Actually... I can't speak for Rudy, but I think he sees it like that. He has roughly 3600 patrons. Even if all of them were only $5, which they couldn't buy these boxes that's 18,000 a month. To get, and maintain that amount and hopefully increase you have to keep it up. Think of videos like these as advertising and maintaining a brand. Why do Coke and Pepsi advertise? Going by Socialblade he makes 1k to 18k or so via youtube alone. Patreon he probably clears easily 25k a month, and youtube maybe 10k. It should be clear by that alone why he does these box openings. Oh and some of that youtube revenue comes from the box openings so outside of patreon related videos that revenue is likely quite a bit lower than 10k. Basically, patreon box opening = more valuable use of time than any other type of video.
@@q...... anyone can make money when they spend any amount of time on a topic they know will get views. Who cares? It's also a cool fan service and I don't think too many people would mind having a large TH-camr opening their box - even though you're not wrong I feel like your comment is pointless considering most viewers already are aware of this
@@FatesxofxthexDead I was replying to the investment of time... It wasn't a means of degrading Rudy or anything like that. I am fine with his content be it opening boxes or talking about investing in or outside of MTG. As for it being pointless? I think I made a few very good points that most people are not aware of -- even long time viewers, and it was on topic with what I was replying to. As for Rudy opening their boxes? That's their choice. I personally like to open my own, but that's my choice and that is their choice. "It's also a cool fan service". Opening boxes I don't think is a service for fans, I mean unless someone is incapable of opening their own box, or it would be more difficult if they did it? I don't really see it as a service. The only way I could see it being a service would be more of you scratch my back I'll scratch yours as in shout outs, or saying x person bought this box they also have a youtube channel or other social media, etc and give that out.
After watching the first 4 boxes out of the first case. I knew the last two were going to be epic. Ruby isn't a scum bag after all. I figured he'd stash the guaranteed mythic and crack open the second case!
amazon had a deal on modern horizons + land station for $170 so I ordered one(and wound up with 3 by accident which I had to eventually pay for, but I ain't complaining), opened them all and got a four forces and two urzas including a foil of each, as well as like 25 horizon lands and a bunch of other stuff. what a good damn set, seriously, there's a ton of great cards.
Got a Lord Urza, Mox, Foil Prismatic Vista, Negation, Sword in my box and a few other mythics & shock lands. Probably cracked $300 on my box. Would have like to get a Hexdrinker though. I love the art cards, nice touch. Very nice box opening for your patron, exciting!
Rudy, serious question. I bought a box from my LGS and the packs opened in that expected order. Well a week ago when I had been drinking, I also ordered a box from Amazon. Well, it came in today and when I opened it, the packs were in the usual order that you expect from standard packs. Why was this second box different? Have you or anyone come across one yet? The first box that opened as expect was NC9057 2. The 2nd box that opened like usual standard sets was SD 91271 5. I have no idea what these mean.
@@manguun prices in europe and in united states are very different, in europe card are usually half the price of what rudy says on the vids and what people say in the comments.
Rudy's first Box was $260 at TCGP Market. Second box was $295. The box I opened on my channel is now sitting at $278 so it's not impossible. I've seen better luck with this set than most but you need to sell soon before they tank. These boxes are being printed and opened like crazy and singles won't maintain their value after the first week. If you're looking for singles, it's the best time to buy before the first three months or so runs out and the prices start inching up.
anybody else notice that the first horizon land to be opened in every single box is the sunbaked canyon? Every opening vid I've seen so far, its been that one first.
Btw Rudy Hodakk is like 20$ rares now the arisen Necropolis thing. It went from 2$ to 24$ and now at 20$ because of bridgevine and you hit 2 of them like they were 2$ card and they WERE but now 20$ and one of the most expensive rares.
Rudy dont know if you or anyone here can answer me. I just opened some packs of Modern Horizons and the pack order was different from yours. My packs were organized like regular packs(rare/mythic/token/land in the back of pack) Dont think they seem tampered with as I pulled 3 mythics and 2 Horizon lands(total of 16 packs). But the card stock is bad. They are all cut bad. Do some distributors give a deal on misprinted product from wotc?
1:11 WOAH... Foil tokens don't count as foils. They are there own slot. Look at that double foil pack. Edit: This happens like 2 more times through the video. Damn.
Yeah I did a prerelease draft and everyone was confused 😂 some packs had just a foil token and some had a foil token and regular token so draft was wack
The best taco ate is one from taco bell. You have to really appreciate the significance of floppy tacos and Rudys modern horizons booster box opening. Giggity😁
I got foil fiery Islet in my box :) it's worth 120$ where I trade my cards. Made a profit of 100$ on the box alone. Felt good. Edit: I assume this was pre recorded because the cards' prices have insanely skyrocketed.
I have a commander sliver deck. Had it for about 5 years now, 30-0 undefeated, rarely play it, not a casual deck at all, if you play commander for fun it's just not a deck you'll play if you want to keep friends.
they could really skyrocket these illustration cards if they, maybe, make a special edition card that could be redeemable by trading a full collection or something like that. It would be quite cool to be honest
With the statistics available from deck list sites, MTGO and I suppose mildly MTGA, and tracked prices for years couldn’t we make an algorithm that could take in all this info and provide a estimate value over time? I feel like we have all the data public but nobody has done that work
Quick question are all the booster pack cards in this order? I received a package with the order reversed (commons then uncommons then rare, art card, token) is this normal?
Buy the 3 pack booster drafts now while the are still $20 bucks. 9 packs, Serra, Sword, First Sliver, Wrenn. Also save all your Lightning Skelementals. Us vintage players will be Trippling the price for our black/red burn deck 6 copies please! Now I have 8 3 mana 6 damage spells. 4 ball lightning, 4 Lightning Skelementals $5 bucks by end of August.
Can someone explain how this Patron box opening works? Someone pays Rudy to open a box, he appraises the cards, and then sells them for the Patron...? Or he just sends the Patron all the cards in the mail after being opened? I'm confused.
@@kurtmcconnell4473 oh alright, I was looking around online and couldn't really find anything. I'll def check with my lgs on monday; looking for soulherder and answered prayers, the art on those is so good
Hey Rudy? Did you notice that the cards in this expansion are more fragile? I opened a case, and a lot of the cards had damage along the side. Looks like from rollers.
There was one really good tournament winning Hydra rudy... blistering hydra was a champ! He doesn't realize the name he can't pronounce is actually higher a decently valued card.
Omg, that was freaking an amazing box! Now, i have a question. What suggestions would you have to somebody wanting to create a channel like yours? You are my idol!
The next main set will most likely be a artifact phyrexia set with slivers and affinity. They just gave us the stuff to broken to put into standard. Why would they make a commander deck right after releasing a sliver commander in MH!
My brother got the five lands, Urza, Wrenn and Six, Serra the Benevolent, Force of Negation AND Sword of Sinew and Steel in one box... My box is on its way through the Swedish postal service (WILL IT EVER ARRIVE?) and I'm feeling like I probably won't get a good box after seeing my brother's pulls.
I opened my first box on Friday, was pretty much a God Box. It started strong, and had an amazing finish. first pack was a dud, then Sunbaked Canyon, and 3rd pack was force of negation. Once I got that it never really stopped. The grand finale in the last pack was a Foil urza and a regular eladamri's call. Final tally of the major hits for my box was a Full set of Horizon lands, Hogaak, Force of Negation, The first Sliver, Urza, mox tantalite and ranger of Eos, With A foil Forest, Urza, and foil Cabal therapist.
ok... wtf is going on right now... I have opened 2 boxes and I was drunk on the second opening, but the tokens and rares were in the back of the pack... and I was just drunk and figured because I was also drunk during the first box opening... that my memory is all f'd on this and then didn't think about it till I saw this... so yeah... wtf is up with the pack timelines when we open, sometimes it's the front of the pack, sometimes the back? so confused.
You could get boxes for 184 on mass drop...with my new account plus referral I got another 4-5 boxes for 164...i only have around 20 boxes of modern horizons....I don't have high hopes for the aging of this set....it will take some time to shake out and will probably not be a heavy grower lol....one overpriced set can't be carried just on the lands :)
I don't know if anyone cares about the art cards in the packs, but I think they're cool. They just like gave you an extra random mini art print in each pack.
I have to be honest - is the box honestly worth its value? i have opened 2, and as the prices come down as the hype settles - seems like its going to be a struggle by the end of the month to hit that $200 mark.

