@pedrobrito2158 2 года назад

I actually tried Audible and it’s amazing. I got The Lord of The Rings and it's read by Andy Serkis, the same actor that plays Gollum in the movies. His reading is marvelous, he does one different voice for each character and is very passionate about Tolkien's work. He even emulates other actors' voices from the movies, it seems like Ian McKellen or Sean Bean are reading it too. I don't know about other audible books, but this is one is a must have.

@aveen1968 2 года назад

I agree I bought a set booster box, and I legitimately felt that there was a distribution error. I pulled 2 mythics out of the box, it felt so incredibly disappointing and mediocre. Neither of the mythics were of any value either earning this set a hard pass if you enjoy cracking packs.

@coreywn 2 года назад

@maz4849 2 года назад

I got the same result. It ticked me off even more when I saw bundles ($70 less here in Canada) and draft boxes still getting the same or more mythics than mine. They also ALL had at least one ancient dragon, while I got none - only regular tasha and puzzlebox. Told my LGS about it and they mentioned how the average was suppose to be 4-5 mythics per box...*sigh*

@chrisg1045 2 года назад

This is the set that has finally made me realize I need to stop buying packs and just buy singles. My friends and I opened up 5 set boxes between us and out of all those boxes and packs we saw only TWO ancient dragons and only TWO of the rare lands. Something definitely seems wrong with the pull rates of some cards in this set. I'll happily buy only singles though going forward for any future set after this experience.

@AndiRCR 2 года назад

Congreat. Hope you will be honest to you in Future Sets.

@billdoetsch 2 года назад

I think the legendary slots in set booster really take up the space that you'd be seeing a land or a dragon. And none of the commanders seem really worth it- lukewarm and reliant on a gimmicky background. Really disappointing for someone who loves Baldurs Gate.

@ninjafished 2 года назад

I bought a set box and got 0 rare lands and 0 elder dragons. Plenty of mythics but not what I was hoping for :-(

@bulbasaurappreciator Год назад

5 boxes is pretty nuts if you're doing this to get cards and not purely for trying to get lucky on EV. You should absolutely stop doing that if it's affecting you in any way.

@TheGprinziv Год назад

The set skews hard with legendaries. 3 of the 7 potential rares are limited to backgrounds, creatures/backgrounds, and creatures/backgrounds/PWs.

I'm holding off for now though, as the price for a case has dropped from $599 for a pre-order to $539 right at release to $519 now (so about $87 per box).

@JoeyDCharts 2 года назад

the information in this video is a little old. value in the rare slot has developed in Archivist of Oghma, Displacer Kitten, and Black Market Connections ($15+ cards). the dragons have increased in price, and the borderless full monty foil versions of them are quite expensive if you can pull one (kind of in line with the neon art cards in kamigawa collectors), and you can theoretically get one in a set or draft box. that being said it's still pretty close to release so we'll have to wait and see

I will be picking up some singles, but mainly variants from the collectors packs.

Out of 40-ish Rares/Mythics from the box, the most valuable card I managed to crack was an Ancient Silver Dragon (regular) and a Goldspan Dragon off the List.

@marcusmyers4822 Год назад

Kind of feels like they had leftover cards that didn’t make the cut for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, but not quite enough for another mainline set, and decided they would throw in some reprints slap on commander legends 2 on the label, then call it a day.

Oh, the Collector Box Crate was 260 bucks.

@Tazzer88 2 года назад

I fully approve of playing the actual limited format of this set, especially in a 4-player scenario. I've never been good at limited in the past, but this environment felt completly different from anything I've played previously and it even translated into winning a pod at my prerelease for it. Granted I never got a chance to draft the first Commander Legends set, but if the experience i got was par for the course then it is well worth the time and effort to try it out.

@williammahaney3302 2 года назад

This past Monday I also finally opened MY set booster box. I kid you not, I had 5 etched foils that had the non-foil rare right behind them in same pack. Additionally only got 1 mythic from the actual set, and another one in my list slot for a total of two. Wasn't too splendid of a process of opening. Much like professor said, it was very lackluster experience even from the stand of just 'cracking' packs in comparison to commander legends 1...

Back in my day, you had a booster pack. the pack came with 15 cards. sometimes a foil. I recall when they first came out I thought it was cool. We also had this 75-card box come with lands too for like $13ish was kinda cool. Now it just seems like a mess, so many products so many kinds of cards foil, magic foil, super dc lsd foil fromo foil! foil foil foil oh foil;oh foil. just crazy. oh! one more thing.. our cards did not come prebent and they kept their shape. those new self-folding/ curling cards baffle me.

I've never had a good experience when drafting the last Commander Legends. Something always went wrong. Here though, was actually very enjoyable and I even pulled out the win. But, as prof said, there's a goblin sized hole that I feel will be filled in double masters coming up.

@vaderwashere365 2 года назад

Great review of the set boosters for sure. It is so bad, that you can get 2x Bundles for $85-$90 (with a bunch of random stuff) to get 2x less set booster packs than a box that is $100-$110 and "save" $10-$20. The draft was great for our playgroup and staunch Standard drafters even had fun. I was pretty lucky in that draft booster box and got better mythic cards than I have seen out of any of my friends' set booster boxes. I am also delighted that the single prices are falling fast. Still waiting a couple weeks before picking up more lands and dragons, but happy hunting out there!

