2003 - Legions Booster Box

[@monkii3814]

getting major nostalgic feels. This was when I was a kid and started playing mtg, from 2001-2004

[@jk47Ssb]

Phage the untouchable card I ever bought for $9 at the card store

[@crimson90]

"Wow! There was morph back then?" Yes, Rudy. This was the block that introduced morph.

[@berbinex]

That box would have been nuts back in the day. Akroma was running for 23+ bucks, Phage was like 15, and Scion of Darkness easily over 10 as well. Nice video, reminded me of the luckiest pulls i had, went to a store and bought, 8 boosters, got 2 Akromas, as a noob that had almost no cards, that was bonkers. I still play with some of those Elves, started playing during Onslaught. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@energygaming6191]

That Synapse silver is the most expensive card in the set it's right around 15 bucks

[@jbelavor9124]

Foils and rares the value was at $84. Highest 3 values were Synapse Sliver at 14.79, Seedborn Muse at 11.32 and Brood Sliver at 9.16. The foil rare was 9.09

Only lost 300 bucks🤷🏻‍♂️ depending on what he paid for it I guess. Probably less than 380 if I had to guess. Rudy takes care of his patrons🤙🏻

[@thefunky_brassmonkey]

Onslaught, Legions, Scourge. Thats the last time I played MTG. Still have my Zombie deck. Noxious Ghoul's + Call to the Grave's with these I would build up a zombie army without attacking and killing off all other creatures. Wait until I got a Gempalm Polluter to cycle it, it does 1 damage to target player for each zombie in play, combo that with an Unholy Grotto. Would devastate the opponents creatures without ever attacking and deal direct damage to players through a cycling ability, cycling cant be counter spelled. Everyone hated my deck :P Need to update the deck, but want to keep this general theme intact. RUDY and to the PATRON, thank you, thank you again, for opening this box! The fee fee's, the nostalgia, GIGGITY!

[@Uri6060]

Whenever I saw these foils in previous videos I thought they were promo cards xD Thats nuts that these were just regular foils, badass.

[@stephenjkeith]

I waited the entire video for Rudy to notice that every card in the set is a creature... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@porthole894]

Haha! Ruby is going to get some hate mail for that

[@motorcyclethings6347]

So did I...

[@Archon83]

He doesnt need to notice he probably already knew before you heard of pokemons.

[@Terkanil]

That was a super creature heavy block and it was good fun. Had a few fun decks back then like Beasts. We'll not go into the insanity that still is Slivers.

[@Terkanil]

@Kel'Thuzad Stalemates were common. Friend and I had many a game of 30+ 5/5 or bigger creatures out. Stalemate ended when one of us got bored and decided to see who would win an all-in fight.

[@diovarela1215]

Jesus, what a flashback. This was back when I was heaviest into MTG. I bought so manyOnslaught block boosters. So many.

[@ImACookieTasteMe]

this is when i got into it in high school saw these cards daily zombies, soldiers, white black clerics, elves, goblins the first few packs i opened were scourge though

[@Mephiston]

I dipped out of magic at the end of the rath cycle, then came back just for invasion because a friend mentioned they played, then promptly stopped again because life.

[@Alignment89]

Oh man this was such a treat! I saw this video on the side and was like YES! Hell freaking yes! I got introduced to Magic in 2003 and yes some of my first ever cards that I got from that beautiful individual was from Onslaught, Legions and Scourge. So seeing this was amazing! I remembered almost all the cards that you pulled including the commons! 😃 The first thing I noticed was the quality of the cards, my god they are pretty! Even the bunch of cards from this set that I have are still looking clean and smooth as ever! The other thing was the cards themselves and not just the nostalgia but there are so many cool cards! 1 of my absolute favorites of this set is the Blue beauty: Mistform Wakecaster! The color combination, how the blue goes perfectly into the blue inner frame, the black border fits nicely with the darkness of the explosion, the feel, the aaaaaah so nice! Anyway... I came across your channel like 2 years ago and instantly found it very interesting! However I wasn't into magic then, so my inspiration went elsewhere. That was until an irl friend of mine suddenly after a year knowing him told me he was into Magic! Thus my interest got resparked and I was buying packs again, joining drafts which I hadn't done since well 2003/2004 (I think the last draft was Mirrodin which I absolutely loooooved!) I knew I still had this channel saved in my bookmarks and my friend kept telling me about your videos and stuff. Then now just a few days ago as I searched for cards to buy online I once again encountered your channel! Specifically the video where you explain the difference between US and european cards, because the seller has a reference to that video to enlighten oblivious people, which is nice! As soon as I clicked on the video and heard your voice I instantly recognized everything about you and many past viewings etc and I got right back! Also I could both see and feel the difference from watching that video! I did not know this myself + my old ass cards still smell like magic! ❤️ I spent pretty much the whole of yesterday watching your videos because I was trying to stay awake to change my sleep rhythm and it worked like a charm! Not only did it work but it was very entertaining and exciting! Back to this video/Legions thing: When I saw this video I was thinking from hearing about all the patreons you open for if it would be possible to become 1 myself! So I checked the patreon thing out and while trying to figure out what tier I wanted to get I noticed that you're only shipping to the US ?! =( You have soooooo many old sets that would been absolutely amazing to open for myself but I guess it's not possible considering I live in Norway or is there still a way ? (I am a firm believer of possibilities) Last but not least: I love your videos and regarding what people said about your desire of following your inspired, magical journey it doesn't mean shit what anybody says and feels and thinks about it. It's your decision and it's your life. Do what you want and fuck those who disagree.

