100 Packs Of DRAGON MASTER MAGIA Tortures Me Slowly!

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The video documents an intense and financially risky endeavor where the creator opens 100 packs of *Dragon Master Magia* in a desperate hunt for the elusive "Starlight Extended Art" Dark Magician Girl card, which has plagued him across multiple sets including *Battles of Legend*, *Terminal Revenge*, and *Stampede*. To track the financial toll of this pursuit, the creator meticulously calculates his net profit or loss throughout the process, starting with a significant upfront cost for the boxes. He explains that unless he pulls the specific target card before losing approximately $1,200—the estimated value of the prize—he will remain in debt after the session ends. The video serves as both an entertainment piece and a cautionary tale about the high costs associated with modern trading card game openings, highlighting how quickly expenses can mount when chasing rare full-art cards without immediate success. Throughout the opening marathon, the creator pulls several notable singles that add value to his collection but fall short of breaking even or securing the main goal. He manages to pull a few "Chibi" versions of Dark Magician Girl and other solid hits like *Galaxy Photon Prime* and *Dragunity Glow*, noting that while these are desirable cards, they do not match the rarity or cost-effectiveness of the specific Starlight Extended Art version he seeks. The stream also features updates on his channel's operations, including a major shift in how giveaways are handled; instead of waiting months to announce winners, future prizes will be distributed live during weekly Whatnot streams starting that Friday. He promotes these upcoming events as opportunities for viewers to win vintage singles and other items while offering free credits to new users, aiming to streamline his workflow after years of falling behind on giveaway announcements due to a heavy content schedule. As the pack openings near their conclusion with only six packs remaining, the creator reflects on the irony of the current trading card grading market, discussing how double-grading services have emerged to verify high-grade cards amidst controversies over fake slabs and inconsistent standards from major graders like PSA. He mentions his own plans to return graded cards soon as other companies recover from recent shutdowns caused by high demand. Despite pulling some valuable items that could be sold individually or in sets, the cumulative cost of the 100 packs leaves him with a negative balance relative to the value of what he has opened so far. The video ends on an emotional and chaotic note after he finally pulls a Blue-Eyes White Dragon during his Whatnot stream promotion, screaming in excitement before signing off, leaving viewers anticipating whether future attempts will eventually yield the elusive Dark Magician Girl needed to turn his financial fortunes around.

Today we see just how bad it is to open 100 packs for Dragon Master Mia. I'm screwed. >> Welcome back everyone. We are here with another Majia video, but it's not just any other Mijia video. I'm actually sort of rebooting this in a way so that you guys can see exactly how expensive this series can be. So, starting in today's Mijia hunt up until we pull the Starlight Extended Art Masia, I'm going to be showing our net profit on the packs opened the whole time. So, we're going to start at the number that was the cost of these boxes, which is fairly expensive. And then we're going to add back the value as we go. And if I get into the positive, we'll start at a positive number next time. If I'm negative, we're just going to keep showing how much of a hole we're in. I think that's probably the direction we're going to end up going. If we end up pulling it, you know, before we lose 1,200 bucks, I think then we break even cuz Mia is a $1,200 cardish. But when we don't do that, which is very likely, you'll see just how expensive it can be. Now, for today's giveaway, I'm going to be giving away this uh Blackwing Vue, the Emblem of Honor. So, let's talk about giveaways for a second. As you guys know, I suck at announcing the giveaways because I get way behind. I have so much going on. I end up not actually posting them for months. Well, we're going to change up how the giveaways work. After years on the channel, we're changing the way we do it. I'm going to still do daily giveaways. I'm going to show you guys what the giveaways are, but instead of waiting months to pick winners, every whatnot stream, I'm going to take all the giveaways from the past few videos and we're going to pick the winners live on whatnot. So that way I get the labels. It just makes it really easy for me to like ship them out very timely and you don't have to wait months to win the giveaways. So, it's going to add more giveaways to the whatnot streams. This will be just in addition to the stuff we're already doing. Plus, it's going to give you uh, you know, chances to see what you can win before we actually do the streams. So, leave a comment down below, like the video, subscribe, and all that good stuff. I appreciate you guys doing that. And check out the Whatnot stream this Friday. We're going to be doing a ton of crazy singles. I'm going to be giving away big vintage singles as well and doing the giveaways from this week live on Whatnot. So, that way I'm not like