Painting and statues take skill to create and hold historic value (most, not all) sports take skill and endurance, music take talent and years of hard work to create (once again for the most part). Playing cards are a created and controlled market. Either 1 or 1,000,000 of each card and be printed. The value is only worth what you will pay. Nothing more. So yes it is just paper, you just say its worth money.

Hey Rudy! A small tip for lowering that reflection problem of yours, circular polarization filters! A simple piece of glass mounted on the camera lens, rotate it in position and bam, most reflections eliminated. If you want them totally gone you can couple that with some linear polarization film on the light sources and that will eliminate essentially any and all forms of glare completely :).

[@barath4545]

Feedback since you asked (for deck inspections): Get a tripod, so you get your hands free and a steady focus. Jeremy does this quite well, so ask him for exact setup advice. Also, if possible, if you film from 3-5 feet up from the table, go UHD/2160p resolution and a steady fixed focus, so we can see everything at once in big detail. As for those without UHD capability right now; This is for future proofing all the hard work of filming a video. Just like "AAA" movies are filmed with 4K/8K million dollar cameras to be released in full detail when the world is ready for it. There is very little "backshine" on the reflections, it's cool. Maybe get an 100W+ uplight (Ikea has a good one for $8) with an equivalent bulb of the wattage (So a 21W+ powersaver e.g) and shut the curtains to eliminate outside shine. Just my 2 commons.

[@FlourescentPotato]

UHD doesn't really matter, just a good tripod and holding all the cards up close, not from 5 feet away.

[@11219tt]

barath4545 another suggestion is to take your stereo mic and sum it to mono for the video. The constant left right panning effect in headphones makes me dizzy.

[@richardkocksworthy8423]

What the fuck is an AAA movie you fucktard. Do you know how small 8k actually is? They do not film many major films with 8k Red digital cameras. They are actually cheap really. The older the cinema camera is the better. I think old panavisons from the 1930's were like 64k.

[@RizzyWow]

I'm pretty sure this is worth more than $30,000 lmfao

[@OnlyZunkin]

Nah, that's probably not a bad estimate actually. People look at things like Black Lotuses and think they are worth like 30k each but unless they are in perfect condition and from the really coveted early alpha and beta releases they aren't nearly as valuable.

[@126643]

Pretty cool deck Rudy! Do more of this please, I didn't get to play early MTG and I had a lot of fun with this video. Thanks!

[@barath4545]

Question: Swords remove the Tetravus from the game so the Archeologist cannot bring it back. Are you sure you didn't just remove opponents crap with the Swords? Also, even if its a "triplet of mana cost" deck with workshops, its odd to me to not have Aladdin's Rings in there for big mana big power. The Urza Lands combos is absent, but of cause with that many moxes, Sol Rings and a Candelabra and of cause the Winter Orb, you did not need em in this setup. Incinerate was not in the game till Ice Age iirc. But you probably meant Disintegrate (since you mentioned Fireball as well as an X spell). I remember a lot of burn decks do Lightning Bolt, Pyrotechnics and Fork though as Fork didn't copy the X in the X spells.

[@AlphaInvestments69]

you are correct, i realized i said that after i filmed...o well :-(

[@ShinPG]

you might have been thinking of Coffin with Tetravus. You can reset Tetravus every turn with that.

[@OnlyZunkin]

Yeah, gotta give the man a break. He probably hasn't played the deck in a decade or so.

[@ViolinBassPlayer]

Actually, Fork does in fact copy the X in spells such as Fireball or Disintegrate. Look it up on the Gatherer's official card rules.

[@barath4545]

Huh? ... (Speaking about Fork) That's new then from back then. We use to have that rule but then it was explicitly ruled (during 94-95 isch) that it did not copy the X of spells. I guess it might have come back as a rule, after it got restricted pretty fast? I am 100% sure it was not copying X during that period of time at least, cause I had 2 and decided against playing them much as that combo was ruled against. Until it got restricted.

[@drilah4246]

I have no clue what he's talking about... but I'm just so entertained.

he can do the same thing with the triskelion though, so it's not really a big deal. probably just slipped his mind cuz it's been so long since he played with the deck. Triskelion is the card he used to kill off/suicide his creatures. Swords is an ~options~ card. It's not a part of his main trifecta, which was triskelion, tetravus, and archeologist.

[@GoblinKoboldGaming]

Alpha Investments, I know you're a money guy so you may not need to hear this, but because I've had a personal experience with this, please listen. Awhile back, a boardgamer had died. Some other family drama stuff happened, and so his entire collection of boardgames, which go for something like $60 each on retail, was put in an outdoor shed and crushed under the weight of the other boardgames. One day, the wife of this boardgamer died, and so distant family of the deceased living in another state inherited the house and its contents. The problem is, they wanted all of this stuff gone ASAP, and so they were about ready to throw all of this stuff in the dump. My dad managed to go in and try to buy a lot of the stuff, thus preventing it all from going to the dump. Sure enough, between the board games and old RPG books (which we had thought were worthless), we made several thousand dollars off of buying the lot. However, your stuff is clearly more valuable than several thousand dollars, since you've got 30k right there. So, my advice is you make sure your family understands the value of your collection, and also that your family knows the best way to sell the stuff so, even if they have to sell it under value to get rid of it quickly, they still get a fair amount of the value back.

