@@chrisbarraza7700 ok sure but the video is titled "why the $100 price drop?" And he's talking about the set being bad in terms of value. That has nothing to do with what you think is fun or not. Both the video and I are talking about the value of the set therefor in those terms it is a bad set.
I never liked that this set was considered a Commander Legends set. It should’ve been an Adventures in the Forgotten Realm 2. Pretty sure it WOTC did that, and made Commander Masters a Commander Legends 2 set then it would’ve been better for their fans and their pockets.
A lot of people were upset like that but they had strange misconceptions about the set itself that wotc never Ven said. Definitely felt different from the first and maybe should have had a different name but commander legends in name just meant a draft able commander set and nothing else
@wademiller2376 not nothing else... Bro, they slapped a comander legends price tag on it. It wasn't just a naming thing. Yes, the set tanked in value as soon as the next set came out. But that was only after fans who were excited over payed for it.
Bought a set booster box on release day at the local LGS to show some support. Retail was like $135 + Cali tax so like $150 ish Hit the white dragon and a Jet Medallion in the list slot. EV of the box was like $45-50 kinda felt shitty
Actually today I got a collector booster of Baldurs Gate and I have to say that it was the best collector of all my life 😅. I got 8 Mythics and a bunch of good value rares.
I love dungeons and the initiative so people hating this set was great for my wallet! I think currently it's very boom or bust just because the hit rate on the ancient dragons and lands are so low. I believe the lands have a higher hit rate in the draft boosters for some reason.
I love this set! I’m gonna go buy a box now *edit (I should mention I play less popular commanders, and like finding obscure cards that go in obscure decks)
One of my favorite sets so far. Lots of good cards in the set all over the place. Only thing I felt was bad is that when you opened a bunch of packs you see the pattern of a literal sea of the same rare legends popping up. I think I have 7-9 miryim, baba lysaga and so on of the others. Makes the packs feel a bit samey and the really sought after rares and mythics, and uncommons for that matter, are hard to get. Only pulled two dragons so far, white and black ones.
If you don't pull one of the best cards in the set, which many are locked behind insane collation issues and you will rarely, if ever see them, let alone the big hit (copper), you will almost never pull much value out of these boxes. I unfortunately bought in not knowing the collation issues when they were higher value, hoping to farm dragons, but I only pulled three out of a case. And none were a copper dragon.
Booster boxes are always a bad bet and you should only be buying them if you want the commons and uncommons to goof around with, or if you're keeping it sealed for resale later. Case in point: I bought a booster box for Phyrexia: All Will Be One for $200. I pulled $120 worth of cards out of it, and only because one of those pulls was a repack of Urza's Saga from The List. Without that unlikely hit I was looking at $75 in value from a $200 product.
Bought three boxes of this set last year. In the first handful of packs you opened, I never saw half of those cards. In the entire unboxing I did. Now I'm considering buying boxes of it again now realizing that apparently I missed out on half of the set...
This set has a lot of money rares and it had a good lineup of mythics. It's become HEAVILY undervalued. At $85 right now, the EV is excellent. In retail price for non-foil or special finish, there's like 20 double digit cards both rare and mythic with Ancient Copper at $75 retail. There are even nice uncommons in Greaves, Propaganda, Skullclamp, etc. The Collector Boosters were criminally underpriced but they jumped to like $180-ish and are just underpriced now.
I loved this set. Hidden bombs in it. Descent Into Avernus might be the best commander card ever. Speeds up everyone's gameplay. Speeds up the game in general.
Thanks for the video, I'm just getting back to TCGs last 1.5 years, you every hear of or play Sorcery: Contested Realm? or Grand Archive? or Mythrel? ... playing those three, and thinking about getting into Flesh & Blood and back into vintage magic play. Cheers
Everyone forgets this set had the cycle of Battlebond dual lands as rares. They are affordable now but if any extended period of time like 2 years or so goes by from 2024 and they don't get reprinted, they will at least double in price.
I am half tempted to get one just to hunt and peck for the ancient dragons. Obviously would be cheaper to just buy the one I want but still, yeah…tells you how bad this set was.
