I'm gonna miss these videos, the constant nail on the chalkboard of Rudy putting commons with uncommons, not setting aside normal mythics, the deceitful video titles.... Good times.
It's also hard to get a regular foil of Therese's Force of Will. I do think the showcases are good to hold and/or play if you unpack them considering how hard some are to pull, which says a lot. If you think about it there isn't much more they can go from here. If Jace comes back in a masters two years from now as a showcase, they'll likely go with new borderless art next time. Jason Chen's will always be priceless.
"Were the really bad? Looking back even the worst was okay" procedes to get a map of head goblin and immediate goes into "oh no" I think that answered the question if even the worst pull was "okay"
i think he meant from stores like Target and Walmart most likely. they're out of print meaning wizards won't make them anymore, so what game stores local or online have is probably it
Bad news for Rudy's story that WotC pretends he is a figment of the imagination of a drunken harmonica peddler with seven left thumbs or whatever: I'm filling out a "why do you play Magic" survey right now, and Alpha Investments is one of the options for "Which of the following English Magic podcasts, livestreams, or video channels do you follow?" By the way, the VIP video series is lots of fun.
Mox Avenger, I was born in 1974. But 1968 was a horrible year in America and Vietnam for civil unrest and violence. Worse than 2020 by far, but minus a pandemic of course.
opened this in a new tab and it played for 4 seconds before i paused it to finish the current video that im watching. . seconds later my wife from the other room goes- "what are you watching ?"
Mana Crypt has been MIA for a while now.. seems to be one of the hardest pulls in the set. Force of Will seems like a more common pull than Jace or Mana Crypt.
Yeah, from videos here and of other content creators, force of will duplication seems quite common. Avacyn, mana crpyt, mox opal, and Jace are the ones I almost never see pulled. Where Force of Will seems to come up more often than it should. At this point, I expect more than one force of will in every case.
Here is the absurd part in all this. It took the old cards years to age and mature to elevated prices. Now we are expected to pay top dollar right out of the gate. No time for maturing no time for aging and steady climbing. No chance to get these cards at reasonable prices. Don't you think it is odd that all these old cards were found in regular booster packs yet WOTC only prints them again in " special VIP packs " How is a kid, a kid like I was a kid like Rudy was going to get in on these cards? Now I am not saying this as a socialist, or a commie I love the capitalistic system, but we need to take a step back. Wizards made money back in the day selling $3 packs, you me and thousands of folks like us got these cards and in time they became worth something. Now Wizards just wants all our money, faking that they don't look at the secondary market that me and you created. This is not business this is thievery! They want in on a market that others created, by buying, selling trading collecting. There is no secondary market any more at this pace it's just Wizards, you can pretend that the reserve list is safe, its not. Once they kill the regular market the vultures will come after the older cards watch!
These cards have non foil regular frame/art alternatives that are tanking in price making them affordable after a looong time. I picked several singles and filling up lots of gaps in my collection. You're not required to buy the VIP packs. These are for collector whales or card stores and has an impact on the secondary market making regular cards cheaper and introducing special versions as new high end to collect
@@exxonrcg When you have the regular force of will going for 100 bucks out the gate that is not affordable. I can afford it by the way to make believe that everyone can fork over 100 bucks for brand new none foil card is not reasonable. You have a vested view, you just picked up some cards in your collection are not looking at this objectively. It's not just the fact that the card is 100 bucks out the gate, it's the fact that you can't pull enough of these to get a playset, unless you happen by sheer luck to pull 3 of them..odds of that happening?
@@johnkkkj I just checked prices and some of the reprinted cards are going back up in price. Early into release the price was discounted by 20 to 50%. I got my swords at half the price compared to earlier printings. FoW could be had for 80bucks but not interested in that. Anyway my point is, don't buy the packs. This is a master's set containing a selection of the best cards from magics history it will never be a 3buck booster. Let the big resellers absorb the risk. Just buy the singles around the release.
@@exxonrcg How does this have any bearing on what I am saying? Are we even talking about the same thing? You now have 100 dollar booster boxes with cards priced from the secondary market. In the history of Wizards was not like this everything has changed. You are only talking back at me with the reality on hand I know all this this is not what I am talking about.
Unreal set.... in my 26+ years of rippin packs this has to be the most incredible value. I had a case with NO forces - but 5x sword of feast and famine.... 3x were full art, 2x full art Jace, 2x full art Kaalia with a reg foiled Mana crypt. Way over cost to me. The 2nd case I did indeed get 2x full art FoW and 2x more full art Jace plus plus plus plus..... holy shit this is a great product if you can swing the loot to wait and resell a bunch of it, which I have done. I’m just not high pricing resales online and low balling it all Buy it Nows
Rudy I have a question, you might have already answer this but I missed it if you did,after some time has pass do you think Double Master lived up to the hype it originally created? And what I mean by this is, a lot of people jump the hype wagon and start spending money like crazy on this product, and I know plenty of people have not hit those big money makers, however overall would you say, again, people need to take it easy and not jump on the hype wagon and go crazy? Do you think this is somehow related to FOMO?
Zendikar spoilers started and I think the set looks boring as fuck lol looks like VIP will remain the most interesting thing we have for a little while.
So... to be clear, when you say these cards aren't "investible"... do you mean you don't think the SEALED product will appreciate nicely over time? Or are you only talking about the singles prices. I think your only talking about the singles prices... but just wanting to be sure I understand the statement your making.
Horrible to open just buy the singles and be done with it. I have spend around 400 euro and this set just for singles i want some in duplicates. Now i'm happy and can build alot of commander decks because now i own all the staples.
As usual Rudy's piles are about as composed and well placed as my life decisions
Too real dude, too real
rip shoulda made better decisions
@@fsmoura more like vip
Lol underrated reply right here
I feel like Mana crypt is so hard to get
ya is probably because people like me kill themselves in eldrazi builds
I'm gonna miss these videos, the constant nail on the chalkboard of Rudy putting commons with uncommons, not setting aside normal mythics, the deceitful video titles.... Good times.

