Well, the first one he turned over was an Elemental Summoning, and he saw the Lesson icon and turned it over and got embarrassed because it wasn't a flip card. So he was saving face after that.
Imagine the Japanese demonic tutor but printed with English characters.. It's the ONLY Japanese art card I like. Rest are meh. I pref English. Good for me price are less. Japanese cards are overhyped.
For those that want to know what's going on with the pulls. There are MDFC cards in the set, Rudy did miss some, just look at the bottom left of the cards. That symbol in the left corner represents a lesson, the subtle foil is "etched" foil for the mystical archives, the rarity on the Japanese is the stamp on the right side of the card. Love you all, keep posting fun videos my dude.
It's Animus Divide here Rudy from my YT gaming/tcg unboxing channel! Thank you so much for this box opening! I've been so hyped for this set and those Japanese Archives are sooo 🔥! You made my b-day sir!
Each collector's pack contains 2 etched foil mystical archives cards. One will be uncommon, the other will be either rare or mythic. One will be English and the other will be Japanese. Each pack also contains a traditional foil mystical archive card. The language will be random, it will always be an uncommon. 48% of packs will contain a traditional foil mystical archive card. The language will be random. It will be either rare or mythical rare. These cards have the highest rarity. Don't be tricked into buying the etched foil rares and mythics thinking they are more rare than the traditional foils.
@@noahcooper6979 Each Japanese regular booster and set booster has 1 random Japanese mythical archive card. I don't know if there are Japanese collector's boosters.

The etched only exist in collector packs. Draft and set boosters have a chance a regular foil and has a guaranteed non foil Mystical Archive. That was a Japanese Tainted Pact you pulled.
@@gachaislyfe31 I know tainted pact had never been reprinted, but tell me where are you getting your pricing because on tcgplayer tutor is more expensive than pact.

Liliana plays the role of Snape too. What I wonder though because they've got license secured for Warhammer 40k cards coming up(NO JOKES), got Toho on board etc so cross promotional content is obviously on WOTC's radar. I'm wondering if they're getting main cards ready, and have their alt art marketing ideas but then like something fell through last minute? There is a card in Ikoria that is DEAD RINGER for a Geralt, The Witcher tie-in alt art, but none exists. (Chevill, Bane of Monsters, now I know I know, Warhammer 2 Total War did a not so subtle character name nod as well, but for a set that had licensed alt-art cards, is not a little weird there is not a Gerald alt art officially of this card UNLESS licensing proved to be an issue?) They make an entire set transparently similar to HP...but maybe Warner Bros backed out last minute or something and they had all the Japanese artists on contract still from Ikoria so pivoted to double down on the Japan edition collectors cards for both their release and NA boxes. I mean...just saying. Anyways. I love Ikoria and Kaldheim, I loved especially how Kaldheim low-key like a Soul's video game taps into the COMPLETE PLOT OF MTG they just kinda left hanging since New Phyrexia, then hear about this set and I just...don't get it...like 2020 MTG tooks five steps forward, then got into sunlight of 2021 out of their cave and panic'd threw up a set belongs like B-role cards of one of the second generation Ravinca block cause afraid power ramp getting too high, or like have impostor syndrome hahahahha That's other thing, beyond being rip of HP like an internal rip off of the Guild Cities stuff...guess the gold etched foils look cool, but ffs a lot those reprints arent valid in standard and I'm sorry but unless its in phyrexian I'm not a big fan on having guaranteed one card in my pack printed in my non-native language, and I'm weeb af but this ish' just embarrassing. Why not just make this entire set be a sequel to Kawigama? and like these are japense style dojo's instead, go with Japanese theme for entire set, but collectible cards printed in Japanese of a harry potter knock off set?

In regards to the rarity upshifts: Any cards that are standard legal in the Archives (Duress, Village Rites, Shock, etc.) are Uncommons, Any cards that are not are Rare/Mythic (Counterspell, Stone Rain, etc.) and this is because of Arena: All but seven cards in the Archives are legal for use in Historic formats.

