The Card Wizard cracks Magic 2010 M10 Box #5 Nice box!

[wavybuttsack]

what makes certain cards "tournament worthy"?

[recardwizard]

@wavybuttsack - Excellent question. Generally, if a card shows up in a top-level deck, it is worthy. However, especially when sets are new, it is sometimes hard to tell if a card will be as powerful as it looks at first glance. Many times you will hear people say that a card is "a potential tournament card" or "a sleeper bomb" or something along those lines. Sometimes those cards turn out to be junk, other times they are as good as expected (Jace TMS), and sometimes junk turns out good.

[wavybuttsack]

@recardwizard okay, that definitely makes sense. thanks for the reply.

oh, and by the way: this technique you've created is absolutely incredible. do you have plans for posting a new video soon?

[armityle27]

No Nocturnus? :(

[recardwizard]

@armityle27 - Yeah, I know. This was filmed when the set was brand new, and nobody cared about Vampire Nocturnus yet. As well as my system works, if I had a chance to go back and do boxes over again, in some cases I would be chasing very different goal rares. :) That's the way it is in the card market, though!

[armityle27]

@recardwizard lol fair enough

if i could i would probably set out for those nocturnus too

in need for my vampire deck

[recardwizard]

@chinderliter - Oh, agreed. And certainly not enough of a life that I'd post YouTube comments on stuff that meant nothing to me.

[DoctorJamesWilson]

Commonality should be a word.

[recardwizard]

@09flameboy - Actual magic spells. :)

[MaxeEvidences]

is this going to work with future realeases, like worldwake?

if not, why?

[recardwizard]

@MaxeEvidences - As I cannot divine future events with my mortal mind, I cannot answer yea or nay. If you have any skills along these lines, I'd appreciate knowing the outcome of tonight's Super Bowl before I place my wager. :)

[MaxeEvidences]

What i was talking about, as a concrete future customer of your book, is:

if i buy your book, your mapping method will be teached inside so I can map sets/releases myself if you don't ?

[recardwizard]

@MaxeEvidences - Yes, I am happy to say: Absolutely positively YES. The book teaches the entire method for mapping so that you can apply it to future sets. Worldwake is likely to be Type B and may not map, but Rise of Eldrazi and M11 are both 249-card sets that may map properly. We won't know until they are released.

[Elidragonguy]

Can you do this with fatpacks...? :o

[recardwizard]

@Elidragonguy - Nope. Only sealed booster boxes.

[thefallenangel1]

Do you think they changed the map print run? If I buy a box now would it be the same collation?

[recardwizard]

@thefallenangel1 Yes and no. The subsequent print runs of M10 came from multiple printing plants. Some of them collate Type A2 just like the map says, while others collate Type B that doesn't map 1:1. Unfortunately, Type B is a greater probability of any box you buy. If you want to roll the dice, you might get lucky, but you're better off right now just buying singles.

[recardwizard]

@lacrosseboy105 It will NOT work with Worldwake, in all likelihood. And nope, I am not rich. I am a writer. Writers never get rich. :)

[lotusmonkey2]

Can someone answer this question for me please. lets say you have a couple of drudge skeletons out on the field would the regenerate effect still work if you sacrificed it to regenerate Skeletal Kathari which you need to pay one Black and sacrifice a creature to regenerate skeletal Katharo, also for the effects liek devour and stuff.

Thanks

[nkshade]

@lotusmonkey2 you cannot regenerate a sacrificed creature.

[retrovirus61]

nice knife, i have a similar kershaw, but mine is bigger

[HaloNeardz]

u said u where going to give all the other boosters away?? , could i have them ? :P

im a new player and needs cards for a deck

[DanielHoward777]

ross, is that a foil jace beleren? how big was your smile when you saw that

[recardwizard]

That was a very smiley foil Jace.

[ExImperialDragon]

So, how accurate are the maps for the prior sets, like Ravnica? Does Wizards randomly change things up?

Just wondering about getting any of the prior digital modules...

[recardwizard]

Before you buy ANY of them, download the free INDEX. It will tell you which sets have been mapped out, which book or module has the map, and which sets are not mapped out.

[Ballinlolz]

do you have to pay for this?

[mattPrince0darkness]

I got a holo Boagardan Hellkite

[ertai222]

this just blows my mind, damn. imagine if i could bust out these skills at my card store. people would think i'm a god, lol

[ertai222]

damn dude how did you even come up with this formula in the first place. boxes are so random and yet you find the order to the chaos

[Coffee4am]

Thats very very true, Even Ponder's art suits Time warp alot more...

[recardwizard]

Well, I'm not a dealer anymore so I keep most of the cards for my collection. All the extra rare playsets from buying all those cases, I usually trade those off for high-end Vintage stuff. You can never have too many of the Power Nine! :)

[carthwolf]

Righteousness is actually pretty good in Limited play so it seems fine now at Uncommon.

[Slyboogy07]

cool bro, really convincing to buy your book. now this is 10 bucks though? if i buy the 20 dollar one i wont get this? or how does it work?

[recardwizard]

The update for M10 is $9.99. If you think you can go off the map alone and figure it out from there, you're certainly welcome to do that. The book, which came out last December, includes maps for the sets at the time (Shards, 10th, etc) and actually teaches how the whole system works.
