Rudy's Magic Store

Box # 139

[@suavecollects49]

You need a section in the store called "Timmys Corner" or something of that matter.

[@TheLegalCustodian]

For bad products with extra discount: Timmiys home - Homelands Booster 2bucks

[@SLVnzl]

Born of the gamble Fatpack ONLY 69.99

[@LastAirshipGames]

As someone that plans to play regularly at your store, please explore running unconventional MTG events. Chaos drafts, multiplayer, and pauper would be excellent formats that are not widely supported by the other WPN stores in the area.

[@gregthebunny553]

Think he already said he wont be open to the public very often but I could be wrong.

[@blacklotus561]

Whats the point of opening a store then?

[@gregthebunny553]

Think mainly for storing product and doing his online sales through ebay. Special events and stuff as well. He said in other videos he'd be open to the public but maybe just a couple days a week.

[@xcver]

yeah, no point in having open on weekdays where no one might be coming in

[@KMHH1976]

you can guarantee there will be people coming in looking for investment advice.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

rudy! rudy! rudy! I got $6000 what stocks should I buy.

[@griffenlancer]

Kaladesh

[@clownkingdon]

Get a robinhood app and buy ford (F) and at&t (T). Hold it for dividends.

[@joshledford4615]

NOBL is a mutual fund of the highest yielding dividend stocks in the S&P.

[@danwash19]

All the advice he'll give, "Buy all my Pokemon EX boxes, and this blow up bee toy that my family got me."

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Rudy you misspelled Timmy's Emporium.

[@AffinityforMTG]

You can flatten those playmats by re-rolling them in the opposite direction for a little while. Maybe.

[@MTGDraftSesh]

Is it still Cinco de Mayo or is my taco just happy to see Rudy?

[@blindey]

Why not both?

[@mindustrial]

oh god. you actually named the store Alpha Investments!

[@DJJunkfoodJay]

Congrats Rudy. I don't even collect or play Magic cards, but I love your channel and find it very fascinating and entertaining.

[@kylel5360]

Ditto, don't play, never have. Rudy is just entertaining. I'll be in JAX for work next week and might swing by to see the business.

[@Fergit_]

Questionable decision Rudy here, using up wall space on Dragonball.

[@Mrtfarrugia]

Rudy you need a sign that reads "No shoes, No shirt, No service.... No Pants, No problem!!!"

[@trainern8173]

Watching this series Rudy makes me think it is "possible" in 2017... You sir are Living Proof and Living the Dream of so many of us MTG/Pokémon/Yu-Gi-Oh ect. Players!

[@NicoSwagzawa]

The running intro is so stupid. I love it.

[@SAMMYD0214]

Awesome videos man! Watching this series 3 years later but really enjoying these.

[@braindead8899]

i lived in the US for a couple of years as a kid, had a summer house in florida.. i was able to smell and feel florida at 0:14 ... i miss it

[@jennifer9084]

Again I really love this. I always look forward to this video each and every week. Your shop is looking amazing.

[@thepatclap]

Central FL checking in: The big chain store fires with 12-30+ every FNM. The indie store fires every week with 8-16. Monday nights too. Those north FL stores might just be bad?

[@AB-ke2lw]

At my local card shop in the display cases they have 4k monitors displaying cards in stock at an angle. They have really valuable cards stored in a safe.

[@aiRCoft]

How the hell was that sign only $125?!?

[@bentaylor4360]

If I lived in Jacksonville, I would try to work there...meeting Rudy would be the highlight of my year for sure. Fucking love your videos man. Keep uploading more of these!

[@radip]

That box. You know it is somewhere, lurking in the shadows, always there, creeping on the brink of your sight, but if you turn your head nothing's there, only the uneasy feeling of presence of some dismal force

[@norxcontacts]

Where's the smoking section?

[@D0wnshift]

Good job picking blue for your sign. Blue is the color that fades in the sun the slowest. Ever notice old posters in shop windows are all blue because every last color faded away? Red is the worst offender BTW.

[@TheDevilsgreen]

i live in florida, I cant wait to play magic there!

[@alvarandhurriks2364]

We just started FNM about a month ago. We get about 8-12 every time, booster drafts being the largest people bringer. There are usually another half dozen playing EDH around the store.

[@Rico_Senpai]

This is looking to be a badass shop. Wish i had a shop like this in my area.

[@FLaVVLeSsx]

Rudy i live in Canada but i'm seriously gunna come down to visit when this shit is open. I'm so pumped!!!

