This video just popped up in my feed, and when Rudy said "we'll never see a return to kamigawa ever" I thought he was being ironic, not realizing this was released over 4 years ago.
Came to say the same xD
Anyone watching this in 2020 during quarantine? This was recommended to me
seeing he pulled the 60 dollar oboro and tossed it in the rare pile -_-
its me, 8 months later, still in quarantine
Kamigawa will always be my favorite block. The story was amazing and the cards were very unique. Dont care what the masses say there will always be a soft spot.
I just pre-released
Rduy is actually doing a line of coke when he smells the cards, he just wants you to think he's smelling the cards.
I mean he is in Florida lol
He crushes up mdma and flakka and coke then makes pills and sniffs those
@@sullysosavage365 flakka coke and mdma
Nice to see the peak of Magic artwork, before they all started looking like screen-shots from a video game.
On point man
That is so true
I just started playing Magic like 4 months ago, and am enjoying it so far. Being born as a half Japanese/American, I love the Japanese theme, and the art style.
american is not a race its a nationality. people need to stop using the word american as being white or black. and yes I am assuming that is what you meant
You are correct, American is not a race. In Japan, they dont call you white, they call you American. I live and work in Japan, so it just slipped. My bad.
okay I understand a bit then. The only reason why this triggered me is because I work and live in South Korea and if I try to tell some people I am american (My ethnicity is like 75% asian ancestry and 25% white ancestry but I look more asian) then they won't believe me or look at me weird because the perception is that Americans can only be of only white or maybe black ethnicities
@@j.g5542 I love Bok choi and still i am a Taco face race !
Actually Rudy, Sakura-Tribe Scout is not only a pretty good card, but due to it's play in recent Amulet Titan decks in modern you can sell them for 2 bucks-a-piece. Also on the financial side of things, that box was pretty flippin' great!
I'm running them in a mono green list with tracker, Excavator, Courser ect
At 396 C a box and 55 commons (and not yet any land on the C sheet, afaict) you should get about 7 of each common, give or take the variance. Variance on commons is gonna even out pretty quickly at the booster box level already. 55R, 55U, 55C, sounds very much like they were using factories outside Belgium at the time that were not capable of 121 card sheets, only 110 card sheets.
These days the sheets for rares at least pretty much universally work out to 121 (15 R1 mythics and 57 R2 rares), so the factories outside Belgium must have been upgraded. That, or they’re printing all the rares in Belgium and only using the overseas plants for U and C?
kamigawa block + ravnica block = golden age of mtg
my sweet summer child
Thank you Rudy, I love Kamigawa
I've been begging wizards for years for a return
That's what I used to think but as far as lore goes the story of the block had a pretty definitive ending and at least as I am concerned I would prefer it to stay that way rather than having the ubiquitous Super Friends come to an interesting place and taking centerstage with their forgettable blandness; and as far as the game itself is related I don't trust them enough to think they will fix what did not worked the first time while at the same time keeping the good and unique aspects that it had, not unless Dr. Garfield is involved in the design which only happens every few years.
Love Kamigawa too. What you say here is definitely true, I'd also like a return on Kamigawa, but not with the Gatewatch/Bolas story which I hope will soon come to an end. An Umezawa's return on their original plane could be interesting.
Knowing wizards they will find a way to ruin that block as well.
Not while Rosewater is in charge.
Rok mare mtg.gamepedia.com/Rabiah_Scale#cite_note-OrigRabiahPost-3 1-10 (1 most likely to return, 10 not a chance in hell) it's a 8 and that make me sad.
Kamigawa block was one of my favorite blocks in MtG. I actually made decks AND sets with all the boxes I bought. I also loved the original Ravnica block
Love OG Theros. Also here we are in 2022 returning to Kamigawa, incredible.
Man this was one of the coolest blocks from my childhood.
Same here, I started around this time.
Currently have a 5 colour Kamigama spirits EDH deck.
In just starting magic my first set is dominaria
Valkyrie sprites 420 gtx congrats welcome to the game :)
The Kamigawa block sucked compared to Mirrodin and Onslaught. At least if you were playing Type 2. Cool art though.
This block came out, what? A few years ago?