stressing out over, oh my gosh, I got to do the giveaways. I'm 3 months behind. I don't have time to do them. I have too much going on. This is going to make it way easier and you guys can just get in there and we're just going to consistently do whatnot streams, do more giveaways, more giveaways, more giveaways and everybody's got a chance to win. So, make sure you click the link down below, get $15 free credit as well while you're doing that. But it's completely these are going to be 100% free giveaways. They're not going to be buyers appreciation. They're just going to be you need to be there. So, enough yapping. Let's get going. Uh 100 packs today. We're going to see let's just make this the shortest like miniseries ever. And we're just gonna pull this thing. And as you can tell, I I've changed up a lot today. We got the giveaway switch up. We're doing a little bit different things with Amasia. The mat is upside down. This was a recommendation from the comments. They're like, "Just put it upside down and it'll be fine." It's like, it doesn't even matter what it looks like at this point. It's like, you're right. I'm just going to do that. So, uh, we're going to open 100 packs of Battles of Legend Glorious Gallery today and see if we can pull the card that's been torturing me for many years. It tortured me in Battles of Legend Terminal Revenge. Konami brought it back to torture me in Stampede. It wasn't as bad in Stampede because, well, Stampede did torture me. So if you think about it, Mia did torture me as well. So every set that's had Amasia has tortured me. So I think it actually does line up pretty well. And then in this set, Battles of Legend Glorious Gallery, we are also looking for Amasia. So some people I know some people are probably like, "Oh man, I think some people are getting tired of like full art openings as we've done a lot of them recently." So if you are that person and you're still watching this video, like probably just didn't even click on it if you're tired of it. But if you were, let me know what kind of videos you would like. I tried that V uh Vin Con uh Gen Con video the other day that I thought was really fun to record. And I would like to do more stuff like that when I'm at conventions, but I have to be at a convention, so it does make it a little bit harder to make that happen. But if you like that kind of video of just like searching for Yu-Gi-Oh cards at local stores, you know, maybe I can do more of that. I'm trying to find different things to do. Uh I do have a new series coming out on Monday that I think you guys are really going to enjoy. If you liked Battle City Bonanza, you're definitely going to like this new series. So keep an eye out. It is a master duel style series. Uh childhood Yu-Gi-Oh is not going anywhere. So, you got that um on tomorrow's video. We're continuing. It's Wednesdays. Usually, we do that. It's our first hit. That might be a couple bucks. Uh I don't think anything else is. There might have been like a one or two dollar card in there, but we haven't done much so far. So, yeah. Child of Yu-Gi-Oh! Wield Anime, I think, is going to be back Friday as well, the tournament. Uh you guys really enjoyed the one with uh C Reacts. He is just the goat. So, that was a super fun video if you missed it on the wheel enemy tournament with Merrick finally getting his appearance. Logia, our first chibi, some of those chibi really don't add up to much. Uh, but if you do get like a full set, they can be worth like 25 bucks. Uh, just because they're combined. So, individually, they're not as much, but if they go together, they can be I usually sell them as a lot. Uh, if I can get all 10 of them, which I'm opening a lot of these packs. So, I am going to put the total number of packs we've opened, I think, on the next video cuz I still have to go through. I didn't like keep the spreadsheet as well as I should have. So, I actually got to go back to all the videos and do math. Oh. Oh. Oh, wait. Maybe we need to know the number. Maybe this is it. So, the thing about the Majora, it's Starlight extended art is what we need. So, we don't need just a Starlight because there isn't a Starlight of it. We don't need just an extended art. We need both. Here we go. Make this the moment. Make this the moment. I'm so ready. I'm so ready. Gaga illusion. This would be so ironic if it was right after full art week 2. [sighs] Okay. All right. All right. That's a good one. That's a good one. It's not an extended art, but it is a chibi. And I do like the chibi. And it is the starlight. It's got a little like dot right there that would probably come off. But uh centering looks really good. How the corners look. This honestly looks super strong. Looks like a super strong uh PCG gradable card because, you know, I do have actually have some PCG things coming back because they had a whole thing. They're going to have like an announcement about, you know, centering adjustments and stuff like that. And I think they have a special code coming up. I think you guys can you can try it now. I think it's going to be actually I don't know if it's out yet, so I won't announce it yet, but there is going to be a code where you guys can do if you're thinking about doing PCG uh express at regular level. So, $20 express service. So, I'll be announcing that in my next uh PCG return. So, that'll be a limited time thing. But, if you do have something and you want