So yes, Japanese archive cards, and etched foils are ONLY CEs. Mystical archives feel kinda like a list card, which is kinda cool
I realized watching your video that the symbol top left on some cards seems to show that they are lesson cards. :) Rudy helped me learn something new. stay safe everyone and keep spreading the magic
They are slowly molding us so that they can return to Kamigawa sometime in the near future and to prevent a repeat of the consumer perspective from what happened during the original Kamigawa block that was released in 2005-2006. Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive from Dominaria, ninjutsu mechanics re-introduce in MH1, and now JP artwork.
Taco King Rudy, these Collector boxes are Legit. My one collector box, I opened 3, THREE, demonic tutor, one alt art foil leaf, 1 Japanese cold foil, and one full foil alt Japanese art. Not to mention, the Full foil Japanese art Teferi's protection, Faithless looting, dark ritual, and Eliminate. Those are some really pricy items on the current market, TCG.
Rudy the symbol in the top left corner indicates either Modal Double Faced or Lesson, the triangular arrow being the double face symbol. As for the Mystical Archives, you get 1 per pack with a rare 26.4% or mythic 6.6% of the time and you can also get a foil version replacing a common in the foil slot. You can only get the Japanese variants in Collector or Japanese products, and the foil etched only appear in the Collector product.
The circle in the corner is connected to the learn mechanic. All learn cards should in the sideboard so when you cast a card with learn you can bring in a learn card of your choice in from your sideboard into your hand
It looks like the mystical archive cards, in the Draft boosters - are not gold etched. Haven't opened any Set boosters yet, but Collector boosters may be the only place you can find those! @7:40
I'm pretty sure they moved a bunch of stuff to rare/mythic in mystical archives due to MTG: Arena. People have been mentioning they've got an entire collection of all the commons/uncommons but are missing a bunch of the rares/mythics on arena.
@@brokengames9020 The Broken Games Mantra: "I feed the algorithms daily (Of the corporations I claim to hate) So I can read back my copypasta And sob and masturbate."
At 13:16 Rudy discovers the "Rudy the Cat" card, but doesn't know how to read Japanese, so doesn't get it! LOL! And he thought WotC just ignores him all the time!
The situation is pretty much the same as previous expansions : - You can only get regular foils and cards that have a special alternative art in regular draft booster packs. - Japanese cards, 'extended' zoomed in full arts and those etched foils can only be in collector boosters.
11:00 - Rudy casually opens Japanese Swords to Plowshares and doesn't even realize it. And to answer Rudy's question; the Japanese Alternate Art Mystical Archive cards appear in Japanese Draft/Set Boosters at a 50% rate in place of the slot reserved for the Mystical Archive card. They DO NOT appear at all in the English Draft/Set boosters. English Collectors Boosters are the ONLY product USA which contains them. My guess is WoTC saw how successful the Japanese Art WAR planeswalkers were and pushed for more Japanese artist collaborations.
The bottom of all newer cards (including the Japanese cards) have codes for rarity: T : Token L : basic land (including basic snow) C : Common U : Uncommon R : Rare M : Mythic S : Special (used “B : Bonus list” initially but changed to S) P : Promo F : (Only ones I know of are the stand in cards for MDFC. My guess is “Flip” but I don’t know for sure)
Funniest part to me was how Rudy handles a multi million Dollar business and makes deals with big numbers every single day but then struggles with the math on Exponential Growth like no tomorrow haha 9:09
@@brokengames9020 Yeah, it's a fake account trolling as Rudy. We all know this. They spam daily. Kind of like someone else I know... someone Broke n' Salty... 🤔
im assuming theyre printed on an offset press based by the sheets they offer. my employer has the option to print cold foil on offset sheets. i see either a foil knockout on cardstock or metalized c1s cardstock
In draft and set booster you can only have regular english mystical archives, as what I saw so far. Collectors have 3 slots for mystical archives and can have a forth one in the last slot. Also, I think every mystical archives are foil or etched foil in the collector booster. May have to double check this info.
Not bad pulls better then what I got from a set booster box that I got from my LGS I did get 9 mythics that include a Foil Etched Natural Order & Day of Judgement & a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth from the list. The best part is I got it for only $73.00 USD tax included as I had some store credit. At least I came out ahead so thats good.
I would like some stability for a few years. Every set thats released has newer and crazier flashy cards. Just calm it down and have some stability please! Collecting sets has become impossible
6 packs through and Rudy's volatile relationship just took a seat haha. He was impressed by pack 1. You know he feels fresh organizing those piles. Well done, strixhaven. Thanks, Rudy the bear, for not trying to claim on any individual card value. This video was ideally what he said it would be
Japanese alt arts (foil and etched) are only in the collectors boxes. Etched mystical archives are also only in collectors boxes. Draft boosters and set boosters only have regular mystical archives.
Dear Rudy-Bear, I guess a lot of people were saying this before or you figured out by yourself. The foil etching is exclusive for collectors. Set and draft boosters only have the normal versions of the global mystical archives + Chance of full foil version (not jpn style). Japanese style only in japanese boxes and global collectors. The mystical archive cards are seperated in rarety U/R/M. Thats why Stone rain counts as rare. Collectors: always 1 U global + 1 R/M japanese archive OR 1 U japanese + 1 R/M global archive per booster (etched foil) + 1 U global OR japanese full foil in every booster. The last card of booster can be anything R/M > only Chance to get demonic Tutor full foil japanese in non japanese boxes.
The etched foils are only in collectors boosters. Japanese are only in collectors boosters or Japanese packs. Each collectors booster has 4 mystical archives.
The English mystical archives come etched in normal and set boosters as well with a chance to get fully foiled. The Japanese alternate arts are only available in Japanese boxes and the English Collector boxes.
Cracked a couple, full art commander cards are nice. The mystical archives come in edge foil edge and none edge out of the regular draft and set boosters
Rarities are for limited since one is in every draft pack and can be used. Also there is one MA in every set booster. You can only get full foil of the MA cards in set and draft pack though and none will be JA.