[@RollingAZN]

Oh my lord, it's the set I started playing magic. I made so many wacky decks like full white cleric deck and the whole point of the deck is to prevent as much damage as possible for 2 head giant play, or my favorite black zombie deck played around the cycle card and player(s) loses life points deck. So many fun memories, thank you Rudy and fellow patron.

[@AffinityforMTG]

I started playing Magic during Onslaught so this was super cool to see.

[@DMetaMonty]

I remember this set well. It had Slivers, the Muse cycle, great tribal cards and two of my favorite creates: Phage and Akroma.

[@yeday]

Dude this was the best era lmao I started in oddyssey and drop by Kamigawa. This is pure gold I cant believe you dont even remember these CARDS!!!!

[@lifedragon99]

Legions is when I started playing. I had an elf deck. Would buy boosters all the time. Seeing this has made em super nostalgic.

[@BaronNick]

Akroma was such a big deal back in the day, I traded a beta mahamoti, and a ton of Akroma, angel of wrath for my unlimited pearl.

[@lordofgarbageprogenitoroft4147]

That's epic

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Those were the days...

[@BenDy3223]

What a fun video! Don't get to see box openings like this anywhere else. Thank you Rudy, and thank you Patron for sharing the experience! So much beautiful artwork.

[@ChadZeluff]

Fantastic era of Magic. The saddest part was when Mirrodin came out afterward, and Standard revolves entirely around that block instead.

[@thefrozengoat]

Gosh I love the older products. That is my childhood right there.

[@jeran42]

onslaught is my peak MTG experience. my FAVORITE cards. glad to see this.

[@SOGothikka]

This made me a little sad knowing magic will never be like this again. I had started playing about 4 years prior to this set and man I miss that era of cards. This opening brought me right back to the card & comic shop I used to go to in my youth. Thanks man.

[@bartenderbobmtg9809]

Thank you Rudy and your Patron for this box opening. I got back into magic the first time after a 2 year layoff. Came back in the onslaught block. These cards really take me back to a great time.. awesome!!!

[@rolonegative3334]

Legions was the 1st Magic box I bought. Tribal was big in this block. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[@ereftw]

Back in the day 2 akromas, phage and scion of darkness along with all the muses was a huge hit :)

[@guillaumecleroux4581]

SO MANY MEMORIES! My 1st deck ever was a RB "goodstuff" with mainly Legions cards I bought from a friend. My fascination for Slivers hasn't dropped since.

[@MTGUnpacked]

Awesome artwork! Patron could've gotten a box of this cheaper than $8k, but Rudy pack openings are priceless😜

[@gregthebunny553]

Rudy Didn’t understand the Patron who wanted this box opened wanted the singles for his Morph Commander 2019 deck. Out of touch old man Rudy don’t even know 2+2=5

[@l_galand942]

1984 reference?

[@seeweda]

Or for the Slivers, believe Brood Sliver is one of the most expensive cards in this set now.

[@manga_spawn2662]

Yup it was for the slivers.

[@zine51c]

Definetly the morphs :D

[@landgin3781]

I remember I started playing in invasion. The ipa to Scourge was my favorite time in magic (I stopped playing after fifth dawn). I remember this set very fondly. Scion of darkness for life.

[@DaBalloonGuy67]

Love the white knight. Ed Beard Jr. art. He has a booth at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. I love the wirewood channeler with pemin’s aura. Mono green to use the channeler to produce blue and red mana. Red for Fireball.

[@Kdaljeet]

I used to play an elf deck during this era! It was sweet. This was so great to see this box opening, I absolutely loved it.

Krosan cloudscraper was my first rare and akroma was my freinds. We bought our first pack together and watching you open them one after another brought back alot of good memories

[@franciscoescalona7052]

I started at onslaught. Excellent video, nice throwback. FOIL CALLER OF THE CLAW! One of my favourites. Damn, now I want one. Doble tap Akroma just like that. Best times to play mtg

[@statphantom]

Ruby, I agree the old foils look amazing however the new foiling does cause some amazing effects on certain colors and cards that looks amazing!

[@SirHille]

The first full block when I started playing. Loved it! The creature theme and the old style were so nice. Miss the days

I began playing magic in this set, hoo the memories :D loved it. Thanks Rudy.

