Man, love that ur patrons allow us to see these opened but personally if I put down that much money on MTG I would definitely wanna open the cards myself
18:32 Pack 11 - Rudy finally figures out how to open the gold inner seal smoothly. Then forgets in pack 12 at 20:00, and scratches and claws at it for 15 seconds again. :)
Tempest was the expansion set I stopped collecting MTG... to this day, Tempest is still in my opinion one of the best expansions I ever played/collected. After Fifth Edition, the stuff that came out of Tempest absolutely blew my mind. None of my friends at the time was into MTG as much as I was but still played, yet only had cards prior to Tempest. The spells, and creatures (slivers, especially) took them to pound town and I've loved Tempest ever since. I know MTG's come a long way, but I honestly feel like it will never be as exciting as it was circa Tempest era.
I'm feeling you man:) Also played a lot in the Ice/Age/4th/5th/Tempest/Weaterlight/Mirage and I loved Tempest so much. Also what you're saying.. these cards back in the day have more atmosphere and story to tell than the new cards today(But also there are some cards today which has this old, deep Magic feeling, but not so much cards than back in the days).
I remember I was 14 getting 3 boxes of tempest starters for 80 bucks. Ancient tomb was worthless. Wasteland was like a dollar. The money rares were time warp, commander grevin el vec, rathi dragon, etcmemories
Do your remember what the prices were on Greven il-vec at the time? It was my first legendary card when I was a little kid , but never dared to ask the local shopowner back then. :)
Id love to see you talk more about the set youre opening, "when it came out" type of thing, maybe even financial aspects of it on release or whatever. One of my favorite videos was one where you look at those old magazines with prices and go through financial aspect of magic back in the day.
The 12 starter decks are not quite equivalent to 36 boosters. The number of rares and uncommons is the same, but you get 396 common in the booster box, while in the starter box you get 312 commons + a bunch of basic lands. There's actually more total cards, but fewer commons. And since the commons have quite a bit of money value now, the booster box is the slightly better deal.
Just caught up on Rudy channel. So glad i bought that box of Tempest Starter boxes back in the day! I was young and didn't understand rarity till my late 20s. I thought in my teens it was all about more cards!
You're so entertaining dude! This has become one of my all-time favorite channels on YT. Thank you for being genuine and fun, Rudy! Keep up the good work / vids.
OMG, the memories. This is the set I started on. Nostalgia overload. If I had kept all the cards I came across in my teen years, I'd be in good shape. and have 4 playsets of Homelands on top of it, lol.
Rudy, do you think there is a correlation between the downgrade cardstock quality and the increase of products Wizards release now? Can they fix the quality while maintaining this fast pace? Long time you have not talk about wallet fatigue... did you realize that in the last two weeks we've been promoted with M25, Dominaria, Jace Spellbook, Elves Vs Inventors, etc. Add to that the fact that Arena get more attention as it can be stream. We even get a glimpse on Heroes of Dominaria. And Wizards even promote between all that their Brawl format. Is it me or is it too much? How with all these products promotion I could get intesrested in them when my attention is spread everywhere? Even if M25 would have been good it would heve been already an historic thing. Would like you talk more about this buisness model and if you think its is good for Wizard on the long term.
There absolutely is a correlation. Just look at the set/block release dates. The exact time they started doubling down on annual sets is the exact time the quality dropped dramatically.
They are simply trying to stop the bleeding with quantity over quality, they realize that they're out of touch with the people and don't know what will make them happy so they're trying to take shots in the dark hoping the people will by chance like one of them.
