9:13 Rudy framing this seller as being angry and calling it a scam.... Nothing they said was emotionally charged, it was completely factual. The box selection didn't fit their desires and they wanted Kaladesh boxes that Rudy stated would be available, but in the end, were not. That's an entirely fair reason to cancel a subscription. It's a waste of money for that Patron. Rudy is making all these ex-Patrons out to be horrible people with unrealistic expectations. God forbid someone cancels their subscription by saying it's not enough of a benefit for them.... Unless a Patron is a dedicated investor buying a significant amount of boxes, they aren't even offsetting the Patron fees with their purchases, so for casual players it is absolutely a bad deal to take all around. That $79.99 price point only makes enough of a difference when buying in bulk.

[@tygonmaster]

While I agree Rudy is reading too much into some of these, you do need to acknowledge he did say many of these patrons sent him PMs. This just shows the patreon account removal notices. He is only showing half the story. Conveniently, it is the most vague part of the story that he can use to mold into whatever the fuck message he wants though, soooo....yeah. If Rudy wants any pity points in this, he would show the whole story. As it stands, people are just laughing at his rhetoric, which is fine. Never take shit Rudy says seriously. It is comedy. Good comedy episode. Bad for literally any knowledge on anything. "People are angry" to Rudy has always meant "people slightly do not like a deal and voice that calmly." Nothing new there. Rudy is back to his old lying, clickbait bullshit, folks. Strap in while Rudy straps on! owo

[@KillaLOGdelphia58]

Yeah this really does seem like a bad faith attempt by Rudy to make the Ex Patreon member look bad over something that's very reasonable. He likes to meme about it but If theres ever a valid reason for people to 'hate Rudy' its disingenuous framing like that to make Rudy appear like the vicim...like c'mon man.

I agree it's hard to make a judgement with half the story... But it's hard to argue agaisnt the fact that most people on internet are toxic. Especially when they are anonymous. Given a voice to people that were not heard before and a false sense of purpose with likes turns some people completly crazy. I do not have any problem imagining that Rudy was harassed for any stupid shit he might have done or said at one point. That is the internet in a nutshell

[@JustMonikaOk]

Here is my feedback for Rudy. Two years ago I was that guy that left a thumbs down on every Rudy video, and made snotty comments on 'MTGFinance'. Then I watched one. Then two or three. Then I started listening. Rudy gives down to earth, good sensible life advice. I work in Finance. His lessons on bonds are spot on. His warnings about not investing when you don't have the cash are right. He's absoultely correct about chasing steady growth. He's spot on when you should build a diverse portfolio and invest for the long term. I now watch Rudy every day. Even the stupid made-for-entertainment box openings where he gets all the prices wrong. Now I leave a thumbs up. Not because Rudy gives a crap, but because highlighting good content means more people will see it, and maybe they'll be one less broke Timmy in the world.

I feel like the overriding problem for most of these people is they want an, "easy money-- quick fix-- shortcut" which is common for the post social media/Internet culture.

I've only been a patron for a few months, I'm sure I'll eventually order boxes but isn't it also about supporting the content creator? The cheap boxes are just a bonus in my opinion.

[@brewcrew7550]

It is both. He does a great job but$15 a month is a bit high for supporting. $5 is reasonable just for supporting. Think about it, $15 is a Netflix Subscription. But with the product offering and the access to him via messaging, the $15 is well worth it. This is true even if you are just buying for yourself to open pack and your own collection. Otherwise you are paying $90 -$105 a box.

[@adamgregory9198]

I was a former patron who really enjoyed supporting Rudy and his quality content. I didn’t go away bitter or angry and I’d like to give my feedback as to why I cancelled by monthly patreon account since Rudy doesn’t touch on the reason I stopped. I collect magic heavily-I play a lot and I invest a little. I buy old expensive cards as investments when I can but typically, if I’m buying new/sealed product, it is to open and accumulate a complete play set of cards. I don’t invest in modern/standard cards, I buy them to play with or to get a full set. Rudy’s patreon is GREAT for people like Rudy who are looking to invest and build a position in sealed product. But for players like myself who are just looking to get a sealed box or two ever couple months, the allocation period and the accompanying wait is too much. If a set is only standard legal for a few months, by the time I got my hands on product, the newer set was either about to release or had already released. Theros had released before Rudy started offering Eldraine due to some allocation period hiccup. Maybe other players are happy being three months behind but for me it was a problem. Essentially I was always a set behind when buying boxes from Rudy. I didn’t have a “panic or fear reaction” as Rudy says a lot of us do. I just wanted to play with the freaking cards as soon as possible! A PLAYER can’t wait three months to touch a box of Eldraine OR Theros, an INVESTOR can. Rudy is a great content creator and I miss supporting his work financially as a patron. The bottom line for me was it was just too much of a wait because I was mostly buying the cards to play, not invest. If you are looking to invest, it’s a great option. If you’re a serious or even just a casual player, I doubt you’ll want to be three months late to the party. I also thought at some point Rudy would “open the vault” and sell us some older sets and that doesn’t happen. Keep up the great work Rudy! Most of us former patrons wish you nothing but the best and still appreciate everything you do!

