    Man he even added music in the video. Rudy is going Hollywood on us fast. Soon he will be talking about Del Taco instead of Taco Bell. This is the darkest timeline.

    A trip down memory lane sigh just when you thought the knee and back pain were enough to remind you your getting old, Rudy
    opens a box of a magic set that was not just 8.95 but also you remember getting on your bike at 13-14 to ride to the comic store to buy a Starter deck and that lasted you a month of playing at the kitchen table with your friends.

    I remember opening two mirage boxes when I was a kid with my brother. Reason I was able to get back to magic was because I still had two LED and was shocked at the price so I sold them along with a moderately played Bazaar of Baghdad.

    Man this was awesome. We used to have a baseball card shop in the strip center in front of my neighborhood growing up. My friend and I would ride our bikes up there in 5th grade when we started playing to buy what little magic they had. Mirage was the set out when we started playing.

  • @Brinta3

    Such a pretty set. I loved it back then.
    I am definitely going to collect it some day but I’ll probably have to buy every card anew because I don’t think I used sleeves back then, and I certainly wasn’t careful with all the commons.

    I was worried the Lion's Eye Diamonds that I bought were fake because they didn't seem to have the right feel to them, but I compared them to a bunch of Mirage basic lands I had and Mirage cards have that strange grit feel, not so glossy, like you were pointing out at about the 5:30 mark. Such a great vid Rudy, thanks!

    Ice-Age Starter box was my first taste of Magic the Gathering, bought the starter box, out of cariousity to see what was inside and read the rule book on how the game was played. I havent bought or played MTG since, until Mirage came out, I bought a starter box and from there and became a minor collector buying starter boxes and boosters from time to time, when other Series came out, for a couple of years and playing with high school friends. .... ahh, memories.

    That land cycle, Flood Plain and Bad River etc, are the original Fetches, the downside being they come in tapped, which is why they arent more expensive. But they have been holding that little bit of value because of Commander players.

    Some of my 1st purchases of magic cards in 99/2000 were tempest and legacy tourney packs. Last one I got was kamigawa I think? tourney packs w/2 boosters were used for the occasional sealed tournament at the lgs I used to go to, a lot more fun than getting wrecked by people playing fruity pebbles, red deck wins, and all sorts of other old ass staple archetypes.