[@TheWholeBoxandDice]

I love these so much. I don't know how I will ever get there but I would love to do this one day

[@VoltariatGamer]

I don't play a lot of magic at this time so I find it odd that I can't stop watching Rudy's videos. I enjoy your general financial knowledge, your business insight, and (of course) your love of Magic The Gathering. Thanks for making this videos, Rudy. I don't know why they are so interesting or why I enjoy your off beat personality but its a good show. Maybe I send you one of my older interesting magic cards and share a story with you some time. :)

[@BigCuddleMonster]

I will be very interested seeing the card shop life about security. Since you did talk about the one store that lost $8000. I am very interested knowing everything you have to prevent that kind of loss.

[@DotHacker99]

I looked at the fun combos and combat tricks in FOW and I fell in love with it. It's really skill intensive and fun. What killed it for me was losing on turn 2 because of the broken regalia(artifacts). A guy swung for 2,200 in one attack and untapped and got an extra attack equaling 4,400. The previous game I lost on turn 3. It was the worst match of cards ever.

[@NegativeLegend]

Dude, I'm glad Exodus did well.

[@greglockton6246]

Holy shit dude! That sign made me go from floppy taco to full burrito! Giggity!

[@crazygamercadenisatrain]

So excited for this shop! I must come opening day.

[@killervacuum]

rudy securing his magic store like its a dispensary

[@herunis]

'I would play with Rudy four times', you forgot the giggedy !

[@fishlips54]

Rudy, I look forward to your videos everyday. I'm also heavily into geopolitics, and your vids are a welcome change to all that.

[@SpaceStormy]

That sign is top notch I love it! Looks super good

[@SpaceTaco11157]

That was the one of the greatest intros I have ever seen. Thank you sir!

[@dankuroto6944]

Nice one Rudy , you're just like the wolf of Wall Street

[@TopTradingCards]

You have a such a great channel. So interesting to listen to your thoughts and the way you handle things. Will definetly try to take some parts of your thoughts in my way to work and see whats happening then ;-) Keep on rolling

[@flaviomadeiramirandafilho3469]

floppy taco just turned into an rock hard burrito, this series is super fun, keep the good work

[@blazenjestergames4025]

Rudy that logo and sign look fantastic you should celebrate it with a box of floppy tacos !

[@tagdigsammen8809]

going to America this summer, and kinda sad that i wont' be able to visit your store on the trip... but guess i'll visit sometime later, and will be able to do it at that time ;)

[@joryvuylsteke6900]

Sooooo I think I want an Alpha investment t-shirt and Taco Bell. That sign is mint. Looks as tasty as a taco

[@danwash19]

I'm pretty sure that Creepy Rudy card made Creepy Rudy especially happy since Creepy Rudy can now play with himself in more ways than one, gigidy.

[@UBERbuck]

I will totally make a road trip down from Georgia to come visit ol' Tim's Emporium when it's up and open to the public. As a patron, I would also love the whole Patron exclusive pricing, or if not that, some kind of Patron specific reward since you're speaking of rewards... otherwise the green screen looks great Rudy, keep on investing in that new VR tech the kids be talking about.

[@elladar2]

Ive told you about FOW... Rudy... told you the game is improving. Congrats! The shop is looking great! Cheers from Argentina :)

[@Dalkeo]

yay force of will!

[@burgerringsarenice]

Rudy, do you think becoming the world's first card store/marijuana dispensary would be a good idea?

[@Aeschelon]

Force of Will is mostly dead in my area. After Eldrazi Winter, folks came back to Modern and Legacy.

[@StonedMonkeyProductions]

I wanna play with Rudy. I don't care how much the mana cost if the abilities are cool. Rudy planeswalker is dope

[@apokalupteinx1567]

RUDY IT WAS A TRAP!!! You placed your fingerprints on those cards and that's what that person wanted! His taco will be anything but floppy when he gets those back.

[@kevinn4450]

Timmy's Emporium! Use that ultimate and open Alpha booster boxes, that would be ultimate play.

[@Arghore]

Yeah, still not to sure about those display things in the middle ... but that is likely because i like open spaces and overview, likely been a cowboy in one of my previous lives :P ... seeing i think you got 3 of them, i would put two in the left front corner, and the other one i would likely put at the wall that is the toilet on the other side, sort of box in the playarea and block off the path to the back area ... would also like to mention that i do not like the location of the register, it feels way to close to the front door, having it in the center (where that rack thing is now, giggidi) makes more sense to me... anyways, tnx for sharing.

[@axey7476]

Rudy you didnt do a video yesterday and I had nuttin to watch!

[@gabecleveland21]

You should totally hit me up with a playmat since I don't have one, jk but dude I love this series! Thanks so much for making it. I'm hoping to head out there eventually

[@f0rumrr]

Lay a table on top of the mats to flatten them faster...