[@flashmagic2886]

Hey Rudy. Is there any way to be a patron still and get the box discount?

[@Tamarocker88]

4:08 "That is technically true" So, to be fair, this was a legitimate reason for a Patron to have a problem and to end their subscription and to call it a scam. If the Patreon description at the time of subscription clearly stated that Booster Boxes were $69.99 and that same day after the subscription went live, the price suddenly went up to $79.99, that Patron is getting the raw end of the deal. Doesn't matter what the sets are worth. Bottom line is, the Patron wasn't provided the deal that they signed up for. Now the ex-Patron's over-the-top respone is another thing entirely, but I think it says a lot about Rudy the way he dismisses the Patron's legitimate grievance.

[@basti__]

Did you even listen to what he said? It wasn't as simple as someone just getting angry over the fact the prices went back up again but the continuous harassment that followed after. As much as the anger of the patron is understandable it is still Rudy's decision and the patron can just go up and leave. But no, he threatened and slandered Rudy and god knows what else.. So much that Rudy decided for himself even if an opportunity arises where he could lower the price again, he would not dare to do so because of said individual. Sadly many people are too entitled and don't have respect to their fellow men anymore. Rudy even pinned a comment that is speaking up against what Rudy said thus acknowledging your viewpoint as well but that is just common sense and wasn't the topic of this video at all.

[@Tamarocker88]

@@basti__ I did listen to what he said. He didn't focus on the fact that the Patron freaked out in DMs. He made it seem like it was ridiculous for the Patron to cancel their subscription at all. To refuse to lower prices all because of one person who actually got screwed over despite having an overreaction is an overreaction and emotional response on rudy's part.

100% Agree.

[@clubadam1]

Agreed. Same here

[@jthorn9]

Hey Rudy, I never got an exit survey but wanted to give you my reason. Name is Jeremy Thorner and I was one of your original $10 subscribers. Long story short my credit card got hacked and I had all auto payments suspended. When I got the new card I only renewed auto payment on a handful of accounts to minimize the risk of another theft. So that action automatically canceled your subscription. I quit buying boxes from you when EVs per box tanked and I could no longer flip them for profit but I still contributed because I loved the content. Then I moved back home to Louisiana where magic is dead in this area and I sold my paper collection and moved to online play. So long story short love the content, loved the deals you offered, but a combination of card theft and moving back home killed magic for me. Rudy has never done me wrong and like I said, I was there from the start. He offers amazing deals, and if you’re highly active in the game, and or looking for an outlet to invest the $15 or $20 subscription is worth it if you have the capital to do so. Love you Rudy and I’m so sorry you have to go through these nut cases that don’t appreciate what you offer. I’m a manager in sales and I deal with it every day, go out of your way to help someone, often at your own expense, and they want more and bash you after, just some terrible people out there.

[@marcrichman2523]

18:21 "Rivals of Ixalan at $150 a box" . I just checked ebay - the most recent 3 sales were below $110. Does anyone know where he got this number?

[@gmgrudgemonster6051]

I remember picking up all the slow selling sets; Shadows, Eldritch, Kaladesh, Aether, Hour, and Conspiracy 2, booster boxes at my LGS, as they went on 'Sale' for $90 each (regularly they were $120) not the lowest price, but not too bad for brick and mortar. Sets werent selling and the shop didnt want product that just sat. The best deals they had was on Iconic Masters at $125, and Masters 25 at $149. I bought a couple boxes of each. Not a huge investment, but it was a start. LGS sells out now, so no more sales since Dominaria came out.

[@greglewinski2088]

People whining at $79.99 seems odd when LGS's by me will sell sealed boxes for $105-$115 as preorder prices and the general online price I see is $95.00 per box. How much cheaper do you want it? Rudy says he sells those boxes at cost or even a loss! Get a taco bell party pack and try to seduce a distributor directly if you want cheaper prices that you'll still complain about.

[@jamesdriggers2011]

When are you re-opening patreon? I'd love to buy at $79 instead of $89-$92 for new boxes!