to send it like super fast, it'll be only $20 a card. So, very, very nice. That's like bulk level PSA cost to get them back express level. So, that's going to be pretty sick. And I hope with the new adjustments, uh it seems like they're going to really help with like if you're getting killed on centering like I do sometimes, these are going to help and make it more reasonable. But, I I did get a preview already. He was uh one of my one of my guys at PCG was like, "Yeah, that rarity 5 set was pretty bad print quality, huh?" And I was like, "That's not a good sign for my [laughter] for my return." He was like, "No, it's not." But so I'm like, "Okay, but I have like five returns there." So it was not going to be all of them, I don't think. Cuz I have some OCG stuff. I've got my my serialized card I think is going to be coming back pretty soon. They were like, "Yeah, it is going to be coming back soon. We're working on everything because we've had a big rush of orders with PSA closing down." I'm like, "No worries." I mean, I'm not in a huge rush. And I mean, it's not going to take nine months like PSA is right now. So, that's good, I guess. Okay, we have Dragund Remis. I think I saw PSA was at the national and they had to shut down their on site cuz no matter what, like PSA is still the craziest demand. Like, people still want they're going to grade their cards with PSA. Doesn't matter if it's $80 level, super express level, like they're going to submit them. there there's just so many high-end cards right now and it's like when it's PSA graded it becomes $800,000 as a Pokemon card or a sports card that I mean why would you not for you know the the that level I guess so with Yu-Gi-Oh it's a little bit harder to make happen because we don't have those super high level of cards as much as like Pokemon sports etc so $80 becomes like a pretty big commitment for a grade so I think that's I I understand why they're still getting crazy demand even throughout, you know, there being of course some some crap going on. But there's a pyramid turtle junk armor. And nowadays they have that new service. I don't remember what it's called, but like they grade your grade. Have you guys seen this? There's like PSA, but then like there's another thing that grades how strong your card is. Like is it a strong nine or a strong 10? And it'll like tell you actually this is a strong nine or this is a a weak nine or whatever. or this 10 is actually deserves a 10 or this would be a black label 10 or Yeah, cuz they'll like some people like pregrade it too. It's crazy. The grading thing has gone to another level. I kind of understand that though with with grading there's so much like week 10 uh check out that the 2000 2 million s it must be a fake 10 or whatever. And it's like you can't obviously you can't just pick an era because just because it was in that era like let's say I graded it 20 years ago like a lot of times they'd give a lot of tens then that doesn't mean that every card graded was a weak 10 because there were mintier cards back then. So you'd think like back then there was a lot more minty cards. So it there would actually be a better chance of having a high grade. But then they're like well it was easier to grade. So really you have to go by a card bycard basis as always which some people seem to forget. They're like no it's a whatever search. So that means it's automatically a fake 10. So, I kind of get the the demand for like the second grading of the grading. It's a little ridiculous. Uh, honestly, just having so many different levels, but I get it because you want to know, is the 10 I'm buying for $5,000 a real 10 or is it actually a nine or whatever. So, I totally understand it, but uh also it we're getting to a point of like almost irony with what with what's going on with with graded cards, right? It's like, yeah, we grade our cards, they become very expensive, and then we double grade them. So, then they said that the grade that we got was actually correct. You know, it's pretty wild. So, yeah, it is what it is. Uh, you guys know I love grading, so I I've always been a fan of it, but even I can see we're getting to a point of weirdness for sure. Okay, so let's keep going. So, that that's one thing about like I don't why am I talking about the grading so much? We're not even grading cards right now. But uh with with the PSA and the other ones like SCGC now they just do like the one grade. It's just so much harder to really explain. You know, you only have 10 numbers. When you have the subgrades, you have so many more numbers and it gives you a much better story of what what's up with the card. But when you have one or 10 total numbers, you can give them one uh to explain their card. It's like such a big range in there, you know? It is tough cuz like a nine that's like almost an eight versus a nine that's almost a 10. Pretty big difference there. And you know, same with all the other numbers. There is a first full art of the day. So, we've gotten a Starlight and a full art. This has been a great opening for uh full art week. If you guys missed that, go check it out. Uh why can I not open the sleeve? Uh yeah. So, we did a bunch of full art openings and we had a point system. And yeah, we're also um by the way, the new YouTube thing, we're starting those giveaways with today's video. So, I'm going to do the regular YouTube announcements up until today. So that way uh