Hey Rudy, Long time watcher, even though I gave up the game in the late 90's. The hype and excitement you generate for the game finally rubbed off, and I went to a Dominaria tournament event this weekend. First event I can recall since Urza's Legacy prerelease. Pretty interesting seeing new card types and abilities that I had never fathomed before. Ended up winning a bunch of packs and generally having a wonderful time. Just wanted to give you a proper recognition for being a positive ambassador of the game.
Not only is Rudy destroying the Magic economy, not only does he not know how to play Magic, but he doesn't even know the difference between lobsters and crabs...
@@drippa8834 anyone who played old school magic can agree that those were the days, specially the urza sets. looking at the price of these cards blows my mind and makes me want to cry because i had a shit ton of these back in the day, they were worth nothing... well most of them anyways, not like today, this is amazing!! thank you so much for sharing this, nostalgia is strong on this channel!!
First booster I ever bought. Fallen Empires. 1994. The sixth grade. I can remember almost every card in that pack to this day. These boxes are my favorite to see. Nostalgia is truly a valuable commodity.
Thank you Rudy. It was worth the money to me just for the laughs! I will use some of these cards in a play deck to relive the old days and tell all the kids lies about how good the old days were. Seeing the gorgeous artwork takes me back to when I ordered and got 120 boxes of FE and how much that hurt the wallet. At least the artwork and card quality is so much better than what they produce today.
These old ass cards still look better than most of the stuff today in terms of quality. *Also it is strange knowing these cards are older than most of the viewers on youtube.*
I can't agree. Most old Magic cards had horrible art, and the bloated text boxes made the cards look even worse. I started learning MtG back in Arabian Nights, and I have some nostalgia towards those old borders, but the cards today look simply much better.
Man, I can remember shops that just could not GIVE these cards away back in the day. WoTC over printed these and I was able to pickup entire boxes for next to nothing.
Geezus rudy, whenever i see wide shots of your pallets and pallets of merch...the more you seem like some sort of mystical lizardman with your treasure horde! you do take naps ontop of them right? ;)
I mean no disrespect whatsoever; I love your channel. I do feel though that if you explained what you were opening/ what cards are/ history in general of magic that the community youve created would appreciate it greatly. I'm a magic player of three weeks and love the channel a lot. this is my only gripe. Keep on Casting Rudy, Love you.
Also as a kid I remember going through the huge boxes of bulk at my LGS and picking out every single Elvish Fortress I could because I loved the art and I loved that I kept finding new ones with different art - it was so much fun for me.
Despite the collapse of the set, Fallen Empires is my absolute favorite set because it allowed me to make my first real tribal deck: fungus. To this day I still hunt down all the spore, fungus, and thallid cards to add to my decks. Thank you, Rudy!
For all the crap the set gets it is still is one of my favorites as it represents some of my earliest experiences with MTG and will always have the nostalgia feels for me.
There was order in these packs Rudy, the first 2 cards are always uncommons, the rest common. Some of the uncommons are only on the sheet one time so they are considered “rares” now, but really every pack has two uncommons in the front and 6 commons after. Therefore some packs have 2 of what we now consider rares from this set while some have zero, it’s just a matter of if u get the 1-per-sheet uncommons in your 2 uncommon slots.
At last. I was the model for the Dwarven Soldier at 13.45 or so. Knew Randy the artist for years. Still have a print from the original artwork around here. Not so fun thing was this was the first mass release. Rather then stores getting 1 in 10 that they ordered they got everything. Problem was Stores were padding their orders trying to get more stock. More then one store blew there Magic budget for years with stockrooms full of this release that would not sell.
Only 1 minute into the video and I started reading the comments, which transported me back to 1997 when this started becoming a thing in my primary school when I was a 8-9 year old. We didn’t have much money so my parents would never even allow me to buy any. Maybe one or two booster packs; which went at $4.50 (SGD) here in Singapore. Such bitter sweet nostalgia.
I do not own, have never owned, have never played, know nothing about magic the gathering, but for some reason, some strange reason, I absolutely fucking love watching these videos of people opening these packs and discovering what cards lie in wait. I don't know if the card is even good until the opener gets excited about it. It seriously makes me want to like hunt for magic cards. It's the weirdest shit that I know nothing about but secretly desperately want to be apart of.
