[@Molimo95]

great box, dude lost only 90% of his money instead of the expected 95%

[@lanevisual]

So true. Its nice to see an Box opening. You can never geht the value in cards.

[@TopNotchCock]

You’re not thinking about the fact that they’re pack fresh tho. If Mox Diamond or Sliver Queen grade 9.5 they’re worth double to triple... who knows if they grade 10

[@Illusive1313]

The Mox is good enough for grading and could easily hit PSA 10, or BGS 9.5 and it's at ~1,300 to 1,500$. So, if he hits a good grade on that one, he made money.

[@Mentally_Hilarious]

@@Illusive1313 I don't know where you get your prices but a 9.5 Mox Diamond is only worth like $500 to maybe $600.

[@blastbeatindustries3191]

Guys, you grade all 36 rares and any decent uncommons at the bulk rate of $8 per card.

[@cameronjames3499]

"He sent them all off for grading and they came back as 9.5s" -0.5 for Creepy, Sticky fingerprints confirmed.

[@TisBoiGoTSkiLLz]

Man.. The art on this era of cards is so beautiful.

[@jonathanbaago5312]

This is how I remember magic from when I was a kid. Good stuff. Love the art and flavour. Took them out and just looked at these for hours

[@Bloodfire83]

My favorite part of this video was finding out how much my Stronghold cards are now worth after 20 years.

[@austinwilburn1772]

"Bandage, I use to be into that kind of stuff." That's a good joke.

[@DanielHernandez-zu5vv]

Gosh Rudy. You were just a kid hoping and praying for good pulls. The excitement in your voice is so genuine, so pure. Nobody can question your love for Magic. And after an 18 year hiatus, I’ve fallen in love with this game again because of you. Thank you.

[@Gezumo]

Oh man, Rudy, thanks for this video. I am from Uruguay and with some friends we used to import Tempest block booster boxes from the US. Such fond memories from the late 90s, Tempest, Stronghold and Exodus....the Weatherlight Saga. Amazing sets and now they are so expensive!

[@Illusive1313]

C'mon Ruby! You should put cards that are grading material in sleeves...

[@moxavenger]

Notice at the first Sliver Queen excitement Rudy carefully put the stack down rather than with his usual stack slam.

[@adamlovely2101]

The first pre-release tournament I went to was Stronghold. Revenant was the promo card everyone received. Dated February 1998

[@DailyScratcher]

And now we are at core set 2020 prerelease

[@clelvis225]

I haven't missed a single pre-release since the Tempest pre-release...have every promo from then to now(well, until they stopped)...I may have played them at lots of different stores, in lots of different states...but no matter what I have going on in life I make sure to clear the calendar that weekend...

[@Mana_Thief]

LOL Omygod I absolutely love Goblin Rudy's laugh @ 10:45 XD

[@reedhumperdink9004]

Rudy has gone nuts

[@liquid-slick]

I replayed that like 6 times lmao

[@vanillaice7749]

Getting excited about a $9 card in a $2000 box. What a time to be alive, boys.

[@kareem_da_ream1916]

The first pack I ever purchased for $2 back in 98 was Stronghold!

[@isaacoddo5704]

Anyone else notice that the pack with Hidden Retreat has two mana leaks in it?

[@akaiappears]

That sealed Alundra disc. I heard the town music when I saw it.

[@yuwish6320]

Oooooh, that Working Designs Alundra game box. I have that for Sega CD. On topic: I remember buying stronghold booster boxes at my local game store for 90 USD. Back when merchants would give you a discount for buying an entire booster box.

[@carlorobles202]

Who would unlike a video that could hold a mox diamond, the queen, ensnaring bridge???

[@Theprivatepsychodelicreel]

I remember I and my friend would buy a guy (it was a babagges store cashier) a Big Mac meal from twice a week and every time he would give us a box of stronghold sometimes two in exchange lol ! We had like 12 boxes each lol

[@jean-christophedancause5587]

Please tell me I'm not the only one who got it: "Bandage. I used to be in that kind of stuff".

[@not-a-theist8251]

Got it too😂😂

[@mindustrial]

For weeks Rudy has these Stronghold boxes in the background. Very nice advertising ;)

[@BarHonigfeld]

Maaaaan, every time you open a box from that era I get reminded how much nicer the old card frames were. It was a shock to me, when they changed them in Mirrodin and it is still a shock today.

[@darksideinc8889]

First booster i ever opened was stronghold with a mox diamond. I traded it for 2 dark ball lightning. I still have them, but they are almost white bordered now

[@DommyXMommy]

Oof

[@JoeCamarillo]

“That’s not a giggity” @13:00 plus. （笑）Rudy, keep on entertaining!

[@justink5207]

I love watching the opening of these older sets!