Well they have to know there is a problem, but I believe we might be getting the pitchforks for the wrong people. I think 3 years ago Mark Rosewater did panel at comic con talking about the shift from Core Sets and 3 blocks in a set to the new 2 block system, but in there he also said that they are working 2 years ahead. By "they" he was referring to himself and the people at WoTC. So R&D and design and testing, not to mention the artists are all working towards putting out a good set far in advance of anything else that happens. That also means their plate is full. I think Hasbro (and their marketing teams and "Market Research") is the one pushing all this extra product and putting a strain on the production side, demanding costs be cut while pushing out all this extra stuff, and that is causing the issues. Pushing out 10+ different products in a 2-3 month period isn't something they ever did until Hasbro go their hands in there. And it isn't like Hasbro doesn't have a track record for doing this with their properties. So I am weary of calling out WoTC all the time because they could very well be working to fix things, but they move slow and might not be entirely in control anymore.
They SIMPLY need to get a proper factory to produce cards. European cards are totally fine, but all the cards they produce in the US are literally toilet paper. So there is your reason, MADE IN US is really not a quality you want ... (at least not in that shit-factory)
Great video. It's always good to see the old cards opened again. Endless screams and that minion Of the wastes bring back some memories and I hated propaganda with a passion. The sound of the cards when you look through them is so different, I miss that and the colors of artwork
Hey Rudy. Been watching your videos for a while now. Just gotta say. I could NOT save all those boxes and packs without opening. Just couldn’t do it. Kudos!
Lotus Petal always seemed to be one of those "rare commons" out of the first 6 booster boxes that came into my store way back then, there were only 8 Lotus Petals pulled in total
No Wastelands, no Lotus Petal, no Earthcraft, no Time Warp, no Propaganda, etc. Wow! Sorry bro. But it was still super fun to watch and it brings me back to college days. Thanks for that.
Edwin the Magic Engineer 1. He did get a propaganda. 2. It isn’t entirely out of the realm to get no petals because there’s gotta be at least 100 commons in this set. 3. Scroll racks are like 30, and that itself is the value of a bit more than one earthcraft. The third scroll racks makes up for no time warp. 4. The bigger deal is no wasteland :/
I remember back in the day when this set came out opening my first starter and getting a Time Warp inside and thinking it was so cool. I used to have this full set just from cracking packs (along with Mirage, Weatherlight, Visions, and the Urza's block). Man it has been a long time.
I played 4th edition to alliances, then came back at mirage for a while, then came back at innistrad when I was like 29 years old. Now I play arena sometimes. I wish I kept my old cards.... who knows where those boxes are. So much revised - mirage cards just sitting somewhere.
Where are the blue gloves man? Gotta drive to OpenBoosters' house next time and borrow them. Otherwise great video as always Rudy, thanks for the content and keep up the good work :)
Welcome to Hosetown population Bruce. Mayor Rudy will gladly help your wallet contents magically disappear!!! This is why you leave it sealed ya'll! Curiosity killed the cat and your savings account. This is trick Rudy can not do, get your money back on a 1k box.
Back in the day, Tempest was among my favorite sets. Though, this box opening felt like a kick in the nuts. Scroll Rack was a 4-6 $ card in 1997/98 but Cursed Scroll was definitely the top card, at one point being worth well over 20 $. I remember Kai Budde using a play-set in his 1999 world championship winning red artifact deck - in fact I believe Cursed Scroll was part of the top four decklists. Kai's deck was really something else. It featured a lot of cards from the Urza block but also Ancient Tomb and Boil from Tempest, or City of Traitors from Exodus. Great times ...
I loved Urza Block. I remember going 9-0-1 at a PTQ with a deck NO ONE had thought to bring Lackey Sligh. First turn Goblin Lackey, 2nd turn Goblin Mutant 5/3 lol It was so fast, it crushed the slower combo deck 80% of the people were playing at the time, squirrel prison. Too bad I lost in the top 4, cus 2 spots qualified for Pro Tour ... I had so much potential at age 16....WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED hahaha
I remember Tempest and I remember it being so so when I cracked packs. This reinforces why I should be buying singles and not cracking pricey sealed...
I remember back in the day snagging a cursed scroll for a force of Nature, and feeling bad about it as the kid ran away happy with his 8/8 green creature.
