If you don't have time to watch the entire video its essentially 25 mins of creepy Rudy going: " GHAAAAAALEEEE LOOK AT THAT ART! NEVER SEE THAT ANYMORE..."

[@lpbouchard14]

You forgot about those "HOLY SMOKES AN ALMOST NAKED WOMAN ON A CARD!! WHO APPROVED THAT?!?".

[@spicysalmon8590]

That's every box opening video of Rudy's....

[@Kantuva]

And that's what makes em gud

[@MV60]

Just saw that 5th dawn. "that would never be approved in 2018".

[@anarchond]

Whats really funny is as i was reading this comment, thats exactly what he said. Lol

[@matts2502]

Future Rudy 10 years from now opening Core 19: "Look at that! They don't make them like that anymore. Look at that artwork! So much value"

[@MidgarMerc]

*opens $150 worth of cards in $450 box* "THE VALUE IN THIS SET IS OUT OF CONTROL! OH MY GOD! ANOTHER ($2) MYTHIC!! OH MY GOD"

[@mannyk1986]

Must be one heck of a voice acting class that Rudy took. He can’t really be that excited about these sets if he doesn’t keep these newer cards.

[@otomustam7000]

In 10 years from now the only characters Wotc will be able to print without offending themselves are gonna be slimes, and not even the cool colored ones, they could be mistaken as racist propaganda! Just plain old color-neutral and gender-neutral slimes on every single cards!

[@danielrigano8148]

All I will say is that if you take a look at not only the artwork of the cards but also the themes of the new sets, you will find a world that is missing something. I'm not saying that Wizards or Hasbro has gone necessarily PC (though, with the way some of their employees act on social media, it is definitely seen that way), but in all honesty, things back in the "hay-day" of Magic like times of Fifth Dawn weren't carefully crafted or planned to fit an idea; they were making cards that did stuff and looked cool, which was part of the big pull of Magic. Nowadays, you may have one card that does what a multitude of cards did in the past and it makes players not want to go out of the status quo to build their decks and collect like sets in the Mirrodin block or even before that caused the player base to think about. It's painful to watch the entity that so many people love become bland because they have to match the status quo, and if they don't, then their company loses out, though many will find that loyal player-bases will stay strong and will bring back those that left if they take risks, which Wizards hasn't done in literal years.

[@derekroberts5931]

5 years now.

Hey Rudy, thanks for the shout out! Just got the cards in the mail today and they were some awesome pulls!

[@gabriellecisneros9295]

Outside is raining. I am alone in a foreign country, and 15 minutes later is going to be my birthday. I have a glass of wishkey, and a Rudy's video that lasts 25 mins. Simply perfect.

[@dangelobenjamin]

Hope u r still doing well

[@theundergrad5994]

Happy birthday

[@anka042]

Now I remember why I was so drawn to Magic. Such great art! I started a few expansions before Fifth Dawn

[@ajvasta]

film skip shenanigans at 22:41 when foil serum visions is replaced with another

[@xaer0knight]

actually if you watch his other videos.. he talks about his camera doing jumps around the 23 min mark. he even pauses in some videos when it does it.

[@xymoriintus]

I've never seen that in any of his videos that was odd

[@user-wr3wt3hs8g]

Mystical Glimmer i think it was sarcasm lol

[@adventureswithlightbulb]

I did notice every one with serum visions had a wayfareres bauble before or after and seemed odd.

[@georgefalcon14]

@@adventureswithlightbulb i opened a box back in 04 its how the sheets were printed back then, much easier to predict

[@Peranine]

I like seeing these old cards. It seems the art fits well together. Heavy fantasy influence. Reminds me of the aesthetic from movies like Krull. Ah, and we're up to 0.07%. A whole 1% is in sight. Soon...soon.

[@Orvos-]

This was the set that got me into magic.

[@kiasta1]

Same for me, I thought I was so cool getting those expert level packs lol

[@felixbillington6151]

As a commander player, I love this set. I think it’s really tasteful. Then I remember playing standard. *shivers*

[@spooky_zen]

dude i love fifth down so nostalgic. i came back briefly from vintage area to this set.

