Glad it wasn't a repack. Those were some nice pulls including that extended mythic (no need to spoil). So far I've had enough willpower to not support Wizazon EVER, though it's really hard sometimes with the deals they offer. There's the argument that "I don't have an LGS nearby" but with USPS flat rate priority mailers, any LGS can reach any household. I routinely support brick and mortar LGS in Oregon and Tennessee and their prices aren't that much more than Amazon. The argument that Amazon offers significant savings is largely fiction. Yes, you do have to spend a few minutes looking around on the internet vs. a simple Amazon search but it's more important to me to keep fellow players and collectors of the the game (who just happen to own a store) in business. I fear that any money that goes to Wizazon ultimately rewards negative behavior. I don't see how Wizards making record profits does anything to improve the state of the game. Feel free to correct me.

My LGS typically has a low supply of booster boxes so after launch I tend to get them from Amazon. I haven’t had this issue, but that’s the gamble. I’m sure that many of the repacks are exactly returned ones that a small number of individuals are doing. If you do return them, I’d specifically use the comments or even directly comment to support regarding the problem so they can remove them from inventory rather than just sending them out again.

As I wrote on Youtube already, don't beat yourself up an this! You seem to need to get to play some more games with 'I hate your deck' because you seemed like you had quite some fun there.

I'll have you know, since you're friends IRL, that my patronage came via PeasantKenobi's newest video. I'd been meaning to help support you for a while but finally got around to it. Not much, but it's for forever.

Well done Prof, glad you got some good pulls in the end

I've done it and so has everyone else. We all just don't wanna go through the hassle of returning products especially with the chance that they'll tell you no anyways. Keep your chin up Professor!

Excellent video prof. Don't be so hard on yourself, we all have moments of regret. At least you can look at the positive you've done. Thanks for doing what you do.

The fear of getting a repack is enough to stop me ever buying MTG from Amazon. Glad to have seen this video.