You remember when your opponent played Intuition? He would picked out 3 copies of the same card and start to put one in his hand.... And youd be like HEY! I STILL GET TO PICK WHICH ONE, haha. Good Times
Lots of people commenting on the discrepancy between the value of the singles vs the price of the box. Lots of people failing to realize there is a world of difference between “NM” copies of cards like Aluren, Scroll Rack, and Ancient Tomb...and pack fresh versions of the same.
o_o it's funny my friend's deck. Which i currently have, contains the Commander. which he likes the most. ... But then there's a Volrath's stronghold in the same deck.
Ok, as someone following Rudy because he is so entertaining and to learn some few things even if i don't play magic, how are new players supposed to enter magic when there are prices like that ?
At a fair I used to help out with as a kid one of the vendors would sell old magic cards(this was around 1999 to 2002), and he would sell these starters for like $13, gave me like 4 for helping him out with some stuff and I regret not realizing how expensive they were cause I gave them to friends at school for free.
I love ya Rudy but you got you're off a bit on your value assumptions and why boosters were worth more than starters. Boosters have 11 commons per pack, for a total of 396 in a box. The starters only have 26, for a total of 312. With 110 commons in the set, those 84 extra chances for a Lotus Petal average out to about an extra Petal per box. Not a lot, but it was worth a few bucks with them being sought after right from the set release. Thank you for this trip down memory lane. I love Tempest as this was the first new set to come out when I started Magic, but with 110 rares there was a ton of variation from box to box. I bought several six box cases working on full playsets for my wife & me. On the average I only expected to get two of a rare per case of six boxes (216 rares / 110 = 1.96 per case)…I never saw anything like three Scroll Racks in a single box. New sets just don't have ratios like this anymore...for example, Ixalan was only 82 (Rares & Mythics) to 105 Commons.
Of course booster packs are more random than starter decks. As of this point in the game, WotC did not allow repeats of the same card within the same individual pack. That means that you are more likely to get duplicates in a random assortment of booster packs than a random assortment of starter decks.
Yeah cursed scroll is banned in its block. Used to always like a multiplayer deck I had with nature's revolt, spidersilk armor, and evincar's justice. All lands are 2/2s, except mine which are 2/3s and they all take 2 damage.
That's just criminal, such bad packs. I'd cry. I opened plenty of Lotus Petals, Reanimates and Wastelands back in the days... (never got Ancient Tombs sadly)
Rudy, I hate the fact that you struggled with the inner pull line when there was a clean point where it starts :( e.g. in 15:40 you accidentally hit the right spot but still struggle with the wrong point :(
Yes! Tempest has always been my favorite set due to just how damn COOL it looks! Every card from Tempest is just gorgeous.
Man, love that ur patrons allow us to see these opened but personally if I put down that much money on MTG I would definitely wanna open the cards myself
what if Rudy gave you a discount if you let him do it
Damn, THREE Scroll Racks, the 2nd best rare of the set...55$ each in 2019
Rudy: we're getting pounded horrible box opening
Also rudy: this is the best box
18:32 Pack 11 - Rudy finally figures out how to open the gold inner seal smoothly. Then forgets in pack 12 at 20:00, and scratches and claws at it for 15 seconds again. :)
marcmarc1967 it was hard watching him scratch where the glue was so many times
The whole box and still didn't figured out how the golden wrap works....
Tempest and Urza's were the best editions, joined with VI edition. Oh, good times.
Now you can play a 5/4 on turn four and a 12/12 on turn 3...
Tempest was the expansion set I stopped collecting MTG... to this day, Tempest is still in my opinion one of the best expansions I ever played/collected. After Fifth Edition, the stuff that came out of Tempest absolutely blew my mind. None of my friends at the time was into MTG as much as I was but still played, yet only had cards prior to Tempest.