[@dominoautonomy4750]

Anyone remember Doorway to Nothingness? That was a fun and janky card from fifth dawn even if it's not worth much.

[@corypmullen]

yes! my favorite casual deck was a b/w door deck with artifact lands, emissaries, and life gain to gonzo the fuck outta people

[@johannpohland2826]

Ramos, dragon engine approves

[@dominoautonomy4750]

@@johannpohland2826 oh, I totally threw it in my 2017 dragons pre-con. Lol! It's so much fun when it goes off.

That card won me a game after a board stall. Opponent had Pariah Shield on a Phytohydra. You've never seen so much salt!

[@GreatKingOfLipnice]

Yes. 5 color dragons is where my doors are hangin in too. I love politics :-D

[@KhaosTheory76]

"Life is too short to not appreciate this stuff" well said; this is why I watch your channel!

[@jennifer9084]

Thanks for the information. You have got me getting packs now (I'm a sealed collector by nature). I'm thinking of getting some packs from this set soon.

[@RestoSexual]

I remember opening this set a lot as a young lad. Great vid

[@Possu81]

a set without mythics feels so much better. Do we really need to have them?

[@johannpohland2826]

Nah man, less gambling, less $$$, players would reasonably often get good cards, we cant allow that

[@Alex-vb8kq]

Amen, just another money scheme and sign of power creep.

[@johannpohland2826]

@jvalex18 not at all. Before modern era, all sets were either extremely overpowered (urza block) or multiple times weaker than the weakest modern sets (mercadian masks). Nothing in between.

[@cthulhu5707]

Rudy I don’t care how long the videos are I’m gonna watch them anyway.

[@DerpityDerpz1]

Recently pulled the craziest pack out of this set. Steelshaper's Gift, KCI, and Crucible all in one pack

[@mattd6244]

40 minutes before my next class, i know what i’m doing giggity

[@b.o.353]

Paused it to comment. Please don’t stress the foils like that. I was waiting to hear “Oops and now it’s creased and pringeled”. ;). Awesome video.

[@dulius6922]

Love your videos, i love collecting magic dam. Canadian prices are whack Rudy!!

[@justint1993]

Easily one of my favourite sets. Still remember opening a foil crucible of worlds at my LGS. Still have that card to this day

[@AtticusWard]

Great box opening, i love seeing the old artwork and details and it makes me sad i joined magic so late. This makes me want to go out and buy a box but holy crap! Also, i went out and subed to Magic Ronin immediately.

[@makeshiftmonk]

Thanks Chad and Rudy for the box opening!!! :::=^)

[@bingobot]

this has got to be the best artwork ive seen on magic cards

[@roberthyder4023]

Yes, fifth dawn! My first box opening many years ago

[@vampiricsloth]

i loved this era of magic. so many powerful spells.

[@marklummis712]

thx for reminding me about Bringer of the Blue Dawn

[@joelassonde1604]

Thanks Chad!

[@OvAeons]

What is "approximately fifth dawn approximately"? I do not understand.

[@teratogenus]

I loved the first mirrodin set, fitfth dawn was actually the first set I collected

[@Banterbear]

I enjoyed your opening today. The video was good too. Ba-boom-tshhh.

[@honigson8776]

love to see the "old" packs, still d like to see one more ravnicacracking.

[@adamswanger7120]

Loved fifth dawn. That set was my start into MTG. Like rudy said it was the long game, no speed play. Loved it since i am still not a fast player which i apologize to people i play against constantly for. Regardless it was beautiful set. Eternal witmess is favorite card easily.

[@benjackson1506]

Do people press cards like comic books? And dry clean too? Are there restored color touched cards?

[@BioGamer12]

God, the art back then really was killer.

[@YBladeY]

I remember when EE (Engineered Explosives) was $8 in Standard. When they rotated out and were seeing play in 1.5 (Legacy) I picked up a few sets. Dumped a set for $35 each. Felt pretty good. Glad I still have another set

[@kingfluffyone]

"its like hit after hit" after he opens a 50cent rare

[@peteypgc]

omg you finally open my favorite set

[@turkeygoblin]

Can someone please buy some Lorwyn/Morningtide or Eventide/Shadowmoor :O?

