Amazon better not mangle it. I'm sure there's an Ugin or Teferi in there.

I don't really play as much as I like. I bought it for ~$50 because I had a credit from something else. Since I'm not building anything atm I mainly bought it for the fun of cracking packs.

Cracking packs?

Jargon for opening packs. Depending on how you open them it can make a cracking sound. MtG has also been known as "cardboard crack" because of how addictive it is.

That's cool TC. Good luck. Heard you're going to have to open good foils of most of the best cards from the set to even get close to breaking even with the cost of a box. The set isn't bad and has a few great reprints and some nice new cards. I know the value of cards will appreciate and depreciate over time, with what is successful, etc.. Collector's Boosters are killing the value of opening regular Draft Booster packs though. Although, it also really doesn't help that Wizards temporarily suspended support for paper Magic events. I know the success of cards in Magic Arena will likely influence paper prices in the meantime though. I have a box of Jumpstart I got for $82 during a early presale being shipped out on Friday by the seller, so I should receive it on Monday. I just hope I get some duplicates of some big money rares and mythics so I can break even.

Yeah I'm mainly really just hoping for an ugin. I used to play modern Mono-U Tron so he'd be neat to have tucked away. I'll probably buy one if I dont pull it. Unless I get completely hosed I think I can get $50 worth of cards from it.

That's why I refuse to buy that garbage. If the land cycle in M21 was better like checklands or painpand's I'd be more inclined to risk $25 buckaroos on one. But the scrylands are ass.

lol While it definitely could have been better, it could have been much worse as well. If the temples hadn't been reprinted so many times already and if shocklands had already rotated out of Standard, they might have been worth a few bucks at least.

I agree. Shocklands still being playable in standard is part of what is greatly devaluing the Scrylands at the moment. Not to say they'll be worth nearly as much, but they will likely see more play once Shocklands rotate.

That coupled with paper support being suspended due to covid probably throws a wrench in things.

My box had a foil full art grim tutor as the main item of interest.

Others were a regular grim tutor, an azusa, 5 solemn simulacrums(one foil, all regular art though), three of the white planes walker (lame)... and thats about it.

It was fun.

Yeah that's a yikes if it was a collector's box.
I did get a baneslayer, showcase scooze, Basri, and Azusa as my notables. Best thing I can really do is hold onto them and hope they appreciate a little when 2021 goes out of print or someone finds a way to bust them...

I feel you bro. I opened like 45+ regular draft packs of Core 2021 between prerelease kits, prize packs, drafting, and bundles and I got no Ugin. Or no Azusa or Fabled Passage even. I mean I got a Teferi, 2 Grim Tutors, and some other mythics, but still. Wizard's really needs to fix their duplication when it comes to this set.

It was a regular box. Collectors boosters are way too pricey. I might grab one if I see it but not a box.
