards as your spell casting system
its rly weird that this came out on my bday last year and i like mtg and did open this box myself
No clue how long you had this one at the ready, but hoping you do a Innistrad opening one, bet you would love the setting and theme since it's very "Bloodbourne'y"
This is an interesting video.
He sensible
He stand-down
But most importantly
We good now!
I love mtg. These are my favorite videos. :)
Those were fantastic pulls omg
I got one of these boxes and got a planeswalker and a dragon turtle. The irony is that one of the people in my DND party is a dragon turtle
@J Hs good
My favourite trigger, shiny cardboard
I love Ephemeral Rift and I do similar MTG ASMR Pack / Box Openings! =)
Fuck, how I miss this, MTG used to be my life a few years ago
I literally just got back into MTG in MTG Arena perfect timing
Yess...i have vrondis and hes alright...the grave recurssion deck my friend has kicks his ass
Going to miss these Magic videos 😭
40:52 WTF? Does The Eyes of the Beholder inflict -11/-11?! So does that mean that a Beholder could easily kill Tiamat? They have made her possess 7/7. No, no... that -11/-11 is extremely exaggerated.
This video combines 3 of the things that I like the most: Magic The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons and ASMR.
@Epic
But weren't they wanting to represent the D&D creatures and characters on MTG? Is a single Beholder really capable of killing Tiamat incarnate?
I love you Rift even if I havnt even watched that video :)))) Great fan of Mtg
Very nice my man!
