Refunding the person with the worst pull is such an insanely nice thing to do for the community of people buying in.
Only person who actually won free land and he got the content 👌
Wubby, please don't stop till every market available alpha pack is opened.
This is the way.
I mean really just doing gods work
i would love to see this become a reality. Yes those holding packs would generate more value but these crds should be opened and displayed. Also it will reduce the number of chances for people to make fakes as the market cap dwindles and people become less willing to buy
I am pretty sure I can explain the tape. People like to shake starterts to make sure there is no lose cards inside and instead a properly sealed starter. The tape would make it sound right.
I think it was from the factory
@@TombstoneTony yeah some kind of factory tape or something
@@fxnska As a former WOTC employee, I can confirm it was factory tape!
@@BayouBillyBonesJR storys from the paulaner garden
@@BayouBillyBonesJR the only thing that makes me question this was the condition of the factory tape was fresh!!! I know 3M didn't make sweet tape like that in the early 90s.
Well, must admit the geek as I am, this was actually an important opening! A few years ago, I made replica Alpha print sheets with the help of data gathered by The Collation Project and watching every single Alpha product opening video I could find. In the end I had to make a best guess for the artwork of one of the mountains on the uncommon sheet (I never found an opening covering that area of the sheet), this opening finally confirmed I guessed correctly 😂 Also, for what it’s worth, there are three island rares in Alpha on the rare sheet, the one you opened is the one that is replaced in Beta with Volcanic Island. The version of the art was unknown for many years until a Beta starter with Alpha rares was opened maybe two years ago - I believe this is the first time it’s been seen from an Alpha pack!
this stuff is fascinating to me
@@arc-sd8sk Literally watched moistcritical open an alpha deck yesterday and I went down a rabbit hole of MTG openings. I literally have never played Magic in my life before LOL
if there's no tape, its not an official alpha starter pack
Tape on the cards, or on the mat you're opening the cards on?
@@Reblwitoutacause Underrated joke
If there is no tape, no tokens, and no spanish cards it isn't real
I thought the tape was on the outside of the plastic at first. I hate that they did that.
12:40. This has been your weekly "We have to go back to the island, Jack" checkin.
this week's was a good one
This is why I think there shouldn’t be a single box left unopened. I get that having an unopened box is a finite thing and there’ll be a point where there’ll be only a handful left, making them even rarer, BUT if those boxes aren’t cracked, then what if the last 5 “unopened” alpha starter decks in the world are actually filled with fucking Wyvern cards and Italian magic cards. There’s NO guarantee anymore that you have what you think you have until you open it
The only reason not to open them, is to artificially inflate the market, and create a fraudulent market where scams are possible. It's like diamonds and watches, literally worthless, but people think they're rare so they've got inflated market value from artificial scarcity. The unopened packs should organically increase in value as they're naturally opened over time, to purposely hold them unopened because of their value is purely a weird capitalist thing, and it births all these scams and frauds, etc.
The only boxes that should be left unopened are the people who bought them originally. They know beyond a doubt they don't have fakes and they can just let that shit appreciaaaate.
Bro he’s literally not even wearing oven mitts
let him cook, nay... let him BAKE
So funny I was wondering where Wubby went, dont really watch the streams but really enjoyed his content. Then I saw him on the Critical steam. Nice to see you still doing well and doing what you love!
Lmaooo the purr after you said he's Italian and made a gagging sound, cat was definitely agreeing with you and mocking him also 🤣
YO, the phone call edit with the phone voice in the beginning was incredibly well done. Good shit, Ry. That sorta shit is tough to fit in well
12:38 "i´ve looked into the eye of the island, and what i saw was beautiful!"
IMAGINE if the taped pack was the one you took to Charlie. FML.
Your personality and funny noises you make and the little jokes and the editing is why I’m going to subscribe
This video is literally a follow-up after watching Critikal's stuff. Maybe you should chase that Neon Red Hidetsugu.
Latex gloves make you lose sensibility in the fingers and can grip on edges and corners without you realizing. Jesus Christ people who complain about bare hands handling cards are clueless.
Oil, leftover pee?
