Remember when people were mad because you could map the "box topper" foils in Throne? Now they just dump tons in the pack and no one cares about them anymore.
Someone else has probably already explained it, but if not, each color has a planeswalker associated with it and then each planeswalker has cards connected with them with the alternate frames (like the purple Liliana cards you noticed in the video.) White: Basri Blue: Teferi Black: Liliana Red: Chandra Green: Garruk
I'm guessing they turned the cards around in an effort to protect them from damage when the pack is heat sealed. Reacting the damaged commons of past collectors.
So...they flip them around, but put the double-sided foil tokens at the "end" so there are actually two faces AND the back side of one of the theoretically more expensive cards is only a single card away from the heat source. Yeah, that is much better than one or two commons occasionally being a little heat-damaged if the machine isn't calibrated right.
1. Land cycle is straight up insulting and I like temples but they are literally in rotation 2. Discontinuity end the turn is an instant so if you play it after oponents upkeep you have another turn before they can play anything 3. All planeswalkers and cards with PW name in it have special border matching the planeswalker even mana symbols are all slightly different.
To whomever's taco it concerns: I'd like to request keeping track of how many box toppers are pulled per box. That first box seemed to have at least 5! I wonder how many you can get. Thank you kindly, and stay safe. Sincerely, A Loyal Timmy
The first Ugin pulled it was like "Right on." 2nd one, "Wait..." 3rd Ugin in, "WHY NOT MEEEEE??!!?!" And the craziest part was that they were all different variants of each other. Insane. Absolutely insane.
Mark rosewater is in love with the color purple, he even said if a new color was to be introduced, it would be purple. So I'm guessing this is his way of getting purple on cards. Even the collectors swamps are purple
So the cards directly associated with a Planeswalker have a special border in this set, regardless of color. White is sand themed, red is fire, green of foliage, and blue is aether.
The 5 M20 Temples are back in M21 because there would only have been the 5 other Scry lands (from Theros) left in Standard had M20 rotated out this Sept. without reprinting them. This ensures that all 10 will be rotating out of Standard next September.
That moment when Rudy thinks Solemn Simulacrum is from M12. Someone quick tell the rest of the internet he for sure didn't play before OG Mirrodin block!
When Rudy cracks a set for the first time it's the best exemplar of Innocent Little Timmy: pulls a Dr. T and Ugin full alternate frame foil max ultra plus that costs hundred of dollars, "wow they have reprints".
I've noticed that m21 boxes seem to be collated poorly. In the cases I opened I hit multiple different versions of the same mythic several times. One regular booster box I opened had regular and extended massacre wurm and regular and extended ugin.
My guess is they put the temples in this set so they didnt put to much value in the set. JMO. I would have been happy with the buddy lands. They go perfect with the triomes.
M21 rotates out of standard the same day Eldraine does so reprinting Fabled Passage is definitely not about keeping it in Standard. It's about giving players fetchlands they promised in the summer set :D
Im pretty sure the special border colors for this set are supposed to represent the planeswalker that covers that color in this set. Liliana, chandra, teferi, gurruk, and Basri.
Second comment just to say: Love the positivity. I know you don't even do it to push product since you don't accept new patreons. You are a good man rudy.
It's funny because even reprinting passage doesnt keep it in standard longer as it cycles out the same time from both sets... until printed in the next zendikar set or beyond will it be continued in standard
I love how you enjoyed the art. The core set is not incredible in terms of value but the art is incredible and the framwork is very beautiful. I'll buy some because I love the art and want to be able to look at them sometimes.
Remember when people were mad because you could map the "box topper" foils in Throne? Now they just dump tons in the pack and no one cares about them anymore.
It's _a_ solution to the problem, I guess
DeSaxofoonVanPeter modern Problems require modern solutions
Chrome my taco!
@@DeSaxofoonVanPeter kinda like pouring a tub of glue on a pile of the pieces of a plate is the solution to breaking a plate.
I kinda like that you can get all these cool cards cheaper.
I Like how Rudy gets 3 ugins and is just like and another ugin...
Thx for the likes!🙏🏻😁
3 ugins, 1 lili, 1 tutor in the same box lol
And a playset of scavenging oozes
@@whitwhitmore7921 and a garruk and chandra
That box was insane
Someone else has probably already explained it, but if not, each color has a planeswalker associated with it and then each planeswalker has cards connected with them with the alternate frames (like the purple Liliana cards you noticed in the video.)
White: Basri
Blue: Teferi
Black: Liliana
Red: Chandra
Green: Garruk
Too bad they can't make the black cards... I dunno *black*
Purple just pushes it too much into the pokemon yu-gi-oh direction.
