Probably one of the cheapest booster boxes and you can't even get $100 off one box (writing this at the start of the third box being opened).
by the way dude, you are pronouncing ezio's name wrong. it is pronounced et-see-o
Hah! You're not fooling me! I know all about comments section scammers!
You know, I've got this strange feeling that the professor may have pre-ordered 3 booster boxes of assassin's creed for $150 each, and therefore spent $450 on what I just saw...
What an odd inference to make!
Keep that to yourself, man. There are children that watch this show!
How dare you?!
Some assassin's box...I could see prof the whole time!
That can't possibly be the truth! Because that would be a very painful truth if that inference was in any way correct!
For a second I saw "no views" and was like damn, I guess it will.
Yeah, I saw that and thought the same thing. Then I realized it had just come out.
An hour later 15,745 views and 2K views. 😊 👍🏼
Imo you spoke too soon. Everyone has different time zones and lives to deal with, so no one can just jump on their Computer, Laptop, IPad, Cellphone or whatever device and look at their favorite channels for new vids at any/ every hour…
We got lives!
Work, house work, eating, sleeping, shopping… We focus on needs first and entertainment in our free time..
Prof MIGHT end up right but within the time span of only a few minutes of the first hour it was up- WAY too soon to speak.. 😅
Many Magic the Gathering players ask "Wait, this was actually released?"
yeah what is even going on is bloom buorw coming out this week?
@@VincentPascoe I feel like it, I mean wasn't I just seeing a ton of Duskmourn spoilers. Isn't that next?

I care not for the Assassin's Creed set, but I love me some Booster Box Game
You say this episode won't be the most watched, but this is the first time I've ever seen my cat so entranced by the TV!
Is he a templar?
Or an assasin in trainings?
kiss ass.
They say not every magic product is for you. So this magic product must have been for the cats 🐈.
It's the only way I'll see the inside of a pack so it'll get at least one view.
Prof, I mean this honestly, I really deeply appreciate how you framed your sponsor. I don’t have an issue with hair, but I do with some other parts of me, and that just made me smile. Thank you.
On the plus side, now you can wallpaper the studio in Shao Jun showcase cards. As long as "Xiao" spelled like "Shao" doesn't bother you.
The AC wiki article for Shao Jun has like 10 paragraphs regarding all the inconsistencies with her name.
I love when you do long video pack openings while you talk about a topic, like when you talked about planes while opening innistrad, wish you would do more of those!
I can't wait for the Professor's opinion on value boosters to be a video.
The product with so much value, Wizards wouldn't even announce the price!
They're probably going to be $3.99 for 7 cards, for a chance at not getting a rare! WOW! GREAT VALUE.
It really is just a scam. No rare slot, but on the booster it says upto 2 rares. Wow much great value
@@EineChillkroeteIt is. People can point at Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon all they want, but there are two huge differences with those products.
1: Pokemon 3 card boosters are $1 and only sold at smaller box stores like dollar general/tree/etc.
2: Speed Duel is its own format with much much smaller decks than both magic, or Yu-Gi-Oh proper. They usually only add up to be 20 cards.
This is just a way for wizards to sell even more bulk, further driving the prices of singles down to below the average 10-15 cents they go for now.
If they made packs like this aimed at Pauper Players, that might be the best way to actually get community interest behind them. Just say a mishmash of 10 cards, 9 common, 1 uncommon creature from the last three sets for $3. If Pauper takes off, prices on those cards go up a little due to pauper having an interest, etc. doesn't tank the value of commons like value boosters will guaranteedly do.
I'd be more interested in that than any other tiny booster product they're doing currently.
Like 1$ would still be a scam a decent chunk of time and I know they aren't going to be 1$
@@OrcaIguana at least the $1/3 cards is dividable into the typical $5/15 card booster pack, so the pricing makes sense. I know you don't get the guaranteed rare, but I bet the per card pricing of value boosters will be higher than a regular booster pack. I will be shocked if it's equal to at the very least.
Edit: Honestly if it was $1 for 3 cards (If there was guaranteed no lands) I'd be all over that. That creates some insane draft potential after a few sets. Going from 3 boosters to 9 where the pulls could literally be anything sounds like an interesting thing to do once or twice.
If there over $2 I'm not touching them lol
they really took the theme of Assassins Creed to heart - even the value in these boxes is hidden
You really killed it with that one
I love the juxtaposition between the royalty-free music going “Gonna make you dance, dance, dance” as your losing money 😂
What about 'Cardboard Caper' in there as well?
