My biggest concern is "Wallet Fatigue." Wizards is releasing a new product practically every month. Seems that we do not have much time to enjoy BloomBurrow because DuskMourn is just around the corner. Then, around 6 weeks later Foundations will be released. I did preorder the Pre-cons from my LGS. I have skipped buying sealed boxes from a lot of sets this year and bought singles. I am also concerned about the price point. I am sure there will be even more price increases for 2025. Thank you for the video.

Everyone needs to lower their expectations for this!

Worst case:
This is a gift bundle -3 Play +1 Collector booster >if<
1. The so called "Glow in the Dark"-Dice has only glowing numbers not glowing plastic.
2. The Lands are just the lands you get from collector packs anyways (I didn´t see anything about "exclusive" lands).
3. The 1 of 3 Promocards in the "nightmare booster" are worthless! It´s miles away from the 2out of 20 mythics (many very playable) in nerver seen before Oil treatment.

I preordered this Bundle for 62, 5€ (~70$) but I only payed 39, 99€ for a Ixalan Gift Bundle (~45$) (incl. Taxes) so its 56% more expensive (22, 5€) for + 1 collector booster but - 3 Play boosters compared to a normal Bundle. So if the Dice isn´t actually Glow in the Dark and the "Nightmare Booster" is a glorified foil land pack (Remember the Ixalan foil land pack hat a guaranteed foil Jurassic World card in it!!!) this will be just a overpriced Gift Bundle!

(Compleated Bundle was 60€ Preorder and 80€ on release here just for reference)

Best Case:

1. The Glow in the Dark dice is actually made from Glow in the Dark Plastic
2. The Lands are exclusive to the bundle and in a somewhat special treatment because nobody needs rainbowfoil lands.
3. at least one of the 3 possible Promocards is valuable and playable and at least a 10$ card (see "The one Ring")
4. The Nightmare Booster can contain a bundle exclusive super Secret Rare or Serialized card only obtainable in this Bundle.
5. The set rocks! - If this set is another Karlov Manor the value of the play and collector boosters will drop, so the Bundle will not be worth it.

The best thing is: This Product will be released a month after Prerelease, someone may open it on YT weeks before official release. So IF the Set or the Bundle turns out to be a stinker I still have time to cancel my order. A case of this Bundle has to compare itself to a Playbooster+ a Collector Booster display exaclty and then we need to see if the extras are worth the difference.

In Ixalan I saved 70€ buying 2 cases of gift Bundles compared to buying a Collector and 3 Set displays and had 6 additional Set booster. I missed out on 4 Boxtoppers but got 12 Foil Jurassic World cards. That was the best Price/Value I ever got from a MTG Product, so I might expect too much.

If the preorder Prices rise over 100$ for this and the Set is just medium value many will be disappointed. We didn´t see a neon-foil Cavern of Souls yet, so let´s see what the previews bring. I´m not very impressed by this set yet and it clashes so hard with Bloomburrow (a set that has brought in younger players and was Family friendly) it hurts me physically that this is our Christmas set this year! AlsoI think it´s bad business decision to have those 2 sets back to back. Commandfest Frankfurt had 1/4-1/3 Female attendees parents got their kids Bloomburrow as their first MtG sets, my wife bought collector boosters but Wizards doesn´t know what customers they want... you can´t be the Family Friendly and the super edgy gory creepy Card game at the same time ... if they have the balls to reprint "Razor Pendulum" and focus on the Boomer customer Base ok, but I wan´t to play magic with my wife and kid and this set will have to stay hidden from them... how sad we opened Ixalan Gift Bundles under the Christmastree last year with my brother and had such a great time, this year we will not be able to repeat this wholesome experience : (

I think this Set would have a great place in a supplemental slot, not in Standard. But thats personal taste.

I am 100% buying to enjoy the art. I would still be happy with mid cards.

[IXIFrostIXI]

i pre-ordered 5 on amazon. pre-ordered 5 collector boosters on ebay for 204 each. Im really vibing with this set man <333

[markgrochowicz]

It's all about the glow-in-the-dark Spindown life counter for me :)

[chrisbay]

The foil full art lands from Duskmourn are cool as shit. I don't think they should have given me a whole month to think about this purchase though. I am kinda on the fence now.

[payasito]

I like that you can get those different alt arts from the goosebumps artist and those old throw back monster comic posters. My local shop is only getting 15 so I went to Amazon and ordered mine there.

[MistahStompy]

Pretty sure the lands in the bundle are just the same full arts from the main set that we saw a month or so ago. So not much of a selling point imo.

That said im. So hyped for this set!
I locked in 2 Nightmare Bundles when they went up on Amazon ages ago. All the exclusive items sound awesome!
The horror themes always get me hyped! Im hoping im not getting my hopes up on the poster cards.

I think it could be a successful product but not meet expectations. From what I see in Canada I found some stores pre selling at 90 cdn which seems fair so I preordered some but most stores are jacked up to 130-150 cdn. So as long as my orders aren’t cancelled I’m going to be happy but at the jacked up price it might be a disappointment.

[wademiller]

I would buy this, I like horror stuff but have never liked newer designs for phyrexia so this is more up my alley. I noticed a lot of people didn't buy the oil slick bundle because they didn't want the phyrexia style. This will have more broad appeal

[Courtney-Jai]

I'm actually really excited for this set as I'm a huge horror fan

[freexp]

Returning player after 8 years, i want to support my LGS as much as possible especially because they are a "primer" store but when the bundle is $30 cheaper on amazon.... and every thing else is at least $5 cheaper. Now I'm willing to give them 5 extra dollars but that's it I'll take my chances with fake or damaged goods on amazon that i can return with out feeling bad.

[BlazeBerger]

This set might not be for me. But liking, subscribing and hitting that bell certainly is. 🤙

[cavemen]

Managed to swing getting like 10 for 60!

[mmiller]

Awesome video! They just keep getting better and better. Keep up the great work.

[TrentOrTreat]

I preordered it the moment I saw it. Looks great to me

[TheDisgaeafan]

That's a lot of rambling for someone to pretty much just say dont know". Hope your current viewers like your style of content, but I will not be returning.

[Rye]

Both the set and product look super cool. Also no you didnt make a meme youre trying too hard to kake an unfunny joke stick

[DirkVomEck]

I pre-ordered 7 of these for 62, 49 € each. Probably gonna open one and throw the rest on a shelf^^

[VCUS]

Not worth $80+ imo. I'll wait until Amazon dumps them below $50. The $120 MH3 gift bundles are currently going for $80.