100k? Are you nuts? He had 2 lotus's and what 6 or so moxes? You do realize those were only unlimited lotus's correct? And that they only run about 4k give or take. So you have those at well just say 5k for good measure plus the moxes that's pushing 20k maybe a little more plus the workshops at 1k a piece so you would b at around 24-25k with those and you have a candelabra thats about 600 or so. So yeah his 30k estimate for that deck is a pretty close estimate. Idk where you are pulling this 100k shit from its definitely no where near that

[@danhallas3546]

Basically all that power was from unlimited so it's not nearly as valuable as the alpha beta shit. 2 lotus's is 10k plus the 6 or so moxes is another 9 or 10k on top of that plus the workshops at 1k a piece (so another 4k) and a candelabra (600) plus some other shit that Def has value. 30k is definitely a good estimate by rudy for sure.

swords doesn't work that way

[@AlphaInvestments69]

you are correct, i realized i said that after i filmed...o well :-(

[@Volrath64]

It's Alpha Investments, he do what he want!

[@altercell_]

Wow! What an interesting deck! I would have never thought to build a deck like that when I was playing when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing!

[@andypinnow8511]

Using Swords on the Tentravus would not allow you to reccur it with the Archaeologist because it exiles.

[@letsrushcat9221]

the TCC opener lmao

[@janusgemini5697]

winter orb, trisKILLon yeah thats some old school deck tek.

[@PeterHamiltonz]

Just watched a bunch of your videos and wanted to say thanks. This shit takes me back several lifetimes...You know your shit.

[@user-ox6vc2zc3h]

This was child Rudy's pet deck. I remember my pet deck back when I was younger. Thx for the memories Rudy.

[@clynnwilkinson8980]

Thanks for sharing your personal collection with us. I know personal this stuff can be.

[@GoblinmasterYT]

doesn't that life swap artifact say you can only do it on your upkeep? also, swords puts the card in exile, unable for you to reset the artifact flyer.

[@alecbader7433]

Deck looks great! But I found it very funny when Rudy explained game mechanics that don't actually work, when the main subject of the video was supposed to be that he did play Magic.

[@natelittle3878]

Great video, Rudy. It was fun taking a trip back in time. I miss all the alpha and beta cards I had 23+ years ago. Keep em comin!

[@Zoomsoldier5]

My college tuition is literally laying on the table

[@shazaamshazaam9710]

Zoomsoldier5 just the first 2 or 3 cards is enough lol

[@TommioRS]

Well, make more of these. I wanna see ALL your decks you dont play anymore!

[@bulbamon3567]

I love that old Howling mines card. Good days! Makes me think lotus petals. Beautiful cards, me brudda

[@devinhoshigaki9825]

nice to see you had some fun with your cards too.

[@matheusgodoy42]

>65 cards deck LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE

[@norz6549]

yeah what is this, a battle of wits deck?!

[@bigidiot123]

Wouldn't it suck if magic actually died and all those cards became worthless?

[@Dimplepig]

DrK even if magic as a game collapsed in on itself those cards would still have value due to other collectors. I don't think rudy would care about that though. he'd be pretty busy trying to offload all his actual stock lol.

[@SelflessResurrection]

I collect dead card games and some do in fact have value. Even if Magic died value would still be there.

[@barath4545]

Trust me, that thought has happened X times before to collectors. I thought it happened at FE/Homelands in 1995, I thought it again right before Urza's Saga. Again in 2002 isch when prices tanked and interest went from Urza high to drab low and only hardcore ppl carried on. I sold my duals there and expected to buy Moxes noone else wanted in 2005, but that did not quite happen :) ... Any fear of gloom has been much worse in the past though. Vampire the Masqurade cards were big at some point and died, same with B5 CCG (Great game btw) and so on, but MtG has never really hit the floor worse than right after Homelands. Mirage was such a breath of fresh air after what seemed like years where noone bought new cards (Except Chronicles) cause who will buy 4th/IA/FE/Homelands when you could get vintage cards for not that much more.

[@Tinskap]

it would suck but that wont be happening any time soon

[@eartianwerewolf]

I feel like Pokemon and Magic probably aren't going anywhere. Not sure about any other franchises though.

[@TabletopJason]

Okay, I was just getting ready to say "You can't have more than one Lotus blah blah blah" when you addressed that. Funny stuff though. Always love seeing the cards from the golden age.