I could not care much for Assassins Creed but a Reconnaissance reprint and Shay Cormac being a really cool commander means I will be enjoying purchasing these cards (as singles!)
Get an etched foil Shay, it has a pretty funny misprint. ("bounty county")
Saw at least 1 basic Brotherhood Regalia that wasn't counted, but thats climbed up to like $6
At least 2
I thought I had a bad box by being even with the price I paid. Then I watched The Professor with a loss of almost 200$ and now I feel great! Thanks professor!
I like that they stuck to the themes of AC for this set, like The hidden ones because the value is sure hidden here!
Ba-Dum-Tss!
Assassin's Creed is a perfect franchise for MTG to give a set. Ubisoft and WotC are both amazing companies who definitely care about their employees and have never fired hundreds of people around Christmas pretty much annually to make the company look more profitable on Q4 earnings calls. Ubisoft in particular are such great allies to their trans employees too. I love how they've never systematically bullied or manufactured performance issues to push out a trans employee, black listing them, and ruin their chances of obtaining unemployment in the process. Just 2 wonderful small businesses getting together to make a reasonably priced, worthwhile product for this entirely relevant franchise. You love to see it.
Sarcastic?
Ooh, do I perhaps have a fellow Jimquisition viewer in the audience?
Don't forget Ubisoft's great stance on sexual harassment in the workplace, and definitely not over working employees to the point of mental burnout.
@@noesunyoutuber7680 you got me! 🤣 I'm a fairly new fan of Sterling to be honest, but a life long Ubisoft hater. And Blizzard/Activision. And EA.
@@wandering.albatross absolutely correct!
It's pretty sad when one card (Sword of Feast and Famine) covers 20% of a total box price but the remaining 23.8 packs can't cover the other 80%. I typically buy booster boxes because I want enough cards from a set that I end up getting most of what I wanted, but I knew this set was one that didn't interest me enough to justify it.
I took the recommended route of buying singles, and I got the four cards I wanted from this set for a little over $10. (Much better than paying $40 for a single copy of Cover of Darkness before the reprint.)
I skipped ahead...but only because this is a box opening video without the Prof ranting and raving during the process which I'd listen to every time.
Speaking of new stuff, Bloomburrow will have "Value boosters" with 7 cards a pack where 5 are uncommon and common. 1 is a wild card rarity so probably uncommon or common most times and 1 land or traditional foil or "guest" card
that is atrocious 💀
Maybe they will be $1. (Yeah, right)
I can't wait to not buy value boosters
@@zlink88relevant
@@AbaoA_Qu They should be a buck or two for kids but they'll be like 5 cause greed.
Imagine buying one of these boxes at your local shop and not even getting a sword of feast and famine. Pure disappointment would envelope my very soul. Once again prof, you’ve convinced me to just big singles. Best advice I’ve ever received. Looking forward bloomburrow. Keep up the good work!
the real kicker is the multiple playsets of nickel foils and straight trash...
I did buy a box but thankfully I got an ezio, black market connections, and a showcase sword. Didn't get my money back but I'm an Altair away from everything I want from this set.
Can't wait for the Value Booster Box game
"Can we get $100 worth of rares and mythics out of this Value Booster Box, which is what I paid for it? Let's find out!"
Spoiler Alert: He will not.
@@Stray7watch he just pulls 2 list cards that somehow pay for their respective boxes by shear luck and has to open 3 anyways lol
While I like these videos I especially like it when you talk through opening instead of playing music.i like hearing your insights and opinions as you open the cards.
He does that for collector booster boxes, not play boosters boxes.
This set supplied me with so many new cards! As soon as the set dropped, all seven singles were in my checkout from my local game stores online store. $30 later and I'm never looking at this set ever again.
Recently built your Tom Bombadil deck with some slight alterations and additions from this AC set because of the amazing historic synergy!
what did you add?
@@gamersrevenge6528some irony and few singletons of sarcasm.
Doing my part to watch and engage! Thank you Professor! Just watched your Shuffle Up and Play with your The Master, Above All deck, and I enjoyed it immensely. I was rooting for you to win!
Can’t say this set is “for me,” but thanks for the little tour, Prof.
The full-art lands are very nice 😎🍷
Close to none have been sold at my local shop lol.. Maybe 10yrs ago this collab might have worked lol
My LGS discounted it within a few days of release. I still refuse to support Aftermath/Beyond boosters (even though it's easy for me as this set only has 3 singles I want haha).
I like the lands.... that is about it. guess i'll be able to get them cheap in single probably.
