From Middle Earth, all the small black boxes and the loose boosters are from the first set: The Wizards. It's generally the most useful set when constructing decks. The set is based on the five wizards trying to defeat sauron.

The brown box is the first expansion: the Dragons. This set adds dragons and their treasure to the game.

The white box is a later set: the White Hand. It introduces a new playable faction of fallen wizards that have given up on defeating sauron.

I'm still learning the game, so I don't know a lot about the rules yet. The game is super complex!

But I know that most of you probably don't care about dead CCGs! So let's start with magic!

We will probably open some magic for awhile, then jump around to open some other stuff. Also have some star trek cage boosters, maybe we will grab a few of them too!

I'm super excited to open this, box though! I've never bought a full box of a foreign set before

I just think the language looks cool. Dunno if I really have a good reason, just like the flavor. And their forests are called Alec. That makes me chuckle.

Watching with interest.

>>47358367

Starters were $8-15 each, bought in different lots. The Wizards set is kind of pricey. I finally found a booster box of it online and had to pay $120 for it! That one made me cringe a bit. But alas, I wanted it.

The Dragons box was $43 shipped. The White Hand booster was $45 shipped. Both of those are the cheapest sets for the game based on current prices.

OP, it is not Alec - you read this as "Las" like in polish. In russian alphabet c = s. For example - their plant token is "rastenje" because you spell P as R, C as S, H as N and reverse N as I

Quick question OP
How much did a Russian Booster Box cost? I assume it's much more than the usual one due to foreign language and such, but still.

File: IMAG4030.jpg (3MB, 2688x1520px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 2688x1520px

Endbringer.

Big triangles over this dude's head, so you know he's one bad motherfucker.

>>47359837

Yes, they carry a premium. Russian seems to run $100-125 for in print sets. Older stuff tends to move up quickly. Khans is stupid, it's like $200 a box right now. Dragons also seems to carry a premium at closer to $150. Origins is also usually more than the Zendikar set.

I paid $100 on ebay for this box, which I consider a pretty good bargain. Although this was one day after I bought a box for $110 shipped from the Ukrane. Which I also considered a bargain at the time. So as you can see, I didn't have any choice but to buy two.

>>47360072
Shit nig. Maybe if you get lucky you could snag some older booster boxes.

>>47360072
>>47359837
It's weird though, you might be able to get more for cards in Russian or an asian language because it's a different alphabet.
Cards in an English alphabet, but another language, are almost always less.

I will try! Maybe put together a 101. But when I say this game is complex, it's almost make your head hurt complex when you start. Like Mage Knight hard!

That Saruman above is a playable main character. You can tell by the rune in the top left corner. That black hand with 12 in it is how many 'minions' he can control under him. 12 is a very high value from what I have seen!

From there you assemble your party and gear by traveling around Middle Earth. You start in a major town, run out as far as you dare to play some better location specific cards, then come back and heal at town. And play 'DM' in a sense by throwing obstacles and creatures at your opponent on their turn to try to kill them.

I have the map in the mail now!
