big shoutout to the neverender box set! isaw the book that says year of the black rainbow and instantly i thought hmmm coheed then i noticed the box!
🤘🤘 there’s more coheed merch on lower shelves. I’ll rotate them up soon!
Rudy’s pack openings are my favorite to watch, his joy is infectious.
They can be a blast!
Agreed :)
@@Vorniforouselaborate?
It's always a good time seeing Timmy's take a one way train to hose town.
He's a whale. The #1 problem with mtg
A black lotus was just recently sold for 3 million dollars
That’s so wild!! Imagine dropping that on a single card. Crazy.
@@MagicMetalMoney yeah that’s wild, some people have too much money lol
Right hand to god the Tabernacle was pulled in front of me. It was at a TCG called Red Seal Gaming in NJ. The guy who pulled it was selling his collection to pay for medical expenses and wanted to open one last pack. Was very happy for the dude.
That's crazy! Sounds like it couldn't have gone to a better dude. Thanks for the story!
it's on their fb page as well
Aaaah, the orphan crushing machine doing it's thing.
To pay for medical expenses...peak USA
@@TheIceCreamEmperorI know right. The number 1 cause of bankruptcy in the USA: having two conservative parties too weak to instigate universal healthcare
A personal favorite is watching the Professor open a single Legends pack at the end of one of his booster box game videos and pulling a Tabernacle as the first card.
Yo I haven’t seen that…. Searching now lol
Legend says that once you open a black lotus, the excitement is so intense you never feel any other emotion afterward.
😂😂 the ultimate high
yah i couldnt imagine turning over a card and i now know that i have a million dollars in my hand...
This video truly truly made my day. Thank you for this! Big fan!
Yo glad you enjoyed it!! 🤘
Awesome video dude! I have no idea about MTG so I really appreciated you adding the context to each pull and why it’s important/epic!
Makes me want to dip my toes into Magic…
Glad you enjoyed it!! Be careful… they call it cardboard crack for a reason 😂😂
I can listen to Rudy laugh genuinely from good pulls alllll day long.
My favorite is his original Modern Masters opening.
its not your ringtone?
I've never seen those two god starter packs opened, that's insane. This was a great video!
Was kind of expecting to see BadBoyGaming's Gaea's Cradle pull, Joey's reaction was so good there. Also was surprised to not see the actual God Pack pulled by Booster Therapy, afaik the only one that's ever been filmed.
Openboosters reaction to pulling that Lotus lives rent free in my head 😂
Beta god packs sound like an urban legend, crazy that they’re actually real!
Haven’t seen either of those videos, but they sound sweet! Could’ve made the list for sure!
Thats guy’s channel is called something like power 9 quest or quest for the power 9. Open boosters has also pulled a god pack or two from beta I believe.
that Openboosters alpha lotus.. I even say "holy bursh" in my day to day life
Really, *really* dig all the Co&Ca stuff behind you! Great M:TG content, keep on keepin' on!
Thanks, Phillip! I'm a sucker for Co&Ca collectible merch lol. Glad you liked the video!!
As someone who does not play Magic I can say I truly appreciate this. This is a very good channel, you speak clearly, you're funny, you explain everything perfectly using examples that I would understand (Sports). I'm 100% subscribing and I like everything you are doing. Very genuine and you seem very humble. Job well done sir!
Heyyyy! Appreciate the kind words. Glad to hear that as a muggle you could still relate to this!
Superb supercuts and good narrating!
Couldn't not notice the C&C box in the shelf behind you, so I put on a low-volume Coheed track in the background while listening!
Subbed!
Thanks - glad you liked it!
The thought of someone listening to Coheed while watching my video makes me smile! 🤘🐺🤘
You need more subscribers man, this was a really nicely put together video.
Appreciate it! I’ll keep grinding!
I had a great MH2 pack opening once, stopped into a gaming store I’d never been to before and which has unfortunately since closed, picked up a single MH2 set booster, pulled a Ragavan and a foil scalding tarn. I’ll never forget it
Woah, that is a solid pack! 🙊
I pulled a foil Ragavan and a Misty Rainforest from the same box.
@@MrMlev123 FIRE
the first four modern horizons 2 pcaks I opened all contained fetchlands ahaha, had really good luck with that set.