This is made so much worse by the modern horizons 3 packs where every time I open one I find a card that I want to go put into one of my decks and then get excited to play a game with it
I really hope you never stop doing these videos Professor. I love the music you use in these vids. It's so much fun to have in the background
Damn, this set isa scam
Love your videos you will be the first I support on patreon right after I park my semi. Thank you for what you do for the tcg community
For a second i was sure he was gonna say "im opening up one more box, because ive got a problem".
When you open up $40 in the first 3 packs and its 'Ezi-Yo!' And you get to the end of the box and it's more 'Ar-No...'
Thank you for showing us that while a few cards are worth a lot, the boxes overall aren't worth even the reduced cost.
A signed full art land from one of my favorite Magic YT channels? Hell yeah!
Happy to support :)
22:32 Prof, will you be opening the new and exciting Value Boosters when Bloomburrow is released? 😂
What are value boosters now? I can’t keep track of this nonsense
@@datenschutzification 7-card packs with no guaranteed rare slot
@datenschutzification a new type of booster pack (as far as I know they're only going to big box stores like Walmart and target) that only have 7 cards. With 3 commons 2 uncommons a "wild card" of any rarity, and then a full art land. Yes it's just as bullshit as it sounds. It's the chaff of a draft pack without the ability to be drafted.
@@themoops4006 lol, ppl will buy it regardless
I just want to say thank you for opening another box as a fan of both MTG and Assassin's Creed. I appreciated it and lived vicariously through this video as it may be some time before I am able to purchase this box.
"Get a mythic rare or get nothing" the set
Ya know, a contrast video would be super cool too. See what you could do with $450 in singles.
idk the math, but easily one of each card in the set. maybe a set in foil
I shall be viewing and liking at default to support the channel. My feelings are for the comment section.
A NEW PROF VIDEO?!? Hell yeah!!
Agree you're lookin' good either way, but I will say I'm happy to hear you're growing it back out.
When he said that everyone is sexy I was like, oh why thank you, but when he got to the sponsor part, I lost it
"i hate these business practices"
proceeds to buy 3x the amount of product
Casually blowing past $5+ brotherhood regalias is amusing
Give it a week, it'll be
@@t.yop9 an uncommon in a 100 card set with no commons is basically a common.
I stopped playing long ago (War of the spark, but I did go to prerelease for Neon). This is how much I enjoy your content. I’m viewing this video.
Prof I'll always watch your booster box opening vids. But dam it is tough watching openings of sets like this.
Don't forget that product fatigue is really hitting for many people. This is overwhelming at this point for normal folks. I always wonder why MTG + WOTC focuses on diversity and equity when they forget the most damning one of all: financially accessibility and diversity.
These things shouldn't be mutually exclusive, the sin WOTC makes it being extremely greedy in terms of profit motive, and equally short sighted.
You misspelled hasbro
Yeah, MH3 had so many cool cards in it, I'm still figuring out what I want to do with it all. And we already have AC, and Bloomburrow is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to that, but it's so much so fast
The greedy financial practices of corporations have nothing to do with diversity or equity and inclusion.
Wizards and hasbro will keep making product as expensive as they can to maximize profit, and won't stop if the profits are still going up.
giving vid a view cause The Professor worked hard on a video. ALSO BLOOMBURROW LOOKS TO ADORABLE!!!
Just waiting on the Final Fantasy release!
Now that's a partnership I'm excited for
you know the Prof will make more on this video then on the box openings. the joys of being a content creator!
Valiant effort. Great channel
I know this is not a set that you have enjoyed, but the the Assassin's Creed community it has been a blast sharing pulls and having conversations about the game. A lot of new people will get into Magic because of this and I appreciate that fact and what WotC and Ubisoft have done to release a fun set for the community.
While it may not be a set that the general Magic community may enjoy, there is an audience who is loving it.
Truth be told this set should have gone the way the warhammer 40k and fallout sets did. Commander deck with a collector booster box. That way the cards may have accurately held value.
There isn't enough lore for varied theme decks in The assassin's Creed universe. There is only two factions.
@@wraithflaire1639Eh you could maybe stretch for 4 if you included hermeticists and instruments of the first will as their own factions but at that point you are really getting into the weeds and you need a lot more historical characters to flesh it all out.
“You look great whether you got hair on your head or hair on your bal.. ding”
Haha I wasn’t thinking it, I swear
Love your videos, thank you doing these. I absolutely love this set. But I'm also a fan of the video game lore.
