2022 Team Canada Retail Blaster - The Bedard Sweepstakes!
Welcome back and thanks for joining us.
Today, we have for your viewing pleasure. Team Canada ....on a budget. The hobby version of this set is around $400 CAD right now...super pricey, so we were lucky enough to find a couple of these at our local Walmart. The set recently came out (in the past 2 weeks) And we are chasing none other than Connor Bedard. We are looking to add to the council of Bedards after one of it's members was sold.
The hype is real, and looking at prices on eBay, it's pretty crazy.
Spoiler...we got pretty lucky...We don't hit just 1!
Check it out! Let us know what you think.

Two Pack Tuesdays - Phyrexia: All Will Be One - A Pedestrian's View - Pack Gods Were On Our Side!
Hey Everybody Welcome Back to a Two pack Tuesday Release Week of Phyrexia, all will be one. Happy Valentines day, we have something additional. We will take a look at the Walmart collectors edition, in addition to our usual 2 set boosters + 2 collectors boosters. I mainly received the Walmart box as a gift, so I wanted to share it with you all.
This was honestly 1 of the better openings for the collector boosters. The set boosters not so much. We definitely hit what I was chasing.
Let us know what you think so far from your breaks. What are some interesting combos you've played in the past?

Two Pack Tuesday - Ep. 41 - 2023 Artifact Retail Blaster - Boldy Or Bust!
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 41 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
Happy Valentines day. I received this box of retail 2023 artifacts as a gift so decided to share the love with all of you.
I am usually not a fan of retail artifacts mainly that it's extremely difficult to actually hit anything. If you've open this product, we would love to hear your feedback.

Phyrexia: All Will Be One - Prerelease Opening - Obliterate Or Vindicate
Hey Everybody Welcome Back. A little late with this post. Pre-release week for Phrexia all will be one!
We're opening our box and I'm looking for the Obliterator. That was actually the card that got be back into the game way back when "New Phyrexia" came out. I actually had a few tempest wastelands which I had discovered to be worth quite a bit back then. I ultimately sold 4 of them to buy a playset of obliterator and a few other cards.
Overall I think we had a pretty good pre-release box. What would you play if you had this same pre-release kit?
Let us know what you think. If you participated in pre-release week, how did you do?

Marvel Snap: A Noob's View - Week 3 - The Progress
Hey Everybody, thanks for watching.
It's week #3. Where are we at?
I have tweaked some of the decks that we had, but also working on a few others.
I have saved up a few of my rewards, so it's a reveal of the collector cache, but also we'll do some evolves to see get up the ladder.
This week we will also go through 2 decks.
I am on a bit of a losing streak. I did get up to level 52, before tumbling.
So we'll go through Zabu with the addition of a new card.
And we'll go through a "lite" version of a destroy deck.
What would you do differently or what cards should I consider in these 2 decks.
Let me know what you think.

Marvel Snap: A Noob's View - Week 2 - Grind & Collect
Hey Everybody, thanks for watching.
It's week #2. Where are we at?
I've expanded the # of decks.
I do confess that I spent $13.99 for the Zabu only because someone had said it looks like a pretty fun card to play with....and you know what they were right.
While I did build a 4 CC deck, I do know that there are definitely some better 4 drops that what I have. So looking forward to it.
I now have 5 different decks to play with. I do rotate if I find that I am on a losing streak.
The new which we will go through:
Discard-Destroy
Ongoing
Move it
Zabu-madness
I am still working out some of the kinks and you do see that I make mistakes sometimes while playing. Afterall, we are all humans.
What's your favourite non-meta deck.
Is my strategy good?
What's a good ratio of 1, 2, 3...5,6 drop? (know it depends on the deck type)
Let me know what you think.

Marvel Snap: A Noob's View - Grind & Collect
Hey Everybody, thanks for watching. Today we are going to look at Marvel Snap a game that came out in October 2022.
I only started playing this game earlier this week. I am for the most parts a F2P, I did spend $3.99 on some credits. But now also $27.99 in order to walk through what happens when I upgrade stuff.
For the most parts grinding in this game at the beginning is pretty easy, however, once cards start costing 200+ credits and you get a tonne of upgrade options, it starts becoming a little tedious.
I am not quite sure if there's a strategy around that, but please feel free to advise me but also others.
It's not a bad game to play and the sites that come out does keep things a little interesting to try to balance out the meta.
The main problem with card type games like this (clash royale, Magic: the gathering) is that once someone finds a meta working Everyone jumps on board and the games get really boring. I for one really enjoy creating new combos and stuff so always thinking differently.
What's your favourite non-meta deck.
Is my strategy good?
What's a good ratio of 1, 2, 3...5,6 drop? (know it depends on the deck type)
Let me know what you think.

