MILLIONS IN FAILED MAGIC THE GATHERING 

Man sits surrounded by $3.50 of sealed Magic product.

Florida man crushed in basement by fallen boxes of cardboard.

rudy was just the timmy all along

My favorite Rudy content is when he spends 20-60 minutes boiling down that 99% of capitalism is just the rich getting richer

"You can hear the Dice!"-Rudy "shakes the box" PSA 5 "shakes the box again" PSA -4

Rudy is one hurricane away from being a much sadder man.

I love how you can hear the pitter-patter of his bare feet in the beginning like a true goblin

I don't play or collect MTG anymore but I'm still subbed for salty troll videos like this. Never change 😂

0:43 - Iconic Masters was only the 7th time Magic had failed and fell apart? Let's see, Magic failed when 1) They released Chronicles, 2) They created Type II, 3) They decided that sets would rotate out of Type II when they released Mirage, 4) The 6th Edition Rules changes, 5) The 8th Edition card frame changes, 6) The emergency errata for Waylay, 7) Necro Summer, 8) When WotC was bought by Hasbro, 9) Affinity for Artifacts, 10) Creation of Mythic Rarity, 11) Stickers, 12) EDH turning into Commander, 13) Modern Horizons (all of them), 14) Magic 30th Anniversary Set, and I'm sure I'm missing a few others.

Rudy breaking Gift Packs is true ancient Alpha Investments lore.

We need a horror game of Rudy stalking you through his cardboard labyrinth

I found this channel because I love magic and saw you opening some dope vintage magic packs. I didn't realize then that the real value of your channel was you sharing your experiences and the lessons you've learned along your journey.

I just realised, I would LOVE a video tour through your whole collection, everything you have there. Could be 4 hours long, I would watch it. You could just go through all of this stuff and talk about magic 😅

This is like the Simpsons meme where Homer is talking to Bart - "so far."

After watching this video I’m convinced that Rudy got married , had reception, and spent his honeymoon at this warehouse. The Alliance box was there for it all.

Pepperidge farm remembers, Rudy.

Nobody can tell me Rudy hasn't seen it all. I always enjoy your perspective man. Thanks for the many years of personality and retrospective analyses.

This video is the exact opposite of the 52 minute lesson on life video. Rudy for the first few minutes questions why he's here and starts throwing sealed product.

The 3 current best performers in my sealed collection I’ll be selling off: Reap the tides precon: bought at 28$ in 2021, tcg low 132 Elven ambush precon: bought at 35$ in 2021, tcg low 93 Phyrexia ONE compleat bundle: bought at 115 in 2023, tcg low 184 No you won’t get every pick right, yes I have a bunch of other sealed in the toilet, but there is a skill set in recognizing products that will outperform. My next pick is the OTJ quick draw precon and the OTJ commander deck cases as a whole because of the bounty mini game. Things with quirky little add ins like that have a novelty factor that helps reduce devaluation.

Those boxes....."I've been touching this wrapper, myself for nine years straight. I go like this *fingers wrapper* everyday". Hell yeah, brother.

The way you just threw them shits on the floor XD

Thank you very much for your many videos. I listen to a lot of them and I think I am learning things. Many thanks.

"The economy, stupid" James Carville in 1992 ( Warning , paper cards have zero real value )

The last 3 minutes of this video is GOLD!

Not even bothering with new Magic anymore and all these reprint sets. Rather just stick to collecting older sets that don't have over 600 cards in them.

Anyone else just tired of all the new flashy bs, i miss 2001-2008 mtg

when he walks away i get scared he's not there

Thank you for making this video. It explains a lot about the snapshot of the markets over the past 5 years.

Magnificent green screen skills, my dood.

I never would have guessed my 400 commander decks from 2019-2022 have out performed almost everything sealed.

I remember when rudy bought all the gift packs. Good times.

great upload here Rudy, we appreciate your wisdom.

