The BOOM and BUST of Commander 2013

[@droleht1557]

Rudy buys core 2020 for $60 a box? That's crazy talk. We all know Rudy prints and seals his own cards.

[@SimplyPhenom69]

lol

[@TheBooswig]

"Life work in funny ways, everybody. You always have to remember that whatever you guys are going through in your personal life, remember just because its negative in the moment, doesn't mean it's going to be a net negative in the long term." - Rudy, Long time fan have been watching forever! Needed to hear this!

[@rjjm88]

I swear, Rudy's excitement opening packs and grounded optimism in videos like this are some of the best things on KZbin.

[@TheBooswig]

@@rjjm88 Agreed man!! Love the oak!

Alright, I actually laughed at this comment 😂

[@TrainerDLYellow]

Rudy, you make me feel better about missed opportunities, and inspire me to be prepared for future investments. Thank you for all you do.

[@jhook6865]

This is like Doc Brown explaining the alternate 1985, where Rudy is powerful, corrupted, and married to your mother.....

[@salrusso8768]

1.2 gigawatts ! Fire up the flux capacitor !

[@koelkast9]

I mean... my dad is nice and all, but his position of commander 2013 sucks.

[@DingleBerryLord]

Some of that advice in the end was super needed, like thanks. 💜

[@bdsmkit]

Hey Rudy, thank you for the video and the knowledge about commander 2013. I really appreciate the life lesson you gave in the video. I have nothing but respect for your videos and point of view and wish you nothing but the best.

[@mattpopich1901]

Hey Rudy. I have been a stock broker for 5 years now and absolutely love your videos. It took me years to understand (while losing money in the process) what you very eloquently illustrated in this video. I hope more people watch this as it can genuinely help them. Thank you sir. Keep up the awesome work

[@drewgoose]

Dammit Rudy, you're the only magic channel that can put tears in my eyes. Keep up the positive content and life advice. You're the real deal.

[@martinzyka6432]

These white board videos are top content! love it. more stories! more!

[@deltafork468]

There's a saying in the investment circles that I run in: "You only get hurt if you jump off the roller coaster early".

[@PurpleTentacle17]

Just-got-out-of-bed-rudy reminds me of a college professor who taught economics and acted pretty wierd

[@clonetf141]

It could have easily been rudy, investors make really good economics teachers

[@nightowlyt5570]

"They amplified my ability to expand" Great work Rudy!! Love your videos!!!

[@jordanshuriken]

I remember being so excited when I found out my lgs was selling mind seize decks for $50.

[@quatha]

Been watching you for more than a year Rudy - I honestly believe this is one of your best videos yet. Well articulated and impressive you can go for 30 mins without getting too repetitive or editing the video. This reminded me of a quality college lecture session. I don't even invest in Magic, nor do I plan too, but this was still an interesting lesson.

[@Obelisk_Isle]

Rudy I say this with the upmost respect and happiness that you do these video: Yes, I did learn something today. Thank you so much for taking your time to make these video. I think these are great and are genuinely the hidden gems in KZbin.

[@dovel1000]

Thanks Rudy. Love the "different lens" perspective.

[@TheBooman]

Het Rudy, broke college student here. Thought I'd let you know that these videos are both interesting and helpful for me. I love the stories and I love watching the markets move, and these videos help me know when to buy into things when I do have the capital later on. Haters can do as they please, but I fully support this channel as it is basically my favorite YT channel

[@CotySchwabe]

Motivational speech AND Investing lesson? What a great video! Thanks Rudy!

[@Vaphoron]

These videos are why I stay a patron. I can't afford the big investment opportunities, I hardly can buy boxes from you. The wisdom is priceless. Keep it up.

[@jackintos]

Ruby , what's special about your channel is you also being an investor and not a full time youtuber . That's what keeps your videos fresh and it's what makes you stand out (in my opinion) so don't shy out from actually doing something different from the crowd . Love your videos. Ps look at the end of the video what appears on the whiteboard gigidy .

[@MTGUnpacked]

Another fascinating MtG finance history lesson from Wolverine Rudy. I didn't know exactly what I was watching back in early 2017 when I stumbled upon this channel, but it was entertaining even then👍 Interesting how you consider the haters on Reddit helped grow the channel to this point!