First time watcher, and I love the video. Only halfway through.
Glad to hear you’re liking it! 🤘🤘
I like your Coheed and Cambria Background! Great Musik! Thanks for your Video and greetings.
Thanks! I've got more Coheed merch that rotates through the background every few months lol. Glad you liked the video, Alexander!
That guy's shaking hands at #1. Love it.
Like Indiana Jones grabbing the Holy Grail
Great video! I loved the commentary and the countdown list of pulls, but I especially loved the Coheed and Cambria decorations! I'm a huge fan and even have a keywork tattoo. It's rare enough to find a fellow fan in the wild irl, but a whole other unicorn to find one on an unrelated UA-cam video. Subscribed!
Thank you - glad you liked the video!! Cohere is simply the best. Every few months I rotate the Coheed merch since it can’t all fit at once lol
I really enjoyed it when the Professor opened up Tabernacle.
I wish I would’ve known about then when making the list!
@@MagicMetalMoney Hehe.. It's this video with the time stamp for you. ua-cam.com/video/OVZBxPVaql0/v-deo.html
@@dashkataey1740 That's insane! GET THE SLEEVE lol
That 7 fetchland box of Khans was INSANE. I remember watching that video
Ha yeah, it really was bonkers!
I love watching Rudy he’s awesome asf his reactions are priceless!
The man knows how to get excited about sweet pulls!
Love to see BFW merch on a random recommended MTG video after being a long-time fan. Their guitarist/singer is cowriting our new album and they're just a great group of guys. Great job on the video as well - subscribed!
Welcome aboard! I had never heard of them until I saw them open for August Burns Red recently. They put on a great show! Crazy that a band that good has never toured the states before after almost 20 years. I talked to the guitarist at the merch booth - super nice dude. I bet it's super cool to work with him!
I've pulled some pretty sweet stuff over the years. I think my best one though is a Mox Diamond. Back when stronghold was still available in stores, I went to a shop looking for one for a deck. The guy didn't have any left in singles, so I decided to get two packs and try my luck. First pack I opened had it, the guy behind the counter couldn't believe it. So I paid something like less than 3 bucks for my mox diamond, still have it too!
That's frikken sweet! Love that you still have it - what a great piece to your collection!
"HOLY BOOROJUSHH"... the sound of the black lotus.
Lol he should put it on display in a box that has a button that makes that sound
BIFFF
This was well done. Thanks for posting. The only thing I would say is that the graded versions of these cards can sell for well over some of the prices you mentioned.
Thanks! It was a lot of work and fun to make! Very true, grading can add a premium 💰- great point!
Very well done video, I watched a few of these openings and it is nice to have them compiled together.
Appreciate it, Jeremy! It was a lot of work, but it was fun to make. Glad you liked it!
It's really funny seing people gush over cards we drew ourselves back in the day. I can still remember drawing a Timespiral and a Yawgmoths Will with my two boosters from my weekly allowance in one day. Didn't know what to do with it, because i was playing mono red.
If only we would’ve known back then… lol
Came for MTG, stayed for the band shirts. LOL
🤘
Ha that’s what I like to hear! 🤘🐺🤘
Great vid buddy 🤩
Thank you!! It took about 20 hours, so I’m glad you like it! 🤘
Hi, MTG North opened a mirror universe legend in DMU live. It was epic. Nice video
Glad you liked it! I didn't know about that at the time of making this. Maybe I'll include that in a part 2!
Love the coheed and cambria merch in the background.
I have to rotate it through the cycle since it can’t all fit 😅
Both Tabernacles were pulled from LGS in Sacramento CA, including one I saw opened by Elysium Cards and Games.
Lucky dogs!
The story of open boosters is so crazy. Guy said he would trade for sealed product over singles back in the day when they were inexpensive. Then he lost it all somewhere in life of being married, kids, etc. Then when moving he found it all either in his attic or storage (can't remember) and since he's "well off" aka doesn't need the insane amount of money for selling it, he just opens it on camera. Kudos to him for sharing it with us bc otherwise that black lotus could've forever been in that pack.
It’s so cool that he puts these openings on the internet for us all!
For the legends pull from Dominaria United, I actually have a family member that pulled the Tabernacle. They got it graded right away, thankfully they knew what it was on the spot.