[@zouxiaonan9751]

just wanna say, nice job Rudy!! you got me to spend $100+ on SCG buying 1 of each card from this set. this set was the first set i collected a full set for and i lost the album through time. but now i'm sitting at home waiting for the shipment!!!!!

No Rudy, YOU have a splendid day!

[@chummer2060]

Ahhh, this brings me back to playing magic at the local truck stop back home. I remember almost all of these cards.

[@jamestarrou3685]

this was the block that was out when I first started playing MtG. Crazy to see all these old cards again.

[@manga_spawn2662]

Thanks so much for doing the opening Rudy. Slivers have always been my favorite and this set did not disappoint. Love the old frames takes me back to a simpler time.

[@stephenjones3630]

Onslaught block is when I started magic. Love that stuff. We used to brew stupidly bad, creature heavy decks in high school.

[@ultimateo621]

Old foils are so pretty

[@DanielJStahl]

Gempalm polluter won me more games than I can recall. That's one of my favorites never actually put it on the battlefield.

[@TheMcK777]

Played in an Unstable draft and pulled Summon the Pack. Anticipated it and had a Legions pack on standby.

[@deeterful]

This is why I want a Legions box!

[@joaodestro3654]

Man I love so much this set. It was right when I started playing mtg and all my friends at school were using cards from onslaught block. Miss those good times.

This was my favorite era of magic. I had just started middle school...the nostalgia hurts.

[@greeneking77]

This was the last Magic set. After this Hasbro changed to the new frame which was blasphemy. Lots of players/collectors quit and now I'm glad they did change it because it allowed me to concentrate picking up all the older sets I missed

[@patrickrohlfs5759]

Bringing me back to when I started to play magic. One of my first drafts was scourge and legions

God I would love to have a NM Synapse sliver! Beautiful and the highest value in the set. Thanks rudy for opening legions, it has been so long since I've seen it.

[@mikerearic6534]

Wow this one took me back. I remember going to sam Goody's and buying these packs. Also always thought it was kinda neat that the whole set is all creatures

[@UkuleleProductions]

I always love the videos, were we watch at the old sets :)

[@Mordarke]

God Legions takes me back to my youth! I think that whole block was probably my favourite out of anything Wizards has pulled out. Phage the Untouchable. Visara the Dreadful Akroma, Angel of Wrath. Three best women of MTG, the artwork is fucking gorgeous and the old FNM allowed you to earn cards.

[@bbostonnd9372]

This is the magic I know right here. 10 year old me is having a field day

That common Bloodstoke Howler is my nostalgia moment. Probably one of the first cards I've seen that blew my mind!

I find it funny to see Rudy not realizing that this set only contains creatures...

My older brother got me into MTG around this era, to think I was 9 back then lol xD Oh man! Krosan Cloudscraper was my favourite card simply for being a 13/13, huge creatures was my thing and he was the biggest one I saw and looked cool :) Akroma! My brother played her... it was so annoying, beautiful card though :P Phage the Untouchable! Yes! I was hoping you'd pull her :D Huge nostalgia trip for me, basically my MTG childhood when I first started to play the game. The memories :')

[@rom65536]

Legions was big for me in Magic history. It was the first magic set that I actually had a decent amount of expendable cash. It was the first pre-release that I almost punched a judge. It was the first set that I had more fun drafting than I did playing constructed.

[@cmav8]

This is the series I started with. I miss it. Phage and Akroma were really popular then.

[@uristmcstout-horn]

I have fond memories of Legions being my first pre-release. Also getting Seedborn Muse in my pack as everyone was offing FIFTY bucks a pop for Akroma and Phage and being more excited that I got the muse.

[@helhal]

I love playing green elf deck from this block. Wow. It is from 16 years ago! How time flies.

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

I used to play Astral Slide decks during this block.

[@bgeda]

This set was the first full box I ever purchased as a kid. I opened a foil Akroma in the first pack, this brought back tons of feel good vibes. You're right there is no feeling quite like old boxes of magic, I wish they were working to recapture that magic feel. Thanks Elliot and Rudy for this.

[@thirty8506]

I enjoy the older set openings! I had no idea!

[@Actalzy]

I use to play with big creature, especially in black. Dark rituals and a few other tricks let me get them out relatively fast plus Quicksilver amulets, plenty of tricks to let you make the massive cost creature dirt cheap. Of course my favorite big creature combo that won me many matches way back in the day was Serra's Avatar + lifelink + trample. This was before exile was really a thing so getting rid of the Avatar was rather difficult, you had destroy or bury cards but then it just goes back into the deck and with four in there odds are good.

[@yggdrasil9319]

Sweet memory. That is a bit like a journey into childhood.

[@chumpypoodle]

The elf deck out of this deck i made was insane, like you attack with all your elves and tap that common, forget the name, but it gives +x+x for each elf in play to target creature, good times. I also have a foil phage the untouchable downstairs in a box, its currently going for 40$ i think

[@TripsAhoy]

The slivers in this set is where all the money is at !

I wonder why they changed the card frame to. I actually liked this era the best.
