Wow that last box woke everyone up in the last few minutes of the video! Back to back Agadeem’s with a foil Greenwarden.... slap my floppy taco and take my money!!!
Box topper damage- Rudy gets his boxes in bulk straight from a distributor, likely by the pallet, no damages. Other people get their boxes by the box or case delivered by ground delivery serves. Ever see how those guys throw boxes around?
@@keterclass3541 there are definitely accounts with photo evidence of the box topers having been damaged from moving around inside the box before being opened. I'm just saying I don't think it's likely Rudy will find any of his product to have that damage due to the difference in shipping methods.
@@ilovemykitties84 I also got a mythic card in the list slot but apparently its not worth anything at all and also strip mine is like what ? 10 bucks ? Thats not even that big of a pull, is it ?
The set booster packs cannot be drafted in their current construction. My LGS still couldn’t get draft boxes last week (Oct. 23) & had gone through the supply of extra prerelease kits Southern Hobby had (which they used the previous 2 weeks to draft) so they tried to draft with set boosters & it was miserable.
I got so excited when I got Krark’s Thumb in my box from The List, as well as an Awakening, I also got a Mythic Rare, but it was only Soul of Zendikar 😂 The box was already OP, but those cards from The List pushed it above and beyond.
I literally check the set lists and see 15 or so cards I feel I absolutely need, and I just know there will be a box opening here systematically opening every one I want...usually back to back lol
Videos like this make me wonder what's up with my luck. I opened a set box on Sunday and got 2 mythics, 37 rares, only 2 of which were foil and 1 of which was list.
I had one set booster that was a "slapper" in that the $1+ cards added up to the cost of the box (barely, even though I only paid $123 for it at launch). The other two set boosters I cracked netted less than $60.
Draft boxes will probably stay but with a lower printing and will be used pretty much just for limited events. Then sets will then be printed for people who just want to open boxes
I bought 3 packs of this and was lucky enough to get a triple rare/1 mythic pack. Extended art foil mythic too. Not worth much but still a foil mythic. Oh and I'm not opening my expedition pack either, considering theirs only like 7 cards worth equal or more than I paid for it I'm okay just waiting it out for value to go up then selling it
Has Rudy opened a 4-rare pack yet? I forget how much under 1% chance it was from the Professor’s video, but I would like to see in on camera just to see that it was truly possible.
The only thing good about "set boosters" is the hope that you will get a card from a different set. You can't draft this and 90% of the time the list card is less than bulk. This is by far the worst product they are currently making.
Any fetch land that can get an Island or Verdent Catacombs have their printings so restricted you are lucky if you get one. That way they have an incentive for people to buy MH2. Boxes.
I just wish we could get back to simple, straight forward product releases and less of these dumb variants. Cards have variants, and now booster boxes themselves have variants! Enough with these stupid collectors boxes and set boxes, bring back MSRP and sell me something simple and reasonably priced damn it! LOL Since when have the vanilla booster boxes been "only for draft"? Only since WotC needed to create buzzwords to market and differentiate their product while they flooded the market with useless crap. I remember a time when "booster" packs did just that, they boosted the cards you already had in your possession from when you bought a starter deck or a pre-con deck. If you wanted to build a stronger deck you had to collect more cards and the booster pack was how you did it. Now suddenly they want us to believe that the vanilla packs are something you only crack if you want to draft, when in truth drafting was always secondary to the reason behind the creation of booster packs in the first place. SMH
@@yumyumeatemup I agree, I understand they just wanted to sell more product but its feels like they went the wrong way for lasting stability they just want to milk the player base for as long as possible while also trying to get more people into the game to supplement the people that can't afford to buy it all. Im sure that this attitude they have taken on has made people want to go gravitate to older cards
@@kinGhidora Hell I would argue it makes them want to gravitate away from the game entirely to other, more efficiently constructed and priced games. Me and my playgroup have all been talking about the up and coming Flesh and Blood TCG that has been making waves recently. Once COVID goes to teh way side (hopefully sometime this decade :P ) we plan to all buy some starter product and give it a whirl. Its way more straight forward, there's less product and its more affordably priced. If WotC keeps up what they are doing I feel MTG is going to take a back seat to other TCGs that are ironically following the old format of production Wizards USED to follow LOL.
I like how you know if you got a list card because if you see a token, you didnt get a list card but if you see a normal card back, you got a list card
The reason you are not seeing damage is because you're getting a pallet of them that stay upright through most of the journey of the boxes. Put one box in a larger box with a couple of air packs and send it across a few states. Then see if you get a damaged box topper.
So we are seeing the 3rd or 4th instance of way too much supply, almost mirroring the Fallen Empires Incident ( though I still love that set)...gotcha. Called it.
I believe magic uses arena as there new test site for new cards. You'll notice cards are getting banned quick after new sets start hitting arena before cardboard distribution.
Gotta love that track printing, almost the same "List" cards as a previous opening. Same happened to me. 2 boxes from different cases and only 1 different card between the 2.
I'm so sad that the list card or no is spoiled as soon as you open the pack by the back of the card being token or real card back, unless you open the packs unnaturally upside-down.
Crazy good box 10/10 for sure musta been 6 foil rares 4 foil mythic and close to 15 reg mystic honestly though having not seen any of the collector boxes it's hard to say if you get as many as you did in theros it's going to be a while before they start to up tick in value if I had to guess but without a few of them to compare to I'm just thinking out loud 🙄 Will you opening commander legends? I don't even play commander and I'm pretty stoked too see some of these opened may actually get me to start though it's going to be a fire product for sure 🤯
The actual problem here is.......Set boosters should make the Standard boosters cost a lot less, as the cards are a lot less valuable, but the player base is like crack addicts and do as they do...ruin it.
Mythic chase already banned in standard 🤦 probably doesn't help the initial value. I bet 10 years from now people well pay 3,000 for a box that has an Omnath of broken dreams. Then again Ill have my 9/9 for 1 mana Two Chains, made for commander standard card double super secret deluxe vip lair inside a dungeon. 🍀 It comes with 3 other cards that all synergize with 2 chains. Like pack of cigarellos. And half empty bottle of henesy with a cigarette put out in it, and my favorite. Bottom bitch. All functionally unique and you have to buy 75 boxes to get full playsets because in the nightmare future secret lairs well become loot boxes so you have to order more of them to get the full set. 🤦🌮👍
I like Rudy, but the dude doesn't know everything about magic. Booster boxes aren't going away. People still booster draft and when there isn't a pandemic people actually still show up to booster drafts in stores. The booster box is one in a line of products and makes 0 sense to get rid of. Not everyone is a magic investor. Most people just play the game and collect the cards for the fun of it. Rudy caters to a specific group of people. His insight is good for investing, buy as for the future of magic the dude has no clue. I am a patrion and love his content and buy products from him. Great guys, like us has no clue about the real future of magic.
Kaldheim set boosters are a complete rip. Didn’t get a single “head turning” card in the appropriate slot and got nothing but commons in the rare/mythic slots.
The fact Confounding Conundrum is the double rare and it completely confused rudy is just perfect.
Box two had two mythics in the list slot Rudy. History of Banalia was a mythic. Not a rare. These boxes were nuts.
I always watch these in hope that one day I might be able to open my own😂
Me too. And I've never touched a magic card in my life hahaha.
Just buy fallen empires you are better off
Wow that last box woke everyone up in the last few minutes of the video!
Back to back Agadeem’s with a foil Greenwarden.... slap my floppy taco and take my money!!!

