Rudy should pin your comments so I don't have to scroll each time. Appreciate your efforts!

[@andypham4216]

You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for your post! It saved me a lot of time.

[@democratsaretrash9366]

Aka don't bother buying one if you're a value guy or 3.69696969% female

[@Valkyrie_3d]

Nostalgia

[@zomb1e375]

i want to do a video with all three from the block, scars, besieged, and new phyrexia., if you're down.

[@BOTzerker]

Not a MTG player / collector. In the couple months I've been watching this channel, the artwork on these cards is my favorite.

[@thundarrisaboss2725]

playing the game really enhances the art. give it a try. mtg arena is free to download on pc, and teaches you everything. have a good day! :)

[@Lucas-rd7yh]

That Glissa is like Kerrigan of Starcraft 🤣

[@liamcolligan1215]

OhhhhhhHHHHHHH! Get a load of those Phyrexian tacos!

[@brianhall4182]

I still have the Fat Pack box of Mirrodin Besieged sitting around somewhere. New Phyrexia too. Loved this whole block.

[@nathanielelias4003]

Same here. Even got scars fat pack.

[@jarrettdiperna8370]

On flavor with Phyrexians, the video ends as it began; with some grotesque abomination. XD Also, Foil Tezzey from this set was my first ever Planeswalker. From that alone I shall forever love this set.

[@iqcool]

Rudy, that was all 5 of the Zenith cards! That was an awesome box opening.

[@Johnny2019]

Agreed i think he forgot about the red one

[@LopsidedMoz]

The art theme of this set is good, I wish magic returned to stuff like this, it's too family friendly now

[@BizarreBazaarBW]

Wouldn't be Magic: The Gathering without Rudy saying "Wouldn't be Magic: The Gathering".

[@TGOAkaitachi]

Oh man, I love the whole return to Mirrodin and the Phyrexian story pieces. I bought 60+ Priests of Norn to use as basically sleeves. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@saladtop8499]

I still remember when I opened two of those packs and got Slagstorm then a Consecrated Sphinx

[@shaunlynch7786]

So reminds me of when I used to open the original Mirrodin boxes back in the day. Loved the art and cool artifacts from that set. Thanks for keeping us entertained, Rudy!

[@n0isyturtle]

Don't be a lil baby, and open a box of Future Sight like a _man!_

[@zzafrica87]

yy

[@nickfitzpatrick5878]

He will if you buying.

[@john7709]

Another Timmy here. Just checking into the Thunderdome.

[@L0j1k]

Ah! My favorite set of my favorite block! Well, it's hard to have a favorite set since the whole block was so amazing. I've got a case of each set that I'm saving for when I'm an old man, so that at the end of my life, I can sit down with my best friends, smoke some dope, and draft a bunch of Scars block.

[@reid2826]

Fun fact about this block: The basic lands form a panorama of the older artifact lands for each color and two lands from besieged can be added to each color to show the phyrexian influence on the plane. I absolutely love this block. Wotc why can't you make sets like this anymore?

[@cot1579]

I wouldn’t want them too given the incompetence of the current design team

[@aekole2]

Oh I remember drafting this set when I was 15! So naive back then, I passed on a Vencer just because he was out of the colors I was building my deck with

[@Hyperion5182]

6:25 Glissa the gift that kept on giving. Utterly nasty card you didnt even have to attack with her for that effect to kick in. So many decks she was useful in.

[@DeadyD0right]

that came out in 2011? way to make me feel old

[@Nathan_Coley]

I feel super old as I vividly remember when the original mirrodin block was released, skullclamp and the original printing of Arcbound Ravager. It was insane!

[@nathankaping3580]

by far my favorite set

[@ThewallyMan100]

Back when I played that set I went to a store in Knoxville for a PTQ for Starcity Game. I picked up the same box and got 3 swords but when I got home I got 2 boxes. In both boxes looked like that no swords and one ink moth lol.

[@flynnrider119]

Good day for cracking packs, openboosters got a good box also. I did not know blightsteel's were worth that much.

[@HylianMigz]

i started playing MTG around this block, cheers

[@GTZalet]

Same here, right before the Eldrazis popped up.

