2004 Saviors Of Kamigawa Box Opening = The Recession of Magic The Gathering 

Kamigawa will always be my favorite block. The story was amazing and the cards were very unique. Dont care what the masses say there will always be a soft spot.

This video just popped up in my feed, and when Rudy said "we'll never see a return to kamigawa ever" I thought he was being ironic, not realizing this was released over 4 years ago.

Nice to see the peak of Magic artwork, before they all started looking like screen-shots from a video game.

I loved the Kamigawa block (it still stands as my favorite block), I bought the 75 card tournament packs (which I still have 4 of). Loving the video Rudy!

Love OG Theros. Also here we are in 2022 returning to Kamigawa, incredible.

Man this was one of the coolest blocks from my childhood.

Just found this channel and i have to tell ihave collected the whole Kamigawa Block with each card 4 times, i was so crazy for it i could not sleep well until i had all the cards i needed, bought full boxes on a weekly base.

Been waiting for one of these. Man. Love Kamigawa block. Got in just as Champions came out. Played all the major archetypes of the sets. Had so much fun with it. Great stuff.

I first got into Magic with this set. It’s still my favorite, although AFR is a close second. I can’t wait for the new Kamigawa to drop.

Rudy just gave his age up. This puts him somewhere from 32 to 35. I'm shoot for 33, just cause Rudy has got that born in 85 vibe.

I'm still hoping for a Return to Kamigawa set. I know, wishful thinking, but my nostalgia demands it.

I love legends, stronghold, and Mirrodon. The good old days. Miss them.

I yelled "BUSHIDO BLADE!" just as you said it, Rudy! 90's kids unite.

I have have nothing but love for this block. I loved the lore, the artwork and the mechanics. 10/10

I always love the asmr rudy throws in when he smells the card

I loved the Kamigawa block! Betrayers was the set that I really got into Magic. The Nezumi are still my favorite race in Magic!

I started playing MTG with Mirrodin back then and I really like the Kamigawa Block a lot! In this time I was totally into Anime (Detective Conan, One Piece and Dragonball) and this set has fit perfectly. I also read the lore books and I liked them a lot.

I picked up a lot of magic cards from a friend. I traded him some video games for over 6,000+ cards. There weren't many rares but I got 90 foils which one was a $25 lava spike, Kiri-Onna, throat slitter and lots of cards from kamigawa block and original mirrodin block. I have 35 of that Sakura-Tribe Scout that are at about $3 each on tcgplayer. Also 2 Thran Dynamos from urza.

I really liked the ninjutsu mechanic. Boshido was fun. This set when it came out wasn't exactly the best but at the time the price for a box was low (so it sucked) which allowed us to draft the crap out of it. Super fun for drafting.

I was living in Asia at the time of this sets release. I drafted it in Chinese. Loved Ninja decks. Ornithopter was in the set and shuriken. You’ll never love a deck as much that wants to attack with ornithopters.

Those Marvel comic boxes look incredible!

Actuqlly I like the theros beyond death set. I love the card art the extended art cards. A set doesnt have to come with a big price tag for me to like it. Midrodin and darksteel are up there on my list too!!

Kamigawa's cards are so unique in their design, and its the set I was first introduced to as a kid. It will always be the best block.

i loved this block it made spirits a favored tribe of mine

mark could you showcase your expensive or collection magic cards, i bet everyone would like to see that

I started with Betrayers and I loved Kamigawa, when standard was KAM/RAV. Kamigawa had some issues, those flip cards as an early attempt at two cards in one weren't a winner and there were few stand-out great cards. However, Kamigawa block's greatest sin was Mirrodin. Kamigawa had nothing that could deal with Affinity and because of that and because WotC took way too long to ban Affinity, standard sucked for the first half of Kami's standard rotation. KAM/RAV was sooo fucking good though.

Bushido Blade 2 was where it was at. Amazing game from Squeenix.

Man I used to love those old marvel cards!!! I gotta have so much of that shit packed away in the attic somewhere. Used to love the foils and all the weird inserts!

Hahahhahaa the lighting is so funny! Its just hilarious.