Dominaria Remastered Release Week - An Average Joe's Break - Collectors & Draft Booster Opening
Hello Everybody, Welcome Back! It is release week for Dominaria Remastered and we have 3 collectors and 2 draft boosters to open. I have been looking forward to this set mainly for nostalgia reasons. As someone that played Magic starting in revised, I am looking forward to actually having retro framed birds of paradise.
The pack openings during pre-release week appear to have a lot of amazing cards being pulled but if you're an average joe like myself, what's the chances of hitting something nice in just a few packs. We are about to find out.
Let me know what you think of the reprints.

Two Pack Tuesday - Ep. 37 - 2022 UD Series 2: Discuss Bedard & Chase Young Guns
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 37 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
We are breaking our last packs of Upper Deck Series 2. Chasing some Young Guns, but also recapping the stellar goal by Connor Bedard at the World Juniors. What an incredible talent. The question most of us have is whether we should sell his Canada cards now? ie, the ones in the video.

Two Pack Tuesday - Ep. 36 - UD Artifacts 2022 - Council of Connor Bedard(s) go Cole Mining!
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 36 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
I received a box of Artifacts retail 2022 from my dad for Christmas, and I have my council of Connor Bedards to help me with my break. The first Canada game was painful, hopefully they bounce back. I have seen 1 or 2 breaks of artifacts and usually they are brutal. I didn't hit a jersey or autographs but I've had a certain Montreal Canadian pop up on a few of my breaks. He doesn't fail to show up again.
Thanks to my dad for the box.

Silver Tempest Elite Trainer: Wanted Lugia, Got More Than Expected! Big Hit!
Welcome to our channel and happy holidays. Today I am joined once again by a future video streamer my nephew "PikachuBV". We made a practice video last time, and thought since we got some cool gifts for Christmas, that we would share it with all of you.
We were hoping for a Lugia (from what I have been told by the LGS) and did we ever strike gold at the bottom of that rainbow. Needless to say, PikachuBV is pretty happy! A nicely graded version of the card goes for around $300-$400.
Let us know what you think. Hope you had a great holiday season!

TPT Holiday Edition - Topps Chrome 2022 - Wander If I Juan An Autograph Of The Jay's Biggest Hitter...
Welcome Back and Happy Holidays!! I received a few boxes of cards over the past few days. I got this box of 2022 Chrome for the holidays and thought I'd share the experience with you. This was one of those boxes I was looking forward to breaking. This box did not let down. 3 autographs one of which was a big hit and will go into my personal collection as a Jays fan. But also some big named short printed cards were pulled. Which, well you'll have to tune in to find out.
Let us know what you think. Did I miss any player that I should've been more happy about to pull?

MTG: Lets Talk Dominaria Remastered While Opening Dominaria United/Modern Horizon 2
Welcome back - Today we'll discuss some of the preview list for Dominaria remastered. I personally am pretty stoked by it in the sense that it brings some old favourites to new players. Players should really enjoy all aspects of the game (new and old). I get that the reserve list is the reserve list for investment purposes. That just means that less people will be able to afford to play the older formats.
I do like the retro birds and unlike MTG 30th, you can actually play with these.
Let me know what you think of the previews so far.

Two Pack Tuesday - Ep. 35 - 2022 Gypsy Queen - We hit our last autograph & Pujols grading results
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 35 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
We are back at it with the last of our 2022 Gypsy Queen. We are in search for our last Autograph and we got it. We also hit a numbered rookie out of 99.
Lastly, you know it's been a while since our last break, we submitted the Pujols Auto /50 for grading and we got the results back. My guess is that it will be an BGS 8 or 9 but I was WAAAAY OFF!
Let us know what you think!

