[@khiolis]

rudy, you missed the mystic remoras, my dude they are one of the most expensive cards in the set

[@ms.sysbit5511]

This hurt me lol

[@ulrichvonstomp6031]

I thought you were joking till I looked it up! Thanks! I'm about to sell my collection and that just added a few $$ to the bottom line! :)

[@hobbsenddestroyer]

I was yelling at my screen...

[@omnibot]

12:00

[@captiannemo1587]

I got about 34 of them tbh. Ice Age as a whole is still one of the best MTG sets.

[@Drakengod691]

Mystic remora is a great card in commander. Also didnt see a single swords to Plowshares.

[@bud9450]

I was a 14yr old "Timmy" when Ice Age came out and me and my friends started heavily playing around this time. Great memories.

[@Utubesuxmycock]

damnnnnnn i was 10. yeah i remember the day it released at my local Hastings

[@DommyXMommy]

It honestly pains me that there is physically no way to even break even if you buy a box of this set.

[@martinarnold4999]

Angel Oneill Rudy was straight up before we begun - the EV is not going to match to sealed box price. My guess is Coldsnap would be the set from Ice Age block that comes closest.

[@dimitriousdevilboon7714]

The BEST set magic has and will ever produce.

[@Clabian96]

It's fun to draft though.

[@SpitefulAZ]

lol yep, I just looked up all cards worth >$5 from ice age. Now I understand why booster packs are only $10 a pop.

[@andrewbawden7477]

He broke even from the views. $100 to him for a 20 minute video

[@mikeb3588]

I believe this is your third Ice Age box opening and the card I was hoping for in all of them never showed up: Jester's Cap

[@Novac719]

LOVED that card back in the day

[@09Booher]

Fyndhorn elf and llanowar elf at one time were both in standard(type 2 back then). It was pretty cool running 8 one drop mana dorks!

[@09Booher]

James Kutkowski I ran wild growth and llanowar druid with the 8 dorks, and a butt ton of fatties. It was the hit of the shop that season. Weather Light had just come out.

[@leptonsoup337]

I remember getting my first Jester's Cap in a pack. Good times.

[@Utubesuxmycock]

i want that play mat so bad the original art is called cap of the ice jester btw!

[@ninjan4987]

Rudy is trying with all his power to not open M20 booster boxes lol

[@roccojoco]

These packs are stuck together just like the pages of Rudy's vintage collection of Big 'Uns.

[@Momofatts1]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@CaptBackwards]

Al Bundy approves

[@BerndosMusic]

I'm nostalgic for those cards and I've never played a game of magic in my life.

[@MadCowMusic]

That mystic remora blue fish card you pointed out is making a comeback because it's new to the pauper format.

[@celphys]

Thank you, so much nostalgia... ❄️ missing guests are Necropotence, Swords to Plowshare and Jester’s cap here.

[@brianhall4182]

Man, I remember opening Ice Age. I'm stopping to read some of these cards and boooooy are they bad.

[@MM-qq8fb]

Absolutely love these videos!!! So want to open some more vintage magic.

[@AccessAccess]

I know a lot of people are down on this set but remember what it came after (Fallen Empires). Definitely a step up from that.

[@avher823]

Seriously an entire box of Ice Age? Strap in!!

[@joshualynn9337]

Did you say strap in or strap on ?

[@steeveedee8478]

@@joshualynn9337 They will both be just as painful.

[@RestoSexual]

So many of the commons hold so much power. Love fyndhorn eves and all the aurochs

[@80budokai]

Rudy, great video! Enjoy your week! 💯🙏🙌

[@kamakaze7187]

Damn Rudy, you're bringing back memories for real. Thats when i started and the first booster box i bought

[@RichDupre]

Yeah I have a serious love/hate with Ice age. The nostalgia is great. Just wish the cards were.

[@Utubesuxmycock]

thats how i feel about fallen empires so much nostalgia! but nothing great besides black!

[@FrankFrankly711]

Didnt understand Ice Cauldron back in the day. Almost 25 years later, still dont understand

[@mckaystpeter]

Mystic Remora is 5 dollars. unfortunately, I only saw 2 the whole video.

[@burningpapersun1]

I will always love this set. It was always hard trying to find a place to play.

[@masaz2770]

Rudy over here casually passing those 5 Dollar Bills named Mystic Remora

[@Burks2121]

That was my first MTG set. Really miss collecting these cards.

[@DoritoMcVegas]

not even one charizard

[@crazyj6056]

Alpha investments your opening one of my favorite set I started magic the gathering with ice age

[@Titleist1127]

Heck yeah keeping opening the good stuff, I love vintage magic!

[@Volkain10]

The reason they printed llanowar elves with a different name is so you can run more than 4x in your deck.