@@PlatinumAbra do you not wash your hands properly before handling expensive cards? Wtf leftover pee
@@15000000th splash damage on your hands, never happened to you? Do you just let it hang?
@@PlatinumAbra you're either a troll or a neckbeard... I'd put my money on both though
@@PlatinumAbrapiss in your hands and lay it in the toilet gently
That’s Factory Tape.
Edgar Scandurra is the name of some Italian dude that is in the Guinness Word Record Book for smashing 78 watermelons in a minute.
I'm dying.
can we just recognize how stand up of a guy wubby is for refunding that island rare?
I have a fewling that most of the alpha starters that are for sale these days have the rare island because the packs were mappable.
Shout out to the Italians! Wooby Wooby Wooo!!!!
Just saw you on Charlie’s channel. I’m hooked on watching this content. I just wish Charlie was in more of them. Good stuff.
hey wubby! newish viewer, loving the content and it's getting me back into magic again. I've been playing since 2013, penny sleeves and hard loaders are typically what I roll with for shipping inside a bubble mailer. I truly appreciate what you do!
I watched your pack break on Charlie's channel last week. Never thought this would be so exciting to watch.
I bought a full shoebox of used, of what I now know as alpha cards, thanks to you, about 11 years ago. I spent about 20 bucks on it. Do you think it might be worth more now? They clearly are not mint, but they are not in bad shape either. They still remain in the same shoebox in my closet.
Does anyone else here know who Olan Rogers is on UA-cam? Wubby sounds EXACTLY like him when he gets excited and I can't unhear it
Living Lands is actually next after the OTHER island art on the rare sheet. This may not have been legit after all (except that it's Alpha, some of those were hand packed).
I love the idea of opening cards and wearing gloves for the first time... but every stream it gets more and more comical. First its simple lab gloves, then gloves that go up to the elbows, and then eventually it gets to the point where he goes "Alright, it's time to open cards" and he starts putting on a full hazmat suit and brings the camera to a sterilized room.
The snap back to reality got me weak😭😭😭
I'm so for wubby opening all these products cause HOLY!!! Screw these scammers.
he didn't hft before the pack so it was destined to be fake
i had no idea wubby had a magic channel this channel is so cool
I hope AncestralMTG sends you a factory taped Italian deck at some point as a joke.
The Factory Tape Incident will go down in mtg history
I’m here for the personality. The card pulls are a bonus
That Demonic Tutor is awesome, respect for that!
The bearded ginger is into Sinder redhead egirl 😂 I CAN'T LOL
Yes we will re binge Wubby content and no they can’t stop us!
That Alpha foil, though... WOW!! 😮🤯🤣🤣🤣
It's my favourite Alpha card, ..."Spanish ?!??!" you've made my day !! 🤣
Damn sitting right there on ancestrals website $100,000 alpha starter deck. Insanity, I can't wait to see how much they get to if they're only at 100k seems kinda low even still. Hopefully they remain reputable maybe I'll afford one someday.
And then he touches me with his bare hands smh
Better than him fumbling them with slippery gloves. Just let him be man. Everyone who bought in knows exactly how he handles the cards.
Most of the popular high end card youtubers do not use gloves as they make movement impercice and the chances to damage the card by handling it is actually higher than with hands.
@@LewdnCute re-read that my man, whooooooooooosh
@@saltystorm8806 My bad, brain auto filled me to them 😅 I leave it for anyone else who wants to laugh at me.
@@LewdnCute Yeah just let him be the one to touch me with his bare hands smh
This is the only channel when a add comes on im like "its ok, i appresiate what ur doin." 😊
Tavis is such a Legend! So important for everyone! Amazing
Thanks! 🙂
I would love to see someone pull a black lotus and just rip it to shreds. Would honestly be the most iconic moment in MTG history.
It was actually Mengucci
Mamma mia, quel cazzo.