Magic The Gathering: The Brothers' War - Not All Wurms Are Bad! Discussing Sales Of MTG 30th
Welcome to our Collector Card Game Break. After hitting Starscream last week, I decided to give it another go. Hoping to Hit an Optimus, but also wanted to talk about 30th anniversary, and how the people have spoken. Nobody wanted this garbage
Checking another 2 collector boosters, and well...we hit a pretty nice foil.
Collector Packs cost about $35 CAD, and Set boosters were about $5
Well I hope you like the content. Let me know what you think about the set, about MTG 30 and the state of the game.
Have a great weekend!

Two Pack Tuesday - Ep. 34 - 2017 Upper Deck Grandeur E-Pack - Precious Metal Silver/Gold McDavid HIT
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 34 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
This week we are trying something a little different. Upper Deck's E-Store was having a black Friday sale on 2017 Upper Deck Grandeur precious metal coins. I watched another breaker (Shaun's collectables) crack into these and thought at $50 a pop it's hard to resist (So thank you Shaun's collectables). The price of 1 ounce of silver is at time of recording $21.50 USD. So really, the worst you can do is you're stuck with 1 ounce of Silver.
Fortunate for us, we hit a very nice Hi Relief coin out of 1,000. Definitely well worth over the $50 and even $99 (regular price) that Upper Deck was asking for one of these. (I would not recommend these at $99 USD a piece.)
There is an opportunity to actually hit an actual 1 ounce gold coin (which at today's price is great if you hit it)
Apparently, if you do want the box that goes with these coins, you do have an ability to request for 1 (at $3.00) each when you have the cards/coins delivered to you. I asked for 1, so we'll see what they look like in a later video when the coin arrives.
If you do want to get some of these but missed out on the sale, they do have these up for sale from time to time
Let us know what you think.

Magic The Gathering: The Brothers' War - A pedestrian's viewpoint that's more than meets the eye!
Welcome to our Collector Card Game Break. A little late to the game with opening The Brothers War in celebration of MTG 30th Anniversary.
Oh Hasbro, what are you doing to our game. I have said this on a few occasions but I am thinking the game will cease to exist from a manufacturer standpoint, but may continue to exist on the secondary market similar to how starcraft took on a life of its own, with the die hard fans continue to play. I think with all the cards that's out there, there's definitely an ability to do this. I mean 30 years worth of cards right?
Anyways, we're opening 2 set and 2 collectors boosters just to give our audience a sense of what a casual collector/player can expect.
The best thing about the collector boosters.....the Transformers!!
Some of my facts are definitely incorrect (ie. quicksilver is not from Tempest but rather Urza's Legacy).
Collector Packs cost about $35 CAD, and Set boosters were about $5
Well I hope you like the content. Let me know what you think about the set, about the cross over and about the debacle that is Hasbro
Have a great week!

Formula 1 2022 - Race Sundays - Race #22 Abu Dabi - Post Race Recap - Danke Seb!
Welcome to our F1 Post race show covering Race results and discussion.
Today we find ourselves at the Final race of the season in Abu Dabi. Oohh the humanity to wake up so early.
The F2 race was definitely way more interesting mainly to see whether Logan Sargaent would qualify for his Super License. Spoiler, he does! Congrats! While first place was sealed, it was definitely interesting to see the fight for second, and it was a close one.
The official race finish was:
1) Max Verstappen
2) Charles Leclerc
3) Sergio "Checo" Perez
4) Carlos "Smooth Operator" Sainz
5) George Russell
6) Lando Norris
7) Estaban Ocon
8) Lance Stroll
9) Daniel Ricciardo
10) Sebastian Vettel
Really think Red Bull should consider some sort of "help you team" incentive for Verstappen.
I got some packs as well, so we will be breaking some Topps Turbo Attax, 2021 Topps Flagship and I have 1 pack of 2020 Topps Chrome.
As always, we look to add to the commentary while we break the cards and discuss the race. This commentary is purely for fun, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it.
We would love to hear your input about what you thought about the race. Did you enjoy it? What are your thoughts on 2023?
In any cases, see you in March 2023!

Two Pack Tuesdays - Ep. 33 - 2022 Gypsy Queen - We are WANDERING no more!
Two Pack Tuesdays episode 33 - Welcome Back and thank you for joining us.
We are back at it with our 2022 Gypsy Queen. We are left Wandering no more if we'd get a Franco. We are also in search for our last Autograph. Mind you probably doesn't matter what we get considering we hit the Pujols/50 which is by the way been submitted for Grading. My guess is that it will be an 8 or 9.
Let us know what you think.
