Rudy, the problem with getting 2 low to mid-range box toppers is that you're paying $100+ for a single pack. The price point is so absurdly high per pack that you need to open big hits or you're on the express bus to frown town.
$30 card in a $110~ pack is like getting a $3 rare in a $10 pack (ultimate masters packs cost more, making it even worse) and you SHIT ON $3 rares in packs that are around that expensive. Hell if you don't hit at least a $5 rare in a $10 most people are upset since you basically are guaranteed to lose money (and those cards tend to be less desirable). So yeah, I'd consider a $30-$40 card in these packs to be a bad pull unless I'm getting other big hits along with it (not garbage like m-mage). VIP boosters remain pretty all-in and DEFINITELY not worth it unless you can buy a bunch of them and even then IMO not worth it. Rather just buy a whole fuckin box of something else and have a great time rippin packs than buy 4 of these and probably get fucked.
@@nicolasannawn5715 People that get expensive reprints always refuse to sell those cheap, reprint or not the valuable mythic s appear like 1 per case still making them 100+ x more expensive then a proxy and the reserve list is still not being reprint ass of now
Well Rudy you were asking before which is the worst video and got hosed the most... Welp it is certainly this guy. 7/16 mythics, while the average mythic pullrate being 66%. Only about 370$ made off the showcase mythics and a lot of bad showcase rares. The pack with Grim lavamancer, Bosh and showcase Crop Rotation/Council's Judgment literally is worth ~40 bucks even taking into account the foil manamorphose and unset land. F for respect... I guess.
Hey Rudy, Im a Timmy here and tried to sign up to your Patron but everything is sold out. I love to "get cheap magic cards" but like I said im a TIMMY... what am I missing?
Just use Amazon. After the $15 you pay Rudy through Patreon, Amazon is about the same if you’re going to buy a couple regular booster boxes now and then.
Opened a case yesterday of 4 packs. Got double borderless Batterskull and Fatal Push, AND two regular batterskull. Never had that happen before where both borderless showcase cards were the same in two packs back to back from the same case.

Etched foil reprints destined to dilute "showcase topper" value. Is what I hear when Rudy talks about new flashy cards diluting the value of old flashy cards.
I went full Timmy and bought one VIP pack from Amazon, and got a showcase Jace. Rated the delivery driver extremely high, wish I could have bought him a Taco.
Only ever bought one VIP on a whim, got a foil Manamorphose, Bauble, Voice of Resurgence, Mana Echoes and Toxic Deluge and Jace as box toppers. Took that as a note that all my luck has been wasted on this and will never buy on again.

What happened to the men and women who put the total value of the opened boxes? You guys are missed plz return!!!!
Most of the time those values are incorrect and hugely inflated so I’d rather not see it.
Very important packs?
do you know how much these things pollute the environment?
Got a foil mana crypt
Hosed ...........My Crunchy Taco turned floppy on this opening
I got my shirt!!!!
I've been waiting since 20k subscribers