[@Frankje01]

Sold a Stronghold box a few months ago to a friend right before the sliver queen spike and he opened 3!!!! SLiver Queens (and a Mox and Bridge)

[@iticklechickens]

I really need to go back and look at all my old cards. I have a Mox Diamond laying in my bedside drawer, and had no idea it was worth so much.

[@fanhoop187]

shoulda saved my allowance and bought these to not open them. WHAT WAS MIDDLE SCHOOL ME THINKING/?!?

[@woody1337lol]

He was having fun.

[@markcalkins3447]

Same

[@supremeverdict359]

Mitchell Boyd bcuz back then.. You can't get rich with card boards 😂

[@fsmoura]

You can sell the ones you opened too, they move a pretty penny. Unless you used to do the _Concrete Moonwalk Shuffle_ . . . then you paid dearly for dem stylish moves

[@madzod0076]

I love seeing old pack like these and seeing the old art. Only started playing recently (almost a year). Hoping to find an old kamigawa fat pack as that would've been the set I would've started with if I chose magic instead of yu gi oh as a kid

[@Trisket]

Wait, did the pack at 7:55 contain two Mana Leaks??????

[@namoric]

and two hammer heads I think. nice catch

[@serdiegito]

Best era for magic..... Thank you Rudy for these gem videos,,,,,,

[@walter9231]

Rudy: dose old box opening Welcome to the jungle stars playing in head Wet little Timmy’s pants: wack

[@smey02]

0:52 wow what a nice cut animation HAHA

[@franckmeissonnier9442]

That angel used to have some hype :) love the memories though. The patreon has my respect :)

[@yiayiasboy6312]

Rudy I would like to request a refund. I bought a Timmy box from you but the only thing inside of it was a fist that came out and punched me

[@not-a-theist8251]

Why would you expect a refund? You got exactly what rudy told you you would get.

[@fsmoura]

NO REFUNDS kiddo, this is MTG finance, consider it a free lesson, you're welcome

[@PsyShinobi]

Art is great in these old cards, despite most is carbage. I wished I had seen in future 20 years ago when I quitted magic and sold my cards away. Had couple sliver queens and moxes that time, but propably sold them cheap :)

[@rodierth]

I remember i opened one of this box. I hit three sliver queens and two mox diamond. I have lucky 😊

[@honeyhorse4597]

This video had me giggling so much. The original burger king and porcupine comment had me laughing

[@adamdarrar121]

Im imagining the person who bought this box is watching and is literally peeing himself every time Rudy slows down for the rare 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥

[@adambandurak8913]

Holy crap...$2000 now? I member drafting this.

[@OstegoAmigo1]

Rudy on every other pack: I FORGOT THIS WAS IN HERE!!!

[@Pandahboymtg]

The only reason that guy got a 9.5 and not a 10 on those graded sliver queens and Mox diamonds is because creepy Ruby put his greaseball cheese fry home skillet tater tot slimey fingers all over them.

[@joechamberland2274]

Got a box of stronghold when it came out and I also got two mox diamonds and two sliver queens, it was epic.

[@bartenderbobmtg9809]

Funny thing. I won a Stronghold lot on eBay that arrived today. I was watching this video as I was going through the cards. Love this set also. Great times..

[@mattminnick9310]

Love the Rudy slow roll. Look look it’s a color.....it’s a color I remember!!!!!!

[@7Alberto7]

Ooooh i love the travelling magic phone intro everytime so much💯😂

[@dragonofthesky9999]

a couple of the spikes are actually massively played. i got the fog one sitting in my atraxa and its like 15$

[@joshuahoops9430]

Not bad he got back like 400 of his 2000 he spent and only got to watch a video of it being opened well worth it!

[@RygartARTB]

The Mox Diamond is almost twice what you say he got back alone.

[@-RTC-]

The pack with hidden retreat had two mana leak in it. Weird!

[@returnoftheduelist9790]

When the other had 2 damn mox diamonds and 2 sliver queen, you cant assume the boxes will all have that. Anything mox and im in

[@georgeasimakos1744]

Rudy has the best freakouts

[@NateBullock-ow6on]

Nice all 3 big hits! Best stronghold box i ever seen 👽

[@JohnDoe-tx4vi]

We need odorama for these old school openings, thanks for the show Mr. Rudy.

[@howgamer365]

Thanks for the reminder that nobody but Rudy buys 20+ year old box that only grandma is oiling

[@chumpypoodle]

I remember when this first came out i attempted to make a licid deck.... ahh the memories

[@valakutis]

Ah my old high schooll days, D&d and mtg. I actually had a spike deck growing up.

[@adolphus28]

the uncommon Constant Mists is the best uncommon in the set and just behind Burgeoning in value.

[@Ealdain]

I went to the stronghold pre release in Indianapolis. think i still have the card they gave out somewhere

[@Jarppispecial]

The only thing I miss about the 90's is MTG and PS 1 games. :P

[@chrissudlow8638]

Change of heart is one of my favorite art works

[@justryangeorge]

2 boxes at $1465 on tcgplayer... sounds like Rudy either price gouged the buyer or the viewers...