[@biggyoni]

This brings back memories. Started playing MTG in 2011...

[@sonsysy4195]

All suns appeared. 2 green 1 foil blue 1 of each wrb

[@m.f.634]

More old sets Rudy, Kamigawa block, Onslaught block, Mirrodin Block, Alara Block :)

[@MarioMartinez-jf1eo]

How does one go about ordering boxes once they become a patreon? and can you order boxes not on the monthly patreon list?

[@andypham4216]

Also had a red sun's zenith! Still awesome to see that box opening!

[@mrpanda750]

Man getting two hero in one box back when would of been a huge deal

[@TheTillinger123]

Damn that older artwork is so much more intense. Every card looks like it could be black^^Would love some Zendikar opening sometime!

Rudy, can you explain why some of the lands and tokens at these packs belongs to Scars of Mirrodin instead of Mirrodin Besieged? Thank you.

[@akrope8398]

Opened a box of this and two blightsteels and inkmoths back to back. Weird.

[@WakeUpUniverse66]

*RUDY DON'T KNOW WHAT STEAMPUNK IS*

[@saladtop8499]

My game store sells these packs for $3 which is insane and I pulled a massacre worm, consecrated sphinx, two heroes, and some praetors from new phyrexia with sword of feast and famine

[@MTGUnpacked]

Awesome set! I love the artwork from this era.

[@velkejkoren]

Silverskin Armor what a cool art I love it... And its Terese Nielsen no less

[@CrusaderGundam]

full colour spectrum solar conjunction!

[@daveyDQ]

So I literally got the notification for this video today. Just thought I should let you know Rudy

[@chumpypoodle]

i still have the majority of my broodstar deck from mirrodin deck and this just made me want to play it lol

[@Hedrfc2]

Remember opening a display of this back in the days. Got some real good value from it

[@AM-jz1wb]

Ok

[@Hyperion5182]

6:00 Spine of Ish Sah you could get some OBSCENE shenanigans with that card. I had a combo i could reliably execute that would give me five permanents destroyed in one turn with it. Not a tournament card but god that was a lot of fun.

[@deelight6022]

Look at that beautiful card quality!

[@Bloodfire83]

I love how you would pause now and then to let us appreciate the "art" of this set.

[@commentresurrection1841]

Got a pack of Mirrodin today from a Rite Aid 3 pack

[@spacegoat6431]

Flashbacks... I cracked so many boxes from this block back in the day

What a treat, thanks Samuel.

[@axey7476]

Rudy cant stop uploading!

[@Hotlog69]

Ahhhh, the good ol' days where mythics were not all front heavy in the box.

[@idunneedachannelffs]

i wouldn't mind hero of bladehold double tapping my face.

[@GoronRob]

Back in the day I begged my dad to just get me one pack of this set. I opened it in the car and pulled a foil Blightsteel. Next day, someone at camp convinced me to trade it to them for a normal Ulamog’s Crusher. Within a few hours, I realized my mistake and got the guy to trade it back to me. I’ve held on tight to that foil Blightsteel ever since

[@mpancake1629]

Don’t remember Hero of Bladehold??

[@kenerwin5716]

Why isn't mirran crusader in more decks? So good! Just bricks black and green and their removal!

[@Lucarioguild7]

Probably because it's a bit too fair of a magic card for Modern or Legacy, it does show in D&T every now and then though

[@Auriorium]

For me this set doesn't bring back feelings, but PTSD. I was there, fighting for a Pure Mirrodin and then I was Betrayed by Wizards.

[@doopness785]

Phyrexia had better cards

[@Auriorium]

@@doopness785 No it was Treason that won the day. And Above all else Phyrexia needs to burn. (Points if you get the reference about burning))

[@fullmetalmexican]

I'm tempted on buying a box of war of the spark and get hosed 🙈

[@fsmoura]

who isnt ( o.o)

[@noahthen]

Hey Comrade Rudy, have you seen NonCompete's new video?

[@eancycler1112]

Lol when he opened the second shimmer myr in box one he didn’t even notice that it was a duplicate

[@asphodel7935]

Thanks

[@untitledphysicist3205]

This is the set I started paying magic during

[@NTP0112]

yo rudy, I know that sealed boxes cant be shipped due WotC Policy, but after you opened the boxisnt it possible to send the cards outside of US? really want to support the channel if it doesnt work I'll still considering to support you

[@avher823]

OHMAHGOODNESS SCARS BLOCK OPENING!