Me internally: But there's 5 plus the vista.

First time getting boxes open on camera and couldn't be happier with the pulls! Keep it up Rudy!~
F for hogaak. Was a 20 dollar bill.
Pulls 20 dollar hogaak, next card, well i guess weve stalled out! 🤣🤣🤣

I hope you find a Mox Rudy with the special floppy taco alternate art.
I pulled a foil the first sliver from my box.... Was blown away..
It's also my favorite packaging because you can just SPREAD 'EM
not sure why but the box I got off of amazon the card order was the same as recent standard sets and not like the box openings I have seen here.
funny just looking back to this video and seeing his meh reaction to wrenn and six lol
The reason I did not buy this set at all, even at 185 dollars(Sweden), I would never ever get that lucky LOL
My LGS has a commander league and we had a guy with the first sliver commander deck with food chain in it. The deck was just awesome!
Crazy good set of boxes.

Great box! My box had all 4 Horizon lands, BOTH Swords, Urza, Mox Tantalite, first Sliver and a crappy foil rare.
On the topic of $1-2 rares, always remember Tarmogoyf at one point was bulk jank that no one wanted.
I've been waiting to get lucky for 25 years and I'm still waiting.
you can always buy it
You can buy luck?
She's out there somewhere, man. Keep your taco floppy and your luck will change.