I remember I was 14 getting 3 boxes of tempest starters for 80 bucks. Ancient tomb was worthless. Wasteland was like a dollar. The money rares were time warp, commander grevin el vec, rathi dragon, etcmemories
I remember walking to the card shop by my house and getting starter decks. Trading away the cards I wish I had today haha.
The good ol' days when you'd be trading away all the Time Warps, Alurens and Wastelands for Rathi Dragons and Cursed Scrolls
Do your remember what the prices were on Greven il-vec at the time? It was my first legendary card when I was a little kid , but never dared to ask the local shopowner back then. :)
boredsak I remember trading wastelands for greven il vec xD. If you regretted not buying scarab god on the cheap, this is even more nightmarish!
Same. I bought 3 booster boxes from neutral ground
Id love to see you talk more about the set youre opening, "when it came out" type of thing, maybe even financial aspects of it on release or whatever. One of my favorite videos was one where you look at those old magazines with prices and go through financial aspect of magic back in the day.
"Welcome to Rudy's Mapped Box Emporium where we map out all of the commons and leave you with the good rares and uncommons"
tempest is basically the set I started playing with. this video is like nostalgia trip
Dont you wished you bought more $3 packs now that they are 50? :P
Same. Wrath cycle and the Urza cycle are the best
The 12 starter decks are not quite equivalent to 36 boosters. The number of rares and uncommons is the same, but you get 396 common in the booster box, while in the starter box you get 312 commons + a bunch of basic lands.

Welcome to Hosetown:
population : Bruce
HE got 3 Scroll Racks....thats the 2nd highest priced card of the set @ 55$ each... Cant ask for more than that!
He got 3 scroll racks bro.
“Is one lotus petal too much to ask?”
YES
Disclaimer: No Lotus Pedals were harmed in this video.
OMG, the memories. This is the set I started on. Nostalgia overload. If I had kept all the cards I came across in my teen years, I'd be in good shape. and have 4 playsets of Homelands on top of it, lol.

So there is your reason, MADE IN US is really not a quality you want ... (at least not in that shit-factory)
They have been producing cards for over 20 years. And that same "shit" US factory also put out product that was totally fine in the same time frame.
3.222%? The ladies ratio has spiked over the last few weeks.
Someone must have bought them all out...Giggity.
Oh the memory lane... the set that started it all for me. Tradewind Rider, Cursed Scroll, and Murri’s Guile...
Tempest is $1000 a box? What an amazing set! Brings back all the memories
I played in a bunch of Tempest sealed tournaments when this set came out. What a great time in life, i still remember the smell of the cards...
Great video. It's always good to see the old cards opened again. Endless screams and that minion Of the wastes bring back some memories and I hated propaganda with a passion. The sound of the cards when you look through them is so different, I miss that and the colors of artwork
Doesnt Rudy have that box of like 100s of lotus petals?
more likely 200+
Ha
No wonder why they are 8$,thats like a buyout
he bought someones collection of them, he did a video about it a year ago
Can't buy them out. Tempest had an insane print run and it'll take millions of dollars to buy out a specific common.
Man I remember buying one of these starter decks! I still have the story book that came with it!
Hey Rudy. Been watching your videos for a while now. Just gotta say. I could NOT save all those boxes and packs without opening. Just couldn’t do it. Kudos!
Lotus Petal always seemed to be one of those "rare commons" out of the first 6 booster boxes that came into my store way back then, there were only 8 Lotus Petals pulled in total
No Wastelands, no Lotus Petal, no Earthcraft, no Time Warp, no Propaganda, etc. Wow! Sorry bro.
But it was still super fun to watch and it brings me back to college days. Thanks for that.
Edwin the Magic Engineer He got 1 Propoganda
Ah he did!?! I missed it.
I love that card. I cannot even count the number of decks I have put it in over the years.
Edwin the Magic Engineer
1. He did get a propaganda.
2. It isn’t entirely out of the realm to get no petals because there’s gotta be at least 100 commons in this set.
3. Scroll racks are like 30, and that itself is the value of a bit more than one earthcraft. The third scroll racks makes up for no time warp.