Maybe you just like seeing people be excited about things, and not that you really want to spend money on these cards, but want to find your own thing that makes you feel like that.
Hey Rudy. I want to buy one of each booster of the 4-5 first generations and kinda frame it for nostalgic sake. Where do you reckon I can get the best price off of single boosters? Just need 1 of each, if you feel me
i think is really cool to see the cards artwork changing with time, it actually makes me appreciate the old artwork a lot more, the contrast between the different styles.
I have loved watching your videos for a few days now. Somehow my mind went to searching for Magic the Gathering and I stumbled across your content and unboxing videos. I was a long time Magic player, starting around Stronghold and continuing until some time around Dark Ascension. I played tournaments, FNM, casual, prereleases, etc. Watching videos on the things that occupied a majority of my life through high school and some college has been a huge pleasure in reliving my memories of incredible matches and times with friends. Thank you very much for putting these videos together, I look forward to keeping up with the content in the future. Regards, your newest subscriber!
Ive always found older card artwork to to be more interesting, like when someone in D&D goes over the top in designing their character and makes a portrait. A mix between an artist told "draw Raiding Party" without context and a lore aware artist with a creative rebellious streak 'going at it'. Watching this in 2024 and expecting more!
This brings back such bad memories. The one time I scraped up enough money for a box and I bought a box of FE, because it had just came out. I remember at the card shop trying to decide between the box of FE or The Dark. I absolutely hated the art in FE. This video almost makes me want to quit magic all over again.
The shock of $$$ isn't there but man are these cards awesome! The artwork, the swirl and pattern of the card around the artwork. Its kind of like geologic finds, not useful today but a window to the past.
I know absolutely nothing about MTG. Heck, I'd never even heard of it before a few weeks ago. But I am addicted to watching MTG videos and unboxings on UA-cam now. I don't even know why. I don't even know which cards are valuable or rare, I'm just waiting for a reaction to figure it out.
"Remember you only get one shot in this world everybody. Make sure you do something that you enjoy in your life otherwise you'll regret it." Great way to end the video :-D
Back in the day I would go to a store that would give away bonus packs of Fallen Empires based on how many packs you purchased. One time my friend and I went there on Christmas Eve, we each got a starter pack (me 4th Edition, my friend Ice Age), and the store gave us each an entire box of Fallen Empires for free. Something about wanting to get rid of inventory. I had a fun Christmas the next morning. I talked to a Magic collector about the boxes we got and he said that a box of Fallen Empires had either a complete set of the U1s or two copies of one half of the set's U1s. My box had a complete set. Once I saw the 2nd Sand Silos I could tell that Rudy did not get a complete set in this box.
Wow how the times have changed. Since this was posted there are alot of cards that are worth more than the 4 he was searching for. Hopefully the guy who bought the box didn't throw them out.
What I remember about the mid 90s was that when this set came out, at first I was hyped cause of how cheap the packs were, but I quickly realized why: the cards never got much better, and really, at about $1.99-$2.50, I could have my folks buy me five packs were still less worthwhile than a single pack of legends at $5.99 ( the shop had a limited but specific asortment of mtg). I still like Fallen Empires, since I almost collected the hwole set for less than 50 bucks, but man...if only I had been more interested in Beta or unlimited when I first saw them. Those were my intro to MTg. T.T c'est la vie, we mortals are made only to regret. lol RUDY SELL ME A BOX O FALLEN EMPIRES PWEEZ! HOW CAN I CONTACT YEEE!?
I opened 15 boxes of these a few years ago, the guy who had them said his basement had been flooded and these had survived the flood 10 years earlier etc. Well I could see some water damage on the box so I told him I wanted to open one pack to see what it looked like inside before making him an offer. It was a pack full of black mold yikes. So I put on a mask grabbed a garbage bag and a pair of gloves and played the what will I find inside the pack game haha. Each pack I gave a slight bend to and some just crumbled in my hand so those I tossed. Then I opened one pack at a time, the winners were not what cards were inside but which packs had an air tight seal to survive the water lol I ended up with about $100 worth of cards out of the 15 boxes I gave him $30. So sad but at least I saved some of the cards.
it's a Reserved Rare, and was still hovering just under Rainbow Vale. like it was already doing well for a Fallen Empires card. I don't think Dominaria has as much to do with it as being a Reserved List buyout in general.