[@trshaw52]

There were a few cards that mirrored 3rd/4th that you could add to decks,. Discard (specter), land destruction, even Tim decks got a boost, elves was another.

[@nightowlyt5570]

True another reason was because some people were confused why the original card was 'Llanowar Elves' when it only showed a single Elf and I think both reasons contributed to a change

[@cardoor572]

Still haven’t watched a video of an Ice Age opening thanks for the video

[@TheMrSlyxx]

Ice Age will always be my favorite all time set. It was the main set when I first started playing.

[@norwegianblue2017]

I got into MTG juuuust as Unlimited and Legends was rotating out. Bummer. Got tons of Ice Age for ya!

[@herts9999]

Ruby is getting excited about a Counterspell. This is gonna be a looooong opening.

[@stevekeenan9673]

From pygmy allosaurus to Galta...tinder walls were huge like blood pets for no p9 ramp

[@ryangreenwald3755]

You're the man Rudy!

[@bewbunyon1]

I remember when this set came out and I bought a guy a booster box for a LP/NM Juzam Djinn. He had a playset and the one I chose had deeper color than the other 3. Wish I still had it.

[@1979timdog]

Portent was amazing back in the day. Ashen ghoul was also one of the kings of reanimator!

[@bumpasaurus487]

Howl from beyond, incinerate, and stone rain are way more iconic than regeneration and shatter...plus, mystic remora is probably one of the top 5 cards in the whole set!!! (And u missed an early fynhorn elf) great vid tho!!! I remember seeing these boxes for sale EVERYWHERE!!!!!

[@adamchampion7686]

Those packs are beautiful I love that blue and white..

[@treygibson7048]

This video brought to you by hosetown LLC. Still a fun watch.

[@MojoVince]

Art in this ste is just amazing!

[@Momofatts1]

History lesson on why all the reprints in Ice Age. I used Wiki for the explanation "Ice Age was the first "stand-alone" expansion; that is, it was the first set that could be played independently of other Magic: The Gatheringproducts. It was the first expansion to reprint all five basic lands. Ice Age is also the first set that was printed for a certain period."

[@james-hb5tu]

rudy always gives patrons the worst damaged box that he has lol

[@CRbyM3]

Because they are cheaper

[@louberdasco601]

@@CRbyM3 and can break even better :D

[@Utubesuxmycock]

hahahah

[@georgeasimakos1744]

Ice Age was classic. Karplusan Yeti is such an underrated card. Necropotence. First reprint of Icy Manipulator. Blinking Spirit. Knight of Stromgald. Order of the White Shield.

[@BarHonigfeld]

A "first reprint" is such a weird thing to celebrate.

[@georgeasimakos1744]

@@BarHonigfeld at the time, it was unusual to see reprinted cards from Alpha/Beta/Unlimited. Everyone thought Icy Manipulator was gone for good, like Demonic Tutor. So it was exciting. Source: I'm old.

[@BarHonigfeld]

@@georgeasimakos1744 There.... there are tons of reprints in Ice Age. A good portion of this video even was singeling out iconic reprints. I was also there. Here, no one was excited to see Icy Manipulator being reprinted except for me. Because I loved Amy Weber artwork.

[@DarkPaladin1130]

Rudy...It was printed in Belgium but resealed in USA....😁

[@fury230]

Rudy! You rock man! Yeayeah!!

[@devoted2thaentertainment207]

I brought my winter coat, in Florida's summer time, for this video

[@jhook6865]

These cards are beautiful, imagine if the power level was a bit higher...

[@alfascorpi]

The common Mystic Remora ‘fish’ is actually worth something. It is played in commander, removing counters for the cumul upkeep.

[@regorllerref]

I don't know why but this is my favorite MTG set.

[@Mrtfarrugia]

5:30 Amulet of Truck Nuts Rudy.

[@esredito]

Flyhndorn elves are súper icónic!! Maybe misspelled but Mr. Taco will know the card I’m talking about

[@Actalzy]

Breeding pit + Minion of Leshrac, the combo that made my friends cry.

[@kimbach1824]

Llanowar and Fyndhorn are locations. Ice Age focused on another part of Domineria, so llanowar as name wouldnt make sense for the elves in the set, so they got named Fyndhorn Elves instead.

[@alexanderyoungert1969]

Missed that snow elf!!

[@ElectroslairBlogspot]

I love playing the Ice Age block.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Okay, the depletion lands are not the best, but the art on those lands are stunning. My favorite is River Delta, beautiful art by Everingham.

[@soshady9572]

Ah yes......ICE AGE. Feels like it's been as long. 😉 This set launched 2 weeks before I started playing the game. I remember it fondly.

[@adambandurak8913]

I remember cutting out the art on the plains because they formed one big landscape.

[@alemorikec]

I see the Mystic Remora used a lot of blue cEDH decks over on another cEDH channel.

