Is It Worth It To Buy Commander Legends? MTG Product Review

There's always more to learn! Check out...

I misspoke at the end of the video (honestly, again, MTG product contents have become so convoluted and shifting that even I am frequently making minor errors like this, so imagine the average customer): It's two (2) NON-foil expeditions in the topper with a CHANCE at additional expeditions IN foil IN the Collector box, meaning you could potentially walk away with multiple full art and even foil fetchlands.

Wizards of the Coast need to bring back MSRP on Magic: The Gathering products so their customer know they are getting a product for a fair price. Not doing so damages both brand and identity, as well as customer enjoyment and overall reception of the product. If you WANT to knowingly pay more for a product, fine, knock yourself out, but I am beyond frustrated with how many people are UNKNOWINGLY paying FAR too much for Magic products due to a lack of MSRP. "Oh, Commander Legends is $150 per box? Ok?" No, it is not okay. Don't pay above $125, and quite frankly, there's more available for less.

The first LGS I went to attempted to charge me $160 BEFORE tax, and with a Baron Sengir instead of Mana Confluence!!! Literally told them I'd just take my money to a store that charges less and did just that! Got my box with the proper promo for $130 AND more in-store credit than the first store would have given me. This is what happens when you treat your customers unfairly! Professor is right, don't let scummy store owners price gouge you!

[JesseJames]

Prof: don't be a sucker

Also prof: owns a Homelands Booster box

Does anybody remember when they said that JUMPSTART was print to demand and later they sold out and nobody is talking about it? WELL I REMEMBER!

Me: *sees Lotus price listed at $69.96* “I wonder if he’ll go for the easy joke?”
Prof: “No matter how you look at that price, it’s far from nice.”
Me: *cackling* “The absolute madman!”

This product offers an amazing draft experience. I wouldn't recommande just to crack packs, but it's great to be able to draft the commander format!

This is my go to MtG channel for product reviews because unlike other YouTubers, the professor never bullshits about the price, value and the blunders of both WotC and some LGS when it comes to handling Magic products. Whether it’s the perpetual lie of the reserve list, the obvious mark ups due to lack of MSRP, or the rip offs that are collector and premium packs, the professor always tells it straight and provides good advice for any would be buyers to avoid bad merchants and bad products.

Thank you professor for always being a diligent and honest reviewer looking out for the players first before any business interests. If only more people were like you, and were interested in, you know, playing this game and helping others play and have fun with the game, instead of trying to rip off suckers in the second hand market or pushing BS products because “value” or whatever. I can only imagine how much better the game would be if we had more professors and less wanna be Wall Street traders

[leviangel]

You could imagine this as a brawl draft reasonably

I got a jeweled lotus from one of the three pack boosters at walmart, I’m really new to the hobby, and I had no idea it was worth that much until I saw the video and my heart literally skipped a beat

[thrillhouse]

Get your Staff of Domination and Rings of Brighthearth singles! Price has been crushed!

[danielyorke]

This is one of the few rare times I must disagree with you, I found drafting with four people to be an extremely zesty and rewarding enterprise. I also find the monarch cards in particular to be a barrel of fun in my commander decks and games. Hullbreacher and opposition agent are absolute bombs, too.

[marcelundsoweiter]

I'm always suprised how much cheaper the card prices are in Europe.

[dmdda]

Thanks for the information. I'm finding quickly in returning to magic, for collecting, buying singles is the most cost effective.

[Kaffirmative]

I'm a new subscriber but the professor is already one of my favorite magic channels. I could honestly listen to this man talk about anything for 20 minutes at a time and never be bored

[josephs.]

I don’t need to turn on notifications. I have a sixth sense for when Prof uploads. It’s a gift and a curse.

[mikekrevenchuk]

I was able to play this in both draft and sealed, and personally, found the game play to be fun and varied. The game seemed to only get jammed up when multiple players (2+) were playing the token, elf or pirate archetypes.

[frosty]

After drafting the set on mtgo I do have to say it’s been shockingly fun. The games have been about an hour to 1:20 and there have been a lot of really cool interactions. Personal favorite play was a pirates deck that used coercive recruiter to take my Araumi, then used her to encore more pirates from the graveyard, stealing even more stuff from everyone and getting in for a huge swing.

[jeffreyjohnson]

While I agree with almost everything here, I can't abide the take that this draft format is "not commander enough". That's unfair to the concept. An Eldraine draft does not contain games of standard. A Horizons draft does not contain games of modern. An expectation for this draft format to conform so closely to constructed commander feels unreasonable to me.

[sesamestreettv]

Hmmmm can’t say I agree with thoughts shared in this video but always love hearing where you stand Prof! This set is so so so much fun!