You can sacrifice Saprolings for life, not the only can in the set that can sacrifice them for something however. Why people are going for that one is beyond me however.
I know nothing of this game or how to play yet i have watched about 10 of your videos, please enlighten me i want to know how much you payed for that whole box and how much money you got back with those cards you said are good. is it possible to make back your money or is it almost always a bust ?
Horrible power cards, sure... But great for my Jr. Highschool imagination, the set name plus the flavor text...it sucked me into magic, made me feel like a wizard battling my friend across the mountain, woth spells drawn on ghosts of ancient lands...it was AWESOME!!!! Revised and Fallen forever! I still collect all the new merfolk creature cards and any card with merfolk in the art,in spite of not playing, like kids who grow up and don't play football anymore but follow the teams.
I knew it! The box WAS resealed... Rudy took ALL the Rainbow Vales. J/K that's just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Some boxes get 1 or 2 some get none. It's crazy to think though with boxes at around $700 at the moment, that makes Rainbow Vale a hard to pull card if its your only chase. $350-$700 each if you want a chance to pull a 9.5 Gem Mint. (And I DO want a 9.5 Gem Mint)
Fallen Empires is one of my favorite sets because of the interesting themes and tribes in it. Thallids, Homarids and Thrulls are awesome, I hope Wizards prints some more in the next set.
I’m fairly new to Magic, any suggestions on what a solid booster box to open would be? Like a good combination of value and cost? Half the fun for me and my wife is cracking packs.
4:04 - "Hand of Justice. There we go" wow, rudy, a 10 cent rare.... youre not going to convince anyone to buy all your fallen empire boosters...you wasted your money
Now, but it spiked in the last few days, prior to that Rainbow Vale was the most valuable card in the set. What's really funny is that spike cause the total sets value to increase by a third (by MTGGoldfish).
Say what you will about Fallen Empires; when it came out, if you were just starting, you could buy a box and build 2 or 3 playable casual decks with just it, Revised, and the Dark. Yeah, it was weak overall, but for it's time it wasn't a terrible set. And we have it to thank for Thallids.
I used to run a goblin deck back in the day. Those goblin grenades were THE BEST card to come out of that set! By the way, whatever happened to the Homelands expansion? No one ever talks about that set either...
I was so poor when i was younger, i had recently started playing MTG and was so excited when i found a full booster box i could afford - little did i know how awful this set was xD oh the memories
Its not a bad game for sure... But, the real money traders have an usually high market depth. I have always thought that the real money traders have internal access to devs. $$$
PoE devs crack down on RMT in their game more than any other I've played. Many of my friends even got banned just for using D2JSP forums for trading items from one league to another using forum gold. Sure some may still exist but they are more diligent than anyone else about any kind of cheating or advantaged gameplay.
Daniel I don't disagree, but knew I might get crap if I stated that. I had a barbarian that had like 45k health and crazy resistance that couldnt die in PK. Also the hammerdin was badass...
Fallen Empires was everywhere when I started playing. Love, love, love those cards--regardless of the "value." I always loved Castle Greyskull... er, Bottomless Vault, all the Thrulls and Thallids, and the Mark Tedin Mindstab Thrull artwork.
The reason my brother and friends got out of Magic, Fallen Empires, Ice Age and Homelands. We didn't want to keep paying for crappy cards with crappy mechanics. We would get together and buy 3 to 6 boost boxes at the time. $200 to $500 with no return in site. Wish I would have stayed around though.
The first 2 cards are from the uncommon sheet, the "rares" were 1 per sheet, uncommons were 3 per sheet, some cards were 2 per sheet, I think one of the land sets.
New to magic here. I absolutely love the art on these older cards. When I heard him say that these particular older cards weren’t worth that much I was like, “hey, now maybe that’s a box that I can buy!” eBay: $700-1200 Me: blast!
Posting to reddit right now that you admitted to resealing!
Emmett Chan, I'll up Karma it! I seent it!
*_*admitting intensifies*_*
wake up, he Added better cardz...
