Wizards of the Coast today announced DOUBLE MASTERS! Double rares in every pack. Double foils! Box toppers with alternate borderless art! And! And....ZERO FETCHLANDS! Because why would a Masters set have fetchlands? My epic meltdown about how they refuse to reprint anything can be seen in full on the recent DTR here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8I-dv6h1pdc.html

i havent bought packs in ages and when i got my ikoria box i was disappointed that the rares were up front. part of the wonder was slowly go through and seeing the final card

I feel like.. aside from companions, Ikoria was a fine set. It isn't broken but has fun cards. The way Magic should be.

@sylphanscribe6492 4 года назад

I feel the same about the last few sets. A few very pushed cards spoiled much of these sets in the eyes of the community, but beyond that they're not bad at all.

@ROMANTIKILLER2 4 года назад

this set isn't broken? Apart from companions that you have already mentioned, most of mythics and rares have entire walls of texts of what the card can do, and we are are talking of creatures with CMC usually 2-4. Vivian and the new red planeswalker can easily be a 5 CMC "I win the game" (although admittedly not as ridicolous as Oko). Also, utate is one of the most confusing mechanics in years, although I admit the "build your monster" concept is interesting and can be fun, despite me personally not particularly liking it but that's of course a matter of taste (I also find a joke these creature types with cat dinosaur nightmare and things like that).

Thanks as always for doing these for us, Prof. I might be alone in this, but I wish you had revealed all the commons and uncommons as well, not necessarily one at a time but at least as a quick ruffle through the pack. There won't be anything of value, but I'd like to see what showcase cards you get, and it gives a better understanding of the draft environment. There's something inherently different about experiencing a set as a visual spoiler and experiencing it as realized cardboard, and /knowing/ how often a card will show up based on its rarity still doesn't "click" like actually cracking packs and /feeling/ how often a card will show up.

Not quite as good as his 1st but better than his 2nd. But I thought it would help my card base because I just got back into MTG in March.

@Hephaestus_God 4 года назад

To be fair this set has the lowest expected value of cards out of any set in Magic. (It is currently around $67 as of writing this) Along with the corona virus stuff, a month delay, and a recession this makes it pretty hard to pull $100 out of this booster box currently. You're second box was a little under this but was about normal. Your first box was very abnormal, pulled one of the best foil rares and got a lot of planeswalkers. If all this stuff wasn't going on, and the hype of the set was at it's peak (a month ago, since all the MTG arena people have been playing with it) I think this set would have kept you going to 5-6 boxes.

@werbearjack 4 года назад

Wow, what a lop-sided set. I have seen several of your Booster Box Games and usually the ticker is slowly trickling up with many cards being slightly above $2 and some big value cards every now and then. But this time around that didn't really happen; stuff was either below $1.50 of above $5 with very little in between. Hit the triomes, a planeswalker or one of the other select few cards or bust. Even most companions and all ultimatums are super low; not to mention the box toppers. I wonder how these prices will change once normal play is possible again - for now it seems you can easily pick up some great rare and mythic singles for cheap.

@anblueboot5364 4 года назад

I don't think they will change, it's just like with theros where thx to the mystery booster the price of everything but a handfull of cards just drop down to a very cheap price, which I as a player don't mind realy because I can get those 3 colored lands for super cheap even their special alternate art version ! (but it seems that the prices don't drop as badly as with theros I think ??? Not sure and don't want to make a comparision right now ^^")

@Welverin 4 года назад

Part of it is due to the delayed physical release. People had plenty of time to play with the cards online and figure out what was good or not, which resulted in prices leveling out before the cards made it to stores. If you were to compare what prices were like for previous sets a month after release they would be much closer to this.

Hey Prof, just a small little note for you when you're cracking packs like this. If you get a box that has the pack order reversed like your first box, take a look at the top right of the packs. These are Japanese style packs, and they all have a little zip starter that makes opening them on the *side* a bit easier, instead of trying to crack them as you do.

Also I like the idea to have some cards for trading with friends. It's also a good way to support my LGS as they rarely open products for singles. Tbh I also still don't grasp that people open these to make money.