If I'm remembering right, when Saviors came out I was driving 40-80 miles to play LotR tcg. Davis or Berkeley on alternating Sundays, Redwood City on Monday nights. Had really stopped caring about being competitive, even at the FNM level, while Odyssey was still newish and had basically cashed out for Decipher games. Still had a janky zubera deck just in case ;) Moral of the short story is you always have some sort of deck for those times you get the itch and wish I still had the collection for Rudy to fondle. Nothing too exciting at the time, mostly nostalgia from 4th to Apocalypse.

Hitting yourself in the face with the Sledgehammer .. still makes me giggle to this day #bushidobladethings

I loved this set. I figure a new Kamigawa set would be pretty popular nowadays as people seem to be more into Japanese culture. I think the mechanics were the biggest problem and all the weird rare cards. Weird that Yuki-onna is a rare creature since it's a snow (yuki) demon (onna).

I hated the Kamigawa block, but I watched it for you Rudy, woo!

Barrel Down Sokenzan hell yeah. One of the cards I still have because I like the name and or art.

Watching this in 2022 and laughing on Rudy constantly saying we will never go back to Kamigawa.

Open that Fleer Ultra X-Men '95 box Rudy!!!

Coming after the Mirrodin block wasn't easy, because it was such a revolution to have games filled with artefacts all of a sudden; and it was a very powerfull block overall. Kamigawa failed to produce T2 decks as powerfull as Mirrodin, and it was globally sulked by players.

i think this is the set that i spend a lot of money buying booster pack just to get pithing needle or twincast.thats two of the most expensive card at that time

all my friends quit during kamigawa block and i wanted to do was play my rat deck. marrow gnawer and ink eyes still 2 of my absolute most favourite cards

Never gonna happen. Wise words. I will buy everything from the 2022 Kamigawa set. They are so epic.

rudy, i'd love to see a video of your sealed box room. but i also understand not wanting to show the public exactly what kind of $ you have within your home. but, please? lol

No matter how.much I loved Kamigawa... I did Chaos Draft once with them. It was pretty bad haha

We had a random box of this pop up at an lgs in my area. Needless to say it didn’t sell.

I loved these sets. Nobody that played with me ever complained about these cards. Must've had to have been really REALLY old school magic players because it just didn't happen where I was.

One year later but kudos for the Bushido Blade call out!

I think that if they did a return to kamigawa it would be more received from the newer player base, I've always wanted to play a deck with samurai

I bought a saviors fat pack and got some great stuff. Kaho is amazing

Waow, the art is pretty great

betrayers has to be my fav set from this block cause ninjas.

Okay, I have to ask this, but did you and MTGPurple collaborate on Kamigawa? He did a video on the Kamigawa block talking about the legendary stuff and then you had a box opening of Saviors. =p

Hello Rudy. I've been following you channel for a while now and I was hoping you could answer a question. Im planning on buying a time walk but im therrified at the possibility of getting a fake, reputable stores in sites like tcgplayer could be the best place to buy one? I was thinking maybe they could get a fake mistake. what are your recomendations?

First boxes I bought on ebay back in 05 was this block.

Wish they still made a card like Seek the Horizons every now and then.

why the jump in 4th edition booster box's?

I don't remember the block being hated in EU. In fact quite the contrary. But hey

That freed from the real foil is $22 dollars. Even more than the sakashima...

Rudy is eating his words now that there’s another Kamigawa set coming out next year

Super solid pulls

The Scout is $2 Ideas Unbound is like 50 or 75 cents and Freed From the Real is around $3.50. But no value in the common slots...

