This Rudy Keeping a common narset but trowing down one special tibalt

[@franalations]

lol

[@SerchBrony]

to be fair the common narset is worth 3.85 as of this moment and an alt art tibalt is 3.50 so like... one is more expensive

[@The_FireSpitter]

Lol of course Tibalt would be the one that gets set in the uncommon section.

[@aldotrioksidi]

I'm kind of mad about it, since Tibalt is legitimately one of the better alternate arts.

[@lroyall6687]

I have a question Where do you guys check prices? In which website?

[@clon1122]

today we learned Rudy has the memory of a Goldfish

[@Archon83]

Oketra who's that ?

[@enternalking8527]

baffling indeed

[@LeKrutes]

Vind it strange and frustrating that for someone ho makes a living with magic. He can't remember the art of a lot of them.

that box is insanely insane..

[@hammering16]

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

[@ChrisGump2000]

Immediately after filming this video Rudy called his distributors and asked for all the Japanese War of the Spark

[@thiago7963]

First he checked the names of the cards, then flipped the f out when he realized what the hell was going on.. then he called all the distributors of US and bought all japanese boxes

[@christopherrahman1358]

This was all a fake reseal but because it was all good cards there's no suspicion. Marketing that's good for all. Since he could tear it down the sides he never checked the glue.

[@Flumpor]

Probably the most insane War of the Spark Box I've seen

[@liamcolligan1215]

This box is BONKERS!!! Even in english this would've been insane!!!

[@oscarremus2083]

That box is hacked man.

[@Janitillo]

89.99

[@concongaming]

His box was worth over $300 and rn they’re $120 just ordered 3

[@Malice988]

Best way to tell if its alternate is that the name of the artist is in Japanese and English.

[@wunglu176]

Doubtyr apparently Rudy doesn’t understand this simple concept 😅😅😅😅😅

[@Yrzi]

also the text box is see-through

[@bryanbonar]

RIP alt art Tibalt and Wanderer that were usurped by the combined forces of normal art Angrath, Davriel, and Narset. Juan but not forgotten.

Alternate art foil tamiyo is $100 TCGPlayer Edit: Yo, since when is this comment even remotely desirable?

Rudy i love you but it was hilarious seeing how much you weren't able distinguish the regular art from Japanese alternative art after all of the patreon boxes you opened

[@trayvordemonslayer]

man i couldnt tell at that samut, so for someone who doesnt even play it must be tough, too bad he doesnt care enough to actually research anything ahead of time lol

[@nickbalmes6640]

It was so funny, it actually hurt

[@jamesmullins1102]

Let's play, " is this alternate art?" Who knows Game.

[@CC-vv2ne]

Or you could look at the bottom where it shows artist name, if its Japanese moon runes next to English. than its alt-art

[@Gravelbone]

I'm old school as you can get, but those Manga Variants are killer. That foil Tamiyo was sexy.

[@myztklk3v]

if magic released an entire set of just japanese art cards, I would buy them, and I dont even play/buy paper really, it would just be really cool.

[@jmommer1982]

All foil alternate art cards for the whole set!!!

[@vulpesdump9518]

Moon Mom Thumbnail is the best thumbnail Edit: foil tamiyo, Habemus Tamiyo

[@jeremybutcher13]

You left the alt art tibalt in the regular pile. The first narset and the angrath are regular art.

[@sauyon]

the angrath is alternate art? unless there's another one

[@sauyon]

Ok, the first Angrath is alternate, the second isn't. He also he put a normal Davriel into the alternate art pile, as well as an alternate wanderer in the normal pile that he seemed to completely miss.

277 in fucking planeswalkers alone? Plus the more expensive gods and a secons foil rare? That box value was off the charts.

[@elrictchernovkov8083]

alternate art is supposedly 1 out of every 2 packs or 50%. Have seen a couple other box openings, and none of them even came close to this. That box is 11/10

[@ShinkuDragon]

the only boxes that came close to this good/were this good were boxes with liliana. that tamiyo is absolutely goddamn gorgeous.

[@schucker88]

xBlackPhantom98 The guy shipped the box to Rudy to open.

[@MTGUnpacked]

I didn't pull quite as many alternates as this, but scored an alternate Lily!🤩 Love the alternate art! The Narset you pulled early on was regular art. You also put a Tibalt in the regular pile.

