Pretty funny to the none magic player on how excited he got & just screamed out the name. Congrats though man. Don't know what it means but, MOX FREAKIN' RUBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same don't know someone knows just about every card or cares so much about a card that they literally wear gloves. I don't know who would pay for that card and tbh I would probably freak out too if I knew before hand it was a rare but only cuz I'm thinking of how much money I could get out of an idiot.
It's so funny looking at the comments and seeing all the people who don't play Magic be so confused. Guys, he didn't pay $1300 for the deck. He got a card that is part a very old, VERY powerful set- hence the title. The card (Mox Ruby) is currently priced in the thousands. You think that's crazy? Another card from the same set, Black Lotus, is worth about $27,000. He may be a nerd, and so may I, but he is one damn lucky nerd.
Drink NukaClassic well technically everything in life is a waste of money. You spend money on everything just to later never use said thing. Which is a waste of money. The point of spending your money on this game is to have fun while you have it
Well your profile has a starcraft cat. Starcraft was made by blizzard which made hearthstone. Hearthstone is magic the gathering warcraft edition. Maybe that's why it was there :3
Your collection probably sucks. Besides, many people even you may not even notice whether a card was handles without gloves. There are ways to clean things you wont even know about.
me neither i was more focused on who the hell spends 1300$ on a card. I don't care how much you like the game unless you're rich that is a grotesque waste of money.
Ronan I can read... the title "Guy opens 1300$ magic card & flips!" Hence why I clicked on it because I wanted to know why someone would spend 1300$ on a card. And after watching it I still don't get it.
I can explain it without sounding like an asshole! So basically, people play Magic competitively, and also some card collectors want certain cards and will pay a lot for them. You can earn a lot of money from tournaments! And so people want to win tournaments with the best cards, and thats why cards can cost so much. :)
I don't understand why people hate on MTG collectors. So what if a guy spends hundreds of dollars on one card? I don't tell people not to waste hundreds of dollars on tickets to watch sweaty guys toss a ball around or I don't tell people not to waste $200 on a jacket just to feel like a douche bag. I swear it's like people want to be condescending towards others. If you guys knew you could make that much money off of one card, you'd probably do it. fucking hypocrites
It's small minded people like you who give card collectors a bad name :) (btw I'm not a card collector but I couldn't help replying to such an idiotic comment). People spend $200 on a jacket because they like it, who intentionally wants to look like a douchebag? And yes people pay a lot of money just to "watch sweaty guys hit around a ball" because it's entertainment, it's a sport dip ass
This was really fun to watch. I love seeing good things happen to people. Never wound up with anything that rare playing in my teens, but it was a funny flashback recognizing some of the cards he flipped through.
Really appreciate all the kind comments. I made this video a LONG time ago but the channel has kept going ever since. Videos are much higher quality now and We're over 1000 videos now and I think you might enjoy it if you give it a subscribe. If not, that's cool too, and thanks for stopping by!
@David. Mox Ruby is a 0 drop instant source of red mana. So first turn, if you were to play your land, and drop a mox ruby, you would instantly have 2 mana available. That immediately is a massive advantage, specially when playing vintage when the games are incredibly fast paced. Mox Ruby is restricted in vintage, which means you can only have 1 of them. But lets say, before they restricted them, you drew 4 of them in your opening hand. Play a mountain, and drop 4 mox rubies, you now have 5 red mana before your opponent has even had a chance to put any cards down onto the field, this is incredibly broken, and thats why its restricted and extremely powerful. Even a single Mox Ruby is extremely powerful.
bro , that wazs a pack from when me and my brother played MTG , which was when i was in fucking 1st and 2nd grade, so like 91-92 , like 25 year old deck
A mint Mox Ruby can go for much higher than $1,000. Especially with low supply, he could really price it for anything and it would be a valid price. Just depends on how much someone in the world is willing to pay for a mint Mox Ruby.
That's not really the same. When you buy a video game or a new part you know exactly what youre getting. Opening a pack of trading cards was always incredibly fun. I remember being in 3rd grade and receiving 2 packs of yugioh cards from my mom. I opened the first and pulled out an ultra rare toon summoned skull, and a super rare toon world on the second. I practically shit myself with excitement.
It's a lot of fun though it can be addicting and kind of complicated. It's easy to pick up, though plus you can play free via Steam (or illigitimately via a program called Cockatrice).
Isn't a bit retarded to buy a stupid game card for 1500$ or 3000$ ?? Do they think this card is really magic or what? This is just confirming that this game is made for stupid losers.
When I first started playing, there was this guy who played for a long time that I played against. He had 4 Black Lotus in his deck for the purpose of getting a 1st turn win by making me draw out my deck using Tolorian Academy and Time Warp. I also remember at that time Alpha set stuff was expensive. Beta set stuff not so much. Unlimited set stuff was like trash. I actually had a couple dual lands and used them... Without deck protectors.
+NineOneSixx well, he's right... I do not understand a single bit why this is exciting, but trashing it would just be stupid (and ignorant but I'm guilty of that too), so congrats dude on... you know... this thing that happened to you! :D
+N Jugs My jaw was gaping for at least 60 seconds when he tried to slice the plastic open pressing the scissors into the cards. I pretty much have to dislike due to complete stupidity.