4. The bigger deal is no wasteland :/
Edwin the Magic Engineer it is solid considering it is such a unique effect for blue. Definitely deserves more love
I remember back in the day when this set came out opening my first starter and getting a Time Warp inside and thinking it was so cool. I used to have this full set just from cracking packs (along with Mirage, Weatherlight, Visions, and the Urza's block). Man it has been a long time.
That scream when you passed Endless Scream was gold. Didnt expect that at all.
Wow!! My favorite part is when you pulled that lotus petal!! Nice!!!!
That fresh pack smell of old Magic cards was the best thing ever.
Man, the art in this set was so beautiful, and a little quirky, but one of my favorites.
i love your humor buddy! i just found your YT and i am giggeling within the first seconds of ecery video. Greetings from germany friend
Thanks Rudy for bringing back memories
Ahh the memories! I stopped playing around this block. Started back in revised and sold all my cards when I stopped. Dammit.
Stacks of boxes are what warp the cards vertically FYI. The weight of the boxes are crushing the cards.
I played 4th edition to alliances, then came back at mirage for a while, then came back at innistrad when I was like 29 years old. Now I play arena sometimes. I wish I kept my old cards.... who knows where those boxes are. So much revised - mirage cards just sitting somewhere.
Looking at those lands made me feel super nostalgic
Where are the blue gloves man? Gotta drive to OpenBoosters' house next time and borrow them. Otherwise great video as always Rudy, thanks for the content and keep up the good work :)

Lackey Sligh. First turn Goblin Lackey, 2nd turn Goblin Mutant 5/3 lol
It was so fast, it crushed the slower combo deck 80% of the people were playing at the time, squirrel prison.
Too bad I lost in the top 4, cus 2 spots qualified for Pro Tour ...
I had so much potential at age 16....WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED hahaha
My favorite series.. I dominated MTG comps with nothing but tempest and mirage for years..
I remember Tempest and I remember it being so so when I cracked packs. This reinforces why I should be buying singles and not cracking pricey sealed...
Well just ordered one from you, can't wait to take myself to hose town. But boy will it be worth it.
Thumbs up for that hilarious intro! Well done!!!
Bought one of these off a guy from offerup for 15$ had lotus petal and a few other rares in there, feeling more grateful now.
Hello Rudy I just realized I've bought cards from you awhile ago without realizing it was you my mind is blown
Loved the Rath cycle...by far my favorite.
Found an unopened Tempest box set today at my cousin's (he passed away some years ago)
I didn't even know he played magic until today :(
I remember back in the day snagging a cursed scroll for a force of Nature, and feeling bad about it as the kid ran away happy with his 8/8 green creature.
Weird. I remember tempest block tournments. Everybody used to put a petal in the deck.
Nice rares thou
You remember when your opponent played Intuition?
He would picked out 3 copies of the same card and start to put one in his hand....
And youd be like HEY! I STILL GET TO PICK WHICH ONE, haha. Good Times
God, I wanna smell those cards. If you opened these back in the day you know what im sayin. This video made me almost cry.
Tempest block had such a story, right in the cards itself, so cool. And the set is amazing itself, i miss my rootwalla deck. So cool.
Red burn with scrolls was so dominate, oh you take 4 damage i have one card Haha.
Tempest is still my favorite set. It was the one that I learned on and i still roll with shadow creatures and cursed scroll
I miss these. I remember opening them from Ravnica.
I loved Tempest so much. I'd like to go back too.
last set i played of MTG, great to see all these cards...thanks!
I remember how excited I was when I heard they were doing Lotus petal. Good times.
3:45
Never thought I would watch someone getting off to smelling Magic cards.
I got half a boner when he did that.
@@phyxion123 we like to call that a half chub
I smell cards to glad im not alone^^
Call 911, I think you're having a stroke.
the old cards had a smell to em that the new ones do not
Oh my god. And this is the guy who is THE professional.
