Is Mystery Booster 2 Worth the Wait?

Last weekend I was in Vegas for the Magic Con and managed to snag a festival in a box. Let's crack open some Mystery Boosters 2's and see if they are worth it!

These playtest cards would be a nice theme for a CommanderClash episode

The "stamp" on Rain of Daggers is actually just Melissa Benson's signature. :)

Foil is not guaranteed. I bought 3 boxes. 1 had 2 foils, 1 had 1 foil, and the last one had 0.

But what cards would be better than colossal dreadmaw? 33:40

I have been putting playtest and alchemy cards in my commander cube, its been fun seeing my friends who aren't deep into magic open one lol.

21:59 that turtle card is all your value right there!

Me: clicks this video to see the playtest cards
Seth: doesn't even leave a good shot of them to pause on

[thomaschoma]

The artist that did the Ponder is actually an awesome poster artist (Jay Ryan), you should def check him out.

Crim would probably like that white bordered Worst Fears for his Zevlor deck!

[noahboone]

There were some decent commons/uncommons too honestly

[michaeldegrave]

So many cards that I didn’t know were so cheap until watching this video. Ensnaring Bridge, Wasteland, Teferi, Uro, Oath of Druids, Leyline of the Void, and Dack have fallen so much. My MTG boomer mind was blown.

My only foil was the guy who makes lightning bolts in your deck. I think my box was slightly better since I got anime doubling season, kci, and a few other goodies

Would love to see the goldfish crew draft this set

[bobbobberson]

omg you pulled an indicate. i'm looking for one of those. that's awesome

[evangrip]

21:45 Seth, you're laughing? That turtle is eating someone's arm off and you're LAUGHING??? 😂

[RadarTheHedghog]

I got 2 foils in my box. Foil Lightning Greaves (At the time was $50) and Foil Doomsday (At the time was $180). I opened mine right around October 14th or 15th.

[reachingvalhalla]

I pulled the foil Urza! Rest of the box was pretty decent, too! Lotus Petal, Klauth etc

[colyrne]

Foil cards are one per box *typically*. I know for a fact that you can get more than one, because at the Convention I saw someone opening their festival in a box, and they got a foil City of Brass and foil Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor.

I'm thinking that any of the cards that only show up in foil (like Urza and Gix) don't count towards the foil in the box.

For your white border commander deck you need to acquire or proxy white border revised dual lands!

I will never not be amused by how Seth pronounces things.