[@brianwilson6287]

Love these long form videos. This series of videos arent gonna get the instant views like the box openings because timmys wanna see cards, not data that can help them overcome life hurdles. We all appreciate the priceless information. Thanks Rudy.

[@willthethrill8661]

Rudy I admire you for being able to take the hatred and turn it around like that. I also experienced the same thing, and it really shook me up.

[@jeremycarman8980]

Rudy, I wish I could hug you! You're the best! Thank you for the awesome information and knowledge.

[@PrimalHuntCheeks]

How did he not end up drawing a knob on that board? I thought the dip at 2015 were a set of swangin’ balls for sure.

[@TimidTortoise1988]

One stop shop for Magic, economics and life lessons. Love me some Rudy!

[@ericgonzalez923]

Always dropping golden nuggets of knowledge! Love it

[@MrUshiikun]

These videos may not get the views that the box opening do, but that just shows the algorithm is dumb. This is the high quality content I'm here for.

[@scpomegaprime5081]

I'm watching this video on Wed April 20th 2022 and the information Rudy is giving out is still of value. Thanks for keeping up with these types of videos, they're very informative.

[@piggisattk]

Yes Rudy I watch 20 to 30 minutes into these longer videos, they’re great!

[@pricherMTG]

Rudy, spanish here, your words are gold in this one! Thanks!

[@justindo881]

I don't know what you are talking about Rudy. I love these 30 minute white board videos or any of your educational videos. I watch it all the way through multiple times! It's has so much spice and useful info. The videos, themselves, are well worth the patreon donations!

[@brooksnorthcutt668]

It's a shame these videos aren't getting quite as many views as the others. These are seriously your best videos. Watching these helps me clear my mind of clutter and focus on what matters so I can get where I need in life. And it just so happens to be Magic-centric!

[@crimsonstripes]

Great video Rudy, a ton of great lessons in this one. While I’m relatively new to Magic and your channel, your videos have been a treat to watch. Being a business major, it’s so cool to see these two worlds of stocks and Magic come together. Very interesting and entertaining. Keep it up man.

[@mpellis22]

When ruby said get wrecked. It reminded me of Jim brewer in half baked

[@MrJuma1978]

These are amazing videos. Thanks for the info! It would be interesting to see the timeline of revised dual lands. I was not in the game when they spiked to ridiculous numbers.

[@blacklanner5795]

When buying product the are only 3 absolutes. - When you hold it, the value never goes up. - When you sell, it skyrockets after. - When you buy it, the price drops.

[@nightowlyt5570]

Black Lanner this is so true

[@lewman187]

Best video on Magic investing that I've seen in a long time. Thanks for the early Commander pricing history, I had no idea. Keep these kinds of videos going because they inspire a lot of people (me being one of them). I started playing/collecting MTG in 1994 and I've seen a ton of booms and busts in that time (I mean, I remember buying revised packs 3 for $10 and people complaining because it was just a hacked up Unlimited set). Thank you!

[@jwooten827]

Not gonna lie, these crash courses in Econ are great. Basic principles lay underneath all of this

[@mrlucky704]

I would edit in some sound effects that go with what your saying like....commander went up, so we hear like a sound that signifies going up...would be extra work but still cool

[@mothball7170]

Whenever I start to feel weak and want to sell my meager positions for the cash boost, I always try to remember your advice about the long game. Short term poverty is worth it in the long run if I just hold on to what I have and keep building.

[@TeraNazantia]

I'm here from the future to tell you no one is selling these as a set in English on eBay right now. Love your vids Rudy.

[@imperatoreTomas]

I watched this for 30 mins Rudy. I love your videos

[@evileyeball]

Preface all of this with as a canadian all mentioned prices are in CAD I bought 1 complete set of 2013 for myself at retail (Big box MSRP) + three extra decks (Oloro, Derevi, and Marath) at Retai (Big Box MSRP)l as christmas gifts back in 2013. I heard about how Mind seize was becomming rare and valuable so one time on a whim I picked up one extra copy of Mind seize at MSRP and then the crash happened. That one Extra sealed Mind Seize deck is sitting in my closet now. Goldfish tells me its like $69 average and I paid somewhere in the market of $40 CAD. But I do agree with you on the long game. I'm into an NES megaman set for just under $50 because I bought them in 2002... Now 5 alone is $100 and the prices keep going up slowly over time. I didn't buy them as an investment I bought them to play and to have fun with but I love knowing that my $50 has grown to at least $200 Same with the 6 Doubling season I own which I paid $15 for 4 of back in 2008 and the other two were random trades / a modern masters pull. or the Alpha Goblin Baloon Brigade I put in my Common/Uncommon Cube which has shot way up from when I got it.

