Nice pulls. Garruk is a nice addition to ones collection. Its been a while since i commented on one of your vids so i thought i would drop you a line and give my 2 cents :)
Also, just watched your premium pack openings, good work as always. Your quality of filming is superb, most peoples videos you can barely make out the color of the cards, i can read the text of the cards with yours lol. Hope too see more vids, and good luck in the future openings.
@jack688 Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I was very pleased about the Garruk. I have been working on trying to get the text really clear, so it is really good to know that it is working out.
@Strikker36 I like building stuff around Red/Green, although I am in the process of building a Modern Legal Black/White deck 'templated' from a 5th Edition deck I saw in an old MTG Deckbuilding book.
@toxicmusic79 oh right its just i live in the uk and i was just going to start playing/ collecting magic cards and i was wondering where to get them from because here in birmingham there quite difficult to find :(
@MrFoxaaay If you vist the main Wizards MTG site they have a link which lets you search for main stockists by putting in your location. The page for the Store and Events locator is at: locator.wizards.com.
@MrFoxaaay I'm a couple of weeks old to MTG and may know some things which will help.
Walk-in places are going to cost more than online stores most of the time as you are paying a premium for the staff working there and the shop being open, but on the other hand you aren't paying the delivery costs and you get the item immediately. I'd only recommend physical shops if they are easy/cheap to get to and you don't mind paying extra to have it ready immediately. [Continued in second comment]
@MrFoxaaay The cheapest single Booster Packs i've found online for Standard-legal Sets are £2.49 with most going between that and £2.90 (note how the Booster Pack in the video is £3.59). Some places do bulk lots which shave an extra Pound or two off the total. You can also find brand-new Packs on eBay which sometimes go for the same or lower price and are definitely worth looking out for. Aside from Booster Packs, there are several other products out there. [Continued in third comment]
@MrFoxaaay Everything online is subject to delivery cost and waiting for the item to arrive but some places offer it for free/at a low cost and if you plan to buy a few items then you will find you are still saving money in comparison to walking in a store. One place i know of in the US ships to the UK and if you buy in bulk you can save a lot: What would cost £130+ in the UK cost me £100 from the US and that included shipping.
If you want me to send you some links, let me know. Hope i helped!
@kuaieq Nice to visit relatives, but looking forward to getting back to my home Nova Scotia tomorrow. Plus, so many quality comic shops in the Dartmouth/Halifax area.
It was nice of you to make a video even though you are visiting in another country. Thank you very much for making this video and congrats on your Mythic Rare.
Are you brittish, but live in Canada?