75% of the packs I now crack I say to myself "the nobody cares" after looking at the rare slot.
Heck yeah good start personally i need to see the stop tape or i can't even get it up
Why does Rudy say these are sold out? I can still find cases and boxes for sail online from reputable sources
i think he meant from stores like Target and Walmart most likely. they're out of print meaning wizards won't make them anymore, so what game stores local or online have is probably it
Can someone explain the Containment Priest hidden terminator line? I don't get it at all.
Did anyone else notice at the end of the last pack one of those lands looked like it had a misprint in its foil
Rudy: I dont spec
Us: and that's why we love you
I need someone to link me a trusted source to buy one of these from please
My uncle works for WOTC il talk to him
Haven’t watched yet. So we either have 4 goblin guides or 3 jaces.
Was a good opening.
I'm guessing 4 Meddling Mages and 3 Phyrexian Metamorphs.
Did anyone else get an ad with Obi-wan Kenobi doing a road trip through South America
Would be great to see all the regular foil Mythics, and the level of duplication.
I've yet to see a box topper Land Tax, is that in the VIP boxes?
No boxtopper version of land tax
@@james-hb5tu never seen must be legit rare. Seems like the Force of Wills were heavily printed though.
Another solid opening.. very nice!
Just when you think Rudy's patron is doomed, VIP comes along and slaps him in the face with a spicy taco🤑
Bad news for Rudy's story that WotC pretends he is a figment of the imagination of a drunken harmonica peddler with seven left thumbs or whatever: I'm filling out a "why do you play Magic" survey right now, and Alpha Investments is one of the options for "Which of the following English Magic podcasts, livestreams, or video channels do you follow?"