The way I see it: most boxes at an LGS go for $100+ after taxes. If you’re a $15 patron and buy 2 cases in a year, you still save $$ and get the return on the boxes. Everything after that is straight discount. Additionally, Rudy has been good to me. Still holding Conspiracy and Dominaria boxes for a rainy draft day which he helped hook me up (and others) with. Also he’s a fan of Violator, the best Depeche Mode album made by Depeche Mode 🙃🤘.

I became a patreon because I liked the content. Not with the expectation of getting astronomical deals on boxes. I think Magic is the only product that has a guarantee of making a profit, just depends on how long you are willing to wait. My Urza's Saga box will remain in my safe until it hit s 5K.

[@kelvaldoria4208]

What I don't think people don't understand is that Patreon is meant to support the person, it's not necessarily for the tier rewards. If you want to open your on store, then get a distributor. If you don't like what is being offered, then don't buy the product. But even if Rudy wasn't giving you gold that you can cash in 5 years later, you know what you are "supporting" when you clock his Patreon. You not only get access to steady rate boxes at a good market price, but you get to hear the recent news, or actually talk to Rudy AND get a reply back.

I was patreon. Canceled for a few reasons. $15 a month after a year comes out to $180 i could have bought mtg products.

I dont mind supporting the channel hence I did 1 month subscription. If you can change your process on buying and selling to be more efficient let us know.

Stay the course people. I sold the Kaladesh box, and Orgins box, and commander 2016 To Card Kingdom for store credit about 2 years ago. From my purchase point as a Patreon I did ok, but I def should have held onto them. Another lesson I learned after the fact. I should have broken down the Commander sets and sold the singles. I would have done better than selling them sealed, oh well.

I would give my left nut to get boxes that cheap. UK prices are jacked

Call me crazy, but we will have this same discussion about Theros Beyond Death a few years from now. Smashed between Throne and Ikoria with all these other products, feels alot like Eldritch moon.

The biggest scam is all the Timmi's buying new product from you, so you can buy reserved lists cards

[@Dorian_Gray83]

BINGO!!!! Most of his videos are about selling standard legal GARBAGE to patreons, that are OVER printed to OBLIVION. Then turns around and BUYS OUT reserved list cards. Now he is also buying personal COLLECTIONS for pennies on the dollar...😂🤦‍♂️🤣

[@peterswanson4228]

The Taco Bell ad that rolled at the start of the video can't be an accident. It's like they know Rudy or something.

People complaining about $80-$90 boxes where I am you can’t buy booster boxes of standard sets below $110 US unless you order a case or more and even then it’s only a 10% price break.

[@punkgerbil]

The 45 thumb downs are all disgruntled ex $15 - $20 patrons. I live in England and if I could get sealed boxes for $79.99 I wouldn't be whinging about it, I'd be sending my money. Some people don't know when they've got a good thing going. Peace out Rudy, you the man!

[@best_dad_bod]

Jokes on you Rudy! I got the last pateron slot and I'm now expecting a case of collectors Ikoria at $69.99 or I'm canceling my order!

[@omarsmemorybank]

Rudy sold me a box of floppy tacos for $79.99 in 2016 & the value still hasn’t gone up “SCAM!!”

[@Ifyouhavethecoin]

How many of the guys tried to come back, did you let them?

[@nantukoprime]

The pain point that prompts a decision is usually not the pain point that most influences the decision, but will be the pain point that is referenced as the 'reason' for the decision. Brains are weird like that.

[@FlashBackChild]

what’s everyone’s favorite set out of the current 79.99 boxes Rudy has posted

[@Alexlorne82]

Is the tshirt guy still going?

[@theterminal4647]

Can't help but noticing Diablo 2 on the left high corner ! :o :o Do you even have the time to still play ? Best game in the world with magic

[@haendel123]

I left your Patreon because you never sent the signed basic land. But I love your videos!!!

[@magnevox]

rudy, when you say "we can't have these certain conversations" ...due to the inability of having reasonable conversation with such polarizing views. i think "we" can though and need to. I would appreciate immensely if you would do a video on Nielsen and other topics. The country is at a ripe time for these talks imo and like you said; the situation is the same as 2016- people are still the same. i still am a patron (return patron due to that financial stress years back). the world is still spinning.

[@Lock2002ful]

Yeahh, but online though? I mean look at comment sections on social media. You really think you can have a normal discussion like an adult when you have people screaming “SJW!!” and “racist” at each other? It’s like the normal people can’t have a nice debate anymore without the loud minority from whatever political spectrum or ideology will constantly poison the discussion.