[@TampaBayCBJ]

Rudy I love this content. I'm totally pleased to watch and listen to this. Personally though, I'd highly enjoy you going into the next levels of complexity with these scenarios. Market predictions Rudy, Market predictions

[@MTGMOXMAN]

Yep he is correct. I do the same just on a MUCH smaller scale

[@Raven_Leblanc]

13:30 Walking away with more cash in your pocket as you came in, that's a win any day of the week in my book... Anyways, good video, and a nice life lesson at the end. Thanks, Mr. scumbag creepy Rudy, sir, for your time and effort!

[@brainspider]

Another excellent video Rudy, also happy birthday! Makes me wonder if you're a fellow Leo.

[@yetaruvin]

Last month, I bought the Mind Seize precon sealed from an eclectic local warehouse for $15.

[@GamingBear_Q_E_D]

Re-watching this .. well it really ages well, as we all knew it would! :)

[@ohkurat1]

Great video! Do more like those, this is your niche in the MTG KZbin arena, this is where your life experience contributes the most.

[@AmbianceXBL]

I prefer these videos, they are full of fantastic information. Maybe some people don't like these videos like Rudy said, but these are my personal favorites

[@tibaltsapprentice]

All BS aside, THANK YOU for making these vids!!! They help!

[@spottbosse]

Hi Rudy, long time viewer from Sweden. I must say that i have learned a lot from your videos when it comes to Magic investing and Magic in general. From what I've learned from you and my own analysis I have built up a nice collection of cards that I think is a safe investment which will give me a nice return when I eventually sell them. You say that people dont like this kind of videos but I must say that I love them, I think they are the most interesting and "in depth" analyzed kind of videos when it come to Magic. So if you ask me, keep 'em coming cause they are interesting as hell! Keep up the good work Rudy!

[@jole5468]

when i did stock trading a few years ago i exclusively traded in videogame company and electronic stocks because i knew that i could exploit the falls after the products didnt sell as well as people who bought high thought so i kept buying low and selling just after the new big game or apple product was announced and then when the new call of duty did poorly i bought as much as i could get and the 3 years or so that i did that i never made less than 50% higher than my investment on the stocks i bought. its kinda weird to see the same patterns in magic finance, but i see that the way people react to financial troubles are similar no matter what product it is that is having trouble

[@PETI258]

The attitude that Rudy has is just outstanding. I hope he will be part of the "Magic" world for more then a few years as he promised (at least on YT).

[@ryanaymar9124]

I watch and listen to the whole thing, love these videos. Keep it up Rudy, keep being you!

[@michaelsander2878]

I watched the entire video. Thank you for being you, you are a positive voice in my life and I appreciate it.

[@throsetube]

Rudy, You need a camera man and/or a producer so you don't have to worry "is that camera running?" If I wasn't stuck in Canada I'd offer my services! I love these type of videos sir. Great job! Great advice!

[@LillyVonT]

This is the type content I crave, almost as much as I crave tacos. Thank you for enlightening us on the history of products. I know you’ve teased the idea of a “White Board” video on your trips to hose town. Looking for that video so we can learn how to avoid those pitfalls or just learn how to deal with the not so good ideas. Thanks Rudy!! P.S. I do think you’re sponsored, not by WotC but Taco Bell

[@Raithwall1]

Rudy...keep doing what you're doing man...i literally watch the whole literal video and literally enjoy every second of it. Literally no one out there does this and that's why you're literally successful. Jokes aside..thank you for providing the content and entertainment that you do

[@stereodark]

60$ a box for a standard set is probably below the distributor price. No store or individual buying from distributors gets such a low entry price, I’ve seen friends running large store chains who order multiple pallets of each standards set buying boxes from players for up to 65$ as 65$ is below their purchase price.