The lack of noteworthy reprints in this set is truly baffling. I've bought prerelease packs for a draft or sealed with friends, but I know I'm gonne lose value on them and I am not very excited about 99% of the cards in the set. I have to say, it's hard to swallow after having cracked booster boxes of Commander Legends 1 and Modern Horizons 2. Those were filled with powerful cards!

FYI since release, Displacer Kitten has gone up to $14, and Deep Knome Terramancer, Archivist of Oghma, and Black Market Connections have all gone up to $17-$18 each all as normal rares. Also Herald's Horn and Skullclamp are $6-$6.50 uncommons.

Pro tip for your future draft experience! Use Roll20 to create a digital map out of the Undercity card and throw that map up on a screen at your table. You can move your players through and make the Initiative mechanic a little easier to handle across your play group. If you're feeling even cooler, you can have your players take a pic of their commander, send it to you, and put them in the map! Also, you might want to find a way to incorporate a "Who's got the initiative" chart.

I was just getting back into the game and I was at target buying milk or socks or whatever and I bought a set booster. Inside was a ton of cards that all seemed incredibly fun and that nearly all had some interesting mechanic or flavor. Every pack was just getting me back into Commander. It was great. So I built a Baldurs Gate Commander cube and I LOVE it. 3 of every common, 2 of every uncommon and 1 of everything else plus a few additional thriving lands to round it out, I have 39x 20 card packs that I can crack anytime with friends or solo if I just want to get my deck building juices flowing. If anyone who worked on the draft environment for Baldurs gate reads this just know that your ideas have brought me joy, and that’s why Baldurs Gate is my favorite set.

Welp that killed my fomo! Ty for the breakdown Prof!

@robsupercool 2 года назад

Good job again prof. Can you do this for Digimon booster boxes as well?

Yeah, it was strange to me that staples like Dockside Extortionist and Teferi's Protection didn't make the cut. And then, Double Masters previews began, and we found out WHERE all the Commander staple reprints ended up. It's super frustrating that WOTC split up the commander cards between these two sets, creating a number of new cards that are basically draft chaff for Baldur's Gate while using the cards commander players actually want to pad one of their overpriced Masters sets.

I'm so excited cause I had to miss the prerelease. But I have a box and we're all gonna meet up this Sunday and draft it up

A lot of people are talking about the low pull rates on the dragons but there seemed to be a fair amount of them floating around at my LGS's pre-release. Hell, I even drafted two of them myself, silver and bronze (and a Battle Angels of Tyr).

Wow I usually preorder or buy a set booster from lgs, but for some reasons, I procrastinated this time and I m glad I did; thanks for this video.

I picked up a bundle and has an issue where I would pull duplicates in several packs. Kinda soured the experience and I definitely agree with your set booster evaluation. Then I pulled a ancient gold dragon out of one of those dumb collector booster throw ins in one of the commander decks. Definitely felt like a rug pull lol.

I picked up a Set box to try mixing in occasionally to Chaos drafts. Only catches are I also need to remove/keep any List card that pops up.

@chrisrod657 2 года назад

I only picked up bc I sold 11 cards to CK and had a lot of credit. Set booster box was disappointing. Probably pulled $45-50 worths of rares/mythics. Not counting anything under $2. I can’t be mad though, I’d rather have all these cards vs 11 cards I traded in 😎

Another great video, Professor! I decided not to buy the boxes, I'll buy singles instead :)

I was playing draft at my LGS and some guy just passed me the Ancient copper dragon, I could not believe it!

@OriginalMokthol 2 года назад

I got a Bundle from this set (and a few extra packs) and I was pretty lucky with the pulls, all the lands, and a number of cards I was looking for anyways. The most expensive card was from the List though, an Ink-Eye, Servant of Oni

With the announced price increases in 2022 Dominaria United Draft boxes will be going for about $120 (up about 0.70 per booster from previous releases). These being about $4 per draft pack doesn't actually seem like that much of a 'premium' when you consider that the price of every upcoming standard product from now on will be going up.

I've drafted this set twice. Both times the drafting process was fun. Getting to pick 2 cards with each pass instead of the usual 1 really does seem to double the fun factor. When it came time to shuffle up and play, I haven't had a great time with this set. The two games I played were super grindy and slow. There also is a wide gap in viability between many of the commanders.

@Dolphgrim 2 года назад

That's too bad to hear that you had a rough time playing. My group had fun and our commanders were largely uncommon and two of them had the background cards which were somewhat lower powered. Also, the initiative and goad mechanics made gameplay smooth and fast. For what it's worth, I made a roll20 Undercity dungeon map to put on a screen at the table which helped give a visual aid about everyone's status and a more cohesive experience across the board. :)

Set boosters are not good for this but i can vouch for the draft. Its super fun!

@MasonSeamancer 2 года назад

I bought a draft box to play with some friends and I ended up pulling: 1 morphic pool, 1 bountiful promenade, 1 sea of clouds, 1 elminster, 1 ancient gold dragon, and 1 dnd art brass dragon. It was alot of fun drafting this set and was surprised by some of the cards I pulled.

@billbuehler4959 2 года назад

I bought a set booster on impulse at my LGS. Definitely should have just looked up the card list and bought the singles I wanted

@RatedRKO269 2 года назад

I was really looking forward to this set. I work weekends so I always have to take a day off a month in advance for pre releases but here in Japan the set got delayed a week after the initial pre release date so I was unable to attend. Shame as it seems like it must’ve been fun to draft