you know it's not confusing for those other videos and then I'll start doing the whatnot thing and see if that works uh today. So hopefully uh or this week I guess. So th this this is the first one. So I'm hoping to make that a little simpler for me because honestly I have like negative time. I have no time. And I'm probably going to be trying to hire somebody soon hopefully to help me uh because I have my brother, but he, you know, goes to college and so he will be gone soon. And then I will be again swamped, which I'm already swamped with him here. So hopefully that can happen. I'm going to hopefully get some way for people to like say they're interested, etc. And hiring is such a nightmare. Uh I've only done it for editors, but it is a complete crapshoot most of the time. But I'm hoping to find somebody awesome and then, you know, they can help me. They can even like we can help me with like having two people to record stuff like when I go places. It'll be great. You know, there's just a lot of potential things that I could need. So, yeah. Hopefully that will happen and [music] uh go smoothly and everything. Uh feel like my camera needs to be uh cleaned off cuz it's kind of I don't know, maybe that's just the reflection. Actually looks pretty good. So, it's when I can always tell it's a little blurry is what is on the edge of these. It's kind of foggy, you know. It's not too bad though. But I am thinking about like doing a real camera too. Like another real camera instead of a phone just cuz like the iPhones I feel like the cameras are more annoying now. They're probably better but they're not as easy. Before it would they would easily focus and like I could tap on there it would manually focus. Now it does not manually focus at all. And I hate not having that option. It's like you can tap on the screen but it ain't going to do anything. Okay, what else do we have? Summon skull. Chibi summon skull. Took us 10 years to pull that. All right. I got to take this thing off. This thing's hot. Shout out to the Kings. Big Sacramento fan now. A cuff. Let's go. And the A's. Just big Sacramento fan. Let's keep it going. I feel a lot less hot now. All right. Bond between teacher and student. Majia 100 packs. Oh. Oh. Doof frog. Mirror barrier. The mirror of the barrier. All right. Come on, baby. Please. In this. I really just want to stop using this mat. I mean, it'd be nice to have the Mia, but the punishment is the worst part, I think. Pyramid Turtle is cool. These the cards are looking pretty good, actually. This this angle. I might actually keep doing this for a while. This is kind of the old angle you used to use. But a lot of times, the problem is the lighting. Like, if you go like this, it's a little dark, so you kind of have to angle them up, but it kind of works like that. Looks pretty good. Give it a little uh slight lighting. Tell. Okay. Yeah, I always have to move. Uh, whenever I move, I have change up my setup a little bit and a little bit and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Another chibi. We're getting a bunch of chibiies today, which is fantastic. Uh, yeah, reminder about the whatnot. Yeah, Friday. It's going to be insane. I have a lot of old school stuff that I bought at the collect, not collect, Gen Con. Uh, and a lot of that and a collection I bought recently. So, we're going to be doing a lot of vintage singles, like a lot of classic stuff, cheaper, expensive, like we have all varieties. It goes from there's Junk M. It's like a $10 card last time I checked. So, that should add a little bit of value. But, there is a lot of stuff there and we're just going to sell it all and whatnot. So, everything's going to be auctioned off live and whatnot except some giveaways potentially. So, I'll probably give away some cool cards there. So, I'll I'll be probably announcing that in this video or something or maybe tomorrow in the whatnot ad. So, if you want to see that, if you want to win cool old school cards, if you want to buy cool old school cards, I've got a ton of stuff. I'm going to have Blue Eyes, Dark Magicians, Ghost Rares, ultimate rares, uh you know, vint all almost all of it's going to be like original series GX 5Ds will be like ghost rare stuff, stuff like that. Ultimate rares. So, there is a lot substit. That's hopefully adding a couple bucks every time we get one of those. So, a lot to be excited about. So, keep an eye out for all that. Uh, that's going to be Friday, by the way. Friday. Vampire Lord. Cool. Not Thursday. Normally do Thursday, but uh, whatnot has like a fee, no fee thing on Friday, and I was like, I don't got anything going on Friday. I guess we'll do it Friday and save a little bit of money on fees. So, uh, keep an eye out. Friday, I'm aiming for I think three actually. Did I say four earlier? I think I'm aiming to do an hour earlier because we might go a little longer because last time I did singles, we did a 100 auctions and it was like a three almost maybe even a four, three and a half hour. I don't remember how long it was. It was a very long stream. So, there'll be a lot of giveaways. There'll be a lot of cards sold. Uh, if you like ghost rares, if you like ultimate rares, if you like old school cards, first ad unlimited, uh, you know, collector 10 stuff, there's all kinds of old vintage childhood cards that are going to be sold there. So, definitely do not miss that stream. And, and if you've never