Shiny! This is a special edition of the usual "Fat Pack" box. Let's take a look inside.
The packaging sleeve covers the main card box and a smaller box suitable for dice, tokens, etc.
Not pictured: the card with a security strip.
Inside the box are 10 booster packs, a new oversized spindown die, and some extra lands and promo cards along with the bonus for this box: one of the new "Collector Booster" packs with extra rares and uncommons.
A Fat Pack usually costs about the same as 10 individual packs, but includes a few extras and a handy storage container. Not a bad way to acquire packs in quantity. This gift set was about $5 cheaper than buying the loose packs and the collector booster, so the deal was slightly better than usual, although by no means the cheapest way to get cardboard crack.
I plan to open these boosters soon, but this short post will have to do for today. I completely skipped last week, so at least this is progress of a sort! What do you think of packs and drafting versus just buying singles?
For playing... they are great. The cards are superb in quality... but they are over printing them. I recently got into buying sealed product to horde for a few years but am cagey about it on some of these sets.
Yeah, I started opening packs, and pulled some pretty stellar cards that don't sell for much. On one hand, I like it as a player to see more good cards becoming affordable. As a collector and occasional trader, not so much.
Do you watch this dude at all, it's all financial and not player stuff. I will be keeping away from Strixhaven for the reasons he mentions.
He knows his crypto as well... its quite obvious.
I do not, but I might start. I don't tend to follow the financials though.
He's loud and outrageous but tells it all, and Wizards must hate him. You probably know by now, I no longer play but am still interested in the Financial side.
