Hi Professor, thanks for this take on set boosters. I've been on the fence about them since they were announced. The emphasis on gambling with these is important and it really reinforces what you always say about buying singles. With Zendikar Rising, the calculus is thrown off some because of the box toppers and their expected value, but the price premium for 7-8 cards from "The List" per box just doesn't feel worth it.

Yes, yes I would like to win said box. Run run run to YouTube...

At 8:29 you write "The extra 1.30 is bringing with it a 17.5% chance at an extra R/M". Except it averages out to 27% (17.5+4.3+2*2.6, see 6:15) and doesn't even mention the additional foils and The List, making your box below average at 23.3%. That's a pretty significant error.
