I watch Desolator rant about investors and how they don't enjoy the game and they're evil people, and then the next suggested video that auto-plays is an investor opening a $500 box of cards and jizzing himself every pack. Interesting community we live in.
Giles Chenery all he ever does is bitch in the videos I've watched. and contradict himself. one time he was bitching because he said an upcoming set would have zero value, nobody would want it, then in the same sentence also complained about how expensive the good cards are.
Rudy, I want to say that what makes your content so enjoyable to watch is how passionate you are about it. Your genuine excitement gets someone who has never touched a magic card in their life genuinely excited too. Your knowledge of your passion shows through in every video you make. Keep up the awesome work.
Still remember like it was yesterday. Pulled a priceless treasure in my second box. Unlimited mox emerald. What a box that was, also pulled foil misty rainforest.
HOLY COW!! Best booster box opening ever for Zendikar. I am JEALOUS you have so many boxes. I can't get my hands on one! Way out of my price range right this second for my youtube channel.
I was under the impression that the only way to ensure that the packs were first printing was if they were from a fat pack. The A in the serial number just denotes it as the first set in the block. (All Zen boxes were labeled A, all WWK were B, and all RoE were C). The first print run was almost certainly used up during Zendikar prereleases aside from fat packs.
brings back memories of when I opened a box when the set was new and didn't get a single fetch in the whole box and no good rares....I literally took just the lands and left all the commons, uncommons, and rares on the table at the shop...and promptly quit magic for a few years
I remember Zendikar so well. It was the only time when I though buying a pack of these (when they were in print) was a no brainer. Nearly all were worth more than retail price pack. They soon dried up.
Checked prices on tcgplayer @ 10PM EST (GMT-5) March 1. Just looking at the rares, mythics, foils, and full art lands i count at least $330. Those fetches went a long way despite price drops from being reprinted.
Am I stupid or did he go right past another double land at 9:21? Awesome box. I love these videos because of how excited he gets lol. I'm still new to this whole thing I barely know a damn thing about this game hahahaah. Just so fun to watch these.
rudy you are forgetting all the value in the COMMONS from zendikar: disfigure, vines of vastwood, journey to nowhere, spell pierce, etc. those are ALL 1/1,5 dollars commons! spell pierce is even higher
got a goblin guide, bloodghast, arid mesa, marsh flats, misty rainforest and scalding tarn in my zendikar box, and did I mention I also got a FOIL tarn! it was stacked : )
Ye pretty much. As long as Magic keeps growing and expanding as a game while also getting ex-players to return or come back, the value of all reprints will drop dramatically on release but over time (2-3 years) prices will creep up as long as the cards in question are still being used.
Yeah everyone saying that Timmy ot screwed cause of the reprints? Uh definitely not.. all that matters is that simple on the right my friends. That's ALL THAT MATTERS.
Concerning the shrinkwrap, the reason why the WotC logos are not on the bottom half of the box is because the wrapper is loaded with two rolls of plastic. One roll is pre-stamped with the logos while the other is plain clear plastic. They load the top rack with the logoed roll and the bottom with the plain. There appears to be no reason to split in this way as it would seem appropriate to wrap the entire box 'officially' to help prevent tampering...though with my personal experience, I am sure cost plays into it as specialty wrap is likely a hell of a lot more expensive than the standard. Pinching pennies, I'd guess.
so much memory, i left mtg after eldrazi and my last deck was Bant exalted :D won few tournaments with it ^^ i remember buying fetchlands for about 10$? This was my deck: Creatures (28) 4 Birds of Paradise 4 Noble Hierarch 4 Lotus Cobra 4 Knight of the Reliquary 4 Dauntless Escort 4 Baneslayer Angel 4 Sovereigns of Lost Alara Spells (7) 1 Elspeth, Knight-Errant 3 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 1 Gideon Jura 2 Eldrazi Conscription Lands (25) 2 Verdant Catacombs 4 Forest 1 Arid Mesa 2 Plains 2 Island 1 Sejiri Steppe 2 Stirring Wildwood 2 Sunpetal Grove 3 Celestial Colonnade 1 Glacial Fortress 4 Misty Rainforest 1 Tectonic Edge Sideboard (15) 2 Rhox War Monk 4 Kor Firewalker 2 Qasali Pridemage 4 Negate 1 Deprive 2 Oblivion Ring
Rudy, if you're not allowed to ship sealed product, can't you just break the seal of the box/packs and then send it like a normal box once it's no longer sealed? just wondering
I told my girlfriend today that it is still all about the FETCH. Now I'm single.
Snyggabyxor it was worth it.
Called it on the MM3 vid and everybody laughed... its STILL all about the fetch baby! also, RIP gf
Me too! Got laughed off my forum. Now I'm laughing. :)
She was probably like, stop trying to make fetch happen, it's not going to happen.
You spell'ed FELCH wrong
I've never played Magic, but always appreciated the artwork on these older cards, seriously good stuff.
*Rudy Pulls a Fetch*
"oh man, they don't make S*** like this anymore!!!"
.....Well this is awkward....
LOL