I never liked this set… 1) best rares shifted to Collectors 2) Dragons were “lottery cards” at set level 3) HATED “showcase” cards Thanks for video! Will look at links this weekend!
this set is so cool after you've played baldurs gate 3, pretty sure if the game wasnt delayed and they came out around the same time it would have been more successful
Seems possible that, after 30 years and Baldur's Gate is a beloved IP, these cards might become reasonably valuable but that depends on whether or not there's a tie-in between this set and BG4 and whether or not BG4 is a huge disappointment. That being said, holding cards for 30 years is less likely to pay off than if you had spent your time doing almost anything more productive.
I opened mine 2 days ago. Nothing to fancy but the best hit was a vamp tutor. However I bought the box cause there can be a lot of high hitters in it and I love the DND setting
Lae'zel is worth above 2$ :P I think this is one of the card that will be worth 20$+ if they will not reprint it in 2-3Y. Irenicus's Vile Duplication is worth over 2$ too... and its one of the best clone effect in Commander.
I love this set, don’t get me wrong; I bought a case of sets, two cases of draft, and all the precons. With this in mind, however, let me air the biggest turn offs I’ve noticed among all the drafts and cracks I’ve done. First off, it’s red dragon or bust for most boxes. Second, and more importantly to me, there are so many uncommons, décent ones, that the un commons feel far more rare than the rares and mythics (barring dragons). You can get great uncommons like mother of runes or mind crank but boy howdy you are lucky to get one good uncommon per box! That feels really backwards and so most players get turned off by the set as a result (in my experience!)
Nope, I will not endorse WotC abandoning the Guaranteed Rare standard for all practical purposes by buying Sealed. WotC should count themselves lucky my few hundred bucks a month trickles back via the secondary market. The more involved I get with hearing about the goings-on at WotC/Hasbro, the better that ProxyKing looks. I don’t expect every box to be a bonanza of bangers, but what we just watched shouldn’t even be possible. A worst-case-scenario should have been 80$ worth of 7.50$+ cards.
When I saw your nails I knew you smoke weed love shrooms and eat snacks..Maybe we could eat some shrooms and pass some puffs around while we play magic like real OG's 😅
I will say I heard draft boosters were better than set boosters for the baldurs gate set. In set boosters you have a better chance at "legendary creatures" where most people are looking for the ancient dragons which aren't legendary. Would be cool for a comparison of both boxes 😊
@@ZeusTheGodSoA just my personal experiences... im just contrasting when you whiff on a box vs trying 3-5 prerelease kits and any one of them can seemingly out value the box. the print runs and collation seem better to me.
Those "giveaways"ain't free bro. I signed up to the app and everything and even after they said shipping was free and I had a 14 dollar credit (nowhere near the 250 credit I was promised) and when I went to order 2 packs with my credit it said I didn't have enough on my card. If my credit covered the cost and it was free shipping how did I owe anything for my card to decline? I like your videos but stop lying to get views
I am unsure what happened man. I'm pretty sure it promises $10 up to $250. And I give the cards away you guys have to pay shipping sometimes. It's hard for me to pay shipping on 24 packs. No lies were said homie. I am sorry if you feel burned tho.
@kinglukemtg not necessarily feeling burned by you, more by the drip site. They were the ones that promised the free shipping for 48 hours since I was a new user, you said in your video we would have to pay shipping. So I'm more holding them accountable. I'm just letting you know in case other people had those issues. Shit I would've definitely come back and bought more of their stuff if they actually kept their word.
@kinglukemtg but Regardless I love your videos and I'm still gonna keep watching them. Some of those videos remind me of when I started magic back in the tempest block and my first infinite mana deck using some ley druids, fertile grounds and pennimens aura lol. Got thrown out of plenty of games because of that deck and it even got me banned from some comic book stores lmfao
Baldurs Gate was NOT a bad set, it was great fun. It may be lacking in price but the game play was awesome.
If you look up the singles, they are not lacking in price at all.
the set is terrible theres very little value. almost as bad as mkm.
@@davidsantiago7808 wrong, it was a very fun set. Probably one of my favourite drafts to play. Stop putting money before enjoyment.

