1999 - Tempest.....RESERVED LIST!

[@RealFeelsTrip]

"I remember some of my friends playing that." This implies Rudy: a) had friends b) played Magic Suspicious.

I think he’s implying he watched his friends play magic because he didn’t know how to play 😂

Got curious with that Charlie Brown talking, checked my collection, and bingo! My Portuguese Sapphire has the misprint! Also, greetings from Brazil!

[@brokenphantom3g]

I had to check my collection too, but nothing on two Sapphire, one ruby and one Emerald. Fun bits of trivia like that are what I watch Rudy for.

[@crimson90]

I remember when Tempest was new. Slivers are so awesome!

[@goldismagic]

They sure are!

[@andykapsar4667]

I was 12 when Tempest came out, and I'll never forget it. First pack I got I pulled a Time Warp and I felt like I just won a million bucks.

[@chrisaddison5530]

Me tooo! Instantly hooked on both opening and playing Magic.

[@KsiazeIktorn]

Very first MtG pack ever. Scroll Rack, Ancient Tomb, Lotus Petal. :)

[@markpaton1659]

Nostalgic, Tempest is the time frame where I was starting to play competitively....oh the memories. Seeing power nine in LGS in the case for $200-300, Stronghold around the corner, everyone buzzing about the new Mox and all. Good times

[@MadolcheGabbana]

Immediately hit in the nostalgia balls. That *click* sound went off when I saw Duck Hunt.

[@brunolima7402]

Tempest...i started playing during Mirage so not that far away. The nostalgia.

[@MetPhD]

2:30 nostalgia hit my taco. Rudy has already entertained me and my Phyrexian Tower in his 3rd floor basement!!! (Edit: such a great message at the end, watch it peeps)

[@pablomartinez8601]

Good luck zinho i still remember him opening a foil palinchron in one of his urza’s box opening videos

[@MTGUnpacked]

So good to see these old cards. Great historical record, even if the value unsealed isn't the best👍

[@monkeibusiness]

god damn I love the lands. They dont do art like his anymore. Nothing against the hyperfantasy zen lands but damn. the old ones just had such a nice vibe.

[@7Alberto7]

The Rath cycle is just the best MTG experience ever Well time to buy more Tempest after this video i guess...the market is going to move! Let's go!

[@greeneking77]

Remember kids, if it doesn't have the old frame it's trash!!!

Except for those white bordered cards. We don't talk about those.

Tempest was one of my fav sets back in the day, had many of those decks, good times.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I remember when Tempest came out. People went bonkers over Rahti Dragon!! It was the most sought after card of the set 🤩 Thank you Retro Gamer for letting Rudy opening these 🙏

[@devoted2thaentertainment207]

I remember playing Duckhunt with my Older Bro, the best memories. Take us back in time Rudy!!

[@thefrozengoat]

Love your vintage product openings, Rudy!

[@Torsav]

Tempest is where it all started for me. Always looking for a reason to jam tempest cards in decks. The nostalgia. The smell of magic cards.

[@FrozenMopars]

Rudy!!!! Living the life collecting the 90's!! Best MTG content out there. All the knowledge, and hitting my memory bank every day like a bulk bin Juggernaut.

[@Fausto_4841]

this was a tremendous intro. the N64 and pokemon red and blue boxes were so nostalgic.

[@djjmandos]

Tradewind-Survial of the Fittest was quite possibly my favourite deck to play in what used to be the Extended format. With your wall of blossoms, spike feeders, squees, counters, force of wills, morphlings and lots of etb effects. So much toolbox. Not much respect now for ole tradewindy. But bless his airy soul.

[@WandererNamedGuy]

Glad I showed up to class today, loved that old art so much🤙🌜🌞🌛

I feel like a baby when ever I see these older sets I started playing magic around the time khans came out

[@lorenzolupozefferi1828]

Hey Rudy thanks for all the entertainment u provide us! listening to your commentary is great, on older sets is fanatstic. I wasnt there to experience alpha or tempest or ice ice, but i have some cards 'cause my older brother played at that time, and i've always asked myself what was like to crack some package in the old days, what kind of crappy deck where around and stuff like that, and listen to u is like living a little part of it! Keep up with the good work, Love from Italy! ps sorry for my poor english

[@DijaVlogsGames]

I was never into Magic, but this old artwork is tempting. Why do I always like the expensive stuff?

[@Orchestravels]

Tempest is my all time favorite set. It had so many wonderful cards in it and during a time when so much was happening with magic

[@akselhansen304]

7:26 that clergy is totally getting blown by that unbeliever That art work and Flavour text is hilarious

[@Discostick55]

My first Magic were an Exodus and Tempest deck.. These cards are so nostalgic

[@daurgo2001]

0:17, oh man, Lords of Magic was one of my favorite games! Haha, I love that Rudy has one

[@benistoneman9737]

Tempest was my favorite set by far. The cards were so cool. The whole block was awesome. Land destruction precon. Oh the days

[@lovelandfrogman2136]

The nostalgia of this opening video is amazing 😍

[@cash45-]

Was really looking forward to seeing some Homelands opened up. Wot a tease Rudy!!!

[@WolleWip]

Just the basics are worth it. Mark Poole, and Terese Nielsen's Plains. Didn't fully appreciate that, when I bought a starter back in the day. Also my absolute favorite CoP cycle art.