The art is by far what I miss the most, thank you for showing this!
that old school foiling is beautiful, I have a foil simic basilisk I found in my collection and the foiling on each of the eyes and the head just looks fantastic. I compared it to some Dominaria foils I got, makes them look terrible.
I loved the Kamigawa block (it still stands as my favorite block), I bought the 75 card tournament packs (which I still have 4 of).
Loving the video Rudy!
my all time favorite block, the kamigawa series, where great artwork, tribes, and storytelling goes hand and hand :) ty rudy for this box opening
Kamigawa was always my favorite, it was the first block I bought when I started playing and it was the first novels I read when I got into the lore. Nostalgic favorite, but still I always enjoyed it!
Just found this channel and i have to tell ihave collected the whole Kamigawa Block with each card 4 times, i was so crazy for it i could not sleep well until i had all the cards i needed, bought full boxes on a weekly base.
The kamigawa set is my absolute favorite of all of them
Kamigawa cycle: simply the best artworks in 30 years of MTG.
The artworks in this set were awesome. Artworks today don't look the same anymore as it used to. Card quality is really nice, better than today's card quality......
this is a huge flashback. this set and the splice onto arcane mechanic was when i first came back to magic
Rudy just gave his age up. This puts him somewhere from 32 to 35. I'm shoot for 33, just cause Rudy has got that born in 85 vibe.
I yelled "BUSHIDO BLADE!" just as you said it, Rudy! 90's kids unite.
I first got into Magic with this set. It’s still my favorite, although AFR is a close second. I can’t wait for the new Kamigawa to drop.
“This has been a good box opening so far”...the most common statement before a box opening dies
Man, that flip card is even weirder than most of them because it goes from a creature to an enchantment.
The art is AMAZING to me! All of these cards look awesome! I kind of really hope we do end up revisiting Kamigawa. I remember being a kid and seeing the boosters at Walmart, thinking they looked really cool. It was just a little before I started collecting.
I love legends, stronghold, and Mirrodon. The good old days. Miss them.
Kamigawa is my nostalgia block. Really got into magic around that time. The books for it were also my favorite, with a great cast and a pretty cool storyline. It really is a shame they totally overcosted basically everything in the block.
Been waiting for one of these. Man. Love Kamigawa block. Got in just as Champions came out. Played all the major archetypes of the sets. Had so much fun with it. Great stuff.
I'm still hoping for a Return to Kamigawa set. I know, wishful thinking, but my nostalgia demands it.
Sutekh94 i want to visit murganda, but know it's a pipe dream
I think it would do so much better nowadays.
They're doing an innistrad revival so I could see it at some point, it's to good a theme to ignore and they only need some minor enhanced mechanics and support to make this set a hit, I say split the mechanics off between ninjas and samurai a bit but also have a bit of good intermingling (exp. Tree folk/fungus) between the two that can work synergistically given the proper card effects but also take more of a dive into japanese mythology
@@s.i.rjewel828 that would be ideal!
You got your wish
I really want those X-Men Fleer boxes :)
Great artwork in this set. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this opened on TH-cam before! Fave would have to be the Gnat Miser. Who’d argue with a rat shaman?!
I have have nothing but love for this block. I loved the lore, the artwork and the mechanics. 10/10
I think I still have the prerelease cards from that block. It came right after arcbound/disciple of the vault combo and maybe some mindslaver shenanigans. Two moments I remember from the prerelease's... Guy fogged me out using akki coalflinger to fog my normal damage step, played wrong and judge ruled wrong. Next having Meloku, Clouded Mirror and opponent does too, yet his made 2/2's while mine made 1/1's lmao play cards as they read, even if know it's a misprint, was ruling by judge on that one. Good times
I picked up a lot of magic cards from a friend. I traded him some video games for over 6,000+ cards. There weren't many rares but I got 90 foils which one was a $25 lava spike, Kiri-Onna, throat slitter and lots of cards from kamigawa block and original mirrodin block. I have 35 of that Sakura-Tribe Scout that are at about $3 each on tcgplayer. Also 2 Thran Dynamos from urza.
I loved the Kamigawa block! Betrayers was the set that I really got into Magic. The Nezumi are still my favorite race in Magic!
I don’t play magic but like youre video’s and appreciate the artwork of the cards.
