Alpha investments Presents : $5,000.00 Urza's Saga booster Box OPENING 

I've never seen Rudy sleeve a card...this is some serious shit.

I got into Magic around 4th Edition. I have to say, the art from Tempest block until Urza's block was, for me, the absolute best. Even though today's art is cool as well, the handdrawn (non-computer, I mean) artwork back then was simply stunning. Rebecca Guay, Therese Nielsen. Masters.

Geez, the art is this set is absolutely gorgeous. Always a heart-stopping moment seeing a chase rare pulled from one of these old sets too.

F for Dr. Salty! Amazing Hits in this box!!! YEAH BUDDAYY!

Fun story: back in the 90s i played at a game store owned by Henry G Higginbotham the artist of Voltaic Key, Cathodian, and worn powerstone. If you look at those cards carefully you can see that they aren't actually paintings but photographs of sculptures Henry created. As far as i know they are the only magic cards with photographs instead of paintings/cgi art.

This makes me nostalgia hard for when I first learned to play during the Urza's block. I love all the Rebecca Guay cards from those, she was my favorite artist. Thanks for letting me live vicariously through you!

i ruled my high school days with the avatar / phyrexian processor combo. This set is when i really got into mtg. thanks for taking me down memory lane! youre the man Rudy!

I just relived my childhood. Makes me want to pull my old collection out on camera and see what’s hidden in there.

It is sooo awesome seeing these boosters opened! Amazing artwork and cards!

Man, this brought back some memories! I was so into Magic during the Urza's block. I must have had at least a full play set of Cradles but I sold them all for WAY less than $1000 when I stopped playing a few years later. Really great vid, thank you.

This brought back so many memories. I felt like an excited kid all over again. Thank you.

Just imagine being surrounded by hundreds of booster boxes from each set XD

I have two sealed mint booster boxes of Urza's Saga in my collection that I will never open. I love both booster boxes. Thank you for opening up your box so I can love my boxes even more. Best of luck to you Rudy always, Marcus

Rudy its so crazy seeing all of your collection/investments that you show us, thanks for the videos

My favourite set of all time. Had my (nearly complete) set stolen in a burglary in early 2000's, spent the last few years building it up again...only 6 cards left to go. Thanks for bring back some great memories Rudy (and horrors thinking about it...I remember watching people Vegas shuffling decks and thinking nothing of it 😯)

that intro is just one gorgeous flex

one of my favourites… Urza's saga , Urzas Destiny… woow missing the good old days

This brought back a lot of memories from my early teens. Thank you so much for this.

Thank you, Mr. Salty. And thanks for making this huge event so much more special with that intro and care that went into it. I don't care what the haters say, you got heart, kid!

So I now have a better understanding of the new vs old MtG art argument. The art on some of these cards is insane and I can certainly understand how images can stick with a player through the years. Like damn.

I had the pleasure of opening two boxes of these back in the day as a kid...good times.

MAN!!!! This took me WAYYYY back!!! Thank you SO MUCH for opening this and taking your time..what a trip! Got a sub from me man!!

Favorite set. Huge treat to watch this get opened. I was working on building an Urza block cube, so sweet

Many Magic the Gathering players ask the question: when is Prof gonna give Rudy the reach-around he's owed?

Because I will never have the disposable income to open a box of Urza's Saga, this patron opening made my day. No jealousy, I'm actually really happy for your client! Congrats on the great pulls! (no spoilers!)

I’ve come back to this video series many times. Thank you Rudolph

Thanks for the video! I used to buy so many boosters of Urza’s saga back in the day 😆 i wish i had saved some booster boxes haha. I had a gaia’s cradle too but i gave all my cards to a friend as i had no one close to play with anymore. Thanks again for the video, brings back alot of nostalgia for me!

Rudy's basement segments are my favorite part of the videos.

Fantastic video! About $750 of ungraded value from his pulls. Lucky to get that Cradle to hold it up. Thanks Mr. Salty for the historical opening!

Urza's saga is one of my all time favorites. Good memories...

I remember playing 3rd & 4th Edition builds against a buddy of mine who had a bunch of decks built from US/UL in like 8th grade (1999) and I just started playing again this year (bought an Ice Age booster pack for the hell of it). Man, who would’ve thought Urza series would be worth so much. This was truly awesome to watch. Thank you.

what a pull on the first pack! made my day right there. you play angelic chorus with serra avatar and double your life

What, So awesome!! Whole box!! So nice! Great box! WOW !!!!! Need to send you some gloves for these kind of openings!!