[@christam949]

the opening to this really makes me want to see more of rudy's video game collections. it looks so extensive and impressive.

[@mikegrazick1795]

Rudy, the way you opened the seal on the packs is how I peel my bananas. Slow and with the pull tabs.

Legerdemain is French. “Leger de main” meaning “Light of Hand” or more directly translated to “sleight of hand” which makes sense with the effect.

[@griffinkasch2884]

Knew it had to be foreign. Thought German at first

[@starshortspeedruns88]

it is more directly translated as "light of hand" actually, meaning "nimble with the hands". sleight of hand does not really have any direct translation in french

[@Narstrand6]

Magic had such an atmosphere back in the days. The artwork and everything really brought it to life. Today's digital flawless artwork looks great of course, but for some reason it just doesn't trigger my imagination at all. It's like the cards in the old days almost felt alive, while today's cards feel like...well...pieces of paper.

[@SmallExpLamp]

Charlie Brown misprint, I can't tell if I'm getting played.

I remember opening these back in the day, oh we had no idea. Rathi Dragon was all the rage with mono red burn.

[@rafaelmendes00]

RUDY IS BACK!!! Finally a real video!!!!

[@shiftyjedi3417]

Tempest is my favorite set. It was OG, Buyback is probably my favorite effect. Scroll Rack, Intuition, playset of Aluren and Earthcraft.

[@JesseJames83]

0:00 wait, no Shandalar!? All I saw were Floppy Tacos

[@mtgunveiled874]

Dope intro music! Makes me wanna slap someone! MORTAR KERMBART!!!!!!!!!

[@DocB_83]

Warcraft 2, space craft, age of empires, Zelda ocarina of time. Oh the nostalgia. The MOST important aspect of MTG for the original generation of the game. Can remember going to Trumps Hobby’s and buying starter decks and booster packs of Tempest. If only we knew then what we know now!

[@TheMrSlyxx]

All those years ago... i had so many packs and boxes of tempest and Urza's Saga... just chucked them around like they were worth 20 cents. Now I just want a time machine. LOL, as soon as you tilted that Medallion i knew you were lookin for the Charlie Brown print.

[@ep1phany62]

Rudy, can you do a video on what you consider Near Mint, Light Play etc There seems to be a great difference in what is considered different conditions.

[@futurfry]

Everyone's really impressed with royalty free default music

[@klasto]

My first set, Cursed Scroll was the thing to catch back then.

Love those n64 games. Rush and rush 2 are some of my favorite

[@chenbro1000]

The intro is too wild. Love it.

[@AffordableAdorable369]

I personally had gotten into magic right when the sixth edition came out, but my cousin had been showing me his magic cards and been playing magic for about a year, maybe a tad more before me. He was on the hunt for a specific Sliver, I don’t remember which one it was off the top of my head, but he said that they were popular because the movie “Sliver” that had came out recently as well, I think there was a sex scene, Gigitty.... And that’s how memes are made 🙃

[@jotv7224]

its interesting how the market treats some of these cards as if there is zero collectors market in the game for them. some are still so close to bulk pricing. i understand there is a lot but a rare from tempest still seems like it should warrent a higher price tag if it'll never be reprinted just from collector demand alone. but apparently no one cares and its speculators bouncing the cards off each other often times at a loss if they aren't accumulating them through collection buying. makes me want to just collect a bunch of sub $1 reserved list cards but not for profit but because i actually like weird and unique cards in the binder or the cube. other people are missing out its pretty cool how the secondary market has maintain a supply of these at such cheap prices . pokemon in comparison there is a truely strong collectors market where fans go crazy about cards just because of how they look if magic had that at the same level i feel like all sub $1reserved list cards would be in bgs and psa cases by now at 100 a pop probably wrong but seems like it sometimes.

[@internetjesus]

Tempest was MY set. Fourth Edition may be my first, but Tempest is what I started on in MTG. Funnily enough, I never got any Lotus Petals, and I bought like five or six of these starter decks.

[@ryangreenwald3755]

Charlie brown errors and such, is there a source online that describes these type of oddities / things to look for?

[@MegaTrain]

Hmm, didn’t see this particular one on there, just search for “Charlie Brown Mediallions”, there are a few good sites.

[@thevinyldragon6255]

The Bali wood disco music was interesting

[@Possu81]

A golden tap for a golden boy. This is the king of all cardboard. The best art in tcgs. Tempest was my first prelease. Those rare pulls from the first pack would have been amazing if powerlevel weren't pushed to the point where it is currently. A S-tier creature etc...Will there be time when we chase PSA/BGS 10s basics from Tempest?

[@chrisb8595]

Dark Reign! I loved that game, I would love for somebody to make a new version.

[@Arthur3148]

I once bought one of these Tempest starters in a garage sale for 3 euros. Never underestimate garage sales.

i dont about the first one, the waste was nice at 40$ but the mystery booster lotus petal is more expensive than the OG at 12$ and the rider is 2 bucks and the medallion is 25$ it was reprinted in commander 2014

[@MakingandBreaking]

The first set I ever bought a full booster box of was Tempest.

[@johntellnott12345]

Had a thought, and if I don't say it now... Gone. SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!! Sure, you US folk don't consider it, but for us international chaps and chapesses, shipping is sometimes more than the card..!
