Hopefully A War I Can Win

 Today, I finally am going to open the packs I picked up in my 2022 Gift Bundle of The Brothers' War MTG box. I am not going to count the loose cards which came in the bundle because there was a bunch of land and a couple other cards, just going to count the 9 packs when considering how this box went. I am not opening the one collector booster, nor one of the set booster, though will value those when considering how this box was. Left will be opening the 7 set booster packs.

Why I spent the $60 or so dollars on this gift bundle was because the price of the collector booster at the time was about half that, and getting 8 set boosters for about $4 each when there are a number of artifact cards I don't want to spend $15 or more on each to get, I liked the chances of getting something solid to keep/collect. As it stands now, a couple years out, there are about 40 different cards between foil and non-foil artifacts I could get in these packs, which are at or over the $15 price, so really, just hitting any one of those and get a few other keepers would be a solid succuss.

Well, let's start with the first pack...


I am not sure if I should consider the art cards, but I guess if I keep them because they are from Artifact cards, I guess they should count, so boom - one right off the bat. ALso score with the token being a keeper. THe tokens have different backs as well, so this one was actually totally new for me as well.


I already had a Clay Revenant from the slew of singles I purchased, but still another keeper. As for the "hits" in the pack...

The Swiftfoot Boots card would cost me about $3.50 to buy now. The Transformers cards fall in 10% of backs, so this may be the only one I get, and it's okay - goes for about $5, btu not a card I am keeping. The other rare and foil black cards are $1-$2 cards, so nothing too significant, but when you consider the cost for the pack was about $4 - that's a pretty awesome little pack!
