  • The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Commander Decks have been fully spoiled and released, but which precon is worth the most from a card value perspective? I break down which of the four decks (Veloci-Ramp-Tor, Ahoy Mateys, Blood Rites, and Explorers of the Deep), is worth the most and some highlights from each.

    I got the Merfolk deck because even though it's not high in card value, the deck itself is absolutely busted for a Pre-con, and upgrading it will make sure you lose all your friends.

      @asmoastro8487 It's very close to being my favorite deck. It's very heavily reliant on your Commander, but it's insane.

    • @norbertocaballero976
      @norbertocaballero976 Před 2 měsíci +1

      @@JC-cb8oi No repeats. Ixalan's precons were special as they are quite strong out of the box. You could play them in a decent commander table and still have a fighting chance (the merfolk deck being quite strong). They are easy to upgrade and fun to play. I did the same for Karlov's Manor precons, but they were not at the same level as Ixalan's precons were. I got bored fast and they are now taken appart (at least they had good reprint value). But everything ends up as your choice. If you want all 4 go and get them, most of the time you wouldn't get dissapointed. (Ixalan Precons were great, Karlov's not so much, Thunder junction seems like fun but I haven't bought them because of product overload.)

    I run Blood rites upgraded heavily, valued at $230 with my upgrades with more to come. But I bought the pirates one as well and just want to mention that now the ahoy mateys precon is around $60 in value after scanning them all into TCG Player after the card prices adjusted for the reprints. Still getting a slight profit but nowhere near what the video states. My Valociramptor is still valued at around $94 with a few minor cheap upgrades and my blood rites is so heavily upgraded I can't tell yoy what that precons value is but probably somewhere close to or around velociramptor. I never got the merdolk deck, too much blue for me lmao

      @@S.G.21355 This video is old and the prices are hardly accurate. Right now of you pieced it out you'd make like $10-20ish after selling and shipping almost every card individually, not really worth the hassle unless you get a super cheap price initially for the precon which isn't easy to do, there are ways with connects or possibly from bulk buying or something. But yea it's hardly viable or everyone would do it. At best it could somewhat supplement your already churning card selling business.
