    Gee, I wonder why public confidence in WOTC products is so low.

    • @bonaface
      @bonaface Před 7 měsíci +1

      right? such a painful opening experience!! this was a rip off.

    • @Reformed322
      @Reformed322 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Constantly the same reprints that no one needs or wants anymore. Nothing new or flavorful. Art is good with this product and that’s it. Oh and the enormous price increase. Like, that’s what’s BS, I’m fortunate to have a pretty good paying job, but a lot of people that go to my LGS’s aren’t so fortunate and haven’t been able to purchase new boxes for a while simply because the value isn’t worth the price anymore, by a long shot.

    • @josephpurdy8390
      @josephpurdy8390 Před 8 měsíci +1

      All those 2.50 dollar basic lands. Its an insult and people completely ignore it. They treat it as acceptable card chaff. That is deserved for just having the opportunity to open packs.

  • @cobaltplasma
    @cobaltplasma Před 8 měsíci +69

    This feels like another experiment by Wizards to see how much consistency they have to put in a set to push both revenue and incite and prey upon gambling by the player base. Personally I hate the portrait cards so it’s absolutely not worth it to me at that price point, would be better off just buying singles I want.

    • @MrLogistician
      @MrLogistician Před 7 měsíci +4

      I hated the portraits too, but they were cheaper, so I bought a few as singles, and they're MUCH better looking in person than in photo/render/video. Also, the borderless foil command tower he got is currently about 3.5$ USD.

  • @Laevateinn-
    @Laevateinn- Před 7 měsíci +6

    and thank you for removing the literal worst collector box from circulation for us.

  • @ragnar0
    @ragnar0 Před 8 měsíci +22

    I'm glad this Video was made, it is proof of WOTCs Greed to push a product and charge more for a "Premium product" but then doesn't really give us Premium cards in said product.

  • @lozsmb18
    @lozsmb18 Před 8 měsíci +47

    Maybe at $100 Ill consider a box. Def not worth it if you have the potential to whiff that hard 😬

    • @MrLogistician
      @MrLogistician Před 7 měsíci +4

      It's ridiculous the sticker price was jacked up by at least 100%, and yet they cut the amount of packs from 12 to 4.....so the effective mark-up is at least 6 times.

  • @Lkashi1
    @Lkashi1 Před 8 měsíci +22

    Dang that's rough, but thank you for doing this so we don't have to.

  • @hansvader3791
    @hansvader3791 Před 8 měsíci +11

    the funny part they reprinted most of the value in the bonus sheet of the next STANDARD set.

  • @TheAngelRaven
    @TheAngelRaven Před 8 měsíci +14

    Where I work, a single pack is $80 and we have no ability to discount the products.
    I spent most likely a minimum of $600 where I work - with a marginal discount to get down to that price - on Baldur's Gate solely for Ancient Copper. I love the rush of pulling from packs, but even I can't imagine spending much on a 'premium' set like Commander Masters if the pulls are so hit or miss.

  • @mistysowards7365
    @mistysowards7365 Před 7 měsíci +13

    These would be a hard to buy option at 100$ and in 6months when nobody has any $ they will be extremely hard to sell at 100$

  • @AlexFarleyMusic
    @AlexFarleyMusic Před 8 měsíci +18

    I had tossed around the idea of getting one at some point, but this is convincing me otherwise.

  • @mfdoom1898
    @mfdoom1898 Před 8 měsíci +8

    For the price and the fact that its only 4 packs, there should be absolutely NO duplication. Collector boxes in general shouldn't have duplicates, especially back to back bulk cards. That and the fact the cards that do end up holding any value, WOTC will destroy the first chance they get, is why i haven't given wotc money in 3-4 years

  • @frommemory9097
    @frommemory9097 Před 7 měsíci +4

    • @davidarmstrong3964

      My thought exactly. Super low mythic count and the box looked real weird before he even opened it.

  • @muhlor
    @muhlor Před 7 měsíci +1

    i bought a collector box of CMM for myself and it looked exactly like yours. I had 4 cards in it worth mentioning: 2 Commander duals in full art foil and back to back Ur-Dragon Profile Card, one Foil, one none Foil. For around $220 i believe. Last Collector Box of my life, i guess.

  • @joeh3h
    @joeh3h Před 3 měsíci +1

    Very informative and thanks for the info! Use scissors to open your packs though LOL!

  • @josephpurdy8390
    @josephpurdy8390 Před 8 měsíci

    1 card out of that box. It has the same price as buying a Bee 52 playing card deck wholesale. The quality difference of the card stock is noticeable between them.