Jonathan Copperfall idk I like it
It's much easier to make purple look good in that kind of art than black. You can't bounce light off of black.
@@jonathantillian6528 I think it's more to go with Liliana's purple robes more than anything
@@jonathantillian6528 your too much like pokemon and yugioh
First pack gets standard bearer
Last pack gets it again.
Rudy: I've never met this man in my life
I was waiting for his response to the temples.
I love how other UA-camrs seem to struggle opening packs and for you the wrapping seems to just fall off. haha
Keep him away from your girl, imagine what else he can do with them fingers
@@CRACKINGPACKSMTG haha!
They’re repacks! /s
Terese Nielsen is an alt right racist. Rudy supports her....
@@Card_Capital why did you comment and not make its own post?
Love the Nielsen Devotion
We need to count Mythics Rudy
He usually only starts doing that after the first couple videos of Collector Box openings.

Aw...Rudy, I don't care what anyone say...You do not look like that goblin.
That goblin looks way better!😜
Upvoted for Terese Nielsen
“Upvoted” go back to reddit
Thank you for featuring Terese art! 🥰
Rudy: What are piles?
Gets 3 ugins
Meh, I dunno if this is a good box
Come on Rudy!!!!!!!!
So proud of you for trolling with that play mat lol 😂
1. Land cycle is straight up insulting and I like temples but they are literally in rotation
2. Discontinuity end the turn is an instant so if you play it after oponents upkeep you have another turn before they can play anything
3. All planeswalkers and cards with PW name in it have special border matching the planeswalker even mana symbols are all slightly different.
Rudy’s reaction to the temple is PRICELESS never change Rudy
Rudy's excitement on seeing new style cards is amazing and enjoyable to watch.

I don’t even collect Mtg but find myself watching all of Rudy’s videos..
Thanks Rudy 🍻
Pulls out an almost 200$ ugin, no fuggs given :D
Yea First Ugin I’ve seen pulled He flippin pulled 2 good Tacos
the 3 ugins I saw weren't mythic adn the mythic is the one that's worth the most.
hulivar of course those 3 ugin are mythics you are stupidly blind dude !!
Well its not gonna be that price for long if you pull 3 per box.
That first box was a freaking god box of value.
Mark rosewater is in love with the color purple, he even said if a new color was to be introduced, it would be purple. So I'm guessing this is his way of getting purple on cards. Even the collectors swamps are purple
Liliana's Devotee: "I look like a hot mess middle aged man trying to be a disco king"
Rudy: "Hold my Baja Blast..."
Notes:
Core 2021 doesn't look like a Core set.
Magic cards don't look like Magic cards anymore
Double sided token best idea in the set
To Be Continued
Exactly fuck this I'm not playing with cards that don't look like cards
@@niccosaur7778 look at 11:57 though
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!
The love for the art work of WotC's *redacted* artist is why I liked. Although I was probably going to like anyways
Can someone tell me what’s going on with Terese? Google didn’t show anything
@@abrahamdrinkin2534 she got accused of being a right-wing antisemitic extremist for liking a tweet by a Democrat congresswoman about Israel.
@@christiansmith5047 She also was going around and sending signed art to a bunch of QAnon idiots. Not something you want your company associated with.
@@abrahamdrinkin2534 essentially she was witch hunted for having separate political views from others. And WotC "didn't want that controversy"
Love the T.N. support!
Keep em coming Rudy!
I love how stoked you get on the artwork
So the cards directly associated with a Planeswalker have a special border in this set, regardless of color. White is sand themed, red is fire, green of foliage, and blue is aether.
good work supporting Terese!
Thank you for supporting Terese.
“I know what I’m doing” LOL Rudy just looking at the back of a token like it’s the start of the pack ❤️
Interesting, my tokens were not at the back.
And i fully support that playmat. Keep the tacos crisp rudy!
Thank you for not canceling Terese
The 5 M20 Temples are back in M21 because there would only have been the 5 other Scry lands (from Theros) left in Standard had M20 rotated out this Sept. without reprinting them. This ensures that all 10 will be rotating out of Standard next September.
Thank you for bringing us into the future Rudy.
Gosh I love the extended art cards. I'm considering getting a collector's box just based on the sheer number of ex cards!
Give us pain lands!!!!
“Why are all the black cards purple now?!” Pulls several regular black cards
absolutely love this set. best core set ever imo. cant wait for more unboxing videos.
The art is something else on this set! BTW, always loved your stuff man.
Im impressed how quickly you figure out the distribution and types of cards.
I'm actually impressed by the M21 art feels like some of the best in the last couple years.
