"Shahrazad is an interesting card because of the whole story there with how Richard Garfield feels about it", proceeds to not tell story >.

[@ajnpuccio]

Beyond the diversity of mechanics and cards in general, Legends is probably the best example of truly iconic card naming and some of the best real hand created art that ever existed in the game. So many of these cards, given a different name and artwork would go right in the garbage can, but there is a magic in this set that just makes them greater than their game play value. It's a testament to value beyond 'value' in a gaming context.

[@mr.batsquatch967]

Watched every minute. Loved every minute. I always enjoy these vids because it's like taking a trip back to my childhood where I fell in love with this crazy game.

[@NovembersDooom]

I watched to the end, and every second was enjoyable. Watching you get soooo excited over these old cards will never get old, it really shows just now much you love this game.

[@harold4thofhisname.499]

i love when rudy gives a shoutout to the artists.

[@420Pikachu]

Can you imagine selling a starter deck you bought from Rudy' s eBay back to him lolool

[@TyranitarStudios]

it was all just beautiful, the previous owner was really taking care of his collection.

[@TopNotchCock]

Ever notice how several of the sets with reserved list cards often have treefolk as the final RL card from that set? Arabian Nights: Singing Tree Legends: Wood Elemental The Dark: Wormwood Treefolk Urza’s Saga: Weatherseed Treefolk Then you’ve got winter themed cards as the final for all the ice age block sets: Ice Age: Winter’s Chill Homelands: Winter Sky Alliances: Winters Night

[@enigmaohawaii]

it's legacy not saga btw(how did no one else catch this?)

[@denizthebig]

U will not believe it i started again with Pokemon and Yugioh and recently found a couple of ur videos and started watching im not even collecting magic but the last days when i go on ebay hunts or looking for cards i let play some clips from u in the background kinda just hearing ur voice, it gives me chills idk why but its chilling also i started watching them actually also thx man ^^

[@jettjedi73]

I love the Juzam Djinn and also the Jovial Evil card had amazingly cool "evil" art :D Great video Rudy!

[@TheKillerqueen86]

I love long videos like this I learned something new everything thanks Rudy

[@psychozen7169]

This video made me dig out all my legend cards. Why I forgot how many great cards were in the set. Just need to feel and touch them.

[@alanc12402]

Legends was a really special set. Nostalgia value at its finest.

[@Frkr.]

Great video Rudy. I feel much younger during watching. Not that floppy magic taco like, when I add this video to my all-time favs.

[@megajuancarlos27]

I am now inspired to collect a complete set of legends. This is a great set in regards to art and I have always been a fan of the art for All Hallow's Eve.

[@buk6708]

Legends is 2nd only to ice age art.

[@deadrabbit7418]

Rudy, I don't play Magic but I find your videos super entertaining, especially the openings. Without fail I always watch a couple videos after I get off of work. Helps me unwind. Keep flopping tacos man. Flop 'em as hard as you can.

[@playlikeagirl3805]

Happy to be one of the 3.696969% here. New to collecting mostly reserve list now - can't touch the sealed market. Thanks for the shoutout for the ladeeeeezzzzzz

[@shibbidydoowop]

I was 12 or 13 when my uncle gave me a ton of revised sets back in the early 2k's. Mercadian masques was the set that was out when I started getting them on my own. I remember going to the store and buying boosters for all the old sets. The ice age boosters were some of the more expensive ones then; and I remember the Urza's block boosters too. Man this brings me back.

[@thewizardmerlin]

Thank you for sharing the history Rudy. i mean buying that videos :D

[@senorwesty]

Loved Legends so much! I got lucky and owned a few through trades back in my 94 playing days. Then in 2007-08 I was buying sealed packs off eBay. Got really good cards a few times! I even liked the blue and gold booster packs themselves. Thanks Rudy for the video!

[@dereckdeutz]

I love these Magic: The Gallery videos!

[@lionsharted2625]

RUDY! Djinn is pronounced 'gin'. The D is silent. Hence forth, I'm taking a shot of Timmy's Djinny Gin every time I hear "Da-Jin".

[@NiceGuyPCTV]

I am quite dismayed at the lack of English comprehension a lot of the Magic 'tubers exhibit. If they had stronger vocabularies, the names of the cards would start making sense. Example...Oubliette. The title tells you what the card is about, if you know what an Oubliette is. Granted, it is derived from French, but still maybe do a lookup one time. BTW Rudy...it is pronounced Ooo-blee-et (yes I know you butcher some names for comedic value). Some of these guys have been in to Magic since the beginning...and 27 years later they still can't pronounce the card names. Proper names and made up words...that's forgivable. English words, face palm.

[@antoniop1017]

@@NiceGuyPCTV Somewhat agree, but to play devil's advocate - many people who started playing MtG when it came out were kids when it launched. We mispronounced cards over and over, and those mispronounced names stuck in our heads over the years. Sometimes I catch myself saying a card name how I learned it, then I'm like, why am I saying it that way - that's not the name at all! hah

[@TealGaming-fb8bs]

Stankafucile I’m saying this comment might get pinned.

[@lionsharted2625]

@@NiceGuyPCTV I mean.. Not disagreeing but this was just for the lulz.

[@jaym3z33]

he pronounces some things wrong on purpose. like i do hard j for jalapeno and fajita to drive ppl nuts

[@coryrigali4675]

Those sleeves are pretty easy to use. You insert the card about 75% of the way in, then pop the flap in, then sort of slide your thumb on the flap until it locks the card into place. Tolarian College recently did a review video where he dunked the cards in water and they didn't get wet with those sleeves on.