If you insert random cards into a FE box and reseal it, it would go up in value on average.
barath4545 Rudy should reseal a box of fallen Empires with Khan's of tarkir.
There's just something about 60 packs in a box that just....gets me in the mood.
60 shit packs with half the cards and no good cards.
New ace identity flag otw.

These old ass cards still look better than most of the stuff today in terms of quality.
*Also it is strange knowing these cards are older than most of the viewers on youtube.*
Older than me, just. Come to Europe we don’t have many quality control issues
dsagent so? Does that make u feel better than the rest? O.o
Analogue art > Digital art
I can't agree. Most old Magic cards had horrible art, and the bloated text boxes made the cards look even worse. I started learning MtG back in Arabian Nights, and I have some nostalgia towards those old borders, but the cards today look simply much better.
i actually doubt that latter part ^^

Geezus rudy, whenever i see wide shots of your pallets and pallets of merch...the more you seem like some sort of mystical lizardman with your treasure horde! you do take naps ontop of them right? ;)
Did you see his throne of booster boxes from his older videos? I imagine he eats food off of them.

They are climbing more lately.
I don't know the first thing about magic the gathering... But I watch so many of Rudy's videos I really feel like I'm a part of the community
Despite the collapse of the set, Fallen Empires is my absolute favorite set because it allowed me to make my first real tribal deck: fungus. To this day I still hunt down all the spore, fungus, and thallid cards to add to my decks.
Thank you, Rudy!
Dominaria had the best fungus cards since
conch horn the card you skimmed over like 5 times is the second most expensive card in the set and you put none aside :P
For all the crap the set gets it is still is one of my favorites as it represents some of my earliest experiences with MTG and will always have the nostalgia feels for me.
I love watching you open those old boosters,the illustrations of older cards are so cool,the new ones can't beat the classic when it comes to artwork.
I like the fact they just assigned cards to 3 different artists and we got to see their interpretations. Just doesn't happen anymore.

It's aged mechanics are definitely hit and miss, but for the time the joys of Diablo 2 were definitely unique and wonderful.
Even though Fallen Empires is a bad set, it's still a vintage MTG set from 1994. I love the old Magic cards.

Fallen empires now has a 10 dollar card. Only took how many years?
Reggaetonaldo Elvish Farmer just spiked, I think it has synergy with something from Dominaria
it's a Reserved Rare, and was still hovering just under Rainbow Vale. like it was already doing well for a Fallen Empires card. I don't think Dominaria has as much to do with it as being a Reserved List buyout in general.
You can sacrifice Saprolings for life, not the only can in the set that can sacrifice them for something however.
Why people are going for that one is beyond me however.
It's for the guru of spores... EDH combo that could potentially create infinite life.
Shouldn't there be a run on Mycologist as well then?
This is the most entertained I’ve been watching a booster box opening ever I love this

Hey Rudy, i think you missed a pack that fell just to the right of the crap stack. Just curious if you found it and opened it
11:36 "maybe if it had trample"....after just reading the card and stating it had trample...confirmed Rudy doesn't know how to magic
/whoosh
My favorite part is the bit in the beginning that cuts straight to the slamming of the box, telling you that it’s time.
No one in their right mind would reseal Fallen Empires. But we all have to remember Rudy isn't in his right mine #RudyResealed
I haven't played magic in like 15 years but I enjoy these videos
Fallen Empires opening, Homelands is super jealous right now.
ahah
The print run was so small for Legends in San Antonio TX all 10 gaming stores in town were limiting people to 4-6 boosters per person.
4:04 - "Hand of Justice. There we go"
wow, rudy, a 10 cent rare....
youre not going to convince anyone to buy all your fallen empire boosters...you wasted your money
my tought :D
there is litterly NO WAY you make anny money of this boxes
@@Roqxxx Rudys stuck in 1996, thinkin g Goblin Grenades are worth anything lol
with all the hype right now with fungus and saporlings in Dominaria, do you think any of the Fallen Empires cards will go up in value?
6:37 that chirurgeon is worth a couple bucks
Rudy, Where can I find your website to buy some reputable magic products
Pretty sure he missed elvish farmers. Which is 20% of the sets value.