So nostalgic! I started playing MTG when i was a kid when urzas saga was just released

Like your videos a lot. Got inspired and entered the lair(closet) to find my VERY old collection. Seems like I had some nice cards as a kid.

F for respect doctor salty.

Man, this video brought back so many memories. I had so many of these before my collection was stolen. I've been trying to collect more, but will never have what it once was. I just looked up gaea's cradle, omg that pisses me off, had 2 of them in my collection.

Firstly, this box is freaking AMAZING! Thanks buddy for buying and getting this on vid. You got some of the most epic cards from the set. ALL the lands wow!

This channel is awesome! Thank you Dr. Salty!

Only so much Ultimate Masters you can open before you teleport to the 'billionaires corner'.

some of the artwork looks like straight from an 80s metal album cover. love it

Wow! I remember buying 3 boxes when the set came out. Loved Urzas block Nothing in the world like opening packs

"Where do you put it?!?! You put it in a sleeve Rudy!!" Oh I love it. Honestly my second favorite set behind Stronghold. Love the cards, love the art, the nostalgia!! So awesome!

13:57 Now I can never unsee the smoking baby goblin..thx, Rudy!

6:00 The Prof says "hi rudy"

Just seeing this box opening for the first time. Totally blown away... A rare treat indeed.

I don't even play or know much about magic but Rudy does a good job reverberating how crazy some of these openings are, makes me feel like a child opening the present right along with him xD

1st pick Academy blown my mind! No love for Pouncing Jaguar makes me sad!

Best intro ever, you're getting better with the camera...... and thank you mr salty

I think I’ve rewatched this video like 10 times now. It never gets old.

This is like reliving my youth. I started playing at the trail end of unlimited/ beginning of revised, stopped playing after Darksteel, then came back for a Guildpact-Lorwyn, gave it up again until this year when I saw a Warhammer 40,000 set was being made. I really miss the simplicity of the game from those really years, the game was easy to learn & you could teach someone in an afternoon. Some of the card treatments of the new sets are really cool too look at, but it truly feels like the game is far more about collectability than it's playability now. The game is so complicated it's nearly impossible to teach & it seems like we can't even play a game without pulling out the phone to check rulings on card effects. Thanks for making this channel, this is the magic i love. Although I still have most of those old cards, you're making want to go back & check out some of what I missed.

That's some EXPERT LEVEL editing, Rudy my dude.

This reminds me of one of the best limited combos ever: horseshoe crab, hermetic study. 1 damage for each blue mana, every turn.

14 minutes in. Fingers crossed for a cradle Thank you Mr Salty for making this opening video possible. I wish i would have kept all my old cards. I took a break from magic due to nobody to play with from mercadian masques and started playing again just after guilds of ravnica

Me and my brother bought two of these boxes back in day, because there was a 20ish% sale as the store wanted to clear room for next expansion, so we got them at a great price (never imagined they could ever gain value like they did). Opening all those boosters, it's one of the best experiences I've ever had. After Ice Age, it was my favourite expansion (and the one of which I have more cards lol)...seeing you opening all those boosters was a trip down memory lane =p

I didn't think you could top those UMA openings, Rudy. But this is truly magnificent. Thanks to your wealthy patron!🤩

The Cradle got me half the way there then the Priests of Titania sent me over the top! I'm spent.

17:17 the sheer joy in Rudys voice says it all. The nostalgia hit on that one was real...!

Waa, that was amazing, epic first pack tolarian academy and gaea's cradle. Some of those cards were some of the first cards I ever bought or played with, but so many I had never seen, the artwork was really amazing back then... ooo, good old times! Congratz on the Cradle and co. you deserve it.

"It belongs in a museum!"

This is easily some of the best art in the history of MTG. Holy smokes.

Man seeing all these really brings back some memories of summer camp and playing magic with the homies

Gaea's Cradle was gorgeous but the entire box was just fantastic. The artwork is what draws me so close to magic. I absolutely love this game.

17:12 why I keep coming back. That reaction.

