Even though I've been playing off and on since the 90s, Scars block is a huge nostalgia block for me since that's when all my friends started to play again too. I just bought a box of each for some point down the line so I can draft this phenomenal block with my friends. Scars, Besieged, and New Phyrexia. Totally phenomenal.
Yep agreed, that's what sets him apart from the others who do it.
God I don't care what the cards are, I loved opening cards that felt like they weren't printed on a napkin... I know that it will never change back... god damnit WOTC.
The artwork and foiling was THIS MUCH BETTER only EIGHT years ago!? My god
Amazon is partially to blame...general cardboard prices have gone through the roof because of the cardboard demands for Amazon shipping subscriptions...everything from shipping boxes to cardstock has gone up, because the raw pulp, and recycled pulp has drastically increased in price. If WotC wanted to make a profit, while providing cards of the quality they did 8 years ago, the MSRP would have to be raised to as much as $5.50 per pack.
@Lassi Kinnunen They aren't lying, my local paper mill switched to board and stock production because the demand is so high.
God I love Phyrexians in this block...
Thank you for the shout out!
I subbed :D
They should do another block of Phyrexia because it is one of their most popular sets. After they do a third installment of Ravinica of course.
James Ruiz lessgo
Now that they’ve done the GRN block, I’m just waiting on Return to Phyrexia, or something like that
this aged well
You need to do champions of kamigawa, my first set of magic that got me hooked...
Christopher Mayen buy it and he'll open it
Wouldn't that just be 20 minutes of him horribly mispronouncing names, despite them ALL being completely consistent from a phonetic standpoint?
insert "REEE KAMIGAWA SUCKS" comment
ccggenius12 He only does it to piss people like you off, but yes let’s do it
I gave up in kamigawa.
Funny that Rudy pulled a Kemba, because while we can't have artwork like that in 2018, she was was printed in 2017 commander with the original art, much to my surprise. Guess wizards said F it, we can't afford an artist to paint a new safe, fixed version.
I started magic like a month after Scars came out. That in combination with Zendikar block was insane. Definitely the best era of standard magic IMO
I'd rather have a card with first strike than with double strike. Consider the following: A 3/2 with first strike vs. a 2/2 with double strike. Both would likely cost the same amount. The 3/2, however, would kill a 3 toughness creature outright and survive whereas the 2/2 with double strike would trade. Double strike is better for adding +1/+1 counters, sure, but the 3/2 becomes a 4/3 and kills 4 toughness creatures whereas the 2/2 becomes a 3/3 and trades with them. Again.
The point is that trading first strike for double strike just isn't worth it most of the time because of what you have to give up.
As a newfag to mtg I thank you for your service
This was the set that got me interested in Magic when I was about 11. It reminded me so much of Duel Masters, my favourite card game, long out of production in english at that point when I bought my first intro pack. Pulled a foil Green Sun's Zenith from my first ever Magic pack from that deck too. I took care of that baby and it's sitting nicely double-sleeved in a binder. Got any english Duema boxes stashed in your basement, attic, or in the walls of your place, Rudy? Probably sitting somewhere mixed in with boxes of Born of the Gods. Oh, you gotta have the duel masters OCG version of Black Lotus, or Emrakul from the hush-hush DM Unhinged-like set, the Black Box Pack, right? Duel Masters is insane these days btw, I think it's obvious, and pretty cool I think, that Wizards tests potential future Magic mechanics in Duema. Not sure if that Lotus is tournament legal, but pretty much everything has haste and double-strike, and the last block was all about summoning 2-3 prototype companions, some with alternative win conditions even, per turn by turn 3 from a 12 card extra deck called the gacharange zone. Oh how I wish that Kaijudo reboot went differently. Love the channel, Rudy, been watching since about 2016 around the time I was still going to FNM regularly.
triggered @ 16:30 when rudy puts the mythic in the rare pile
Also, he said the box wasn't going to give up any more mythics or foil rares but ended up getting at least a handful more.
That's A LOT of Scars boxes! I remember opening my first pack getting Body and Mind and foil Mox Opal. I was elated.
When you realize that the only reason Rudy has remained in the business is because he's addicted to sniffing ink
13:50 Putrefax was one of the staples of my infect deck. Hard hitting fast and near impossible to deal with. Even one poison counter is fatal in this set with the proliferate ability. Either you took a lot of your enemies out or you put yourself in a position to end a game with that card. No regeneration for how he worked. Use him, lose him and keep the damage coming with Proliferate. But those corpse curs...well.. :)
Every time I watch these older box openings I always end up buying a bunch of foils from that set. They always look so good! I love how the lands look.
Yeah! This is by far my fav block. They were not affraid during this time to desing appealing cards with power attached to them. They also at that time didn't test that much standard environment and may be opened to powercreep unbalanced things. BUT... i'm sure we can have this power level in a balanced standard environment. Also, nice to see how the foiling look great back then and how the cards are thick and in good shape.