[@SuperAntichicken]

This was my first set!

[@Lunji]

the vampire! brushed past in its priiiiimme. i think there was also a playset of norrits don't forget aboot the norrits

[@Step42Hen]

Old packs don’t stick together! That’s just your resealing glue, stop trying to scam us! If this were a real box of ice age there would be a box topper.

[@stoogeslap]

Rudy, they changed the names for cards that are virtually the same as some of the ones in the Core set because WotC was toying with the idea of Ice Age being a stand-alone set, hence why there are some of the iconic reprints, such as Swords to Plowshares, Counterspell, Dark Ritual, Shatter, COP:________, Power Sink, etc...

[@salrusso8768]

Portent & Fyndhorn Elves were great staples

[@Novac719]

How does Regeneration make the iconic card piles but Stone Rain doesn't?

[@bumpasaurus487]

andrew allen exactly!!! I was thinking the same about incinerate and howl from beyond, both way more iconic than shatter and regeneration. I’ve been playing magic since revised, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody cast regeneration, ever....😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@WoeBringer1195]

I remember them Necropotence decks back in the day

[@captiannemo1587]

Elemental Augury is an very powerful control card...

[@josephs.4813]

This opening is pretty cool...

[@dimitriousdevilboon7714]

The BEST set magic has and ever will produce.

[@boogersculptor]

shout out to drew tucker. magic needs more art like his.

[@BarHonigfeld]

My favourite land card is "Flooded Woodenchantment"

[@jordandawson2192]

Rudy “let’s set aside a couple iconic cards”. Later in video oh that’s iconic so is that this whole pack is iconic and undervalued this set is undervalued invest in ice age and make money.

[@captzero007]

Ice Age didn't appreciate in value very well for a 24 year old product.

[@MyLittleMagneton]

They should totally make a "Wall of Text"-wall for the next un- set :)

[@smurphftw2008]

Ice Age's biggest selling point is that it sucks *SLIGHTLY* less than Fallen Empires and Homelands

[@Tucsonwolfman]

Mystic Remora is actually a great card, (also worth 5ish bucks)

[@mlpaula100]

There was another Findhorn Elves before, you didn't see it, but I did...

[@mlpaula100]

The Remora! It has value, too!!!

[@Kenny-pb3xs]

I should pull out my 7-8000 cards and sell them I Havnt played for 15 years anyways! But watching this channel makes me want to get back into it

[@Utubesuxmycock]

no cap of the ice jester? what a whiff!

[@Taylorbaby831]

My personal favorite

[@Benkenobi8118]

Wow, Demonic consultation. You made your box back on that. 15$ right there.

[@mindustrial]

9:30 I am disappoint. Rudy didn't say OUPHE out loud :(

[@LennartB81]

Fyndhorn Brownie is one of the funniest cards, collected 600 of it

[@denispellerin2815]

Speed holes...makes the box go faster...

[@User-fp4gn]

[@LacrauDemon5729]

Great video but you miss a 2 remoras

[@cpitts385]

Mmmm just finished your last video, and then a new one pops up.

[@chromium3707]

Just lookin at all the good commons back then. We pray for commons like those today

[@martinarnold4999]

Chromium modern day cards are better overall. Imagine making the best deck you could out of the ice age cards we just saw opened and then battling someone who open a box of Spark. I think the Ice Age deck would get smoked.

[@chromium3707]

It was a different era back then. Honestly it’s the reason why we can’t have cards like dark ritual and brainstorm type in standard. Each color had more of a focus. We don’t have any iconic type cards(well not as good). We trade thunderbolt for shock and cancel for counterspell. The power difference in old commons compared to new commons just aren’t the same.

[@Benkenobi8118]

@@chromium3707 Depends on the deck that you build with this box. 4x Counterspells 4x Disenchants plus the Zuran Orb and Icy Manipulator is a basis of a control set. You've got the stuff you need for burn with an old school christmas deck w/Tinder Walls and Fyndhorn Elves. Incinerate, etc. So you've got some part decks there. The Christmas deck needs some higher end stuff, but the basics are there. Dunno. Would be an interesting exercise to build and playtest.

[@shaunwoodford4754]

That was fun, but please God-Eternal Rudy, id so love to see a box opening of the Dark. I know someone has to buy it, but tempt people...know what im saying

[@fredgasburger5969]

I’m surprised there wasn’t a jesters cap or a jester mask in there.

[@brianpetheram1037]

Jester's cap/mask were the bees knees when ice age came out

[@jerryhesse8068]

Happy now

[@Goldenbelmont]

Ahh, when the Complete Set is cheaper than an unopened box

[@Benkenobi8118]

I don't understand why people would buy an unopened Ice Age Box for 300 dollars.
