HE'S TRYING TO USE HIS OWN MONEY FOR PERSONAL GAIN! GET HIM

Pretty sure prof single handedly brought down the price of marsh flats in this episode

I liked the part where he opened Marsh Flats.

WotC: How many Marsh Flats do you want? The Prof: Yes

Rudy's like "no way you can get 5 fetches in a box" and the prof is like "here, hold my merfolks"

Long enough episode to be "Lofi beats to watch your teacher gamble while you study."

I honestly just assumed you'd keep any cards you want and sell the rest.

I think Prof's LGS was looking forward to this more than us.

7 boxes and only saw 1 Chitterfang squirrel general. Guess i'm buying him alone.

The Professor: Do whatever you want as long as you aren't getting into debt or anything. The Command Zone: Upstart loans can consolidate your debts into one monthly payment.

I feel like Marsh Flats has its own rarity compared to the other fetches, lol

Hey, this is a really random comment, but thanks for introducing me to Pauper all those years back. Been struggling finding fun in Magic recently and Pauper has been my way back into it.

You know this is going to be good with a one hour runtime!!

Oh boy, you know you're in for a ride when you see that the video is over 1 HOUR long! What a crazy set 😄

Wow, this has got to be a record! Now I'm wondering if you would've gotten even further with set booster boxes. But yes, you could fully buy into a Modern deck or more with those same funds😉

I love the visible excitement you can see, just in the hand gestures, when the Prof opens up the retro frame dockhand. So wholesome.

I always appreciate the honest intent of the content you produce. It’s looking out for the players and the LGS to support an individual community. That’s always been true so thank you for your content.

Just wanted to say that I appreciate how transparent you are about what you do with the cards.

Was anyone else just terrified of the urza the entire time?

You spent $1925 in a matter of days! Your local shop must love you.

I have been waiting for this! I know these are really tedious for you but they are really fun to watch so thank you!

Hi Prof just commenting to say Thankyou, I’ve been watching the channel since I began magic and you’ve really helped me a lot along the way! You’ve also become a family favourite as I’ve taught my dad and brother in law to play the game 🥰

I'm in love with the saga of 69 "Nice", "Still Nice" "Not Nice today?" for diamond lion

Last time I was this early, Urza was still alive.

Frankly I love that you’re giving yourself an exception for your favorite cards. You deserve it!

Finally!!! Let’s see the Professors luck!!! Class is in session.

That 4th box was BEAUTIFUL. Brought a tear to my eye :)

Huh, I already always assumed you "buy" cards from the pool that you want to keep.

He did miss quite a few prismatic endings. Even then the value of the boxes was insane. Thanks for the video!

That beat starting at the opening of the second box is funky! Love it.

After watching this video, I just want to say that I enjoy watching these videos. It helps me decide if that set is worth buying a box or just a bundle (fat) pack. Keep up the great work prof! Love what you do!

"will i get playesets of both these rare cards in a special frame treatment" "NO! :)"

Honestly, until I found your channel, I had no idea that buying singles was more cost effective than cracking packs. I mean I played in middle school, so like 1996ish, had few resources then and not too much access to local game stores, then fell out of MTG by High School. Picked it up more recently and grabbed some boxes, just because cracking packs was fun.I honestly didn't realize all the resources out there or that you could construct decks online and then buy those cards specifically (lol, clearly I lived in a cave). Your videos have really helped me enjoy the MTG experience so much more (not just financial tips, but deck construction, and product reviews). So, I'm glad you remind us that buying singles can be a way to go. :) Thanks so much for your fantastic channel!

More than one hour cause its one of the best sets in the past years. Nice fetches omg now i know why this video took more than a week:)

@0:40 the plamats text blends so good with the on screen text, I was confused for a moment why point 4 of the plan was "aquire legacy folis".

When I see you pass the Tireless Provisoners my heart aches a bit

Your signature makes it more valuable to me prof!

Me: *sees the duration of the video* Ah well, I expected nothing less from this product.