The creativity behind this set was amazing. My favorite set. My FIRST SET. Pulled some major worth outta this one. Everyone was playing zendikar and there wasnt any, so i got this and i am so glad. Thank you SO much for this buddy. This is amazing
“Ahhhh, the random card/mechanic”
-Rudy, every out-of-print box-opening ever
Opened up my 1st pack of Scars a little over 3 years ago. I started in M15 and wasn't playing back then. Opened up an engine and almost missed the foil in the back, the LGS owner reminded me to check the back of the pack. Foil Elspeth Tirel behind the poison token. Been in love with Magic and Scars in particular :)
I love this set, I still got some of these cards in my infect deck. That island at 8:40 makes a full art if you follow the id in order.
Isaiah Morris all the lands do it. Its awesome
How does one sponsor an Onslaught Booster Box? Best block is best.
I don't even care about the cards anymore, I just like how you open the packs. So captivating!
4:27 Sounds like you just busted a line of some good shit.
Nothing beats a cup of coffee, magic cards, and a Rudy video. Thanks Rudy!
Oh man, this was when I got properly into MTG, ran a myr deck, then an infect deck, ran a pike delver deck until it rotated out, and loved every minute of it.
If only the card quality was a fraction of what it was back then. The only foils I like better than those are the first few blocks they did it with; Masques-Invasion-Odyssey, 7th edition, man those foils looked nice though Rudy. I was so pumped when you pulled a Blackcleave Cliffs in the last pack, good thing for your patron that card is up to $50 now! I think it doubled or more in value after the Pro Tour. Loved the video man.
bought a few packs of these a few weeks ago. i really missed this block. such a good block! this set in particular, in my opinion, was pretty aesthetically pleasing!
Never clicked on a Rudy video faster! Scars is my favorite block! Zendikar through innistrad was the peak of magics history
I remember those days. Ppl didn't buy single on day 1 we were buying a box each that we drafted or simply enjoyed opening together. Booster box are a lot of fun and I wish ppl understand from your video how enjoyable they are.
This is the set that got me into Magic. Just epic art and cards.
im gonna have to become a patron after college and buy some boxes of mirrodin stuff from you for being a real nice and entertaining guy on youtube
This was the first set I drafted extensively. That little wrench shape always makes me happy.
Loved this block and Thank you so much Rudy for popping one of these open! Please open a New Phyrexia next!
man... nostalgia... the first set i ever started playing in! so much fun, got me into magic! probably still have a playset of memnites somewhere too
Hi Rudy! just want to say watching your videos made me go want to go out and buy some packs! I bought 6 packs scars of mirrodin and I pulled a sword of body and mind, BlackCleave Cliffs and a razorverge thicket! Glad you keep putting out interesting videos of opening packs! its my favorite thing to do! keep it up!
I started playing during Scars... oh the memories (and power creep I thought was normal).
Thank you and ur supporters . fun opening. i started around beta/ unlimited then i dropped off and started up on phyrixan and built a poison counter deck kind of through the player's off but they had other play's and i stopped after that, great cards though
Really looking forward to the video on the ink change, and not to mention any on card stock quality problems
I loved playing in this era. Started playing when world wake first came out. Loved going through fat packs and boosters throughout the years. Used to Play magic at lunch and pretty much any time we could through middle school and high school
15:15 Another staple in my black green infect. THIS card made my opponents realize i was not kidding around. I ran 4 of them because they were THAT powerful in the format. Not sure what the card costs today. But that puppy won me a few games. Even ONE on the field was dangerous.
Wurm tokens are sought after
"you can have it fast or you can have it nice"
I thought Wizards wanted to attract a female audience. Giggity.
I feel like if the Memnite isnt reprinted the value will shoot the fuck up in a few more years. Maybe just in artifact collector circles, but that's an interesting card that can be manipulated extremely easily, and adds some really fun mechanics.
it's "meer" rhymes with "deer" :)
Could have sworn it was "murr" rhymes with "concur".
Me, yelling at my phone: "Enough yap open the packs, you floppy taco!!"
My fiance: "The fuck u just say??"
ive been looking for a while for that specific foil forest! quite enjoyed seeing the video!
Misprint corpse cur at 7:38? Looks like the inking is faded on the corner
I was introduced to magic when the scars block was in standard so it’s always been my favorite
From $225 on ebay 4 years ago to $650 today. Probably gonna pick on these up soon along with an Avacyn.
This makes me so nostalgic, since this set made me come back to Magic :)
This takes me back, this was when I first started going to an LGS when I was in college.
I have a Razorverge Thicket, Contagion Engine, Steel Hellkite, Semblance Anvil, Myr Propagator, Darksteel Juggernaut, Hand of the Praetors and Painful Quandry. I've always wanted one of the Swords from this set but they were way too expensive for me.
God I fucking love those cards. Brings me back to the beginning of Magic for me.