Desolator made some pretty good content but he seems to mainly just whine now
Giles Chenery all he ever does is bitch in the videos I've watched. and contradict himself. one time he was bitching because he said an upcoming set would have zero value, nobody would want it, then in the same sentence also complained about how expensive the good cards are.
At least he's smart enough to know whining makes him relevant. Are you guys seriously stupid enough to think he actually believes everything he says?
he followers definitely does.
SparTadepT well deselator magic is just a complete idiot

It's a green screen, Timmy actually went to Hosetown.
Still remember like it was yesterday. Pulled a priceless treasure in my second box. Unlimited mox emerald. What a box that was, also pulled foil misty rainforest.
The reminder text on Obsidian Fireheart gets me every time.
(That land continues to burn after Obsidian Fireheart leaves the battlefeild)
So unique
i never played back then but its exciting seeing someone open such an expensive box, looks like a beautiful set
HOLY COW!! Best booster box opening ever for Zendikar. I am JEALOUS you have so many boxes. I can't get my hands on one! Way out of my price range right this second for my youtube channel.
What a huge box! That was really fun to watch,thanks rudy to let us see some of your magic boxes :D
LOL and they reprint old artwork fetches on the same day. Timmy got taken to pound town
Ha ha, too true indeed!
I love it though! This is what it's all about! One minute you're on top of the world, and everything can change in the next moment.
True dat BIGorHOMELESS!
I don't know shit about magic and I have no clue what's going on but I'm still hyped! \o/
Had to explain Rudy's sexual noises while opening the box bc someone walked in
oh i thought the same lol
Just flip to porn, it's easier to explain lol.
zach ramsey underrated comment
This is hands down the best green screen unboxing I've ever seen!
WHAT?! No Hedron Crab? Box bust. 2/10 would not bang
agreed, no Best Crab? Rigged!
Rudy = Pure Entertainment!
We would pay to watch you if we had to.
dude.....I don't play card games but your channel is hilarious I could watch this all day
theres also alot of commons worth a little cash, spreading seas, expedition map, spell pierce, and maybe a few more
Love it! I seem to remember getting a ton of fetches per box of Zendikar back in the day too
I don't normally watch you Rudy but I did enjoy all the difficult to open packs of MERLfolks. :)
Just became a patron, I lost about everything when I saw this. Getting hyped for whats in store next month!

I really enjoyed this video Rudy. You're a trip to watch. Peace for Georgia.
I dont even play or collect magic but cant stop watching your videos lol

I saw the Scalding Tarn and thought "Well if Rudy didn't do inappropriate stuff before, he should probably pause to do it now."
Checked prices on tcgplayer @ 10PM EST (GMT-5) March 1. Just looking at the rares, mythics, foils, and full art lands i count at least $330. Those fetches went a long way despite price drops from being reprinted.
that feel when there was at least $150 in non foil commons.
I love how you have booster boxes all over your floor.
Very jelly.. that i live in the UK.. would sooo love a box!! IN LOVE!! with magic! xD
Am I stupid or did he go right past another double land at 9:21? Awesome box. I love these videos because of how excited he gets lol. I'm still new to this whole thing I barely know a damn thing about this game hahahaah. Just so fun to watch these.
Seeing the Misty reminded me I need to go find mine
your openings are the best! its like open them by my self
rudy you are forgetting all the value in the COMMONS from zendikar: disfigure, vines of vastwood, journey to nowhere, spell pierce, etc. those are ALL 1/1,5 dollars commons! spell pierce is even higher
Disfigure is 100% irrelevant since fatal push was printed.
shreder89 hell even the goblin bushwhackers
Spreading seas is a few dollars a piece
If I were Rudy and I opened a lotus I would scrap the video and start over with a different box lmao
Foil full-art lands weren't guaranteed one per box. Back when it first came out I opened easily 10 boxes and pulled 2 foil lands.
got a goblin guide, bloodghast, arid mesa, marsh flats, misty rainforest and scalding tarn in my zendikar box, and did I mention I also got a FOIL tarn! it was stacked : )
Those original full art lands are just amazing
I remember cracking 2 boxes of these on launch. Classic
Rudy is inventing the prank booster box genre :P
This was really cool to watch as someone new to the mtg community
I'm just here to laugh at the people who think the fetches being reprinted means they will lose value instead of gaining MORE value in the long run.
Ye pretty much. As long as Magic keeps growing and expanding as a game while also getting ex-players to return or come back, the value of all reprints will drop dramatically on release but over time (2-3 years) prices will creep up as long as the cards in question are still being used.
Yeah everyone saying that Timmy ot screwed cause of the reprints? Uh definitely not.. all that matters is that simple on the right my friends. That's ALL THAT MATTERS.
I love the forests in this set other than original Ravenica this set has my favorite forests and islands the arts are so good
You're amazing men. All about the fetch all the way down. Greetings from Argentina.
Concerning the shrinkwrap, the reason why the WotC logos are not on the bottom half of the box is because the wrapper is loaded with two rolls of plastic. One roll is pre-stamped with the logos while the other is plain clear plastic. They load the top rack with the logoed roll and the bottom with the plain.

