Unboxing? It's more like an envelope opening, really...
Anyways, here's a bonus Card Opening video where I open the Magic the Gathering Secret Lair - Special Guest: Junji Ito for a playset of Thoughtseizes. I talk about my thoughts on the product as well as the trajectory of WotC's direct to consumer model. Will I get the bonus Shadowborn Apostle chase bonus card? Let's see...
I had some additional thoughts after the video about the die-cut appearance of these cards. Upon further inspection, the cards all have completely uniform edges and corners (a rarity in MTG cards produced in the US), which I really like. The Japanese printed cards pull off similar uniformity by laser cutting the cards from the sheets, resulting in a slightly darker edge. The lip that die-cutting creates on the cards isn't an actual dealbreaker, and I can see that flattening over time, especially while double sleeved and packed into a snug deckbox.
