I went to the barber and said "give me the Rudy cut." He went to the back, came out and started hitting me with a card binder full of Desolate Lighthouses.
Desolate Lighthouses will spike in value cuz rudy is so e famous now if u get one with a rudy signature let it marinate for 20 years bam 10-20k at least
Should have been a cheap binder of failed buyout Lotus Petals. Lighthouse wouldn't get the full volume you needed. Also, if no limited edition signed Timmy land, your repack was not a success. So you should consider going back again for a trim to possibly get an Authenticate Altered card worth $0.
My concern is the shift to flashy, collector's products reminds me of how the Comics Industry looked in the late 90's. You could buy five different variant covers of a book that was poorly drawn and written. If WotC loses their focus on gameplay, it's all over.
In Professor Rudy Class... The Curriculum is Tight!! The Floppy Tacos are Soft!! And Hot Dogs are Thrown Down the Hallway!! School is In Session Little Timmy!!
Been in mtg since 1995, and ever since wotc printed a brand new product every 3-4 months. The only new thing know is the different versions of the "same" product. I hated and still hate the introduction of new expansions at a very fast pace, and now...
The sports card industry has had direct-to-consumer singles sales for a few years now (they started experimenting with it in the early 2000s). People still go crazy for sealed product. Secret Lair doesn't scare me. Fetchlands as ONLY being a premium product, and numbered/stamped/signed cards -- which aren't really going to be able to be used in a deck -- do scare me. The product needs to be predominantly geared toward game play, not collectibility. Get rid of some of the trash reprints that appear in EVERY set (Titanic Growth, 2/2 Bears, etc.). Make 5-card packs where every card is conceivably useful and eliminate all of the fluff that just ends up in the trash. Better product and less waste.
Getting rid of cards that are always printed in sets would lower the set size. Even with less cards a pack. Eventually you'll get duplicates which at that point you'll toss them away as trash(waste). Also if people are going to buy numbered/stamped/signed cards that'll never be played with. How is that an issue? A fool and their money is soon parted.
What about Draft? Even though I don't like the idea of somewhat useless vanilla creatures, those cards are essential to playing draft. Yes you could make some of those cards just be a better version of it, but I don't think that you can fill whole sets without having some fillers. Not gonna lie, I don't like fillers, but they seem necessary.
@@Colorado0091 They are making normal packs be draft packs and also they'll see special packs that aren't used for drafting that would be more efficient in not getting the fluff.
If you asked people in the silver age of magic, they probably would've said the silver age ended when they changed the card frame and had to ban standard cards with Mirrodin, and think they were living in the Bronze age already. But then it got worse and they reevaluated things lol
We are entering the Renaissance of Magic: the Gathering. Art is King and the different variants whether it be an alternate artwork, extended art, or even the fairy tale style from Throne will be how we remember these times.
Your the sole reason I started playing magic. I've been watching your videos for about a year. Finally subscribed some time ago. You tried to pressure me into becoming a patron before I even knew If I wanted to play. I've been playing MTGarena for the last month now and I'd love to be a patron to gain access to your products. I hope you consider this as you created a new player 😋 for that cheesy taco crunch
So what formats will be accessible for organized play for the typical magic player in this new era? Just draft/sealed deck with bulk common/uncommon cards only plus pauper?
it is interesting to note that Original Zendikar was released exactly 10 years after Mercadian Masques (the first set without reserved list cards in it)
Its the Diamond Age. Like De Beers, WotC is engineering an artificial market demand for a product with emotional/prestige value, while still retaining the same practical value. Also like De Beers, WotC controls the market supply and can artificially maintain demand through single sourcing. Its kind of brilliant, honestly.
Totally understand your logic Rudy . Being an avid action figure collector myself the 70s were the Golden age .. the 80s the silver age and the 90s were the Bronze Age if action figure collectibles. after about 2002 toys were never the same
I got back into magic THIS year from getting my cards all stolen after alliances/mirage era and I freaking HATE this. I hate there's so many "tiers" of product to get the good cards, instead of you know, pulling them. The return to Spendikar with its booster and now SUPER boosters AND collector boosters? Can we just have one product face per set? And not a new set every 3 months with half of the cards from older sets being re-re-re-released, it feels like if you do anything but buy the cards you want directly a set later, you're just letting them bleed you. It's depressing, as fun as commander has been since I've been back
Dear Rudy, after much pleading and cajoling, I finally managed to get my mom to come down to the basement to watch one of your videos, so as to convince her that you have the wisdom and expertise necessary to provide advice and orientation on how to best employ our family finances in the most gainful way while investing in luxury cardboard . . . but your hair is not helping. She watched for a couple of minutes and gave up with the comment that you look like someone that would come on cable TV trying to convince everyone that "it's aliens."
Yo Rudy thanx so much for informing us and constantly asking these videos. Also let’s call the new age the Sapphire Age due to all the flashy new cards.