been on, whatnot, now's the time. I mean, there's so many giveaways happening. $15 free credit is still a thing. That's money right there. I'm still doing Chaos Origins as a bonus pack for, you know, until I can't do that anymore. So, make sure you check that out. You know, your first purchase with me, you're going to get a Chaos Origins pack. $20 bundles are still being sold. You're getting seven packs for $20. If you have 15 off, it becomes $5 plus shipping for seven packs. Then you get the eighth pack becomes an eight pack for $5 plus shipping. So, absolutely crazy deal there. Don't miss out. We got hu I mean, we've got that. And then we've got uh some pretty big whatnot stuff with like magnificent monsters, assuming I can get stuff. And then I think we're doing one gonna try to do a vintage one. Going to try to do a vintage one. So there is some cool stuff coming up. Not just with the whatnot, but of course all the YouTube series I was mentioning earlier. So there's just a bunch of content coming your way. So let me know down below. Of course, let me know uh what content you like the most. What do you want to see more of? What do you uh not want to see? Cuz I do want to see that, you know. I mean, don't be mean about it, but just let me it's not your favorite series, whatever, or not your favorite uh, you know, type of video. And I'll take it into account. Obviously, like a couple of comments aren't going to like two full arts. They aren't going to like necessarily speak for everybody, but it is good to know, at least when I'm considering like doing stuff. Okay, number 62, Galaxy Photon Prime Photon Dragon. Very nice. Another full art. Another full art. That is not Dragon Master Mia. They're both ultras anyway, so even if that was Mia, it would not be enough. Oh, another chibi. We're actually getting good pulls today. We're getting very solid pulls. We're not getting anything crazy, but we are getting very solid pulls. Dragunity glow. If we don't get it today, we'll just probably do another 100 pack opening and just do a 100 packs every time we open it and just try to knock it out cuz that is a lot of packs at once cuz I really want to finish this. Like I don't want this to be a 50 episode series like whatever or whatever it was for Stampede cuz I actually do want to pull the card, you know? I mean, I've always wanted to pull the stampedes as well, but like this time I there's a couple couple reasons. The Mat and the There's Dark Magician Girl. We might have gotten almost every Chibi this time, which is making me very upset after uh full art week. You guys should definitely go watch that out. Watch that out. What does that even mean? I don't know. Okay, see if we can get something else. One Starlight, two full arts. Feels like we probably won't, but you never know. You never know. Sheen, that was one we didn't have. Dude, we've gotten technically we could get 12. And if we don't get any repeats, we could get them all. I don't know if we had that one either. Maybe at the very beginning. So very close to having all of the chibiies, which is pretty crazy. Uh, Le Fusion, I think, is actually a few bucks. So that's good as well. A lot of these singles will be posted on my whatnot stream as well. So if you want to uh grab singles I usually I will put them up for even if it's only like $1. I'll put stuff up for that. So you can use the $15 free credit. You do have to pay shipping. I think it doesn't cover the uh credit, but if you get multiple things during the stream, it will bundle. I don't think it does that on marketplace right now for some reason. So uh yeah, just wait for the stream if you want to buy all that. Broxen34.com will also have some some stuff, but I don't know exactly yet. Those are mostly consignments and my own stuff usually, so keep an eye out. Ruxen34.com, of course. Uh, if you have your own consignments, you can send them there on ruxon34.com. We got some big stuff. We have Yu-Gi-Oh. We have One Piece. We have Pokemon. Got a Moon Bion for sale right now. The guy just lowered the price to 4500. So, if you're interested or even want to make an offer, it's PSA 10, obviously, uh, for that. So, uh, not not raw for that price. We've got a bunch of old school Yu-Gi-Oh stuff. We've got ARS, Yu-Gi-Oh Slabs, PCG. We've got TCG or not TCG, PSA, all kinds of stuff you could want. So, if you have a preference, there's a lot of options for you. Okay, six packs left. Here we go. Six more packs. Five more packs. Mijia time, please. Come on, baby. That's not Amia. Just It'd be a pretty crazy four boxes if we got three full arts, a Starlight, and a and one of them was a actual full art Starlite. I'd be down. Three packs left. Learning Elf. I feel like I've pulled Learning Elf so many times in this Learning Elf. Okay. It's probably cuz that that one reminds me of Learning Elf as well. That the art is very similar. Last Pack Magic, guys. L Patrick [music] for the last pack magic. Hit that subscribe button. Check out whatnot this Friday at 3 p.m. Let's pull the uh Mia next time. Let's pull it next time. All right, so here is our total. How far we went negative or positive. I feel like even with the good polls, we probably went negative cuz these boxes are not that cheap. So check out some other videos on your way out. The whatnot stream this Friday at 3 p.m. Central rux34.com and I'll see you guys in the next video which will be childhood Yu-Gi-Oh tomorrow.