2:01 "We are adding 3000+ subscribers a Month" From the date this video released to the moment I commented this comment is almost 42 Months (off by 3 days) 3000 x 42 = 126,000 subs And he is now at roughly 140,000 subs That is one hell of a psychic...
Thats crazy when you factor in he was 15000 when he made this video, 126+15=140. But even crazier when you consider the fact this guy and the guy who made the video are different channels..
I've been playing magic since revised. There is a lot wrong with that starter deck. The least of which is the pixelization on the mox. My counterfeit black lotus has the same pixelization.
"oh man you messed up my piece of paper by soiling it with some particles of your oils and DNA now I can't successfully live my life with a sense of accomplishment whatever shall I do????"
"WHY am I HERE, this was in my recc..." ...You're here because you clicked on it. The video, the thing that doesn't start unless you click on it. RU-vid has an algorithm, that's why it was in your recommended. But YOU'RE here cause you clicked on it. That's why... You... FFS.
i love how half the comments are bashing people who "waste" money on cards people spend on whatever they want, everyone probably has spent money on something that seems useless to someone else, who cares
Andy Melonseed obviously y'all care when u take the time out of your day to form a rebuttal. I agree that it's dumb to judge others spending, but don't say you don't care when it obviously bothers you.
TriggerHappyTristan I thought thats how much the pack cost? So I thought he paid 1300$ for a chance of getting a rare card. A mox ruby is only 1.3k$? I mean “only” but still isnt the lotus like 60k$?
I miss playing this with my friends. Learning how to use the stack together was fun and frustrating. The art of the cards was awesome and building a deck was awesome, good times.
mtgheadquarters that was soo much fun, this channel is awesome. im looking for that beta pack right now. ive got some unopened packs, if i donated them would you be interested in opening them in a vid , and maybe giving a shoutout?
Every bad intro ever: "Alriiiight, so, uh.... this is username and, uh.... this is video title. Alright, so... in video title, we're going to.... video title! And... here's more detail than you ever wanted to know about me including but not limited to my entire decision process leading up to making video. So, yeah, uh, don't forget to like comment and subscribe because, uh, it really helps me out and... uh... let me know what you guys think and what you want me to make next because I have no clear idea of what my channel is or what I'm about. So let's get started" *plays intro animation* Video is already 1/3 of the way over.
I have a bunch of these same cards in my old collection, are they worth anything even if they're slightly beat up? Like not ceased but scratched a little or slight wear on the edges
Possibly. Looking at the details of the card will determine if they came out in MTG's limited edition alpha, limited edition beta, or unlimited editions. Cards from those sets could possibly be anywhere from $3-5 to hundreds. Use google to find detail info and magiccards.info to find price.
Spending 500$ to burn a deck of cards? Go ahead, I really hope there are the 6k$ cards in there, which means you did not only lose the 500$ for the deck but you are not going out of it with a 5,5k win as you would have. I doubt that you get the cash back by any amount of views.
I've been a comic book geek/nerd all my life and I say that proudly, I don't game but I know exactly how this guy feels now. I'm happy for you bro nice find.
Rob Millington Protects it though. Even contact with skin oil or the backs of other cards, can wear and degrade a card in short order. I sleeve every rare I own that's worth more than $5 just on general principle.
No, it actually doesnt. It protects them from getting damaged yes, but the oils on your skin literally do NOTHING to the cards. When you get them graded they dont use gloves. You can touch the cards with your bare hands for 15 years and they will still be minty fresh lmao
not at all, thats why they have a coating over them that makes them slick to prevent that from happening. Touching the cards do nothing to the value. The sooner everyone learns that the better lol
Damn, I remember that time back in '97 when a friend of mine bought a fresh pack of Ice Age... we all freaked out when he got a pack fresh Icy Manipulator :-) Damn! This video hits the nostalgia spot!
It's not about the possible click bait. Things like sub4sub or asking for subscribers or shout outs are bad. You should never worry about your subscriber count, honestly. They should be a bonus of the hard work you put into making the videos.
subscriber = money money = more videos in regards to the click bait wtf do you expect him to put as a video title ofther than he got a rare card or 2? and asking for a like, comment and sub is done on pretty much every channel that actually cares about growth
Actually, you don't earn money from subscribers. Nobody does. You earn money from adsense. I shouldn't justify clickbait and why it's bad. There's a difference between asking once and begging. Self explanatory.
Where does it say that card is a 9? It looks like there is a 0 in the upper corner. I was a Spellfire(TM) player and collector so I know nothing of MTG.
Mox Ruby* It's not Max, it's Mox. Also the 0 is as Swampy put it, the mana cost. It being a "Piece of Power 9" is because it's one card of 9 different cards that are all incredibly rare.
You've came a long way man! In this video you were trying to reach 20k subs and now you have 160 fricken K!!! Congratulations man this is truly an awesome feat. Much luck to you on your future card endeavors!