I genuinely believe in 5 years time WAR-Commander Legends will be looked back on very very positively as I reckon were done on collectors boxes soon and I reckon they’ll slow down Secret Lairs next year. Thoughts 🤷🏼♀️ (this is based on the “rumours” that Hasbro told WOTC to pump out products for 2019/2020 and the fact that wallet fatigue is beginning to set in a lot more over here in the UK Edit: I never clarified lol, it will be looked back on positively as the wallet fatigue will wear off and we will have all of these promos to look back on and use without having to constantly think about the next flashy product. Also I included WAR in this for the Japanese alternate art walkers.
Agreed, I think secret lair like once a month max... I waited 5 months for gods, I understand the pandemic but other products were still made and delayed. instead of stopping till they could print and Fill old orders got a lot of people mad.
I think about these things for tech, collectibles, actual eras, etc. So I will break it down: Before mtg was a thing but it was being conceptualized and prototyped, was The Stone Age. Then came the first runs with basic interest at a trade con where some liked the cards, and many, believe it or not, was tossing em at the convention. This was shortly before the cards were released but then they blew up in popularity; this was both the copper/bronze age and the Golden Age of Magic (alpha, beta, unlimited and arabian nights). Then came the iron age/silver age very quickly when antiquities, revised, legends, Dark, had come out already. But finally the tackier plastic age occurred when money grubbing created what are still considered by some as the worst sets but also sets many of us loved cause they WERE so cheap ( Fallen Empires and Homelands). However some semblances of reason were left, and 4th edition kept things rolling in a good way, along with Ice Age, which was a beautiful set that healed some of the damage done. Then in true balancing fasion Chronicles was released which many though insane, but it, again, was good for those of us that missed most of the cards from previous sets. And it was more affordable. Mirage was cool though many still consider it racist from some viewpoints, leading to the first truly "ethnic" based set after Arabian Nights and its middle eastern motif. But one could argue they were all part of whatever age; gold/silver, bronze, whatever. The fact is that by August 1999 when Starter came out, Hasbro brought the company, and that was the end of the tumultuous but awesome "OG" period of classic MTG I and many others witnessed. Things began to cool for some as interest dwindled ( card pun, look it up lol) and one could say all the types of era references would be superfluous. The sets of the last 10 years though, are beyong labeling with noble metals, or even copper, bronze or iron, and are more likely to be loosely associated with steel of plastic. WHom cares lol. CIAO! :P
I got into magic as this new flashy era began, so it doesn't negatively affect me although I will say going back to older sets is always a blast since I never experienced them
It's not just that there are too much. When they printed to oblivion the singles value dropped, but the box itself is low in price. Now, we can't get a full monty of each card as easily, and enjoy the art of the game. It is not too much. It's too expensive.
As someone who started playing magic by buying 4 Fallen Empires boosters and 2 Ice Age starters, I reject the framing of the golden age running from 93-99. 95-96 was the dark ages. 93-94 is the golden age, 97-99 was the renaissance
I really enjoy getting sealed product....it takes a lot of energy to not open them and what stops me is the excitement of knowing I can make a bunch of money on those items later in life...Worst case, if they aren't worth a soggy taco, I open them all and have a killer time doing it.
Officially debt free as of today! Hell yes, my life of investing is showing the fruit of my taco‘s! So excited that I did it and even came out with almost excellent credit score too! Sweet floppy taco I am excited to make my next smart financial decision‘s!
I’ve been a buyer and seller for most of my life. I began to find success when I learned to buy what I like, because once it’s mine, i might have this thing for a long time.
I got into MtG right at the very beginning of the silver age, played from 00-07 then got back in 2017 but pretty much out of it now. It was kind of wild seeing the difference in pack price from silver age & bronze age product given the print run. My LGS had RTR/Theros block packs for the same price as the current stuff up into 2019... Whatever this new era is called I think we're going to see a shift of the folks that would crack a box going to just buying singles.
WAR and ravnica guilds/allegiance actually had collector boxes. The mythic edition was the first time they tried to introduce a special high end box. The market rejected it and on core 19 they didnt had them anymore. Throne of eldraine finally came up with the collector boxes as we know them today. In the beginning these were kinda meh as well so wizards put more rare slots in the upcoming collectors. I think especially the shiftover sets like war of the sparks and both of the ravnicas have huge potential to get overseen in the short term what makes it a great opportunity. Especially these mythic edition boxes are very rare. I think the flashy aera nowadays is going to end soon, so these will be a great opportunity too. Thanks for the realtalk videos Rudy and keep the funky hair rockin
For the first time ever it is legitimately different now, there is a real chance that non premium paper magic cards might end and what that does to the market no-one knows.
Really, the expeditions et al. should have been the warning sign for the end of the Bronze age. We knew that Wizards was trying to add more flashy things into their product at that time.
This is "The Box Topper Era." Keep it simple. They tested it with Ultimate Masters, then they went full steam ahead and did Thrown of Eldrain and implemented the Box topper in booster boxes with Ikoria.