I get my boxes delivered by Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. They always arrive in terrible condition.
I just got 3 Jumpstart and 2 Zendikar Rising Set boxes delivered by UPS.
S Rank Boxes.
Or maybe he makes shit up about the damage to have something to talk about
Yup i worked in the sort isle at UPS and lets say they do no handle with care.

Gratz cory for getting lightly played cards :D

Surrrre yah did, Bud.

that was truly magical. asking the spirit of gaea for a lotus cobra and then getting a lotus cobra.
I had to make sure I was looking at a set booster opening lol (was doing chores and was listening to it)
I literally check the set lists and see 15 or so cards I feel I absolutely need, and I just know there will be a box opening here systematically opening every one I want...usually back to back lol
That ending was bonkers

First set booster video where Rudy's patron can buy not only the taco party pack, but the nacho party pack too?! Unbelievable!🤩
my box topper was folded in half like it was a folder
They're talking about box topper damage just so they can get you to mention it in every single video, Rudy... and you deliver.
I got duplicate rares in the same pack once. A white War of the Spark theme booster. It was a double rare pack, and both rares were Parhelion II haha
I'm excited to see rudy do pokemon box breaks!!!
I’m still not convinced he’s going to open any Pokémon boxes. Now selling boxes on the other hand...
@@coolguyxoxo it would be cool watching him open vivid voltage boxes for patreons
OMG, Double Rainbows (Conundrum) !!

