2010 Scars of Mirrodin Box Opening : They don't PRINT cards like this anymore 

Thank you for the shout out!

God I love Phyrexians in this block...

You need to do champions of kamigawa, my first set of magic that got me hooked...

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

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.

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.

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.

Nothing beats a cup of coffee, magic cards, and a Rudy video. Thanks Rudy!

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!

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.. :)

Loved this block and Thank you so much Rudy for popping one of these open! Please open a New Phyrexia next!

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.

What a cool set. Artwork still has some badass and vibrant feeling about it, unlike todays dead art.

Wurm tokens are sought after

Getting nostalgic with those boosters. This was the year I started playing!

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 was introduced to magic when the scars block was in standard so it’s always been my favorite

it's "meer" rhymes with "deer" :)

From $225 on ebay 4 years ago to $650 today. Probably gonna pick on these up soon along with an Avacyn.

Rudy, thanks for opening my favorite set! Love you dude

Golden era

@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

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)?

this was when i went from casual to competitive. this was my first booster box buy

Me, yelling at my phone: "Enough yap open the packs, you floppy taco!!" My fiance: "The fuck u just say??"

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.

The foils are so reflective is almost like there is a... Mirror in.

I loved this standard with zendikar. I played quest for the holy relic with memnites n stuff. Was a blast

How much is a booster box wholesale

triple Scars was my absolute favorite draft format ever....and i have 37 Furnace Celebrations and 90+ of each Mana Myr to prove it

If I want to buy a box from rudy how do i go about it? 1st timer

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

wtf only now do I realize that the red stuff in the beginning isn't only reminding me of persona 5, it IS persona 5! Is this the p5 expansion for weiß schwarz? And if so, will there be an opening? Tell me rudy, can we hit a foil Morgana in this one?

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.

This was my first set, good times!

Back when magic was so damn cool love the phyrexians

When Rudy just flips past the Glimmerpost r.i.p.

the best birthday gift ever was a fat pack of this for 60$ not that actually but the mox that was inside

I've never heard someone pronounce "Myr" the way you do (Mire). Usually I hear "Meer" or "myrrh". Interesting

the art is this set is amazing

Hey the art on look that bad I thought the newer sets weren't supposed to be good in terms of Art. also is something that CGI art or is that is that all a hundred percent hand drawing?

Oh the feels on this one!

Wow. Who knew 10 years after this set was released, walls became "Immoral".

Is it just me, or were there a ton of foils in that box? Return of green screen rudy?

"The guy from Alien" Rudy please, they're called Xenomorphs.

Jeez, only 8 years ago. I swear it will be so strange when in 8 years we will be saying “They just don’t print cards like they used to in Ixalan!”

I'm getting super baited by those Persona 5 boxes, damn it!!!

Those 3/3 Wurmcoil Wurm tokens are worth like 5 bucks or so

I played standard during this block. So much fun. I played infect

With memnite I have a super janky modern deck. That also works with ornothopter. It's a super great little goblin deck with another card from the same set called koldortha rebirth so fun man. Turn one mountain memnite ornothopter and the koldortha rebirth sac the ornothopter.

IS THAT SOME PERSONA 5 I SEE?

Who else watches these videos knowing that you might never open these super pricy booster boxes

3 foil rares?? Holy floppy taco

Rudy, no Tunnel Ignus joke? :)

ASMR at 4:14 . You're welcome.

the sword is in

16:25 The mythics in this box SUCKED by format standards. No Mox no Skittles, No Koth, No Els, The Sword was the only saving Mythic imo. You really wanted and want Wyrmcoil and Mindslaver. No venser either. My favorite card of the set.

Nostalgia !!!

every card has the copyright year... cmon rudy... 3:54

I use walls wall of living flesh and wall of fire

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.

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.

When you realize that the only reason Rudy has remained in the business is because he's addicted to sniffing ink

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.

triggered @ 16:30 when rudy puts the mythic in the rare pile

The artwork and foiling was THIS MUCH BETTER only EIGHT years ago!? My god

"you can have it fast or you can have it nice" I thought Wizards wanted to attract a female audience. Giggity.

4:27 Sounds like you just busted a line of some good shit.

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

Remember when the promos were actually good cards? Emrakul....Wurmcoil Engine...

That's A LOT of Scars boxes! I remember opening my first pack getting Body and Mind and foil Mox Opal. I was elated.

How does one sponsor an Onslaught Booster Box? Best block is best.

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?

yeah the foils now are pretty bad. if only wizards would stop being so greedy and make the product better then people would actually buy them again

I started playing during Scars... oh the memories (and power creep I thought was normal).

Wurm token is worth a couple bucks

I think myr is pronounced like mirror

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

How he has the self control NOT to open all those damn boxes I will never know.

The whole getting woke thing damaged magic pretty heavily

is it just me or do foils just get more and more lame... I think other than old school like urza's foils, this set had some of the best. Now days foils are so freakin boring.. they are like barely foil.

those wurm tokens btw are actually expensive.

Ugh, misplacing that quicksilver gargantuan. Reeee

“Ahhhh, the random card/mechanic” -Rudy, every out-of-print box-opening ever

MEER MEEEEEEEEE-R IT'S MEER Also, 8 to 10 times per week? Marry that woman.

Spoiler alert: Rudy opened a mythic artifact that was illustrated by Volkan Baga

Vanilla 3-2 for 3 FOIL, wow, look at that!

Wotc really needs to bring card quality back to the old standard.

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.

Why do I watch these videos? Someone help me. I have no interest in the game but can’t help watching people opening packets.

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!

Mirrodin block in 2004 was better. My favorite block of all time. Been playing Sence 1993

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

Why do you always talk crap about how wizards quality has went down so much? most of the old cards were miscut, misprint, you could see threw the packs, underproduced, or extremely overproduced etc

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.

This is the set that got me into Magic. Just epic art and cards.

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.
