Just the fact you can get a majority of the staples for Ghave and a few other really good competitive commanders. The fact that it's pure value for roughly $175 after tax makes it worthwhile.

Honestly, if WotC took their philosophy on edh and Dominaria going forward, they could regain a lot of the momentum they lost within the last year and a half

WARNING : as seen at 6:26, the tokens ARE NOT in the corresponding decks ! I think this is quite important and I am quite surprised it was not mentioned in the video.

The time machine surcharge you pay helps keep the morlocks away.

Professor you are a great person and content creator, awesome video. A remote hug from Brazil 👊🏾 ✨

I already bought it before this video but thank you for doing this professor.
Now a video with upgrading all of the decks with current cards would be fantastical

[fehlbrandschwele]

Bought it just for Devour and Daretti. Getting a second Atraxa certainly doesn't hurt especially with the new gorgeous frame, and the second Kalemne deck makes for a great gift. All in all I feel it's well worth the price especially if you get a nice deal well under MSRP!

I've realized that all I need to do is buy the Commander set every year. It's by far WOTC's most valuable pre-con product. Spending approx $150 once a year is enough for me to enjoy the game.

Loved the first anthology. And loving this one! Bought it for $175 only to see the price go to about $155 after release, and I'm not even mad about that. So much value in here and a ton of awesome cards in this set.

As a player who wasn’t in the format when these precons came out I love this anthology and I’ll take about wade into battle because urzas Incubator is high price lol. And I was never gonna pay 200plus for breed lethality but my favorite deck in this box is the daretti scrap secant deck. I love the synergy

[jwych]

I’m going to buy it for Built from Scratch and Devour for Power.

I Already own Breed Lethality so I will sell it and I’m going to strip Wade into Battle for Parts

*Is it worth it?*
In short: yes.
In long: non't

[datboi]

On your point about only wanting certain decks: many ppl can split the cost and take certain decks they want, as I did.

A friend of mine picked this up and we sleeved up and played the decks straight from the box. It was a ton of fun playing all the decks and we've rotated through them several times. I know he's planning on slowly upgrading them. I personally have all four of the decks already but if I had the funds I would definitely have picked this up! A great product.

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

[staterazor]

It was great to meet you at star city con. You are a class act sir.

[robertburns]

I'm just a amazed how this video respond to all my doubts, it covers everything about the product and what each different person might want of it.
Great channel Proffesor

As an LGS owner, I am still working at 11 P.M. at night doing MTG related things. From consults about EDH decks to just stocking old binders (or my specifically designed in house EDH binders, 1 per color) my day can run long. I watch videos like this because I want to be able to give honest answers to my players about what products are the best for their budget.
I say all of that to give context to this: I literally cannot thank you enough for your ending on these videos. I was a player long before I was an LGS owner, and in the past year I have gained a wealth of knowledge about how hard it is to keep the MTG community healthy and whole (something, something, 5 standard bannings, something). That little bit at the end of your video means warms my heart at the end of a long day, so thank you very much for that.

[zackgrantzinger]

I don't use Youtube often, but I frequently find myself using your videos to help inform my MTG purchases. Thanks a ton.

[Unforgiven]

I didn't even know a new Anthology was on the way when my LGS posted a photo of this coming in stock. Went and got one right away and sleeved them all up in Eclipse.
Have some friends just getting into Magic and this is the perfect product!

[SamusX]

Very much enjoyed the video. Thanks for the review :)

[landrynewport]

Bought this a few months ago as my introduction to Magic for me and my girlfriend, the day they came out The value of the cards were unreal.

I didn't know Wormcoil Engine was that much! And it's become my favorite card too!

Thanks for the info Prof! Sorry I'm late to the Magic club. Love your videos!