Yo that's a lucky dog right there!
This reaction with the Lotus 🥹😂
At the Aether Revolt prerelease, I pulled out two Kaladesh Inventions (Chrome Mox and Extraplanar Lens) from the same 6-booster prerelease pack. Still the best opening in my life.
Are you serious?? I’ve never heard of two being in the same booster box, let alone same prerelease box. Amazing!!
Cool vid! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I opened an Urza’s Saga box in 1998 and pulled a Time Spiral and a Cradle. Still have the cradle : )
That’s awesome!
I recently watched a video where someone pulled the Tabernacle don’t remember the channel but it’s there!
Lucky dog!
Great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Maaan you really need to edit your video and add the Tabernacle pull from the professor. Totally worth it!
Awesome video btw (:
Ha yeah I had no idea he opened one until people mentioned it in the comments. Maybe I’ll make a part 2 some day and include it!
And thanks! Glad you liked it!
wow man great openings, love number 2 so much he really looks like he found some true joy. rudy is always the funniest
Glad you liked it!!
Good video mate. A few you missed. Openboosters opened a Eureka in a Dominaria United Collector Booster Box. There is also a video on Unhinged Magi of someone opening an Alpha Lotus in a Beta Starter box. 10% of the original Alpha rares were used in early Beta Starter Decks to save money back then which is wild to think about.
Glad you liked it! I never new there were alpha rares in beta starter decks. That's bonkers!
Had a friend pull an all gods Theros pack back in the day. I myself have had some exceptionally great pulls from many double masters 2, and the recent LOTR set (pulled a surge foil bucklebury ferry opening weekend, and an Elvish Sol Ring reskin ( 1:3000 version) the 2nd week.
Ooooo that elvish sol ring! 🔥
We had a local open a tabernacle. And then another 40 mins away a 2nd tabernacle.
No UA-cam openings but this is crazy how close they were to each other
Woah, that is crazy!
My best pulls were from both double masters. On a trip to Michigan, I found some packs of og Double Masters for their $15 a piece and grabbed 3. The first pack had a foil doubling season. The second was a textured emerakul out of double masters 2022 which i sold for $300.
I got a foil prismatic vista at its peak in price but I never sold it and it’s now like $36 rip
Holy smokes that’s legit!
My coolest "pack openings" are that across the 6 drafts I did of Battle for Zendikar over a few weeks, I opened expedition lands in 3 of them. Hallowed Fountain twice and Polluted Delta. One guy happened to be in all 3 drafts with me. When I opened the third he just completely lost it.
That's completely insane! Those BFZ expeditions are soooo beautiful!
Recently pulled a full art imperal seal and phrexian alter from one double masters booster, that was pretty dope, then also got a esper sentinel from modern horizons later that week.
Not a bad week!
Love the BFW shirt! Them boys put on a hell of a show
I had never heard of them until I saw them live earlier this year. They were awesome! Listened to Shrine at the gym literally this morning lol.
My brother had a Beta Black Lotus in the 90's paid around 100 bones for it...Bet he wish he didn't sell it a year or two later. Thanks for the memories. Of course when I was a kid my big pulls were Force of Nature, Serra Angel, and Shivan Dragon. Fun times.
Ha that's wild! If only we could tell the future... Serra Angel will always be special. Such a nostalgic card.
i once pulled a foil chimney imp and a storm crow in the same pack. best day of my life.
Hahaha amazing
If you pull a power 9, please just let it drop on the table. In your excitement you are going to bend it. That's the most never racking part of watching this. Please put it down. Also, watching these makes me want to kick myself a million times for selling my magic cards 15 years ago.
Imagine opening a piece of power 9 and smashing the corner into the table 😱
Anyone else poop themselves when that gentleman squeezed the Black Lotus? I was worried he creased it
😱💩
That Bleed From Within shirt though!
🤘🤘I had never heard of them but saw them open for August Burns Red recently. Amazing show! BFW are awesome!
15:12 holy Bish… openboosters was excited to say the least lol.😂
Haha that’s for sure!
I can confirm, opening a Zendikar Rising collectors and pulling 5 Expeditions is something else
Jealous but happy for you lol
My first ever booster draft. I got a foil Watery Grave and Foil Windswept Heath. Still have them to this day.