Pristine 10 power? Unreal it was so good looking
The guy in the comments 15:25 "The Fibre Guy" "Hey Broski, I ordered a load of merch, when should I expect to receive it?" Literally asking this in the middle of a 120,000 dollar pack opening. Like the dude is gonna stop and look at your peanuts of a merch order. People seriously live in their own tiny little world.
to really further twist the knife on the repack all those italian bulk cards with the cut corners also technically count as damaged
also I'm still malding over the ad card the scammer threw in
I don't even care about magic but this guy is a vibe😂😂😂😂
You're doing the lords work man. How many more of these fake alpha boxes are you going to pop. I hate thinking that these almost could have sat on someone's shelf as a prized possession.
Thanks for being the vessel for this history to be unlocked!
watching this live was a rollercoaster
That Edgar guy is active in a lot of MTG groups on facebook as recent as the 21st of this month, might want to warn some people about him if he's the same guy
Where are these LIVE Streams!??? Are they on Twitch and not UA-cam?
Wubby streams exclusively on Twitch. He does Magic on Mondays, I believe.
correct, the the Magic content is streamed typically on Monday on Twitch
Streamed on Twitch like the other guys already said, but the Wubby Archive Channel here on UA-cam also has the streams in their entirety, usually uploaded within a day or two of the stream.
7:40 Italian actually (my language), which probably for Magic is worth even less than Spanish yeah?
"one of the ugliest cards ever printed" funny, I think the art is stellar
"It got lost in the mail" 😂 awesome stuff, thanks man. God bless. Jesus loves you!
That Klug Altar is incredible 10/10
I don't even play MTG, but man do I love these videos lol
5:02 I didn't even notice the tape untill he said it, i saw that the colour of the cards seemed off...
the tape was applied by richard garfield himself
Got a taped card alpha repack and paper towel desk guy in the same week…
Does anyone know how I can watch the opening he did with Charlie?
youtube channel MoistCritical, it was posted a couple hours ago.

Mox emerald I wish I would have never traded that card. I do still have a lot of older cards but even know it wasn’t in the best shape or the best mox to own
It makes me cry that I used to sit in the local card shop and play 90% of these cards and just tossed them.
Bro idgf about magic but that cat part got me. Subbed
My favorite part of the Alpha starters is the TAPE!
Dude can really roll his Rs, gets me worked up 9:36
I swear he nailed it, Wubby Lunedì Magico quando?
Wubby is going to literally Rapture and transcend this mortal plane when he finally opens a Lotus.
So were all Alpha starter decks random? There was no pre-constructed deck?
Yeah. Just a fixed amounf of commons, uncommons and 2 rares. Just random cards
Must be really rare because I never seen any of those alpha cards in the first deck
WOOT WOOT CIRCUMCISEEDDDD! 🙌🏻
This took me back to when i was 14 🙏
Rip the dude that got green ward in between swords to plowshares and berserk lol
Wubby Magic Monday, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
?????
fort nite
Every alpha starter deck needs to be channeled thru wubby first.
There is always something with these boxes. Never seen tape in a box.
wizards of the tape
Card crack going all around. I am doing One Piece TCG, Wubby would you do other TCGs you are into or friends or fans?
Days are numbered EDGAR
how does mapping packs work? in preliminary searching I am unable to find any information on doing so
I found this guide by some Italian dude "how to repack MTG Alpha starter deck" pretty interesting video time to make bank
I still get sad when i think of my Alpha berserk i played raw back in 1996ish.. sold it as part of my entire collection for about 100$ in 1997..
How does a person get in on these breaks
what sheet is he talking about at the end? like an uncut sheet or something?
This stream Was so hilarious i was crying the whole time
21th wubby video woo. Can't believe my boi got the rare double tape rare.
Thanks for sharing the cool openings
The tape is necessary to seal in the alpha flavor
Are those prices listed when graded
were there even one pack that actually covered the buy price after opening? 9k vs 120k is kinda sad no matter what. Does wubby makes money on it or is it only fun purpose and the cash flows through sponsors/patreons?
Doing god's work opening these with guarantees, these scammers should not feel remotely safe doing the garbage they do.
Who’s the artist he is talking about
Did unsummon always have that typo or is that a misprint
Dude if you're not already, you should be in a metal band
The very ending 😂😂
Did CGC ever grade that tape duo?
Rare island is maximum pain.