[@marciikaknal]

Thanks Rudy. I now cant get the image out of my head: Drunk Rudy on his balcony yelling at his parents why Legends is the best Set.... ....throwing floppy Tacos

10:16 ah the subtitles said “Chrono crash” good job tricking the system Rudy

[@zeldalink1388]

I was hoping you went through all the cards cause damn them feels.

[@FunGsCollections]

2 years later thank you Rudy for the history lesson

[@KrepsyK]

Its true. It is nice to own old card. Not to play with sometimes, but to look at and collect and reminisce.

[@HeroineDark]

As someone who switched to the dragonshield folding inner sleeves after the professor's video....slip the card in upside down until the opening of the sleeve is inline with the black/red symbols. Then fold the flap around, slip it under the flap, and use the tucking of the flap to push the card in the rest of the way. They're weird, they make sleeved EDH decks too big for most deck boxes, but for the higher end cards they're worth the hassle.

[@ForrestWillow]

great video thanks rudy

[@patryknowak2793]

The inner sleeves by the way, are the Dragon Shield perfect fit sealable sleeves. If double sleeved, they’re water tight.

[@sciurine]

I love playing magic on the bottom of the swimming pool.

[@FanEAW]

they really arent water tight. i tested them with a 5 cent card and it got damaged when double sleeved.

[@Yellow_Magpie]

@@FanEAW yeah, water tight is defo an overstatement, but they are definitely more splash proof than traditional inner sleeves. How good the seal is on inner sleeves is just as impacted by the tightness of the outer sleeve. Pair the dragon shields with some tight ultimate guard katana's and you're going to have a much better seal than you would with the much looser dragonshield standard sleeves.

[@sionglooi8170]

I was bummed that I started at Revised and missed Legends. Back in the days Legend packs were super rare in Western Australia and were about $15/booster when Revised ($5) were out. Had I started in Legend I definitely would of try for a complete set

Honestly I could listen to Rudy talk about MTG cards all day! Love how much he appreciates the history! Brings back so many memories!! 90's Magic was the best!

Oh my God, Rudy. Show me some pretty cards.

[@chuckturdburger4612]

you gotta leave a bit of the card out when you put the flap in, then sort of roll it down while moving/pushing the card

Pepperidge Farms remembers when most regular humans started magic.. small little boxes of legends, arabians, and antiquities on the cardshop dealers stands at the local swap meet.. hey look at this 2 dollar legend dude.. oh man - look at this hasran ogress.. oh wow 100 bucks for a lotus card?? dude my mom gave me 100 bucks for babysitting my sister.. LOTUS aquired.. and then sold back because i wanted to hold, to smell, to own other beautiful pieces of artwork, of power of MAGIC!

[@oafkad]

Those sleeves keep out moisture. Great for keeping foils flat.

What are they called?

[@Jimmy242006]

Rudy I did a quick search on eBay for a Legends booster box, and for a measly 17,999 dollars, you can buy a box of Legends to draft if you want :) I'm not kidding btw, it's the only English box available right now with a buy it now option!

[@ericsimon2286]

I paused the video to read the card. Unpause and Rudy says pause the video if you want to read it. Instant laugh

[@Idorac]

Leave 1/8th of an inch of the card proud of the base of the sleeve to help guide the tab in. Goes 10x faster, more taco time.

One other thing, I'm pretty sure Spectral Cloak was uncommon and was one of those cards folks love to slap onto Ali from Cairo :)

[@puffpuffer]

I rarely ever comment, but I had a question in regards to the reserved list... For a regular "timmy" would you recommend buying one $500 card such chains or Candelabra or multiple cards at a lesser value? Things like "All Hallow's Eve which are cheaper and have suberb art.. Regrdless, thank you for the years of informative and entertaining videos!

[@adolphus28]

I reckon 5 cards, as a minor form of diversifying like All Hallows Eve is good as a start.

[@mattf1787]

19:45 HAHA RUDY LIKES OLD CARDS 😂

[@digitalnomad9087]

I think starter decks are undervalued because of price perception. People remember that a starter deck like challenger goes for $25-$30 something on the market but when a few of the cards creep up in price in it they remember the sticker price initially. Even with commander decks for Zendikar and Kaldheim, people didn't think it would have been as good to start out because of the price point, but the Elf deck shot up in price and was sought after on Amazon

[@enigmaohawaii]

Fun fact a lot of the legends cards were characters from a D&D campaign

[@charliep5591]

One of my my fav ways to play...150 card deck w all crazy cards that goes 30+ turns and takes an hour per game. For Ante

[@bajexe]

Arena of the ancients is hilarious if you happen to have someone playing legend tribal in your playgroup!

[@johaadganor1684]

MTG question. How would reprinting cards on the reserves list change or hurt their value? It doesnt make the older cards easier to get. Would assume it would be like remaking collectors toys from the 80s, the new ones would still be new and the originals stay just as scarce.

[@voluntarism335]

most people buy the cheapest version of a card a reprint would crash their value as people would just buy those, iconic alpha/beta cards will still hold value

[@1998wiwi]

Almost all these expensive cards are expensive because they're very strong, and thus played in Legacy, Commander, and Vintage. If they were reprinted, they'd only be left with whatever value they have as collectors items. Look at trash cards from alpha, they're not really worth all that much compared to the good ones.