That's fire! Glad you kept those! I'm sure the sentimental value is HUGE.
Unfortunately wasn’t able to record it because I was at work on my break, but I pulled a neon red hidetsugu from a single kamigawa collector booster I picked up when I got my lunch.
Woah! Not a bad lunch break!
My heart dropped when i saw the nick on the Lotus in the upper right. That is a 5 figure scuff.
😱 😱 😱
Anyone who has played has one or two stories of insane boxes or packs. I have several myself. A triple mythic SOI booster. Playing the Booster Box game IRL during Kaladesh release weekend. I kept hitting a Chandra over and over. It allowed me to open 5 boxes and land 2 masterpieces. Or a box of Onslaught giving me a foil Delta. But the one that made me cry was 3 packs from a Walmart. Two were Commander Masters, while the other was a lone pack of Double Masters. I ended up with a Jeweled Lotus and a Mana Drain from the former, while the latter disappointed with a foil Force of Will. All of my luck for life was used that day.
Foil delta! 🔥🔥
Bleed from Within lets absolutely fucking go
🤘🔥🤘 those guys know how to put on a show!
@@MagicMetalMoney 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Rudy's stronghold box with multiple sliver queens and mix diamond is still the true goat
Wait what?? I haven’t seen that. Might have to do a part II.
One tabby was pulled locally during prerelease weekend.
That’s awesome! I bet the store went wild!
My local game store pulled a Tabernacle. Elysium Games in Fair Oaks, CA.
That's legit!
I bought probably 2+ cases of Khans, and opened all of it. I opened a box almost identical to the one Rudy opened. Khans was bananas.
I miss khans lol
opened a lot of these, back in the day. they were common.
Andrew Schrock is such a genuine and kind guy and i used to watch his skate channel a LOOOTTT. He wrote a book about his childhood and he used to play a ton of magic as a kid before getting into skating. Its so fucking cool to see him hit two god packs of beta. He definitely deserved it with all the good karma hes put out into the world
I had no idea he was a skater. I’ve only seen a few of his magic videos, and he’s got a great vibe. Seems like a solid dude. I’ll have to check out more of his videos!
mtgnorth opened a mirror universe from dominaria united
Awesome!
Fyi, Wizards reprinted the Power 9 in the limited edition 30th anniversary boxes that they sold last year.
Technically correct (the best kind of correct lol)
Such a big fan of Rudy, i was there on the video release and i freaked out when he dropped this video, i watched it 3 times with friends! I didnt know that alot of people dont like Rudy to much, he's my role model to strive for *timmy drops the mic on left nut*
i still remember vividly when my group pulled a MTG 2010 baneslayer angel. we played the shit out of it.
Haha love that!
I just scene bleed from within at august burns red show last night in Cincinnati they were great!
I had never heard of them until I saw them open for ABR a couple months ago in Raleigh. Didn't they put on an awesome show??
@@MagicMetalMoney yea they were awesome..was my 10 year olds first concert we had a great time!prada’s one of his favorite bands even ran into mike hranica afterwards got a picture with him!
@@MrRalph789 That's awesome! Great lineup for your kid's first show! Prada is great!
That Bleed From Within shirt though
They're too good! Sad I only recently heard of them!
that guy opening up the mox sapphire needs to change his pants 🤣🤣🤣
I remember being a kid in 1995 or so at our hobby town playing magic on a friday night and a guy came through with I think a beta black lotus. Even then it formed a crowd and everyone talked about it all night.
Amazing. I’m feeling the nostalgia in this story!
There was a tabernacle pulled in Brooklyn, I was there to witness, just wasn't recorded.
Lucky dog! Seems like a few have been pulled from people like yourself commenting. A couple other people mentioned one in California.
Prof pulled the tabernacle in domanaria
On snap! Haven’t seen that!
Never saw your channel before, but this was a heartwarming, nicely made video!
Ive known Rudy since 50 subs and OB since 2016 or so.
Love em both, the beta god pack was a bit of a a "Is this legit" or pre-packed beta boosters sealed for likes.
But I guess Andrew is legit and just had a lot of cash.
Thanks - glad you liked it!
Unbeknownst to me when making this, seems like the beta god pack has some controversy. But if it's legit, it's super crazy!