The box topper damage is to the draft boxes not the set boxes because of the way the strap is put into the box vs the hammock
No.... ultimate masters rudy. My sir
Draft boxes will probably stay but with a lower printing and will be used pretty much just for limited events. Then sets will then be printed for people who just want to open boxes
3 customers had box topper damage on opening weekend
My box had 2 mythics from the list, 1 rare and a Time spiral purple.
This has been the best one yet imho
Great box I had some openings that did the same lol
I'm pretty new to magic and am wondering , are the first card in each pack full-art lands or something like that? Tia
I will not buy a set box again, it's value is WAY too random.
I bought 3 packs of this and was lucky enough to get a triple rare/1 mythic pack. Extended art foil mythic too. Not worth much but still a foil mythic. Oh and I'm not opening my expedition pack either, considering theirs only like 7 cards worth equal or more than I paid for it I'm okay just waiting it out for value to go up then selling it
Awesome!! :) Thx for all the Great videos! Plz open more Jump/Start! :)
Has Rudy opened a 4-rare pack yet? I forget how much under 1% chance it was from the Professor’s video, but I would like to see in on camera just to see that it was truly possible.
Whenever Rudy opens up a set box booster pack you can tell whether or not there is a set list card in the pack being opened by the back of it
Well then….
I hope so, I don't like 80% or so of a set being limited-oriented because of draft.
Rudy do you watch MTG Arena Original Decks?
Amazing. Just amazing.
i still got a playset of broodstar in my binder
What a confounding conundrum...
Very nice first box!

I like how you know if you got a list card because if you see a token, you didnt get a list card but if you see a normal card back, you got a list card
How is this going to become a draft box? It would totally mess up the draft experience. People didn't draft VIP boxes for the same reason.
I hate the set boxes.

Omnath is great!! standard's for chumps anyway, commander is where its at
Just waiting for Rudy to pull a Scroll Rack from the list slot lol
Rudy opens 2 awesome boxes, did you get any signature arts?? :-)
Was just thinking that. I threw all my art cards in a box then realized I had an auto Nahiri, flooded strand and prismatic vista.
Every time Rudy mentions the number of rares, you have a drink.
Would be hammered halfway trough the video lol . Man he is a true salesman ain’t he lol .
I'm so sad that the list card or no is spoiled as soon as you open the pack by the back of the card being token or real card back, unless you open the packs unnaturally upside-down.

Rudy, do a video on spellfire, great forgotten game
Why is there a mirrodin broodstar in a zendikar pack?
my taco got way too soft towards the end of the video
I wonder if prerelease kits are doomed if draft booster boxes are discontinued.
The actual problem here is.......Set boosters should make the Standard boosters cost a lot less, as the cards are a lot less valuable, but the player base is like crack addicts and do as they do...ruin it.
Investors are the drug dealers then, buying in bulk to sell single bags LUL
I love how Rudy compulsively touches the unopened box topper between packs for no reason
is it a "rare" when they're as common as "uncommons"?

How does one become a patron if its all sold out?
Wait patiently for a slot to open.

Isn't the point of set boosters to collect cards more easily? Not necessarily for monetary value, but just since you can get more rates per pack?
rudy the resealing
Anyone know where I can find that playmat??
Insane
A mythic in the set nice
2 mythics in the list wow
They will not, as long as people draft - and the cards are made for drafting.
did rudy open omnath+ hashep oasis in the same pack last video to? i swear he did
i checked. i was close but wrong. 3 days ago he opened a heshep oasis, next pack he hit the exten'ed art omnath
Hey Rudy...What's a guy gotta do to get a signed floppy taco?
Eh idk..... I opened the worst set booster box. Opening a bad booster vs a bad set booster is actually noticeable.
and he forgot the dominaria mythic
What is a set booster box?
what the hell is owen wilson doing here 15:49 - 15:53

Do you film these like a month in advance? Omnath was banned weeks ago.
Possibly or he is just clickbaiting into getting comments. Cause the following video he does not do it again or seems to know its banned etc.
Idk but collector boxes feel better in my opinion

Still no Collectors in the house? ;)
Two conundrums in the same packkkkk Rudy how?
Lurres of the dream taco 🌮
And yet these set boosters as they are right now don’t appeal to me at all. I’ll stick to regular and collector’s boosters.