[@imabear-ed2wi]

Hello I have a few questions in becoming a patreon how does this work so I give you $20 then I get to buy a box for 79.99 like these expensive boxes or how does it work I’m sorry if I’m not making sense I’m pretty new to magic I would love to get involved more in def but I don’t really understand how your patreon works honestly

[@jasongates6894]

Rudy doesnt remember almost any cards from this set.

[@mouseodious393]

Rudy opens my favorite set.mp4

[@kalb1430]

Suuuch a weird box, truly. Sidenote: That's my favorite set.

[@denchen420]

both pre release mythics XD anyone else remember that launch? it was my first prerelease event.

[@MrRant247]

Why do you cut on boxes like that???

[@eancycler1112]

[@puppyton2793]

For once the video wasn’t spoiled in the title

[@MtendoTheSkunk]

All 5 colors of the Zenith cards in one box!

Slag storm and Pestilent Spirit. Oh yeah baby.......

[@daltonmekis]

You forgot about the red sun zenith. You opened 2 green, 1 white, 1 foil blue, 1 black, and 1 red

[@fsmoura]

Is your Patron Samuel S. aka S-squared, a *Doctor of S?*

[@DiamondDovahkiin]

That rain in the background tho

[@mrnoname3855]

Rudy did it twice this video!! Why is he doing that?

[@BillyisBuck]

If two mythics occurred in the same booster box today Rudy would have flipped out 100x more about how the print runs are messed up

[@xymoriintus]

Memes dude

[@brookdefield]

Rudy, please make a video about MTG giving foil sheets as re-imbursement for the Mythic Edition disaster and the Class Action Lawsuit!!! Plzzz, we want your insight.

[@humanfartbag]

“Pees Os inside of your Box” lmfao xD

[@joshuamaitland1839]

I've never seen someone open so many double rares. It hurts my eyes 😭

[@Nnyisme]

Hope some hero out there buys a box of og mirrodin or legion

[@anthonywaynepalmer]

4:21 Sure Rudy... her hand.

[@Bolt27]

Rudy, if you had 1 box of war of the spark would you open it and sell the cards as singles? or just sellthe box?

[@Mephiston]

isnt the EV in spark kinda low?

[@Bolt27]

Mephiston he’s been saying the EV is $150. And he just realeased a video saying it’s on eBay for $110-$120

[@Mephiston]

Nah, thats due to everyone panic buying because of supply issues. He even said in that video that everyone thinks its gonna be another dominaria but it wont be because its literally the opening few weeks of release.

[@elmadicine]

Samuel S, also known as...... (rudy's brain: ABORT ABORT POSSIBLE KNOTSEE REFERENCE DO NOT SAY SS)....... S... squared...

[@jantodd12]

How is 2011 an old box?! Damn mtg is old! I’m old. Damn lol

[@thefunky_brassmonkey]

I remember when magic first came out we played the hell out of it. Stopped playing about the time Homelands came out, continued purchasing products but stopped playing the game. I got back into playing the game after 7 edition core set came out. Really got into it when Onslaught, Legion, and Scourge came around. Then 8th edition core set came out, not a lot of hype for it, but there was a lot of talk about artifacts coming after it. Rudy once said in a video that artifacts where considered rare and special in and of the game its self. When Mirridon first came out, it destroyed this concept. I fucking hated it. Affinity for artifacts was new, the equipment artifacts, colorless decks - obnoxious how people played this to their advantage, indestructible was new and people abused the hell out of that one word. For me it completely changed the way the game was played, and so I hated it. I understand that this is a different block set but it still has the Mirridon name, so I already don't like it.

[@Zen0phAge]

Inkmoth worth so much??? Its lost like 50% value in the last few years

Just curious as a 15 dollar patron, do you have to be a 100 dollar patron to open the older boxes. I would have asked this on Patreon, but that site is very glitchy when trying to type posts on my phone

No, I don't think so. You just have to have the money and ask him on Patreon