[@mechatigrex2335]

Negative energy is not inherently a bad thing, nor is positive energy inherently a good thing. It’s what you do with it. Thanks Rudy

[@georglieber2158]

Rudy, I know these videos don’t get as many views as your other videos in the short term, but you have to keep making them for posterity. This series tells a story no one else can tell and I’m sure magic players even a decade from now will look back at these videos and learn from them. Like anything built to last, you gotta think long term.

[@davidfuxx250]

Hey Rudy, big thanks for sharing this type of video and personal experience with us. For me, I buy into the specialty-products like Ultimate Masters with 3 units - one for my (2yo) son, 1 for me (to draft with some guys/girls/duderinos in smokings and with cigars) and one for the LONGTERM. I knew it not much but I that is what satisfies me in all mentioned way. Again - biggedy thanks - for those kind of videos. I always enjoy them. Greetz from Germany.

[@WhatsHisFace2013]

Rudy talks about Magic. I am thinking about the stock market and the upcoming recession. Totally applies. BUY THE DIP! Keep up the great work, Rudy.

[@crimson90]

I love these videos. I prefer them to the box openings. I drive a lot for work, so I love throwing these on and just driving.

[@darinwynder7207]

28:38 in and still watching...the smart eyeballs are still here

[@k0olmini11]

When I bought my iconic masters at $180 on release i couldn’t find a buyer and gave up. Now I’m finally breaking even

[@blackmechawsome]

Rudy I always finish these videos. The knowledge you share in these whiteboard videos helps me not only in magic but in all investments. Keep these up it’s my personal favorite of yours.

[@uchihasasuke7777]

Always enjoy your videos where you share your experience and give out some wisdom along the way.

[@rgtxkent3850]

Rudy !!! This video is just awesome. Many important information . Really appreciate what you do for the Magic community

[@alexgaspar2525]

I agree with you Rudy I bought a OG zendikar booster box on Ebay they offered 20% off fathers day promo last year I paid around $375 I sold it for $500 I have used that money to rebuy and resell stuff I have made more then the extra $150 it has gone up since then.

[@santaslayer77]

I watch this for background fodder. I will never be an investor but it's so fascination to learn about it

[@TehTechnoGuy]

can we take a minute to appreciate how rudy acquired this huge ass white board that we only see probably a third of?

[@rubix2007]

I'm thinking of making a shirt for myself : MTG I'm playing the long game. (I've been collecting oldschool since 94)

[@chrisvickery6511]

Hey Rudy, you talk about selling your investment to take profits so you have no capital "tied up", but still have some of your investment. Is it possible to do the same thing with say, stocks. Also the hair and scragle are wonderful.

[@vwkflynn]

Thank you for bringing The Positivity in these videos!

[@williamlingg2263]

Thanks Rudy. This advice is wonderful. It's time for me to use some of it. Seriously though, thanks a bunch. This has changed my outlook a bit and maybe the long game is where it's at after all.

[@philipchiu9835]

Happy bday Rudy 🎂🎉🇺🇸 May the Black Lotus gods shine upon you.

[@Caroline-pr4rn]

Rudy I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate your advice and insight but this is one of my favourite videos that you've done.

[@Clabian96]

I always watch these until the end. Giggity? Anyway, love the whiteboard videos. I think they're very important for posterity. Love the visual aid!

[@carumsarene]

I feel like there's an illusion to this whole investor thing. Yes I expect a set to *slightly* increase in price over time, but the overinflation is totally to blame for investors who have literally never played a game of Magic in their life. There are good and bad investors, and I really wish there was some type of way to gatekeep people from buying sets, like you need to have some verification to say you legitimately know the product you're handling.

[@ajaxjackson1220]

The white board videos are your best content. The repack video was A1 as well.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Happy Birthday Rudy! We need a B-day video!

[@capreus1983]

Darn I love this content!!! So inspirational for me, this dude has had a huge impact on my life, like whoa! I am to the point where I am thinking about only stashing sealed product for like over 20 years and then dusting the displays off and seeing what the old relics are worth!!!! Funny!

[@useyourlefthand]

These are the best videos you do, entertaining and informative. The views need a bump :)

[@felixkolk2230]

Love the video's. Much better than all the box openings. They are fun, but also widely available. Personally enjoying this much more, just to listen in the background.

[@blacklanner5795]
