Daniel chose to redeem two boxes. The first was from Rise of the Machine. His reasoning stemmed from his previous experience with the mana blip—a catastrophic event that rendered him and all mages unable to use magic or anything dependent on mana. To feel more secure, he decided he needed tools and assets that didn't rely on mana.
No, of course, he wasn't being paranoid. As a wise man once said, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket," and a prudent rabbit doesn't dig only one burrow. This was simply the behavior of a cautious man ensuring the safety of himself and his family.
The second box, naturally, was from The Ragnarok Tales of The Rebel God set. Despite the inability to actualize many god-type cards, the set still contained numerous items and resources that were incredibly valuable and unique to it.