I was curious, so I did a quick dawnglare price check for relevant cards (Ignoring foil status, so that'd just add to the value): 1 Sakashima the Impostor 22.00 1 Pain's Reward 3.90 2 Kagemaro, First to Suffer 1.51 1 Pithing Needle 6.63 1 Mikokoro, Center of the Sea 12.37 1 Sekki, Seasons' Guide 4.24 1 Maga, Traitor to Mortals 3.41 1 Kami of the Crescent Moon 1.98 1 Erayo, Soratami Ascendant 7.55 1 Kataki, War's Wage 3.63 1 One With Nothing 1.98 1 Meishin, the Mind Cage 1.57 1 Kaho, Minamo Historian 2.20 1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds 20.21 1 Choice of Damnations 4.04 1 Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker 11.10 3 Hand of Honor .93 2 Locust Miser .76 2 Manriki-Gusari .75 1 Ebony Owl Netsuke 1.46 3 Footsteps of the Goryo 1.58 2 O-Naginata 1.96 10 Sakura-Tribe Scout 1.77 9 Freed from the Real .87 That adds up to $151.29 on May 10, 2018.

You should open a rise of the eldrazi box. Crazy prices

Red white samurai. That's what I played as a kid

Man, imagine telling Rudy that Kamiagawa would not only carry WOtC straight to the bank during the first quarter of 2022 but would litterally break all expectations when it comes to rate of growth

I don't do well with sarcasm so I can't tell if he's being serious half the time. Are the foils actually worth anything? I may have some.

This was a great draft set.

Making Rudy a female friend. Current building progress: 2.7777777769%

20:39 Rudy in 20 years.

No major commons? Sakura-Tribe Scout?

Rudy if I buy a box of the new 2018 corset off of you will you open it on one of your videos let me know

Well Rudy if you wanted the end of the box to be exciting you should Remeber the order of your repack

Rudy :( How much for some of those fleer boxes ?

Why the fuck wouldn't people use that sakura scout in pauper, that looks so sweet

Next time Rudy don't use to much glue to seal them back up. It'll be easier to open.

the tribe scout is a $2 common

This aged well.

Alot of the hate came with it was on the heels of mirrodin block. Which was way way overpowered. There was no real decks that could compete using any of this blocks stuff.

His storehouse is probably a gold mine

OG Dominaria

Rudy's got yellow fever! ;-)

Sakashima is #2 most valuable card in that box

Anyone watching this in 2020 during quarantine? This was recommended to me

Rduy is actually doing a line of coke when he smells the cards, he just wants you to think he's smelling the cards.

I just pre-released

I just started playing Magic like 4 months ago, and am enjoying it so far. Being born as a half Japanese/American, I love the Japanese theme, and the art style.

Actually Rudy, Sakura-Tribe Scout is not only a pretty good card, but due to it's play in recent Amulet Titan decks in modern you can sell them for 2 bucks-a-piece. Also on the financial side of things, that box was pretty flippin' great!

kamigawa block + ravnica block = golden age of mtg

that old school foiling is beautiful, I have a foil simic basilisk I found in my collection and the foiling on each of the eyes and the head just looks fantastic. I compared it to some Dominaria foils I got, makes them look terrible.

Complain there is no value in commons, loot 2$ mint common is first pact.

I think I still have the prerelease cards from that block. It came right after arcbound/disciple of the vault combo and maybe some mindslaver shenanigans. Two moments I remember from the prerelease's... Guy fogged me out using akki coalflinger to fog my normal damage step, played wrong and judge ruled wrong. Next having Meloku, Clouded Mirror and opponent does too, yet his made 2/2's while mine made 1/1's lmao play cards as they read, even if know it's a misprint, was ruling by judge on that one. Good times

It will never happen...many moons later. "I was wrong"

Thank you Rudy, I love Kamigawa I've been begging wizards for years for a return

Hi Rudy... so it seems we're going back to kamigawa

WHAT WE DO HERE IS GO BACK BACK BACK BACK

9:10 i guess Rudy was wrong this time

I really want those X-Men Fleer boxes :)

Kamigawa block was one of my favorite blocks in MtG. I actually made decks AND sets with all the boxes I bought. I also loved the original Ravnica block

The filthy, nasty, and disgusting things I would do to Liliana..

People just didn't connect to it, I don't think they will ever return to Kamigawa. Roll on 2022 ROFLMAO :)

“This has been a good box opening so far”...the most common statement before a box opening dies

How can we buy boxes??? I want a couple boxes of xmen!