8:39 --A clear evidence of Rudy being straigth up oracle. Loool
It's Timmy from Rudy's Investments!! Long time no see, sir.
"Here we go, Everybody." And there you are.
have we ever seen a mana crypt?
There have been a few pulled but not many. Maybe 3 or 4 out of 17 or however many videos he has done so far....we are almost to the end.
2020 is the biggest dumpster fire since..... the last big dumpster fire.... whenever that was.
1968
@@danmarshall3225 I was only 7 so don't remember. Was that the big snow year?
Mox Avenger, I was born in 1974. But 1968 was a horrible year in America and Vietnam for civil unrest and violence. Worse than 2020 by far, but minus a pandemic of course.
That final card ‘Expedition map’ really made this video
I never see regular foil force of wills. Seems rarer than showcase version from all the openings I’ve watched.
Do we think keeping these sealed is worth it?
opened this in a new tab and it played for 4 seconds before i paused it to finish the current video that im watching. . seconds later my wife from the other room goes- "what are you watching ?"
Talking up VIP packs while opening a Goblin Guide and Expedition Map. 🤣
These videos are so zen to watch
Does everyone think these will be out of print and worth more sealed in the future than the retail they were?
Rudy must have cast Doubling Season before opening this case.
Have we seen a foil force of will in the regular mythic slot?
No
Im gonna miss these openings. Theyve all been dope
You think the vips will good to keep sealed long term?
Mana Crypt has been MIA for a while now.. seems to be one of the hardest pulls in the set. Force of Will seems like a more common pull than Jace or Mana Crypt.

Rares Boxtoppers are speed bumps.
you record with such good audio when you threw the pack away i looked behind me
Best intro so far! Keep it up Rudy!
So is the "God pack" rumor confirmed or ot is just a urban legend with some bad edited video online?
Can't wait to watch this trip into Timmy's Taco Emporium! Cheers Rudy!
We all know that the last VIP opening video is going to end with the map, right?
Here in canada 150 + tax a pack so its almost impossible to get your money back opening this :/
So when did Goblin Guide become the harbinger of bad pulls?
totally will miss vip investments.
Why can't it be sub-case A, B, C, D?

Putting Expedition map as a rare showcase is an absolutely F*ck you to the buyer
Double masters bingo?
the intro had me laughing my ass off after a long day of work, thank you Rudy!
The first few seconds reminded me of the Home Improvement intro.
This run had a ton of regular mythics
I want a trip to pound town :(
who doesnt ( o.o)
That case was strong as hell
Rudy!!!!!!! I want to see a real resealed Vip pack opening full of Pikachu!!!! Make it happen!
wait wait wait.....Timmy's Taco emporium has a jaws theme? and since when did Jace's come with tacos.....am I missing something?
hes done like 15 videos of VIP pack openings and he STILL puts the tokens with the land

Were on a Jace drought again
Have you ever cut yourself with the box cutter Rudy, accidentally. ...Intentionally?
All right patron mr. Josef, now you have to pay your mom back for all those packs she bought
The country is burning and is about collapse. Rudy keeps shilling worthless cardboard, and is wildly successful doing it. You sir are a legend!
Regular boxes plz
I've come to the conclusion that the new thing is already the old thing
So my OG urza lands are worth LESS than these cumshots? Thanx WOTC. Wow, holy smokes. Hollleee smokes
First for the floppy taco surprise
What the hell are you talking about bashing on LGS? If you're Rudy and you got the $$$...
Why is Niki Minaj on Rudy's play mat?
off centre foils, Rudy has his thumb over most of them by acciddent im sure....
Horrible to open just buy the singles and be done with it. I have spend around 400 euro and this set just for singles i want some in duplicates. Now i'm happy and can build alot of commander decks because now i own all the staples.
Been waiting for u to say these are cool but NOT investable . There is a huge difference
thank god no tacos eh. must be nice knowing theirs a limit print run, maby won't be like 90's fad after all.
$1702.85 in just borderless.
I'm 5 mintues in and I'm thinking man this is boring....I never turned it to 1.25x speed. You should try watching Rudy after to much coffee.
Everything's better at 2x.
get the BOBS
This is not addiction... right....rudy?