[@zenntrox8695]

Really enjoyed this opening, the cards are just so beautiful.

[@stevoyah]

Most of older card art....rudy: OMG THIS ART AND BEWBSSSSSSSSS

[@quatreryukami]

s/o to Chad for making this very wholesome video possible. Legitimately happy Rudy is great.

[@mrivera6975]

What a box. That was my first real set. I used to buy fat packs as a kid just so I could read the books

[@ashleykitchin976]

Hey Rudy, Have you seen the price of Mercadian Masques Foil Thieves' Auctions. What are your thoughts?

Holy Shit that Lose Hope foil looked fucking amazing!

[@davidchesterton4033]

Its interesting that fifth dawn cards the mana symbols in the text box don’t have any color on their printing.

Rudy, Make a podcast! I'd love to listen to your rants on my hour-long commute to my 'grown up' job. #imstillonadataplan

SO 5TH DAWN IS PART OF ORIGNIAL MIRRODIN? i started with SCARS OF MIRRODIN, and love plane of mirrodin/new phyrexia.

[@fayven2520]

Rudy, whats your opinion on the survivability of the Dragon Ball super tcg.

[@patmacrotch5611]

Not Rudy but gonna give my opinion. Anything that is attached to a video game or anime may not have long term survivability unless that game or anime also has survivability. If the game or anime ever tanks so will the game. Magic is at least pretty good at getting new people interested from outside the genre. Fantasy genres in generally seem to hang around.

[@monstermushroomcloud]

I'm gonna say low survivability.

[@Juliett-A]

Every Rudy video is 50% KZbin style reactions, 40% old man nostalgia, and 10% actual magic cards.

[@princelorian]

Such a beautiful set. Please take me back

[@mikechurchill1071]

Awesome box opening a foil EE would have set the house in fire !!!

If one is a patreon, and throws money at Rudy to open a box, do you still have to be a US resident to get the cards shipped? (What if I threw in the extra required for international shipping?).

[@JV-lq3tx]

If I could make an alternate universe this is how I would create magic now.

[@HazmanFTW]

When is 6th Dawn coming out? Do you not have forearms Rudy?

[@discocrisco]

The red beacon was the backbone of mono red burn decks when 5D was standard. It's a crap rare.

[@xaer0knight]

Every time I see a MYR i think of MOUSERS from TMNT! no IRON WORKS! think of it today, you can in the Battlebond set, there is a few Mirrodin, Fifth Dawn, and Darksteel reprints. Never thought Genesis Chamber, Land Tax, Impulse, or Chain Lightning would be reprinted. Some haven't been printed in over 10 year but the price of the Battlebond copy is so cheap. For instance, Diabloic Intent 10 bucks Planescape, 4.50 Battlebond. Has only been printed TWICE!

[@AlarPhoenix]

My very first set that i started playing with. I still mourn about the day i selled all my 5 dawn collection for rent-money.

[@dylanmays5311]

Rudy really gets into some of this art... I'd be afraid to handle Rudy's collection from middle school.

[@dji7231]

Take a shot everytime Rudy says Everybody

[@ddwkc]

I'd not say the artwork is more detailed per se. However, the lines and details are clear and you actually can see what the art is supposed to be on that small frame (you can even see the brush strokes). Today's art is so full of soft edges and very fine details (digital or not) to give more depth, but it is all lost in the small frame of the card. It looks fine on a bigger frame. Soft edges is on vogue in art to give more realism, but again it makes the art fuzzy and looks like just a bunch of colors. Today's art direction doesn't help much as well. It makes every art use the same color scheme (not to touch on making the art more palatable to the general public) which makes the fuzzy feel worse.

[@MoxBox84]

[@timorautiainen1783]

First off, thanks for the excellent and floppiest content on BetaTube. Hardly play any mtg but started playing when fourth edition came out from the print so lot of the videos bring good memories from sitting in the libraries, playing mtg and annoying the heck out of other customers due to almost keeping it silent. But why writing. I watch your videos during evening and morning, and for some odd reason. If still in bed, I bloody hell fall asleep (possibly again). No other youtube channel nor person has the same effect. And I bloody hell watch QI XL where Stephen Fry is blabbing all the time. So kind of thank you for this also.