Golden era
I was at the LA prerelease for this set. One of the few big prerelease events that I ever attended. I just happened to be living in the area during release. I won my draft pod and managed to pull no value all day long. I was trying to sell/trade unopened packs from random sets. Some guy told me they were all repacks, so I sat down with him and opened them all, turns out they were NOT repacks. Sold a few cards to him. Was a great time except I was sick AF for the whole tournament due to excessive sexy party time the night before. I got a lot of comments about looking "ghostly white" and "are you sick buddy?" so I musta been looking like a sheet. Good times Rudy, good times.
I loved your Weiss Swartz unboxing, your mtg holds a special place in ma heart :D
Could you mention when you bought all that boxes and how much you paid back then? Or would it spoil the fun?
I love the basic lands from this set.
Getting nostalgic with those boosters. This was the year I started playing!
The foils not being warped has nothing to do with the quality they warp because of humidity and they're sealed off of any moisture
knowledge pool is one of my fav cards. Love the art love the imprint for hard locks w/ things like Teferi.
I'm a newer player and I'm honestly disappointed with the state of foils in mtg today. Everything gets the foil treatment, the artwork feels incredibly cartoonish, your showcase foils come curled in the pack because they aren't sealed for moisture and some cards are faded because the printer was running low. I really miss the watermarks the most, especially the foil watermarks, it's half the reason I fork over the extra cash to buy old-school foil cards. Between the edgier designs and artwork/foils, and the more interesting game mechanics I really wish I had got into mtg years ago, this probably would've been when I was in 5th grade.
One of my favorite blocks of all time. I've even got a new phyrexia edh deck lol
Vids like this make me want to be a patron just for the good old stuff like this
I wish I could find a completely unopened box like this. First box I ever owned as a kid was a weird blue box from scars and I crave another lol
Hey Rudy. I know this isnt the place but im considering becoming a patron but im confused on how the whole box opening thing works. I was at your patreon site but the description on the tiers doesn't make much sense to me. Do I get a list of different sets i can choose from? and are they still $80? Because lots of boxes are much more than $80. Sorry and if anyone else can chime in i would appreciate it!
How he has the self control NOT to open all those damn boxes I will never know.
Millions and millions of dollars
Wotc really needs to bring card quality back to the old standard.
Remember when the promos were actually good cards? Emrakul....Wurmcoil Engine...
so when someone "buys" a box for you to open on video, do you like send the cards to them or are they just paying to watch you open it? just asking out of curiosity
Never till today have i seen a playmat that i loved the art on, and not known about it...... Got any of them for sale? (Exodus Lysteria)?
Excellent video !! One of my fav sets
The foils are so reflective is almost like there is a... Mirror in.
Mirrodin block standard back in the day was lit
Thank you for the box openings, I would love to have Rudy crack old boxes for me, but I have kids. Maybe some day I will join the patreon and get the sweet deal on standard boxes. Do those come with promos and collector boosters?
the " chrome " foiling was done to echo the artifact theme in the set.
@Rudy, so I actually paused the video and ran the code. I was quite surprised when didn't pull out "network connectivity issue"!! Still, great pulls from this box! Do moar?! :D
Wurm token is worth a couple bucks
I bought a single pack of Scars from my LGS and pulled a foil Mox Opal. Sold it on eBay for $200. I have definitely spent more than that on individual packs since then trying to duplicate the rush ha.
Watching this makes me want to go open booster boxes JUST FOR FUN!!!! WOO! WHAT A RUSH!!!
Rudy, thanks for opening my favorite set! Love you dude
this was when i went from casual to competitive. this was my first booster box buy
I started playing Magic when Scars came out so it will always have a place in my heart, but Innistrad will always be my favorite ❤️
No doubt my favorite block in Magic
those wurm tokens btw are actually expensive.
Is it my imagination or is the artwork in this set really, really good? It's like I'm actually looking at distinctive, dynamic characters rather than passive, vague 'things' lost in the background.
Hail the return of phyrexia
I loved this standard with zendikar. I played quest for the holy relic with memnites n stuff. Was a blast
I'd be surprised if darkslick shores was reprinted outside of a masters set, seeing as we just had a fastland cycle
I still buy Scars packs. Love this set.
By far my favorite block ever.
Do u have any new phyrexia booster boxes!!! Ive been trying to find one everywhere???
Email him
How much is a booster box wholesale
Favorite block next to innistrad
Rudy, do you ever just get shitfaced and then tear through like a dozen vintage booster boxes in a night, passing out naked in the middle of your living room on top of a pile of cards?
Ugh, misplacing that quicksilver gargantuan. Reeee
A friend and I played the Rudy Drinking Game. Take a shot for every time he says “wow”. We ended up in the hospital...
Maaaan, i'd kill for one of these
I just love the setting and the power level so much
triple Scars was my absolute favorite draft format ever....and i have 37 Furnace Celebrations and 90+ of each Mana Myr to prove it
Ah I remember when this set came out, the memories.