"If I had hair like that, I would have the same size wings"

Nice, you got my favorite card in the first pack! My foil Serra Avatar is one of the 3 cards I sill own even though I quit playing 11 years ago, it's promo card of course, the set had no foils. Urza's Saga was the newest set exactly at the time I started playing and it's the best block ever since.

Man I loved Urza's saga / Urza's blocks so much when it came out ... Lot of fun and memories! Thanks! My fun deck was landing Serra's Avatar with 30 lifes ;) I smash Subscribe button so hard man!

So I am in 1:39 and I feel like I should call the ambulance, for the enormous errection I currently have -simply from seeing all that sealed product- might proof lethal if I continue watching this video ...... Haven't been here for a while Rudy. I see you're still producing awesome content. Keep going and have a nice day, greetings from Austria! :D

The point obviously wasn't to make some cash it was because guys like me would just LOVE to see one of these boxes opened again. The Saga Block represents the end of the beginning for alot of us elder players. Awesome Rudy ty.

Ron Spencer is my favourite artist of all time. It's nice to see how many of his pictures you stop to look at :) Almost have the whole collection of him!

Thank you Mr. Salty. That was highly entertaining!

Just in case no one mentioned but Priest of Titania has been reprinted. 1x Urza Saga 1x FNM promo 2x Commander reprints (2014/Anthology) 2x World Champion Deck reprints (not legal)

For me, Urza's Saga was the best set to me. The history, the cards, the art... Everything was perfect in this.

Amazing video, so many memories!!! Stopped playing in 2010 and sold all my stuff. Among them was a near mint play set of Cradles I got $140 each. Started playing again in 2016 and saw how much they had gone up. Still makes me sick to my stomach.

Ur excitement when u hit the cradle was so awesome. U got me hyped & I didn't even pull it! Lol Taco strong!! Luv ur videos

I can't emphasize enough how much fun it was to play Magic during this time. We just came off of the Tempest block and god damnit they pulled the Saga on us. There were card bannings the night of the prerelease. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure. Cause we were all high on Ecstacy

Rudy is so hyped about the Cradle he went over the GIlded Drake acknowleaging it less than the Academy, even though it's worth like 4 times the academy XD

Man, I am so glad this video is still here I love Urza's it was the first big set I started to buy and play with. I mean I was in as a kid from the 4th edition on but this was the point where I could buy my own packs lol.

The amount of nostalgia that washed over me watching this video was pretty intense.

The art on these cards is so much cooler than the stuff being made today

The Disruptive Student...is Teferi isnt?

Wow amazing pull on the first pack...that’s awesome. Congrats to that patron!!

Awesome watching you open these cards

"The artwork back then just blows your face into your pants!" 🤣

The Urza block was when I learned how to play Magic as a teenager. My playset of Tolarian Academy's cry from the banned list :'(

Urzas was my primary set as a kid. I gave my bestfriend my binder with Urzas and it has a perfect only touched once Gaea's Cradle in it. I remember opening it in reverence back in the 90's.

So cool to see that you have so many boxes of coolness

How in the Serra Angel's Cradle did I not see this a year ago. Wt?!

This was my first ever booster pack. Damn I’m old.

When Rudy sleeves a card you know it is something big 😉👍🏻❤ And I love the digging in boosters boxes 🙂

Lol almost in the first 5 minutes I saw him open the tolarian academy. Me: "So it's going to be one of those days again."

I got four signed dark rituals from tom Fleming and an oversized version above my desk. That was a great gencon. Forgot that this is where those dark rituals came from. Great box opening had such a good time watching this

What a beautiful set, wish I could afford a couple packs. Saga and Judgement are my favorites.

respect to the hustle. watching your box collection is something.

"THANK YOU DR SALTY" - DR PEPPER

I remember about 15 years ago, I sold all of my cards to pay for rent to get me through financially. I had 4 Time Spirals, 4 Tolarian Academy's, 2 Gaea's Cradles, and 4 Grim Monoliths.

I may be watching this at midnight but the art on these old sets is amazing! Ah, I miss the old art style.

I won a booster box of Saga from some random giveaway on some website waaaay back when. They did trivia questions usually related to flavor text on cards and I got lucky after pretty consistently entering. I’ll never forget the day it came in the mail, rushing to my friends house to make them watch me crack open every pack. One of my favorite pulls was a foil Might of the Oaks. Ahhhh the nostalgia!!!!