Do we even need those extended art box-topper things anymore? The showcase cards from every set now are so beautiful, I find the box-toppers redundant and unnecessary. We have those awesome Mystical Archive and Japanese cards to make a splash.
I only collect Pokémon, and I've watched Rudys Magic openings for years now. I've heard Rudy mention all kinds of chalupas like the Snappies, Demonic Tutors, all kinds of Lava Reacharounds. Usually I have his rambling on in the background, and the cards look okay/cool when I hover over to the screen.......... BUT DAMN THESE ARE BREATHTAKING...! Here I was thinking that Pokémon really stepped up their game with the recent Alternate Arts.... Those Japanese cards... OMG I WANT THEM. (And I know nothing of Magic apart from the very basics hahaha) I always hear Rudy about investing in this, investing in that.. I have no clue, but this is something I'd jump on if I didn't just order an ungodly amount of Pokémon from Japan xD
Rudy missed the back side of every MDFC he pulled..........good job Rudy! We love you!
When he got to Rowan I was yelling at my phone “flip it”
I think multi faced cards are trash
they all suck anyway
Well, the first one he turned over was an Elemental Summoning, and he saw the Lesson icon and turned it over and got embarrassed because it wasn't a flip card. So he was saving face after that.

I agree, if would have been so easy for them to do same art and print it in english. Lazy ass WOTC.
I realized watching your video that the symbol top left on some cards seems to show that they are lesson cards. :) Rudy helped me learn something new. stay safe everyone and keep spreading the magic
They are slowly molding us so that they can return to Kamigawa sometime in the near future and to prevent a repeat of the consumer perspective from what happened during the original Kamigawa block that was released in 2005-2006.

Taco King Rudy, these Collector boxes are Legit. My one collector box, I opened 3, THREE, demonic tutor, one alt art foil leaf, 1 Japanese cold foil, and one full foil alt Japanese art. Not to mention, the Full foil Japanese art Teferi's protection, Faithless looting, dark ritual, and Eliminate. Those are some really pricy items on the current market, TCG.
define cold foil in mtg, please....we'll wait
Rudy the symbol in the top left corner indicates either Modal Double Faced or Lesson, the triangular arrow being the double face symbol. As for the Mystical Archives, you get 1 per pack with a rare 26.4% or mythic 6.6% of the time and you can also get a foil version replacing a common in the foil slot. You can only get the Japanese variants in Collector or Japanese products, and the foil etched only appear in the Collector product.
8:15 Zaffai, Thunder Conductor with Zaffai, Thunder Collector in rules text... just noticed it... is that going to be worth more, or less?
its the same on every card
The circle in the corner is connected to the learn mechanic. All learn cards should in the sideboard so when you cast a card with learn you can bring in a learn card of your choice in from your sideboard into your hand
Also no sideboard in commander so it's just draw 1 and discard I believe, same with if you choose not to search for a card or are not using a card.
It looks like the mystical archive cards, in the Draft boosters - are not gold etched. Haven't opened any Set boosters yet, but Collector boosters may be the only place you can find those! @7:40
I'm always on the toilet when I see these videos... oh well! Awesome !
I'm pretty sure they moved a bunch of stuff to rare/mythic in mystical archives due to MTG: Arena. People have been mentioning they've got an entire collection of all the commons/uncommons but are missing a bunch of the rares/mythics on arena.
Rudy got a foil brainstorm and tainted pact and didn’t even flinch 😂
ooh....collector box....the ultimate in WotC's line of Timmy products.
AKA the only ones that are worth anything to resell.