You just took me back to my college years. I was a super weeb back in the day and LOVED this block.
I really liked Kamigawa because they tried something different. Also really liked the art.
I really love watching the unboxing of sets like this because I don't have 200$ to drop on a booster box. It's really cool.
With the mention of Bushido Blade, my respect for Rudy just skyrocketed.
I started playing MTG with Mirrodin back then and I really like the Kamigawa Block a lot! In this time I was totally into Anime (Detective Conan, One Piece and Dragonball) and this set has fit perfectly. I also read the lore books and I liked them a lot.
I always love the asmr rudy throws in when he smells the card
People hate Kamigawa ONLY because it followed Mirrodin. It was a low power set following a steroided juggernaut. Considering the popularity and overlap of anime fans with mtg playerbase and the popularity of Tamiyo(her home plane) I think we’ll return pretty soon tbh.
Ms. Sysbit steroided juggy ahahah funny.
As long as Mark Rosewater is in charge we won't return. He seems to think they can't return to this set and make it work.
Jizz in my pants
Think we'll still get a Kamigawa set in the future?
I really liked the ninjutsu mechanic. Boshido was fun. This set when it came out wasn't exactly the best but at the time the price for a box was low (so it sucked) which allowed us to draft the crap out of it. Super fun for drafting.
WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO BACK BACK BACK BACK
I loved this damn block. The artwork was so badass and the cards were fun to play. I thought I read that these sets were getting a remaster
those X-men cards hit me right in the childhood
I would love a revisit as long as the power level would be closer to what it is now. I also think there is a bigger acceptance and understanding of eastern culture now.
I started and played mostly during Kamingawa.. Even read the damned books, of all things. Good times. Would love to go back to it.
Hi Rudy... so it seems we're going back to kamigawa
Giving you a like just from the Bushido Blade reference near the end.
I was living in Asia at the time of this sets release. I drafted it in Chinese. Loved Ninja decks. Ornithopter was in the set and shuriken. You’ll never love a deck as much that wants to attack with ornithopters.
i love these chinapeople
btw, thanks ben you crazy lad. kamigawa was my favourite block and i dont have the money to spend so much on a box. this took me back to a time where everything was nice and easy. loved that opening.
This is one of my favorite sets personaly. I had such a wicked snake tribal deck from the kamigawa block. Oh how I miss that deck.
It will never happen...many moons later. "I was wrong"
Kamigawa is my fave set Rudy thanks m8, I made my crazy ass spirit deck because of it
It feels really nostalgic. One of my favorite sets back then.
Kamigawa's cards are so unique in their design, and its the set I was first introduced to as a kid.
It will always be the best block.
Those where the times....of stores, friendship and tournaments!
its funny watching this in 2022 and seeing the sakura tribe scout is a $3 common now lol.
Thanks for taking us back Rudy :)
People just didn't connect to it, I don't think they will ever return to Kamigawa. Roll on 2022 ROFLMAO :)
Those Marvel comic boxes look incredible!
Marvel sucks
Watching this in 2022 and laughing on Rudy constantly saying we will never go back to Kamigawa.
Am i the only one that almost screamed with the foil Kagemaro because i remember the values of this card when Kamigawa was "Type 2" ?
I remebrr
Actuqlly I like the theros beyond death set. I love the card art the extended art cards. A set doesnt have to come with a big price tag for me to like it. Midrodin and darksteel are up there on my list too!!
“If she looked like me, no one would care.” -2018 Rudy, from Alphainvestments
Adjusting the light was the right move, Rudy.
Kamigawa is my favourite block. No lie
Fun stuff, Erayo is auto banned in almost every commander group because of it's ridiculously easy to trigger ability, no lie it was one of the first cards on that ban list
Kamigawa has been a topic of demand by fans to MaRo on blogatog. There's definitely a crowd building to return to Kamigawa, and seeing that lore-wise we could be approaching the end of Ravnica, I don't see why we couldn't go back to Kamigawa as a filler arc.
That artwork is amazing...miss it
A few good ones, great quality, but most of that block was garbage sandwiched between 2 of the most iconic and historic blocks of all time.