[@jaredpetersen7343]

Rudy should make floppy tacos to bring in a ton of customers who love floppy tacos I would come in and eat one. Maybe 5 Floppy Tacos ;) have a small kitchen area in the back to make them floppy taco on their own frier oven ;) it have to be a portable oven nothing permanent lol

[@shanonkallhoff2431]

Can you please tell me about those display cases, and the link to them possibly? Thanks Ruder Duder, you stay classy.

[@TastySnackies]

Since you're not going to be WPN, do you think the business would still be financially viable if, for example, WOTC and Magic crash and burn? It feels like the hype bubble has, or is about to burst, in my opinion.

[@TheRoadsidePhotographer]

Rudy's magical creepy hands can tell if anything is real or fake

[@marcelinomurillo4366]

told my wife I'm getting the alpha investments logo tattooed on me and she said you idiot what if you guys break up. I just said jealous

[@JoshuaMartinez12]

Probably the best comment there ever was

[@FlNALBOSS]

Rudy, you guys gonna stream tournaments on Twitch from the store? That'd be sick if you setup a camera system over a featured table for streaming.

[@DevianTrickster]

Indeed, Rudy., your sign is a bit misleading and very niche. Maybe place a "Card Game Store" or something like that underneath?

[@VideoGameManiac8]

Your store is looking pretty amazing!

[@colinbuck3266]

Rudy you are vexatious to the soul. I'm gonna "top deck" your store.

[@warlord9759]

5K, that's all for fixtures? That's a great deal. I know a 2,000 square for store that spent 25K on fixtures. Granted they do eurogames and miniatures as well.

[@honkingthechickenaway5973]

send that magical girl force of will playmat my way , looks nice

[@justinjones8274]

I live in the bay area but I wish I could visit your store :/

[@nartin9]

wizards sould in addition to making need changes to wpn they should give wpn locations stickers or buttons to give out to people that attend events and want them.

[@68Deak]

Creepy Rudy ought to put a prize spinning wheel in your shop. Free spin for every hundred spent in your store.

[@LuisRivera-kz6ds]

add a amonkhet invocation box with your search of the kaladesh masterpieces

[@YGOPaisano]

Hey Rudy, I've been asking in everyone of your card shop life videos. Where do you get the store hardware from? Like is there is website or something you went to, to get your slatwall.

[@baker099]

I hope everyone brought their floppy tacos!

[@elfguy2007]

looks like a awesome card shop.

[@bear68275051]

hey Rudy what are you going to do to keep your inventory safe i know a lot of shops close down because employees steal single cards

[@TheCardCollectingGuy]

Didn't physically touch the Alpha sign, obvious green screen hiding Timmy's Emporium.

[@johndeckard6592]

It would be funny if a taco shop opened up next door, or one of those taco vans parked in his lot.

[@EricTheCleric93]

I really like this series and the intros are great.

[@zibanildo]

hey Rudy, gonna do another insight about FoW scene? Im really curious now after seen those mats. BTW what u have to say about Card Fight Vanguard? hope to hear from ya! Hugs from Brazil

[@kevinmcatee8631]

woo force of will lives to see another year love your videos Rudy and where can i get that plainswalker Rudy lol

[@TheDquaid]

I'm sure the Bob's are keeping a close eye on this, especially re: WPN. Hope this exposure causes some improvements from WOTC mgmt.

[@nicorans5369]

now the most important questions is, IS THEIR ANY APP 4 SALE IN THAT BLOCK ABOVE U?

[@knarfsism8264]

Do you keep your tacos safe and warm wrapped up in your playmats?

[@TheWarlordShogun]

4:05 Rudy: "You gotta make sure you fit good...giggity."

[@EitherWayAnyway]

Rudy...Timmy's Emporium! What the hell?!

[@mmlgamer]

Question: Will the store have weekly Commander events?

[@christopherstath619]

thanks have a good day to rudy!

[@Traodea]

...So when someone kicks in the back door?

[@Nersuhl]

These intros are gold

[@CadenzaX]

You need a section of "Timmys" and "Green Screen Wall"

[@Duranous1]

Oh Yeah! Mega corp! How are they doing?

[@harryscheuerle659]

how long before the sign is vandalized with timmy's emporium

[@vatothabeast]

How often do people knock on the door thinking you're open?

[@Mephisto28890]

0:19 I'm so disappointed that it doesn't read 'RUDY's FLOPPY TACOS'.

[@EitherWayAnyway]

Also, playing with Rudy would get expensive...

[@CloudTower50]

I'm gonna drive a taco bell truck all the way down to Florida some day

[@BreinGames]

How much time is passing from when you film this stuff? Are these videos filmed one day then the next day another video? Then you're staggering the uploads? Really wanting to get an understanding of how long this process takes.

[@pmrobin8]

Are you going to carry any YUGIOH I know you don't like it but there are some people who would buy the products so I'm just wondering

[@mouth9001]

hey Rudy you should consider some music in this intro of yours