I was able to preorder a box for $109 out the door. I figured I'd get enough cards to make a fun Ezio Auditore da Firenze assassin's commander deck. Nope. Didn't pull Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Brotherhood Regalia, Achilles Davenport, or even haystack! I had to go buy them all :/
The regular Brotherhood Regalia is like $7 now. Foil is $8.
I got a cracked box with a value of 170 with all the rares
Eizo show case, edward, sword of feast, basmin show case and regular, 2 black market connection. And other stuff. I thought I broke even until edward and basmin shot up in price.
I do like cracking open booster boxes, when I have the disposable income for it. And that's only because I like opening the cards up not because I'm trying to find some monetary gain out of it. But for universes beyond sets like assassin's Creed, I'll just buy the commander decks and any single that catch my eye.
I had no idea this product was already on sale...
I just started playing Magic a week ago and, I’m definitely not good 😂
But I just love AC and really want to make a deck for commander!
U r such a great guy Prof, I’ll get u in Patreon 😁
I can't believe how many boxes you opened! Everyone reading this before watching the video yet should definitely watch until the end
I really enjoyed my pack opening experience and feel like I got very lucky with it. I got a bundle, booster box, and collectors box, and got almost every card in the set. I missed a couple ones I was after (Edward the biggest), but I got a foil etched Ezio Auditore, showcase foil Altair, a borderless Sword of F&F, and lots of high value versions of other cards. I got almost all the cards I wanted for the Assassins Creed assassin tribal historic commander deck I was scheming, just need to order some lands to fill it out. I definitely spent more on it than I could have buying early, but I am otherwise pleased!
I like the booster box game, but I personally prefer the ones where we hear you talk while you’re opening the packs and guessing the price
wholeheartedly agree about the lands being gorgeous, i hadnt seen the lands from this set until this video and they are gorgeous
Even though I DON’T enjoy universes beyond, I DO enjoy you, Prof! So even if it’s a pack I don’t care about I’ll still watch :) keep up the good work!!
You could also do a reverse booster box challenge: if you don't refound in value the cards, you open another box! :D
I'm actually wondering how many boxes you'd open this way on AC collector
These are one my favorite style of videos from the Tolarian Community College
1:30 Thumbs for the editor for putting the quote in there (there’s no way Prof knew that).
there are just way too many sets >.< but thanks for trying to make high quality videos for all of it! we appreciate you guys!
There was literally a single card i wanted for my bombadil deck; Eivor. Which i got as a single, great value for my bombadil deck!
all i hear is the professor preordered 3 boxes to help out his local game store to get better product in there
His local game store is Card Kingdom😅
I opened a collector box today and pulled a numeric card 🙃 also love tolarian community helped me and my friends learn alot and helped me get better at this game.
Missed a Brotherhood Regalia toward the end!
The interesting thing is that all 3 boxes were pretty consistent, meaning that if they drop to the $80-85 range, they might be a good pick up to open.
Hey prof! Just wanted to say that i love assassins creed and magic and that if no one else will watch at least i will!
I bought one box and pulled a showcase foil Basim, two Swords of Feast and Famine (one borderless), two Cover of Darkness, a Black Market Connection, and a borderless Ezio so I feel like I got my money’s worth. I’m working on building 4 commanders from this set, so I’m super excited with my pulls!
Thanks prof. You took one for the team
This episode would make a fun drinking game. Take a shot every time Prof gets whatever legendary uncommon you the view pick. I guarantee you will be drunk before box 2.
Leaving a like and comment because you're doing important work here.
I decided to hop on that Patreon, because we love you at our house Prof!
Ouch, that was rough. At least the small packs limit the amount of suffering you have to endure opening that set.
I look forward to seeing if these end up cheaper than aftermath boxes
Got lucky on stream last night opened one pack of Assassins Creed Play Booster and pulled the Ezio full art. First pack in months that I got a card over 5$.
I'm so sorry you went through that also thank you for saving me money. I thought about picking up a booster box if the assassins creed set. Not any more.
I will never let this channel go!!
I’d love to hear your early reaction to the new value packs for bloomburrow. Not doing the math or anything, just a knee jerk reaction.
Universe's beyond assassin's creed aka: that set you thought was a fever dream and had to realize was real
remember when opening another box was celebratory?
That's a nice little beat that started at 5 minutes.
Gosh, after that I'm gonna get a Keeps sub just to help you out.
Thanks for posting a vid on my birthday prof
I had the same feeling when i opened a box of Dominaria Remastered. Thanks prof.
I got every single I wanted from this set for less than half of what you spent on a single box...
Thank you for your sacrifice Prof and crew!
I usually watch these videos to get an understanding of what cards are going to be frequently pulled in the set.
