bought one back in December and had some massive luck, pulled a surge foil one ring and three poster cards and some other goodies like a cavern of souls reskin. all in all value is at $350 for my box with everything counted in.
Really love your content, been following you for a month or so, I just came back to magic after a 8 year break. And never played commander before, could you do a video on power levels, that is something I cant grasp. Big up all the way from Scandinavia.
Lord of the rings packs are okay at most, but if you get the Lord of the rings jumpstart packs. Those have tended to have some good hitters for the money
My wife and I cracked a sealed case of six regular boxes. She pulled a regular One Ring and that alone was worth the experience. I really feel like it's a timeless set. Tons of value and great looking art overall.
Opened two boxes one day. I was opening them with a girl who knew nothing about MTG. First box I made 100$ profit. Second box I cracked 004/100 Dawn of a New Age and scared the shit out of her cheering. So I was feeling good and decided to follow the unwritten rule and have her crack one pack to see her luck. Im going through my pack and its nothing special and she goes, ooooohhhh this looks pretty and hands me a foil poster one ring. I got so excited and she had no idea what was happening. "So I did good right?!?!?" "Yes babe, you did good."
Damn that was a tough rip, this is not my experience with these. I have had varying success with 2 sub 200$ in value(but not this low) couple between $200-300 and 2 over value but 1 was because I hit a serialized card. This was a good watch nonetheless
I opened two boxes of this last week and pulled $660 from the first box. Back to back scroll one rings one foil and one non. That was the cost of the box basically. Also a lot of other hits. Second box not so well but got $300 worth of cards. I also got two foil posters in each but no serialized cards. This was just a bad box imo but gambling on the cards is too much fun
This might be misinformation or a rumor but my local store told me that the reason these are so expensive is because people are confusing them with the regular lord of the ring collector boosters(green packaging). The green packs have the good stuff. These barely have any rares in them. He told me they should be like $18 packs.
That was Rough Rough Rough bro... I'm sorry that was so brutal loss versus gain. I know those serialized cards are worth something but... to me that wasn't even close.... not even 50 percent of what you paid in value back...
I think I've opened something like 40 collector packs since I started playing again back in '21 and if it wasn't for a borderless meathook I'd be 0/40 on getting pack value lol. Such scams.
the collectors boxes are just MTG version of loot boxes and gambling mechanics ill let others buy them crack them then. its just more cost effective to buy the 30cent cards I need and the few expensive ones rater then gamble on a 200-300-dollar collector box
@negativehearts1643 I missed the realms and relics as well, they're also out of 100 so there's 50 cards all out of 100 so 5000 serialized cards in the set. I think someone on reddit worked out the math to 1 in every 40 boxes for a serialized card. There's also no way to keep track of how many have been pulled since since most people that pull them sell it locally or keep it to themselves. So we'll never really know if they've all been pulled.
I won a box is a raffle and it was probably the worst box I've ever opened. I've opened better bundles. That said, I only paid $20 cad so I really couldn't be mad.
@@kinglukemtg So I was flipping through the comments section and was surprised to see some real negative and toxic people. Don't pay them any attention, you're doing good bro 👍 Hopefully they'll filter out after a few more vids.
These boxes are so expensive because of ppl like you that have no connection to the lord of the rings but still buy at absurd prices because you hope to hit a big investment like a serialized card.
Help me out and throw a like on here for me. Lol
You make some of the best mtg skits :)
You got it champ
Nope, but i watched the whole 10 min and 19 sec...
Rough box but still a good vid
You got it! Keep up the good work man
I like the way you show card value and box value keep them up. Better to watch you than to lose money myself.
I’m very glad your posting these opening videos, glad your posting more content. I really enjoy it bro.

Im here for the analytics doggy!! Love your vids bro!

Damn that sucks bro. First half of the box started kinda fire. Can’t believe you only got one poster card.
Ikr, I opened a few on my stream and they were loaded

Like the videos keep them coming!
hey its the dude from the commander shorts!
I like the artistry of the Poster cards but hate them for play.

Shire sheriff is kinda funny, cause sheriff comes from the word shire reeve
Would it be awesome if MTG does star wars commander

Man if nothing else came from this set I love my lord of nazgul deck 😂
Yea if you don hit rings or bow masters it’s hard plus no Nazgûl
bought one box couple of days back from amazon. Came back already opened with token cards rofl . i paid 440 usd for it with taxes

Why don't these have box toppers? didn't the original run have them?
Idk but I just popped an urborg from a regular one so I'm happy lol

I hit the like button because i like to watch the suffering 😅
Looking for MtG mentor in the Dallas, Texas area
tough look when he says at the beginning on the hunt for a serialized card....does he not know?
The poster variants have serialized version in this set
Damn you kinda got shafted you gotta let me open your packs for you I’m hella lucky
I think I've opened something like 40 collector packs since I started playing again back in '21 and if it wasn't for a borderless meathook I'd be 0/40 on getting pack value lol. Such scams.
Bought a foil poster of the One Ring for $360 after taxes and shipping.
Pulled one on the giveaway for Christmas eve
Nice
NO WAY THIS MAN PULLED A BREAD CARD
Pulls gandalf the white says 20 dollar card worth 5 dollars😂
I got more on my regular box lol
Absolutely brutal, not a single card over $20.
Brutal
I mean the set has many high priced cards so it's bound to be expensive
the collectors boxes are just MTG version of loot boxes and gambling mechanics ill let others buy them crack them then. its just more cost effective to buy the 30cent cards I need and the few expensive ones rater then gamble on a 200-300-dollar collector box
Short and simple answer They're that expensive because greed rules the world
Not a big LoTR guy I see lol but still a good video
Wait I thought the special editions didn’t have serialized cards?
There's 20 serialized cards in this set each out of 100, i think. They're the acid art poster art ones. No rings though that was just the first set
@@F1nalGamb1t ahh ok that makes sense, but I would think if they are out of 100 most if not all would be pulled already. Thanks for clearing that up!

2000 well hit that easy round 2 is gonna happen
I block people doing booster opening shorts. but you are ok my dude
Gawd damn. You got absolutely destroyed...
I won a box is a raffle and it was probably the worst box I've ever opened. I've opened better bundles. That said, I only paid $20 cad so I really couldn't be mad.
Is it just me or is WOTC just not putting value in collectors boxes for the price, even booster boxes are pretty bad the last year....
The price is based on serialized cards. I hate it.
you cannot pack a serialized card from the special editions
They have serialized posters in these packs
@@kinglukemtg ahhh those ! yes i thought you were seeking the sol rings and cie. My bad then
Why do you hate myriad landscape so much ?
Bro clearly hasn't watched or read lord of the rings with that pronunciation, but all good I like the running total and card value 👍
Obligatory 1st
Why 330 b3cause rudy that's why
Cost, not costed
Costed past tense of cost. It's in the Oxford dictionary.
>$2
I hate to say it but this was the worst box I've seen opened....
👌 'Promo SM'
Oof
Big oof

Thank you man, these comments really help.
That was a bad box….

get over it
MTG collector boxes have always been expensive
modern mtg is garbage. loose the flippy cards, dice rolls, alt art, we dont need new mechanics every set
hearing him mispronounce almost every card is ..... hard to watch
