Tolarian Winds: Are These 7 Card Magic The Gathering Booster Packs Another Aftermath?

What the hell is Foundations? How is WotC starting spoilers for like 5 sets at once? How can we ever care about a new set when there's more spoilers every day for a newly announced set every other week?

I'll quote the great Mr. Krabs: "Money"

A friend of mine has just recently started to play magic and, not wanting to curb his enthusiasm, I'm talking with him a lot about all the new cards and spoilers. One month into Magic, he was positively excited for everything, spent hours analysing new cards and sets and decks. Two months in, he was starting to feel some fatigue, especially because we both work a lot and don't have time to watch all livestreams and stuff. Now it's been three months since his first game and he is just nauseated by the endless spoiler season, he just can't keep up. I patted him on the back and brought out my trusted pauper decks, whose last update was a couple of years ago. Had a lot of fun playing Magic without thinking about Magic

People are going to forget all these sets due to how short they live. Won't be like the good old days of zendikar and innistrad

I remember when we used to complain about Magic being too expensive...That was when they released 4 sets a year and maybe a core set. Oh, nostalgia goggles.

I feel like they've been experimenting with a number of things that are less about, "What does the customer want?" and more about, "What can we get away with?"

Man, I wish we can be given some time to savor a set before a new one is released. 😥

As always, thank you for a honest review on our most beloved game. Keep up the good work 😊

The Ubisoft Universes Beyond set being a price gouge is very on brand though.

I really get the feeling that the Assassin's Creed set is one that didn't go as planned and both parties kind of want to move on from. The communication strategy about it from both companies felt like the contractually obligated minimum. It's gonna flop, and both companies know it.

Great video thanks prof.

Been playing for 3 months... I've been through like 4 sets already.. MKM, thunder junction,MH3 and now assassin's creed 😵😵 I've been in this game 3 months and already feel too overwhelmed to keep buying new releases

What’s crazy is that people are going to buy regardless.

Tyso sent me lol but I already know of you been watching you for 4 years now now I’m going back to tyso podcast to see if yall are opening that revised box

Thank you Professor for speaking up

Ah, I remembered MH3…. Such fond nostalgic memories. Do you remember where you were when MH3 launched?

As the sun sets on a product 30 days old....gah

Seems like you can roughly divide the size of the set by 10, and that's their target booster size. Increasing the booster size relative to the set size increases the chance a player will get the card they want, and reduces the chance of reroll.

I appreciated the detail in mentioning the cost of publishing sets using other IPs, since there are absolutely financial considerations of publishing (card form or otherwise) another company's intellectual property. I also appreciated you mentioning what LOTR sets are selling for NOW, vs, say, at launch, or other "older" examples. Not only is it more 1:1 in terms of inflation, but clearly shows the difference between just wanting stuff to be cheaper "cuz" and WOTC's business decisions in a more objective light. While I don't see there being anything wrong with a business putting out products to test the waters (since, of course, people can choose to simply not buy them, thus making it a financial flop) these kinds of videos are great for ensuring people who want to do their due diligence understand what kinds of MTG purchases are going to get them the most bang for that buck. I'm looking forward to buying singles and letting someone else get this medium set's bulk out into the secondary market for me cuz nahhhh I'm good on this haha. Normally I get one box and go from there, but not for this one.