@@MagicMetalMoney He's a genuine guy. Popular skating youtuber and, apparently, wealthy enough to afford opening beta packs. In one of his videos, Tavis King commented recognizing his openings as legit.
@@odoacredacalcutta5085 legit!
@@MagicMetalMoney yea dude owns a skate company , used to buy his stuff back when i would skate.
The manager at the store where I play pulled a Mirror Universe - that's the best card I've seen pulled out of the 3%
That's solid!
Imagine if the one ring opening would been recorded.
If only!!! 🔥
I love the Bleed from Within swag, saw them live in Raleigh a few months ago, sick band!
DUDE!!! I had never heard of them before until I saw them open for ABR… in Raleigh!!! Just moved here last year, and this was my first metal show since the move. That show was sooo good!
@@MagicMetalMoney NO WAY! Small world. That was my first metal show ever! Do you ever hang at Atomic Empire in Durham?
@@achieverheel6976 I haven't been there yet. I usually draft or play modern for FNM at Game Theory Duraleigh. I haven't been for a little while due to my newborn daughter, but I plan to start getting back at it soon! (once she can sleep through the night lol)
I need to go to Atomic to check out their comic book stuff.
@@MagicMetalMoney Sounds awesome! I hope to run into you sometime
@@achieverheel6976 Definitely say hi if you see me! 🤘
awesome video! SUBBED!
Thanks! Welcome aboard!
I pulled a karakas in my DU collector box pretty cool
That’s sweet! I’m not jealous….
I watched a buddy open a Karakas out of one. Only Legends card I saw opened out of a DU pack and it was an actual decent pull.
@@steventhrasher3608 Legit!
Nah, you didn't. They only had "B" boxes in that warehouse and Karakas, and Mana Drain are only found in "A" boxes. It was a correlation error when legends was printed.
I was not expecting to see Andy. I didn't realize he was that into Magic.
Ha I didn't know he was a skater until someone mentioned it in the comments! A man of many interests!
I subbed because of the coheed box set
We are one among the fence!
Holy Brsh!!
Lol I read that and thought it was a typo. But then I said it out loud and knew exactly what you were talking about! 😂🌸
Nice shirt!
Thanks! I had never heard of them until I recently saw them open for August Burns Red. They were awesome!
If only Brook Trafton had opened The One Ring on camera, that would have been it, but we all know how much that sold for lol
Oh man if that was on camera 🔥
hey man i loved the video. Am I able to submit a video of me pulling an alpha black lotus?
Glad to hear it! If you got that on video, link it!
I dont have it on youtube is there an instagram or facebook I can send it to?@@MagicMetalMoney
Dude straight up came opening the beta booster
Back in the beginning I bought a Black Lotus + 2 Moxes for $200. They were not mint, but tournament playable.
Geez! If only I could go back…
@@MagicMetalMoney there is a man who paid a pizza 14,000 bitcoins. nothing will ever top that
I pulled around 8 fetch’s from a box including 2 arid mesas and 2 foil misty rainforests
Woah! Feels good.
Yesterday i had to buy a bundle of MotM for my nephew, had only cash for one. So i bought just 2 booster packs for myself: Ragavan and Blightsteel colosus, one in each pack. Nothing tops the poor mans pulls. xD
That’s what we call double goodness!
First unlimited starter deck (way back in time, must have been before 2000) had Mox Jet (traded it away in an instant) and Serra Angel. That 4/4 no tap flyer was for me the FAR better card than the "useless" zero mana artifact which did nothing but giving you mana.
Hahaha what are you gonna do with a “weird land” compared to an ANGEL!?
How much for alpha booster pack?
At our Prerelease for OG Ravnica we had Packs only containing Rares (German), on the other side i was present when someone opened an OG Ravnica Box containing only commons. I dont know if Boxes with only Uncommons exist but i could imagine.
That’s fascinating! Imagine getting a pack with only commons 😢
@@MagicMetalMoney He was pretty pissed i can tell you that^^
The guy who opened the god box is a huge skateboarding youtuber xD
Instantly recognised the God Pack guy. It's Andy Schrock. Been watching his YT skateboard vids for YYEAAAAAARRRRSSS.
Ha the man had many talents!
Coheed in sight!

Man your own jackhammer!
