Many Magic: The Gathering players ask the question: is it worth it to buy From The Vault?

This is a question whose answer is fairly straightforward from a purely financial perspective, but becomes less clear when we look at the actual need and function for the cards this product contains.

For this video, I will not only focus my answer on the most recent from the vault, from the vault Annihilation, but I will also be talking a little bit about the value of previous from the vault collections as well.

From The Vault: Annihilation has the following contents...

But do you need it? What exactly is From The Vault for? What purpose does it serve for you? These cards, some of them never before printed in a black border or with a foil version, are one thing and one thing only: BLING.

What is bling? The Oxford English Dictionary defines bling as: Expensive, ostentatious clothing and jewelry, or the wearing of them.

So we can say that the purpose of From The Vault is to offer players expensive and ostentatious cards for them to use in their decks. The From The Vault series is meant purely as bling.

Now, obviously players can bling out any decks in which these cards are legal, but typically these cards are used for blinging out Commander, Highlander, and Cube.
