[@VinnieKielbasa]

Was there an Avacyn Restored unpacking on the channel yet? I tried to find it but to no avail. This is one of the greatest channels on KZbin, by the way. You brighten up my day, Rudy!

[@Rorschachqp]

Yup, I knew that. I’ve pulled the double partner foil rares and the double partner foil mythics. I think it’s possible to pull 4 mythics in one pack if you get foil partners and the regular partners. The previous record was original Innistrad where you could get a foil mythic plus flip Garruk mythic plus regular mythic, for a total of three mythics in a pack...with the possibility of all three being planeswalkers (Garruk, Lili and foil Lili). In BB, you can get the Kenrith twins in both normal and foil in same pack.

[@Halophile95]

The Rudy effect is in full swing. This video influenced me to buy a box immediately upon finishing.

[@HobbitCrom]

Man I watch your videos everyday, I look forward to them every time! I would love to see you do some live streams of mass box openings or something. Would be a really fun and cool way for a non-patreon like myself to support the channel.

[@Hinaguy749]

Recent follower but I love your channel. Watching this video reminded me that I had been wanting to buy a box of Battlebond for a while but kept putting it off. Then when you got to talking about the price jumping up I decided to buy one before it went any further. I'm not really interested in investing in sealed product so I opened it and had a blast. But about a third of the way into it I almost had a heart attack when I got a foil True-Name Nemesis! Thank you so much for this video! I plan on selling the TNN on ebay and putting the money towards a box of whatever next set that really catches my fancy in this game I love so much. Keep making great content and doing what you love.

KRAV, MY MAN! I can't believe he is hitting 6 bucks. I opened a 6 blister pack last summer, I was pissed pulled 2x Regna, 2x Krav, Angelic Chorus, Mangus of Corondor, Mangara of Corondor, and a Thrilling Encore.. Only 1 Sword and 1 Chain Lightning.. It's up there with my Four 6 Pack Chaos Draft Packs (lost at least 4 dollars each, got only a Search for Azcanta, Twilight Prophet, and a freaking Demon of Catastrophes M19 FOIL).. And I've opened fat packs with 2 Shock Land, 1 Foil Shock Land, and a Hydroid Krasis, nothing will beat the RVA Fat pack.

[@terryfeynman]

That opening was insane, the first box had 200 bucks (pretty much exactly, according to mtg goldfish) just with the rare lands, the mythics and the foil seedborn muse, and there was a ton of non bulk rares on top of that, like the 12 bucks regular seedborn muse and all those partner cards. Maybe someone has the energy to look up all the rares ? My guess would be pushing 300 or even beyond that. As for the second box, those foil partners alone are 26 dollars, so that happened, and the lands, the mythics plus the foil pair are 183 bucks. No wonder those box prices explode, this set has eleven rares that are over 5 dollars and six that are 10+ dollars. Fucking rares, not mythics, plus if you hit toothy, imaginary friend (4.50) you are guaranteed to also hit his partner Pir imaginative rascal at 8 bucks, so it nis really 7 that are 10+ dollars, since the 2 should count together and. If you get a pack for 2 dollars. As for the mythic slot, only 3 shitty ones under 5 bucks of 15 mythics in the set. The average mythic price is 15 bucks (14.80 exactly) and 4 are above 20 dollars. So you have a higher chance to get a 20+ mythic then getting one under 5 dollars.Almost half are over 10 bucks. So basically you should hit 60 bucks just in mythics per box (if you get your 4, this box had 5) You can still get a few boxes around 130 bucks, but they will soon be gone.