+1 for Terese and the "can't be acknowledged ban club"
Holy. Balls. That opening was nuts!
This has to be one of the most powerful core sets.
the colol blue borders are teferi cards, cool red borders are chandra and the cool green borders are garruks
Idk why it is always funny when Rudy drops a card and calls it light played.
These cards are very beautiful
So glad to see that the Terese Nielsen playmat will be featuring in upcoming videos. Thank you Rudy, from the bottom of my taco.
that playmatt is actually lovely
Also those basic lands oh my
Damn it Rudy! 🤯
You didn't put the mythic cards in the mythic pile again!😱
You're driving me crazy!🤪
For those who just want to see if Rudy pulls Ugin... He pulls him three times! They are at 8:53, 11:14 and 11:53.
Would it be bettter to buy an Ikoria collectors box or M21? Anyone have any opinions?
that solemn simulacrum art is officially dubbed pepsiman
I love you Rudy! You are doing God's work!
I love it when Rudy slow rolls the packs and appreciates the Arts
5:10 Rudy: looks at black card, puts it down to reveal purple card
Also Rudy: why are all the black cards purple now??!
That first box was the best box you could ever pull.
I instantly fell in love with this core set. So much flavor.... the non basic lands are so stale though.
Glad to see Terese playmat in the screen, she is the best. Great set btw.
Rudy when you become a flying cat with a cape, who will be the enemy of Reddit?
Reality.
That moment when Rudy thinks Solemn Simulacrum is from M12. Someone quick tell the rest of the internet he for sure didn't play before OG Mirrodin block!
It was cute.

Ruby is pretty much my older sister...
Rudy's making a mess 2020 :D
Kudos for Terese :)
My guess is they put the temples in this set so they didnt put to much value in the set. JMO. I would have been happy with the buddy lands. They go perfect with the triomes.
Excited Rudy is very entertaining
that foil alt art ugin is simply beautifulll
Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of duplication in the card pulls?
there's like a million commons in the "special slots". kinda dumb imo.
Yeah even in the rare slots it seems like a lot of duplication.
I got 2 prereleases kits. Two lands as the promos. Never been more disappointed
I counted 7 Mythics in box 1 and 11 in box two. Did I miss any? The first box quality of Mythics was very high. And that Ugin...nice!
Gotta say, Rudy's play matte game is on point!
Hanna of the Weatherlight is beautiful artwork.
i cant wait to pick mine up this friday!!! everyone preorder now at LGS only and get that Rin and Seri PROMO with 2 packs of jumpstart!!!
Hashtag Rudy repeats the same thing on loop
Love the neilsen art playmat! I want one Rudy!❤
The strange borders are showcase cards from the spellbooks. You can get the Chandra's Spellbook cards in the collector packs.
Thumbs up on the quick for the Terese play mat nod. Love it.
That first box had 4 Ugins and Grim tutor...best box I have seen
Ruby, you really are a great salesman.
Those fancy lands are gorgeous
M21 rotates out of standard the same day Eldraine does so reprinting Fabled Passage is definitely not about keeping it in Standard. It's about giving players fetchlands they promised in the summer set :D
Baneslayer is one of my favorite most nostalgic cards. I don't care of its a dollar, I'd still trade top tier mythics for it
OMG! He just pulled 3 Ugins in the same box. Lucky!
Im pretty sure the special border colors for this set are supposed to represent the planeswalker that covers that color in this set. Liliana, chandra, teferi, gurruk, and Basri.
I was waiting for Rudy's reaction to the first scry land. I wasn't disapointed!
Terese nielsen praetor of timmys and tacos everywhere
But no longer since she got cancelled
I thought it was a joke when they said they'd be renaming Black to Purple in the color pie
White is going to become Yellow too.
Interesting pulls for sure, a lot of duplication. Some good some bad. Curious to see what I pull Friday. Shirt got delivered today and looks awesome!
Still don't play Magic, but damn these make me want to start even more.
Wow the Grim Tutor pack... awesome
Lol i loved the confusion over the purple cards at the beginning. This was a genuine first reaction opening. 🤙
Second comment just to say: Love the positivity. I know you don't even do it to push product since you don't accept new patreons. You are a good man rudy.
I just got back into Magic since Fallen Empire. What is a box topper?
Great job and good luck
It's funny because even reprinting passage doesnt keep it in standard longer as it cycles out the same time from both sets... until printed in the next zendikar set or beyond will it be continued in standard
This artwork is so much better than Ikoria. So happy to no longer see Godzilla cards.
I love how you enjoyed the art. The core set is not incredible in terms of value but the art is incredible and the framwork is very beautiful. I'll buy some because I love the art and want to be able to look at them sometimes.
