Magic: the Gathering Live Sell – Risk of Opening Packs for Good Card Hits

It has always been a temptation in having to open Magic: the Gathering booster packs on live sell. That is because there are certain sets that have these lottery cards that are highly priced in value on the trading card market. The best examples are those Expedition lands found in Battle for Zendikar and Oath of the Gatewatch booster packs in which some of us were lucky to pull some back in the day.

In the recent MTG set Stryxhaven, School of Mages, there is the Japanese version of their Mystical Archive sub-set in which the frame and art are inspired to that by ancient Japanese artwork and form. Much more on why this version is higher than that of the English one. In one of the recent live sales on Facebook done by the Hivemind group, they have the promo of four Japanese Stryxhaven set booster packs for 1000 pesos only. I and my friend Floyd got tempted by this and to have several packs opened because of this and our goal was to open a Japanese Mystical Archive Demonic Tutor. You can check its current price value as why it was our main goal in opening the set booster packs.

The package arrived days later, and I did an unboxing video on how we fared with the live sell pack openings embedded below.