It's all about the fetch, about the fetch, about the fetch - no Timmies.
Daaaaaaaamn son, right out of the fucking gate!
Man, it sure was nice when WotC made cool sets. They were on a hell of a roll back around this time.
Legend says Rudy's trousers felt like cardboard after this box opening. The art in this set is amazing, £450 a box though ouch...
This video fits right in with the spoiled cards today! awesome :D
16:12
Proceeds to rip pack in half...
Alpha Investments: Keeps talking about what he pulled.
I quit playing after this set, and ran a Vallakut deck. I miss it so much now. My decks are also probably worth bank.
Glad I get to watch this before TH-cam takes it down for um.. inappropriate content... and things
doing us proud, Timmy.
Rudy 5000. Only a robot could pull that perfection off.
Rudy finally mastered the greenscreen I see.
He still kinda got taken to hose town, thanks to the Goblin Guide and Fetch Reprints.
If you still have the box, how many spell pierces did you open? It's so much value!
I was laughing so hard through the series of fetches you hit haha
big fan love your videos planning on becoming a patron myself within the week
Your video makes me feel like I have a magic dad
Looking back at this video, 3 fetches on the same box is fucking AMAZING
you're a monster Rudy.
my metal gear is solid.
I'm ready to watch this.
lotus Cobra foil first pack? I can't fly half a ship for the rest of this box opening.
5 packs in made value almost. I'd have stoppef haha. great pulls!
"Double rares? What the fuck wizards of the Co- Ooooooo just look at that art" I love you Rudy xD
It's not often rudy drops the F bomb. In fact I cannot remember the last time it happened. But it was foil cobra after all :D
Drinking game: take a shot everytime Rudy mentions how hard it is to open packs
I should buy a box of zendicar, oh wait im not rich nevermind.
I love these videos, mostly the : "Oh my gad..." "wooow"
So many of these cards where in my first magic deck so many memory's
Timmy is on his way to the ivory tower, looking down at pound town from his private jet's window.
Timmy's gotta catch a break sometime. After hauling all those boxes around for you, you better give him a damn epic box.
Omg what a day to open this box! 😂😂
What do you think will be the price of Arid Mesa when MM17 comes out? I need to pick some up for my Modern deck.
What about the fetches in modern masters 2017? And Damnation!
Rudy, long time watcher first time poster. Can I please beg you to crack more Zendikar? Pretty please with stuff on top?

Rudy, if you're not allowed to ship sealed product, can't you just break the seal of the box/packs and then send it like a normal box once it's no longer sealed? just wondering
Man, that was one crazy box.
I mean, _two_ Turntimber Rangers? Talk about value, am I right?!
Just picked up a booster box 1st run for $1100. No problem sitting on it. 🙂🤙
Although the fetches are getting reprinted, that box was waaaay better than any box I seen now a days
i wish that you could like videos more than once cuz multiple things happen throughout Rudy's vids and i go to like it but i already have lmfao
Rudy for president 2020
When Timmy strikes back
Holy Guacamole, what a way to start a box!
dude congrats to Timmy!! sweet box
How coincidental that zen fetches are in MM17
I think not at all, Rudy has info as always lol
yes they are all reprinted, also why would they just print a couple ? lands always comes in cycle of 5.
you can google mm2017 spoilers btw
Devilyn Larend who are you talking to?
to someone who deleted their comment saying they didnt reprint all the fetches just a couple.
aaah kay
First pack and you pull my favorite card ever
Thank you Rudy....I LOVE IT!
at what rate did priceless treasures apear? 1 per how many boxes?
could be a black lotus in zendikar?
"EVEN THE WOLF HAS A HELMET ON!"
All those amazing commons he just passes over...
that was crazy start. thanks for posting
No way!!! We actually jinx each other when u open that foil lotus cobra bro and i get a reply and one like for that?
Rudy's making asmr videos now
How much are you sell original box of Zendikar. If so, where online can I go to buy one from you?
Life may be too short to look through commons, but some of these commons are worth over $1