My gosh, I can't imagine how amazing the room must smell after cracking all these old starters 😌😌😌
Lots of people commenting on the discrepancy between the value of the singles vs the price of the box.
Lots of people failing to realize there is a world of difference between “NM” copies of cards like Aluren, Scroll Rack, and Ancient Tomb...and pack fresh versions of the same.
o_o it's funny my friend's deck. Which i currently have, contains the Commander. which he likes the most. ... But then there's a Volrath's stronghold in the same deck.
I just subscribed not to long ago I love this guy ♡♡♡♡♡
"Getting pounded in the common slot..." #giggidy
I love the basic land art from Tempest.
Ok, as someone following Rudy because he is so entertaining and to learn some few things even if i don't play magic, how are new players supposed to enter magic when there are prices like that ?
Ahh... Nostalgia. My first Magic: the gathering cards.
At a fair I used to help out with as a kid one of the vendors would sell old magic cards(this was around 1999 to 2002), and he would sell these starters for like $13, gave me like 4 for helping him out with some stuff and I regret not realizing how expensive they were cause I gave them to friends at school for free.
now these cards are spiking to crazy levels. hoping bruce kept some of those cards
I love ya Rudy but you got you're off a bit on your value assumptions and why boosters were worth more than starters. Boosters have 11 commons per pack, for a total of 396 in a box. The starters only have 26, for a total of 312. With 110 commons in the set, those 84 extra chances for a Lotus Petal average out to about an extra Petal per box.

Tempest was my first mtg pack i bought back in the day.
Depressing I remember buying these when they came out. Love how you choked when you made that noise. More of that please.
Of course booster packs are more random than starter decks. As of this point in the game, WotC did not allow repeats of the same card within the same individual pack. That means that you are more likely to get duplicates in a random assortment of booster packs than a random assortment of starter decks.
We got a Lotus Petal and Ancient Tomb in ours!
What memories...I remember people throwing away ancient tombs. It used to be thought of as such a garbage card. Funny how magic evolves.
1000 dollar box, the stores are laughing while the player base is bleeding dead.
noujaadw the weirder one is exodus for 1k
turn2stormcrow sad story, id love to play legacy yet my wallet says no
Get a job.
In the rule book, there’s this little Easter egg if you look up ornithopter in the glossary.
Oh shit! You found out about reanimate... Now we all know I comment during the video, not after :)
Ouch, that was hard to watch. Talk about getting taken to pound town.
Rudy’s opening remarks were oddly prescient! Never has a journey through hosetown been so entertaining🤣
Title should've said "$20/$30/$40 UNCOMMONS + $8.00 Commons, but not in this box"
Rudy that happened to me alot with the tempest starter boxes that s why I stuck to buying booster boxes
Love the videos Rudy. :)
Hey Rudy, what do you do with the empty boxes?
the greed sensor was on full alert this time.
Rudy, you need to add a sound effect just once when you throw a box. Smashing glass or something
Yeah cursed scroll is banned in its block. Used to always like a multiplayer deck I had with nature's revolt, spidersilk armor, and evincar's justice. All lands are 2/2s, except mine which are 2/3s and they all take 2 damage.
That's just criminal, such bad packs. I'd cry. I opened plenty of Lotus Petals, Reanimates and Wastelands back in the days... (never got Ancient Tombs sadly)
Tempest = fav set of all time...except for that pegasus refuge. But yeah..dude got hosed.
I'd love to buy this one day....
The basic lands are super nice
Funny that this video is up on the TH-cam mobile app first over the desktop
I love the Tempest Plains.
Bruce, that's a great name 👍
DESCRIBE THE SMELL
Oh man, love the slivers.
Rudy, I hate the fact that you struggled with the inner pull line when there was a clean point where it starts :( e.g. in 15:40 you accidentally hit the right spot but still struggle with the wrong point :(
Rudy more hour long box openings plz!