At 13:16 Rudy discovers the "Rudy the Cat" card, but doesn't know how to read Japanese, so doesn't get it! LOL! And he thought WotC just ignores him all the time!
The situation is pretty much the same as previous expansions :
- You can only get regular foils and cards that have a special alternative art in regular draft booster packs.
- Japanese cards, 'extended' zoomed in full arts and those etched foils can only be in collector boosters.
You can open Japanese art archives in all Japanese language booster boxes.
8:16 lol, wotc didn't fix Zaffai, Thunder Conductor (or Collector, or whatever)...
Rudy is a fantastic actor every new set he knows everything and pretends he doesn't
FINALLY mtg has Japanes ukiyo-e style artwork. FINALLY!
Seriously right!?!?
11:00 - Rudy casually opens Japanese Swords to Plowshares and doesn't even realize it.
And to answer Rudy's question; the Japanese Alternate Art Mystical Archive cards appear in Japanese Draft/Set Boosters at a 50% rate in place of the slot reserved for the Mystical Archive card. They DO NOT appear at all in the English Draft/Set boosters. English Collectors Boosters are the ONLY product USA which contains them.
My guess is WoTC saw how successful the Japanese Art WAR planeswalkers were and pushed for more Japanese artist collaborations.
I like the part where he opens up the japanese tainted pact and doesnt realize it lol
I appreciate Monarch has taken up so much of your time you actually didn't know all the variations...This was enjoyable
The bottom of all newer cards (including the Japanese cards) have codes for rarity:
T : Token
L : basic land (including basic snow)
C : Common
U : Uncommon
R : Rare
M : Mythic
S : Special (used “B : Bonus list” initially but changed to S)
P : Promo
F : (Only ones I know of are the stand in cards for MDFC. My guess is “Flip” but I don’t know for sure)
Funniest part to me was how Rudy handles a multi million Dollar business and makes deals with big numbers every single day but then struggles with the math on Exponential Growth like no tomorrow haha
9:09
What will really matter on those foils is if they do the Pringles Curl like Commander Legends or be really good like Ikoria or the Etched foils...
This is the spice that's been missing for me the past few sets
Love doing box openings! Love watching them as well! LOL!
my god the art on those Japanese cards are stunning
@@brokengames9020 Yeah, it's a fake account trolling as Rudy.
We all know this. They spam daily.
Kind of like someone else I know... someone Broke n' Salty... 🤔
do know anything about magic but man its so much fun watching rudy open these packs and geeking about how cool they are magic is so awesome

Best art and flavor in a decade, feels like a homerun. Even the commons and uncommons are GORGEOUS.
Nah, Kaldheim and Zendikar Rising has much superior artwork
Art is subjective you twats
r s Opinion is subjective. Art is objective. There are right and wrong ways of creating it.
im assuming theyre printed on an offset press based by the sheets they offer. my employer has the option to print cold foil on offset sheets. i see either a foil knockout on cardstock or metalized c1s cardstock
I love to hear you so excited about this set because this will forever be my favorite set!! Next to MH2 ofcourse lol
Rudy, I love the playmat you had in this video where did that one come from?
In draft and set booster you can only have regular english mystical archives, as what I saw so far. Collectors have 3 slots for mystical archives and can have a forth one in the last slot. Also, I think every mystical archives are foil or etched foil in the collector booster. May have to double check this info.
Why you no flip rowan? 10:27 , 19:03 😭😭
Not bad pulls better then what I got from a set booster box that I got from my LGS I did get 9 mythics that include a Foil Etched Natural Order & Day of Judgement & a Kozilek, Butcher of Truth from the list. The best part is I got it for only $73.00 USD tax included as I had some store credit. At least I came out ahead so thats good.
Every time Rudy kept asking what the lesson cards were I just thought to myself “reading the card explains the card” 🤦🏻♂️
Gotta check that common slot, Dragon's Approach is 2,5$ for regular version, probably twice as much for foils.
I would like some stability for a few years. Every set thats released has newer and crazier flashy cards. Just calm it down and have some stability please! Collecting sets has become impossible
6 packs through and Rudy's volatile relationship just took a seat haha. He was impressed by pack 1. You know he feels fresh organizing those piles. Well done, strixhaven. Thanks, Rudy the bear, for not trying to claim on any individual card value. This video was ideally what he said it would be