[@m.f.634]

We need more videos man... you can´t have holidays, you are too deep in this! WE NEED YOU! Yesterday you added only 1 video :((

[@hawkbear1]

...bought a box in 2008 for 385 CND, NOW 2K...WTf...should of...could of...

[@JoshyBoy219]

Thanks for this video! It really takes me back.

[@MTGUnpacked]

Patron expects a fist to burst out of the box into their face, but instead Rudy delivers some juicy goodness. Nice!🤩

[@guldarheel1204]

I knew someone that loved making thrall decks.

[@PaulissVegan]

i need a full playset of tidal warrior from this set :D

[@andykapsar4667]

i say this every time. that vesuvan doppelganger mat is gorgeous

[@TopNotchCock]

Nice! Pulled every reserved list card in the set, albeit there’s only 7!

[@dennisyoung6122]

2,000? Oof, glad I got mine when it was at 600. Pulled 2 queens but no diamonds, bridges, or strongholds.

[@Woadyn]

Here is my question... why is the box worth so damn much if statistically you cannot pull that value out of it? I mean what would you have to draw to get 7k in cards?

[@greendayfreakrct]

The box is only worth 1,800. Rudy just likes to hype stuff up.

[@jaredmorgan3665]

The Rath cycle was amazing

[@n0isyturtle]

I've looked into my crystal ball and saw Rudy tearing into a box of Future Sight. The Gods have spoken, and so it shall be.

[@foreverfalling6925]

Man, I watched the other Stronghold box just this morning.

[@GRat9717]

Friday afternoon, Rudy, Stronghold box. Seems good.

[@DommyXMommy]

See hits like mox diamond are cool until you realize that for the price of the box, you could buy almost 6 mox diamonds....

[@miruson]

legend has it if you say „i forgot about that card“ a wild rudy will appear in front of you

[@l_galand942]

The other box's sliver queen lost 0.5 on the grading due to Ruby smacking the box with his inflatable sword

[@aiden9607]

Love these old box's

[@jkcv_ncrew]

how old is this set, like from 1998?

[@golddragon1123]

"This is an old box" no giggity? I'm upset Rudy..

[@zackschilling4376]

Thumbs up for the sealed Alundra

[@ProphetZMTG]

Hey at least you got a couple of constant mists which is 8 dollars a piece

[@screwthenet]

Right up to Urzas Saga...this was the end of mtg, with great cvharacters and one hell of a conclusion. After that, its all been... Oh to wax le nostalgic so. ^,;,^

[@Rossbrian1]

Wow that 250$ card will really pay off the box

[@jonathanmellette8541]

This is SO weird. KZbin recommended the other opening to me a couple of days ago, and now this? Maybe this patron got the same recommendation...

[@leonardotecchio8419]

Best art in magic's history. wow

[@fionncaomanac339]

Rudy isn't moaning as much as he usually does with these boxes.

[@anka042]

I would totally buy a perfume of the old magic card smell. Attract the 3.69% women who play magic.

[@sportspicks7898]

You guys aren’t factoring in that all these cards are pack fresh and would grade 9 or higher, doubling the value of those big hits.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Rudy! You forgot to count the Tortured Existence lol

[@Tarkov.]

Evacuation would be too good at cmc 4. On a similar note, Blizzard just retired Vanish because it was *too good* of a clear for rogue. (Vanish is basically the same exact card.)

[@Tucandroll]

The only box i have ever bought. spent $300 got about $10 worth of crap

[@ScootaGray]

Can these channels opening these "amazing rare 1 left in the planet" boxes start wearing GLOVES pls😭 so hard to watch.

[@natalieportman3057]

Scoota Gray Why would you ask creepy Rudy of all people

[@chrisrhome6638]

The pack with Hidden Retreat had 2 Mana Leak, that was awesome.

[@PaulissVegan]

yeah i saw and was like 'wow that can happen'

[@chrissudlow8638]

I have a few sealed copies of alundra....i've been collecting forever....my favorite sealed video games are the neo geo ones....you should check those out if you want to diversify...i also love sealed sega saturn games

[@KevinSilva-wv3yf]

“PACK FRESH MAAAAAHHHHhhhhhhh...”

[@michaelschuler2711]

When he pulled that mox diamond he was like my precious

[@smashpie]

RUDY DONT BURN YOURSELF OUT BRO. I understand if there was an international RUDY DAY. Where Rudy dosen't touch KZbin. Maybe only does a Sunday consolidation. Over a favourite drink. (I assume his favourite drink is either Water or 1993 vintage wine)

[@Luxorcist]

Yo Alundra is such a dope game, i wish theyd ramake that in like HD2D or something

[@Meowmeow.age.6]

Wrath cycle is my favorite. I member these days.
