Masters 25 is the latest Masters set, coinciding with Magic’s 25th Anniversary, it seeks to contain cards from across Magic’s 25 year history, including cards from every set, with an emphasis on nostalgia as well as the usual Masters aims of providing needed reprints, all while maintaining an enjoyable draft environment. But like all Masters sets, it still carries with it the higher than usual MSRP of 9.99, and with a higher price come higher customer expectations. Masters 25 boasts big, but does the end product swing in for a critical hit, or fizzle out when opened? Let’s take a look. Masters sets have always been designed with two primary goals: a great draft experience, and providing needed reprints for formats like Modern, and to a lesser extend Legacy and Commander. These goals however have often been competing with one another, with the requirements of a balanced draft environment often being the reason that unneeded reprints have made up the bulk of the cards in these sets. With Masters 25, the added goal of a nostalgia set puts even more strain on this product, and this review with examine each of these elements to see how well they have been accomplished.

Thanks Professor :) Would you be so kind as to integrate a "booster ticker" for your upcoming "Booster Box Game" which counts the amount of Boosters left in the box? That would be very nice :)

The only thing the Tree of Redemption is doing is giving something WotC could hang themselves on. 'C' is too generous Prof, but this video get's a solid A+ from me!

I think this set is actually an F. If it can’t deliver on any of the goals a masters set has then if fails entirely. I wish there was a way for the community at large to boycott something like this without harming the LGS in our communities.

I agree with your assessment entirely, but I'm probably going to buy a box anyway and hope opening it is fun enough to make up for the likely negative EV. There's very little I *need* out of the set, so my experience isn't everyone else's, and I can completely understand anyone else not buying boxes for that reason. Great review!

interesting note: I lost a bet and had to buy two boosters... value of the whole booster (incl all foils, rares, uc and c) = 1,5€; paid 19.50€ (23,97 $ ... normal price in Europe)... So yeah.. that explains everything

Hey professor was wondering if you might be able to do a video on Mana ramp and the best cards for it on a budget