  • @jaggedsigns3O11
    @jaggedsigns3O11 Před 7 měsíci

    I bought one booster from my lgs for around $60, etched kozilek and foil deflecting swat. I considered myself happy, I had fun with my pulls and refused to roll the dice again lol.

  • @far_north_magic5852
    @far_north_magic5852 Před 8 měsíci +1

    I took the plunge and got a case at the sale price. I was a bit worried but only got a few terrible boxes but none that bad. I think I was just very very lucky 4 lotus and lots of free spells definitely a product that was miss priced. It will be interesting if wotc learns from it or not.

    • @c.malicious
      @c.malicious Před 8 měsíci

      Unfotunately I think they just keep learning the wrong lessons... Doesn't cost much to print, so they really don't need it to be hugely popular in order to make money on it. I bet this was a huge win for them, really.

  • @schondos8073
    @schondos8073 Před 7 měsíci

  • @dbradford32
    @dbradford32 Před 7 měsíci

    I only.opened one of the collector boosters and got a foil full art demonic tutor, foil etch doubling season and a few other goodies. I think I paid 69 bucks the day they launched or day after.

  • @SargentGiraffe
    @SargentGiraffe Před 7 měsíci

    I got really lucky with my box I paid €250 but I pulled the value in two cards one of them being the full art foiled jeweled lotus. Not the textured but I was still really happy

  • @wademiller2376
    @wademiller2376 Před 7 měsíci

  • @kapiatgatas
    @kapiatgatas Před 7 měsíci

    The reason I cancelled all my preorders. I was hype because of the Jeweled Lotus. I spent $5K in Commander Legends and it doubled my profit and I was able to play the extra cards I had like Jeweled Lotus. A distributor was selling for $135 and $650 for a case. I went to buy instead a $150 Unfinity CB. It got 4 Shock Lands and 1 of those was a Galaxy Foil. I definitely got my money back and profited on the basic lands.

  • @headwrinkle9896
    @headwrinkle9896 Před 7 měsíci

    I was always under the impression that unless youre opening alot of product that packs are just not the way to go. Been playing since Tempest, and I recommend just trading for/ buying singles and opening prize support, you'll save yourself an absolute fortune and it makes getting shit packs easier to stomach

    @82ndmi Před 8 měsíci +1

    No. I got one for 145 and had $65 in rares and luckily hit one foil frame break lotus to save it. It literally had to be the set chase card to make $40.

  • @EdwinRosario432
    @EdwinRosario432 Před 7 měsíci

    What they should of done was the aftermath epilogue treatment.
    They should of charged $50 to $60 for a mini box of 30 packs with each pack being 5 cards. 1 rare or mythic, 2 uncommon and 3 commons.
    You get to participate in the product at a *low* entry cost, get access to a pool of very playable cards, don't get too many copies of cards since you only need 1 copy for commander, and wotc wins by not having to print 3x the amount of cardboard of pure jank or bulk nobody is going to use.
    I think that would of been a much better value proposition.

  • @ryancahill728
    @ryancahill728 Před 7 měsíci

    The only two good cards, as is more than $10 that I got in mine were a grand abolisher extended foil and a textured Kozilek… which I was happy to pull a textured card but I dont think I got even half my $ back. I got 0 of the commander specific instants or any of the good new set specific cards… it was bleak! I had already stopped buying boxes and that reminded me why. I bought ALL of the singles I wanted, Ext foil, etched and standard foil play sets of each and a jewled lotus etched for less than what I paid for the box.

  • @yyc1643

  • @MechaFoxs
    @MechaFoxs Před 6 měsíci

    Even if you manage to sell those, you will lose a third of it to fees, shipping, and taxes. Can be great trade fodder though. If the box was 100, then it would be worth it.

    There’s no controversy. There was nothing they could’ve put into this set to make it worth it. I know stores have to order stuff to keep their allocation but it should have been obvious the losses this set would cause were not worth keeping your allocation

  • @bayanimanansala5220
    @bayanimanansala5220 Před 8 měsíci

    The most casual players are also the easiest target because a lot of them treat the game too casually to care about prices. They only care about something going into their decks. Even if its a $1 card.

    bought 2 boxes on release, and got super hosed. no more mtg product buying for me... spend 500 to get 100 worth of cards that quickly dropped in price...wotc seem to look at card prices when they decide what to put in the these boxes to make them appealing enough on preorder to sell a bunch, then people release that expensive cards were only expensive due to scarcity which now doesnt exist and the prices drop off when wotc doesnt care anymore. they have already sold their premium products to vendors, and dont have to do another print run unless there is one needed...