[@jimmyspencer2143]

Rudy, I just want to let you know I love your content. I have to say that Jeremy from unshleeved is the one that really made me appreciate your content. I just watched his exposing alpha investments video for the second time. I'm just a casual player, but your content is awesome. Keep doing you (not that you need my approval) love you man. If I ever get to meet you in person I just want to shake your hand and give you a bro hug.

[@harkra]

Jeremy is a toxic asshole though. Rudy is the man.

[@sasanmottaghipour876]

Also regarding the amount of alt art, it's actually 50 percent. So half the box is alt art :-)

[@njso18]

That foil Tamiyo was the first time i've audibly gasped at an opening you're doing...absolutely love the card and want a playset of the alt art foils. super jealous.

[@SongOfDeer]

Lol, that is one of the most value-packed box of WAR you opened. Without counting the alternate-art ones.

[@brianramos6372]

I love how every walker is “alternate art” to Rudy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Conflict_Boardgaming]

I buy a lot of Ding-Dong- an awesome, tasty Filipino snack mix, at the Asian market. It's bag is fluffy too, because it's packed in Nitrogen... to preserve freshness. Maybe those Asian Magic cards are treated the same way, maybe because of the heat & humidity...?

[@believeitorelse]

Woah! Thanks for the box opening Rudy! That was even better than my box with Alt Art Lily in it. I can't wait to get that foil Tamiyo! It is my favorite Alt Art from the set.

After opening this box. What’s the over/under on number of boxes Rudy buys?

[@mtgtv1384]

That foil Tamiyo paid for the box on its own. I’ve opened about 15 of these boxes, and on average, you’ll get 12-18 alt art planeswalkers. The average per box is probably 14.

[@georglieber2158]

Didn’t think I would ever get hype for a WotS opening again!

Hey Rudy, Which way do you tap your lands?

[@patchmo7]

I'm new to the channel but I LOVE your content! Have you opened Kamigawa packs in the past?

[@rakiest]

You're getting an old school + Japanese vibe. They look like they were actually hand drawn, which is what I think you're enjoying

[@PCproffesorx]

First I was triggered by the narset and the davriel, and then i got doubly triggered when he opens a japanese narset and it falls almost right beside the normal art narset and he doesnt notice. Then he has both the alternate art angrath and normal angrath in the japanese pile and doesnt notice.

[@daviandezov4314]

The tibalt alt in the Uncommon pile adds to the triggers

[@HungerTheLetsPLay]

One of the artists that did alternate art for this set (Liliana) was Yoshitaka Amano, who was one of the lead character designers for Final Fantasy (Up until Final Fantasy VI, but he kept doing promotional art for some of the Final Fantasy games after that). I know you have interest in the Final Fantasy series, so I thought I'd mention that. He's also credited with creating and working on several other popular Anime and video games.

[@maniatikoleal]

This is definately a nice box opening. I got bored watching box openings but here there is a charm to the cards, its something different.

[@dantedebene]

Fantastic hearing Rudy struggle with which are normal and which are alt.

[@takiherosquires1372]

man i love the artworks like bankrupt in blood and deliver unto evil. the cards just come to life with such a painterly style and it feels waay more precious than the 3d rendered hybrid art that they commonly use now.

[@Piroko1]

We need the alternate artwork cards in our sets like that.

[@bgeda]

Would love to see another opening of this box in JPN! this box was awesome to watch and you're absolutely correct about the art. The reason is most of the pieces were done by traditional means with ACTUAL paint.

[@Squireissocoolie]

Rudy confirmed Weeb-Nerd guy.

[@jazoinklastname4289]

6:53 that's my favorite alternate art of davriel

[@Postpar]

12:15 what you are seeing is passion going into the artwork again. something that has been missing from most magic artwork for a long time.

[@SoundsOfSushi]

Wow that was a really good box opening

[@DopeyDopes]

that feeling should be when the artists has their creative freedom applied on the card

[@natelinhart114]

There's a Japanese War of the Spark box at my local game store right now for $150. Is it worth the buy at this point?

[@patterofheads256]

The reason the art has a classic feel is because for the first time in 7 years there's no agenda behind the artwork direction, they just want it to look cool.

[@ghoohg551]

Managed to pick a box of this up for 40$ cash and the rest in store credit :P Didn't get an alt art Lili unfortunately, but got the alt art bolas.

[@chainbladeallience]

CSG in Jacksonville was actually the place I hung out at a majority of my time down there, some really cool people work there. That being said, I thought it would be necessary to add that was a normal Narset and the Second Angrath was normal, and a special Tibalt, the rest were accurate reactions pm