First, let me say thank you for doing what you do. Your dedication to educating the newer members of the community is invaluable. Second, I also wanted to thank you for addressing the shallow thinking comments of some that would say, as you gave example "I will save you blah blah minutes, buy singles!". As you have pointed out many times over, that advise is sound advice. Anyone who is just looking for a specific card should not be opening entire boxes of boosters just to search for those few cards. If they wish to open entire boxes for the fun of it, or maybe the chance to expand their collection with nothing specific in mind other than "Let's see what I get!", then they are on the right track. Who knows, they may find enough value beyond the cards they decide they want to keep from their finds, and still sell the rest to buy the cards they actually need. But playing booster box lottery just to find a specific card can leave anyone jaded and feeling remorse over their purchase. So as you say, Buy the singles you need. Buy boxes if you just want to enjoy the experience and expand your collection. It is no different than evaluating a trip to a casino, in that, you should never expect to walk out of a casino with as much money than you walked in with, much less walking out with winnings! Be logical, spend wisely, and have fin! It is a game after all. Thank you again! Carry on Professor. (That third box though... DANG!)

Hello Professor! I follow you here since the last year and I just saw your TYSO interview. I can't invite you over dinner because I live on the other side of the world but if you ever come to Italy I'll treat you to all the pasta and pizza (or anything else) you'll eat!

I am glad you were able to get as many boxes from this one.

The value in this set is so good that theoretically, when the Prof got a $500+ box, one could keep buying boxes with the profits and go on an endless loop of getting cards and boxes for free

i haven't seen this many marsh flats before in my life, and i live in the netherlands

The music never gets old, a total embodiment of how I feel whenever I crack packs.

Maaan, this is such an impressive set! Lots of value to be pulled, a lot of amazing new cards for multiple formats, and even actually decent reprints of the fetchlands! I’ll admit, I will happily buy every card I want from this set, cause they’re all so good!

Box #4 was absolutely crazy, just wow

I'll never get tired of the Buy Singles mantra. Good advice is always worth repeating.

*Glances at runtime* By the Gods of Theros; So much value!

Professor, just spreading some love here and saying you are the best and your videos are so fun to watch! Keep up with the good work!

Awesome wrap up Prof. Starting to slowly watch your content again because of wrap ups like that!

As far as I pre-purchased my set booster box from my LGS, I loved pulling it with my brother because we wanted SO MANY different cards. We had a blast and pulled very well, I got a foil extended Coffers, we had five fetches(two tarns, no Flats), none of that is even the rest of the awesome rares and mythics, and the prerelease we participated in I had a HUGE blast playing Asmora/Cookbook/2 step through, with a white recursion package along with my discard stuff, and my brother pulled a foil Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth. Do what you enjoy as a consumer and a player. We bought a couple singles, we traded some, and we bought one box and played one sealed. It's your game(except secret lair...)!

Got my own box, haven't bought a second but after getting cards that got me to about $400, i think it wouldn't hurt! If you guys buy any, i wish you luck!

Glad you were able to create this video ten days ago, and not yesterday, when the box would have melted into a puddle as you bring it home from your Seattle LGS.

Professor single handedly does a mass box opening.

Professor, keeping the cards you open from packs you bought with your own money?! You naughty, naughty boy!

I pulled the OBF version of Svyelun in my set box. It is a glorious foil!

That feeling he gets when he pulls the retro frame merfolk... #thegiddyisreal

I always buy singles, I rarely if ever buy packs, glad to hear that it actually helps the game stores more to do so. I'm not sure how anyone can think that's the only thing the professor says on this channel, there's a lot of helpful information about cards and magic in general here.

I love watching these professor! Keep um coming! Personally I play limited a bunch keep what I want and trade in what I don’t to my LGS. Opening sealed product w/out playing with the contents is sacrilege to me. :p

It’s amazing how tempting these boxes are!

Happy to see you take cards for yourself and your deck Professor!

I’d love to reiterate the statement at the end, they make a much better margin from singles and it’s a lot easier to move the sealed product of sets like this so if you really just want to buy something and can’t decide which of the two please do consider the singles you need and help your store keep things going :)

I was there when the Diamond Lion stopped being nice.

The booster box game is my favorite! Idc how long they are I watch!

Wish we saw your face when those retro cards showed up.

Your booster box openings are always very exciting !! And the Scatches !! So I'm a big fan and hope you please keep going !! Thanks for the great contributions, help, tips, fun, honesty and openness. Greetings from Vienna

The slowly dropping price of Esper Sentinel gives me hope...

Recently started watching these booster box game videos and i absolutely love them. I just wish you would do voice over commentary as you do them about your thoughts for the set or how your week has been. I love your voice and you are one of my favorite creators. Keep up the great work prof. We love you

Jesus he has more luck in one display than me in 3 ... Gamble is real. Buy Singles

You hit the nail on the head with the idea of karma for how I think about it I just hadn’t put it words. Thanks prof.