Bought one of these when I was out of town with taxes $109. Pulled ancient copper dragon and other cards over $5 for $125. Was super happy with my box
It’s copper or bust
I bought some packs and there was nothing until the last card. Boom Ancient Copper Dragon foil.
@@carterhalo255 Not really, there are a lot of double digit cards in the set now.
I bought one only and pulled the copper drag also so i felt great
I loved this set. My group still drafts it every once in awhile.
Festival in a box is where the moneys at. Those mystery boosters are addicting too
as a baldur's gate 1-3 fan, i love this set. it's my fav
Bought a set booster box on release day at the local LGS to show some support.
Retail was like $135 + Cali tax so like $150 ish
Hit the white dragon and a Jet Medallion in the list slot.

Genuinely, my favorite set ever released. Been playing since original theros.

Love your videos bro, and your tiktoks! But watching a close-up of your hands with that big ol' ouchie 😷😬 put a band-aid on bro
I love the ancient dragons and monster manual!!
I love this set! I’m gonna go buy a box now
*edit (I should mention I play less popular commanders, and like finding obscure cards that go in obscure decks)
Really want to build a Safana deck with Dungeon Delver background.
My chase from this set is irenicus vile duplication. Everything else was a bonus 😂

yeah I was gonna mention the utterly wack collation of set boosters. Getting ~$50 from an $80 box is whatevs. Pulling $50 from a $180 box is bullsht.
I pulled a copper in a pre release box. I guess I got lucky.
not to mention it had way less boosters than a regular set box had, it wasnt good value overall

Doesn't Bauldurs Gate have the Ancient Dragons? That set was dope.
I got a one of the Bauldurs Gate set the green red one. I am actually like it
What was that first pack? So many diamonds and a double card back to back?

Hey Luke keep it up man
in the box i bought, i ripped two ancient copper dragons.

$80? This was a steal!
Copper and gnawbones. Plus other good cards for edh! I say this is a big win!

Best set for Dragon Tribal
Everyone forgets this set had the cycle of Battlebond dual lands as rares. They are affordable now but if any extended period of time like 2 years or so goes by from 2024 and they don't get reprinted, they will at least double in price.
This is the best commander draft set ever printed.
I liked this set. seems like every set I end up liking though ends up having trash value
I've made like 3 drafts in this set, none of them was good like yours, damm all those good dragons
Honestly more interested if you did Baldur’s gate giveaway 👀🤓
That's worth a commander draft I would say.
I am half tempted to get one just to hunt and peck for the ancient dragons. Obviously would be cheaper to just buy the one I want but still, yeah…tells you how bad this set was.
The fact if you pull a ancient copper dragon you pay for a box ite amazing
I never liked this set…
1) best rares shifted to Collectors
2) Dragons were “lottery cards” at set level
3) HATED “showcase” cards
Thanks for video! Will look at links this weekend!
How much were these when they came out?
this set is so cool after you've played baldurs gate 3, pretty sure if the game wasnt delayed and they came out around the same time it would have been more successful
This set was never $180 around me, I remember it dropping below $80 before climbing back up.
I actually liked that set. Ancient dragons for the win.
when i bought this box I got like 6 luxury suites and 2 morphic pools so not really that bad.

Irenicus vile duplication is about a USD $2 uncommon 6:09
anybody else Vibin to the background music??
I feel dumb, I just realized it's the characters from the video game.
I opened mine 2 days ago. Nothing to fancy but the best hit was a vamp tutor.
However I bought the box cause there can be a lot of high hitters in it and I love the DND setting
Bimmer you didnt get the ancient drangon. Still some solid cards in there. Keep creating the content.
I just want the bg3 heroes in etched from this set i have a bunch in reg but not in foil etched
Lae'zel is worth above 2$ :P I think this is one of the card that will be worth 20$+ if they will not reprint it in 2-3Y.

Ok I need to know where you buy these cheap cards!!
Jaheira is going to $10 Canadian!!!
I just bought this set and pulled an Ancient Silver Dragon, and a Ancient copper dragon. Foil.
Honestly, these are getting really hard to find, which sucks because they actually have some awesome cards.
I like a good dragon deck
I bought 1 pack ever and got the copper dragon foil and never bought another
Proce drop? Im up in Canada and ots never had a cheap price point like i see online
i knew you was from Florida lol
You want >

Why are people complaining? there are the insane dragons
Nature lore 2.79 US
It was terrible _at that price point_
Not terrible as a set.
Upside down card = repack/ tampered box
Nope. This was a poorly packed/randomized set. I've opened many odd packs like these here.

Isn’t it basically ancient copper or bust?
Go build a deck dragon :D
is stomping grounds tcg legit?