Now, but it spiked in the last few days, prior to that Rainbow Vale was the most valuable card in the set. What's really funny is that spike cause the total sets value to increase by a third (by MTGGoldfish).
Say what you will about Fallen Empires; when it came out, if you were just starting, you could buy a box and build 2 or 3 playable casual decks with just it, Revised, and the Dark. Yeah, it was weak overall, but for it's time it wasn't a terrible set. And we have it to thank for Thallids.
Great, now Rainbow Vale is going to rise a buck or two after this!
I used to run a goblin deck back in the day. Those goblin grenades were THE BEST card to come out of that set! By the way, whatever happened to the Homelands expansion? No one ever talks about that set either...
I was so poor when i was younger, i had recently started playing MTG and was so excited when i found a full booster box i could afford - little did i know how awful this set was xD oh the memories
Hi! Do you have a online store? Or a brick and mortar?
You play POE!?
he even knows chris willson and did an interview with him, also he sold him mtg cards
Its not a bad game for sure... But, the real money traders have an usually high market depth. I have always thought that the real money traders have internal access to devs. $$$
PoE devs crack down on RMT in their game more than any other I've played. Many of my friends even got banned just for using D2JSP forums for trading items from one league to another using forum gold. Sure some may still exist but they are more diligent than anyone else about any kind of cheating or advantaged gameplay.

@@PresidentofAntifa The best way to combat RMT... is to do it yourself.
Thank you Rudy you're exactly right you're buying this for Nostalgia this was the first edition that I startd playing with.
#DIABLO2 LORD OF DESTRUCTION, one of best games of all time bro!
Maybe THE best game tbh
Daniel I don't disagree, but knew I might get crap if I stated that. I had a barbarian that had like 45k health and crazy resistance that couldnt die in PK. Also the hammerdin was badass...
Tmh Salina Took me a year to get my Necro from 97 to 98. Oh, I've wasted my life...😧
It is easily tied for my favorite game of all time with Bloodborne.
Wow agree 100%. Bloodborne is my favorite next gen game by a long stretch. An absolute masterpiece
Rudy I know with box openings you keep the bulk so what did you actually send the guy who bought this?
Isn't this box not expensive at all... have I just been pumped and dumped?
probably at least half the joke #endsarcasm
So did Chris Wilson trade the map for cards or did you buy a PoE supporter pack?
I'd draft that box lol
Fallen Empires was everywhere when I started playing. Love, love, love those cards--regardless of the "value." I always loved Castle Greyskull... er, Bottomless Vault, all the Thrulls and Thallids, and the Mark Tedin Mindstab Thrull artwork.
Homelands was the all time worst booster box of garbage
Zzygyy no fallen empires was worse
Homeland was known as the less powerful set of cards ever created in MtG. However, their design with all the legendaries families was so damn cool.
The reason my brother and friends got out of Magic, Fallen Empires, Ice Age and Homelands. We didn't want to keep paying for crappy cards with crappy mechanics. We would get together and buy 3 to 6 boost boxes at the time. $200 to $500 with no return in site. Wish I would have stayed around though.
Nice video Rudy, Fallen Empires have something that always is nice to watch... i don't know what is
Does Wizards of the Coast even put sexy women on their cards anymore?
Fire Elemental is smoking hot.
Nirkana Revanant is straight up nude.
Liliana of the Veil
They aren't allowed to anymore. SJW's complained cuz the sexy ones don't have blue hair
The first 2 cards are from the uncommon sheet, the "rares" were 1 per sheet, uncommons were 3 per sheet, some cards were 2 per sheet, I think one of the land sets.
where do u live my friend? exactly location pls incl. the times when u are gone😂😂😂
This brought back the memories of disapointment. I started just before Fallen Empire was released.
As of 4/23/18 Elvish Farmer is a 10 dollar card.
its like 6 on starcity and 4.30 tcg mid
tcg mid is 10.40, market price is the 4.28 price
....And it's Reserve List....Slimefoot the Stowaway made Saproling-related cards spike a bit.
Even non reserved list cards like saproling symbiosis spiked
New to magic here. I absolutely love the art on these older cards. When I heard him say that these particular older cards weren’t worth that much I was like, “hey, now maybe that’s a box that I can buy!”
eBay: $700-1200
Me: blast!
1800 now