These boxes really paid for themselves. Is this a record for the number of boxes you cleared, Professor? Also, what do you do with the profits beyond what you need for the next box? Does that go towards yet another box?

Keep chasing those merfolk prof! They've been my tribe since 95.

AN HOUR LONG. Never thought it'd happen

Great video. I assumed you kept all the cards you desired. I thought it was funny that you felt the need to put a caveat in your video explaining your intentions. My favorite MTG channel has more integrity than most people I see everyday. Keep up the great work.

Long time fan prof, loved you on the take your shoes off podcast!

I love the booster box game videos, it scratches my itch to buy and crack packs when a new set comes out. These videos have probably saved me thousands of dollars over the years. Thanks prof!

I genuinely hope Wizards keeps reprinting the fetches so I can have more chances at them, be it just buying singles or gambling, when money doesn’t isn’t as tight as it is now. Also, thank you for gambling for me because this is an itch I cannot afford to scratch at the moment.

Prof, I've always wondered what you did with the excess from each box that you win on. So glad to see that you are paying it forward with that crazy box. Keep making this community a better place!

I hope they keep making the retro frames.

Hey, I know this vid has been out for a while so in all likelihood no one will see this. I just wanted to say how much i appreciate this guy and what he does for the mtg community. Encouraging supporting mom and pop stores over amazon is great. Keep up the good work Prof!

I'm going to guess more than one, it's a positive value product.

5 1/2 boxes to open up that card he really wanted. Thanks for being an example prof!

New challenge: The Signed Card Game Can I make enough money off of Prof's signed card level on Patreon to buy another month of it? (Disclaimer: I'll buy from myself any retro Merfolk Gods I pull)

A super good way to demostrate the singles-buy thing is at the end of each Booster box game video a resume with total amount of each important card that a person would like to crack in a pack. In this video a saw just 2 monkeys in 7 boxes!! That would be pretty cool.

Luckily I got this set to get back into mtg, the set is packed full of good trades

I love cracking packs in my old age coming back to this game after a long hiatus, but your right professor. Singles would be the better bang for my buck. Also, the shop I have been playing commander at does survive with online selling. The majority of the business is selling singles online, and the store front is bonus. Great video.

Oh boy I'm finally early to a hour plus booster box game! This is going to be epic :)

As an LGS Owner, we LOVE selling singles for 2 reasons. A. they are good revenue and B. it means we get to open more packs which we LOVE!

“oH bUy SiNgLes.” Bruh yea, if you spend 275$ and get that last box that’s such a feel bad moment. Where instead prof. could have spent about 240$ getting two play sets of the Merfolk cards in foil retro frame and still had enough money for a misty.

Watching this video in 2022 and these boxes are still nutty to open. Ive been buying set boosters as I can afford them pushing $250-75/box at this point. Love that Marsh Flats Hat Trick in box 1!

Great Warmbo shirt! I always love when I see a comment from you under Some More News videos. Makes me feel in good company with my tastes!

You missed Tireless Provisioner, selling for >$2

Thank you for being a source of positivity, Prof! I always enjoy watching your videos. :)

How do you “value” the cards you sell in the videos. Best sites I’ve seen for selling take a ~13% cut. Are you showing the value after seller/transaction fees or do you just take a slight loss on all these boxes and consider it close enough b/c you can sell bulk to make up some difference + get some cards you like?

To those that don’t know. Most people who know what they are doing sell cards for about 85% value through Facebook groups and discord groups. That’s including shipping. Selling on eBay or TCG is a horrible plan. The fees they take out (include taxes in your overall sale) come about to about 13-15% plus shipping expenses on singles is usually expected by the seller. On a $45 fetch you might see $35 after everything is said and done. With references through a group and money sent through friends and family because you have reputation you’ll get $40-41 on a $45 card.

The Prof: Buy Singles!! Also the Prof: *opens banger after banger in the booster box game*

I saw the length of the video so I would know there would be another box, but it still was really cool seeing it come down to the wire in the last couple packs causing that feeling of "Oh my god, is he gonna make it?!?!"

Love watching this game. The pack counter is a great add.

Since I'm new to MTG, buying a box makes some sense to me. I watch your booster box game videos to see if the value of a box is worth the chance of getting the most diverse and best cards from each set. Thank you for your videos that have helped me to get into this fun game!