All of kamigawa was my favorite... i wish it had been more popular and would have a chance at remaster :(
i loved this block it made spirits a favored tribe of mine
Why a hated time!!!! I know the history of standard and extended, but the cards were so badass! I missed out as a kid when this dropped.
I started with Betrayers and I loved Kamigawa, when standard was KAM/RAV. Kamigawa had some issues, those flip cards as an early attempt at two cards in one weren't a winner and there were few stand-out great cards. However, Kamigawa block's greatest sin was Mirrodin. Kamigawa had nothing that could deal with Affinity and because of that and because WotC took way too long to ban Affinity, standard sucked for the first half of Kami's standard rotation. KAM/RAV was sooo fucking good though.
Coming after the Mirrodin block wasn't easy, because it was such a revolution to have games filled with artefacts all of a sudden; and it was a very powerfull block overall. Kamigawa failed to produce T2 decks as powerfull as Mirrodin, and it was globally sulked by players.
People didnt dislike it because of its theme and such, they largely disliked it (As far as the groups I was around were concerned at least.) because it was somewhat resetting the power level after Mirrodin blew everything to hell.
It was... so-so as a set, but Invasion, Odyssey, and Onslaught had been raising the bar, Mirrodin snapped the bar in half and set it on fire, then Kamigawa came off as an attempt to fashion a new bar going forward and was pretty forgettable as a result.
I could understand someone coming in to Magic liking it a lot more, or someone just plucking it out of history to look through, but if youd been playing through set to set at the time it really was a bit... 'Meh'.
Never going back he says and look now 2022 we are headed back.
Bushido Blade 2 was where it was at. Amazing game from Squeenix.
How can we buy boxes??? I want a couple boxes of xmen!
Hahahhahaa the lighting is so funny! Its just hilarious.
Man I used to love those old marvel cards!!! I gotta have so much of that shit packed away in the attic somewhere. Used to love the foils and all the weird inserts!
I remember how bad Kamigawa block was. The mechanics and artwork were good but the rest was bad. I think they made the casting cost of everything so high because the previous block's costs were so low and the pace of the game was really fast. I'll never forget how disappointed I was when I bought a box of Kamigawa and looking at how high the costs were. The only good memory of the set was that I taught three friends how to play and draft from this block and the high costs made it a good tempo for them to learn how to play.
ive been watching you open boxes for like the past 24 hours and then you post another... good...
hat tribal is a solid comander archetype rudy. Same as a few other random objects tribals
I technically started playing Magic in original Mirrodin, but I only started loving Magic during Champions of Kamigawa.
Kamigawa was when I first came in to the game and I still really like the set. It unfortunatly came out between original mirrodin and original ravnica. Still a fun set.
If I'm remembering right, when Saviors came out I was driving 40-80 miles to play LotR tcg. Davis or Berkeley on alternating Sundays, Redwood City on Monday nights. Had really stopped caring about being competitive, even at the FNM level, while Odyssey was still newish and had basically cashed out for Decipher games. Still had a janky zubera deck just in case ;)
Moral of the short story is you always have some sort of deck for those times you get the itch and wish I still had the collection for Rudy to fondle. Nothing too exciting at the time, mostly nostalgia from 4th to Apocalypse.
i think this is the set that i spend a lot of money buying booster pack just to get pithing needle or twincast.thats two of the most expensive card at that time
i ate at burger king today and i had chicken nuggets, fries, coke and garlic sauce
The eternal boomer strikes back.
kinda regional, but they are disappearing from California if not already gone :(
IcKY what are you talking about I work at a Burger King in the Bay Area and know of many more in the area.
I was actually talking about Long John Silvers LMAO BK is everywhere
Oh yeah Long John Silvers are rare but there a few. They've always been rare though.
Never gonna happen. Wise words. I will buy everything from the 2022 Kamigawa set. They are so epic.
Bushido Blade is still great ! When Square had that FF7 money and they made awesome niche titles - Einhander is another that comes to mind. Maybe a lil Brave Fencer Musashi on the side??? Enix's competition made Square(and themselves) a better company. Then they became Squenix...
This is the era I stopped playing (just recently got back in). I didn't hate it - but everyone I knew stopped playing, so I stopped, too, since I didn't have any friends into it anymore.
Open that Fleer Ultra X-Men '95 box Rudy!!!