Japanese alt arts (foil and etched) are only in the collectors boxes.
Etched mystical archives are also only in collectors boxes.
Draft boosters and set boosters only have regular mystical archives.
16:45 “This is going to be a hard set to beat in 2021”
Rudy now: 2021 Magic is encapsulated by Modern Horizons 2
Your camera quality is beautiful. I miss seeing you unbox interesting Magic.
Dear Rudy-Bear,
I guess a lot of people were saying this before or you figured out by yourself. The foil etching is exclusive for collectors. Set and draft boosters only have the normal versions of the global mystical archives + Chance of full foil version (not jpn style). Japanese style only in japanese boxes and global collectors. The mystical archive cards are seperated in rarety U/R/M. Thats why Stone rain counts as rare. Collectors: always 1 U global + 1 R/M japanese archive OR 1 U japanese + 1 R/M global archive per booster (etched foil) + 1 U global OR japanese full foil in every booster. The last card of booster can be anything R/M > only Chance to get demonic Tutor full foil japanese in non japanese boxes.
The etched foils are only in collectors boosters. Japanese are only in collectors boosters or Japanese packs. Each collectors booster has 4 mystical archives.
The English mystical archives come etched in normal and set boosters as well with a chance to get fully foiled. The Japanese alternate arts are only available in Japanese boxes and the English Collector boxes.
I think the Commander Legends Etched Foils where perfect in print. Printed with good quality. It was all the other foils that had problems.
The set boosters don't have the etching on the special reprint cards
You can get original foil mystical archive cards in the draft boxes. I pulled a foil sign in blood. Not sure about etched.
Keep an eye on those modal Modal Double Faced Cards, I've found on the back sides of them, many of them have been printed really offset
Cracked a couple, full art commander cards are nice. The mystical archives come in edge foil edge and none edge out of the regular draft and set boosters
samurai holding a plow instead of a sword. Swords to plowshares art is pretty cool
Great opening! Amazing cards! Maybe you could bring back Alpha Investments collector box BINGO!!!!
How could you even look up the Japanese cards to know what they are or do?
Don’t mind me, my broke ass and I are just sitting over here cracking packs vicariously, sighing softly to ourselves and remembering the before time.

Can't believe they went from Vikings to Japan
The Japanese crux of fate OML 😍
That odd symbol on the top left corner you were wondering about, those are the lesson cards. Not sure why they felt that was necessary.
strixihavon shiny and all very good
But Rudy, what about Prism, the Light Illusionist Hero?
Or is it actually a Light Ranger? 🤔
Well Rudy, Etched Foils are not in Strixhaven Draft Boosters, nor in Strixhaven Set Boosters, but 'regular-foil' Mystical Archive cards are.
Rarities are for limited since one is in every draft pack and can be used. Also there is one MA in every set booster. You can only get full foil of the MA cards in set and draft pack though and none will be JA.
You can get regular foil Mystical Archive cards in the draft/set boosters but not the foil etched or the Japanese ones.
Watching Rudy evaluate exponential growth reminds me that while he might be a strategic investor he is a timmy magic player.
Sees Japanese Tainted Pact, oh wow, OK, well..... Love you Rudy
Rudy! How is the curl for the regular foil type and the new type foils? Similar to usual? Curly?
I got a beta tutor, but that full border art may be the first time they have come worthy as the original
Nope
I've got a revised Tutor and am very happy with it, but damn do I want the Japanese Mystical Archive one.

Question. Does the regular draft box have the Japanese cards in them or just the collectors box?
Looks great. Of course, all roads lead to the question of supply
Do we even need those extended art box-topper things anymore? The showcase cards from every set now are so beautiful, I find the box-toppers redundant and unnecessary. We have those awesome Mystical Archive and Japanese cards to make a splash.
I don't collect magic but this set makes me want to looks beautiful
I only collect Pokémon, and I've watched Rudys Magic openings for years now. I've heard Rudy mention all kinds of chalupas like the Snappies, Demonic Tutors, all kinds of Lava Reacharounds. Usually I have his rambling on in the background, and the cards look okay/cool when I hover over to the screen.......... BUT DAMN THESE ARE BREATHTAKING...!
Here I was thinking that Pokémon really stepped up their game with the recent Alternate Arts.... Those Japanese cards... OMG I WANT THEM. (And I know nothing of Magic apart from the very basics hahaha)
I always hear Rudy about investing in this, investing in that.. I have no clue, but this is something I'd jump on if I didn't just order an ungodly amount of Pokémon from Japan xD