Hope you do well with all this stuff Rudy. That’d be cool to see. Somehow, anything post collectors edition boxes and the booster fun era seems like if you zoom out in time frame, in 15-20 years, this era’s magic will eventually collapse like 90’s era comics and sports cards. Although some had an increase in value during that time, today, it’s all basically worthless. None of it is rare. Anything during today’s era feels like it can’t succeed in the long term. Maybe I’m wrong; no one knows for sure. Hope you do well with it if you hold, it just seems unlikely.

Love how excited Rudy is about magic. Keeps me invested. Bash all you want but the guy loves magic

Rudy i missed this location so mich! Thank you for never leaving us!🎉

As far as magic I really only buy the cool crossover stuff that they release, I bought a bit of the LOTR cards, and some of the doctor who cards. I think the problem with any TCG is getting new players in. Its a huge problem in ygo and thats because of the price point to get into the game. I picked up the Gardevoir battle league deck for 30$ and had a near top tier deck. So if I had to suggest a card game for people to get into on the cheap its definitely pokemon. With magic, I guess if I bought the individual cards for the Sauron deck I built it would have been cheaper, but even buying the commander deck, which I think was like 75$, thats still a lot for someone to spend and then still have to buy about 20$ more in cards to make it playable.

Thank you you turnt around and touch the boxes behind you, I was wondering if it is just green screen

Rudy living my best life

My wife's boyfriend tells me Inflation is imaginary.

Got any more heavy bags in Karlov Manor? Let's see where they go in 5 to 10 years.

I couldn't tell you how much fun I had watching you open Iconic masters, while I was opening iconic masters, trying to get a mana drain!

Those gift boxes are my kind of random. Why didn't I like magic in highschool again?

Hey Rudy, do you feel like not paying attention to individual cards in a set is the reason why you have some failure? Sure the Mordern horizons stuff is good but how do you gauge sets?

Thank you Rudy. You always give it to us straight. No BS

Scarcity is king. I still kick myself for not picking up 7th Edition foils when they were super cheap back in the day.

This location wpuld be the new Pokemon bathroom! Let's goooo! Stay the course people!

Rudy do you have any thoughts on the counter strike skin market or other virtual items that are based on video games?

Rudy has kept a secret all this time. All of those boxes you see behind him are unopened alpha starter deck boxes.

03:01 I remember those, I still got a handful stashed away that i picked up for about $12 AUD, the booster packs inside were about $6 a pop by them selves at the time

video that you made 7 to 8 years ago and you were talking about the reserve list and buying mtg products and stuff and you will like well you know if you like the card by the cards and then it doesn't matter if it goes up and down now i bought a wheel of fortune for like £100 and that's worth like triple the money nowadays but am i going to sell it no cos it's in my goblins deck

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

I know where he's at right now. He's in the lighthouse of his sister's boyfriend's cousins next door neighbor, owned by the third dynasty. Y'all see in the back, the goldfish getting the lavaclaw reach around while eating the taco bell party pack of soft taco's.

This reminds me of the movie Dave Made a Maze. Rude should make a short "Rude Made a Maze" and use his heavy bags to build it. Would be fun.

Unhinged Rudy is my favorite gender.

Would love to see all your sealed silver age cards. I bet it's less than 25% of what we see in this room.

I'm trying with every fiber of my being not to make a clip of the "inflation destroyed you" bit. Had me rolling while being informative and casual about it. It's everything that keeps me coming back as a newer fan. Thanks Rudy

3:49 We're just hanging out. These kind of videos make it really feel like we are all just hanging out and talking about Magic and collectibles

I have two of those alliance booster boxes and they look just like that!

I host budget drafts in Cape Town South Africa and Iconic Masters was very fun!

The boxes behind him definitely isn't a solid brick. Rudy has assorted his sealed product into somewhat of a fort actually maximizing his space.

Video title = Chronicles in the Homeland of a Fallen Empire

I have my own "spells" with collecting Magic and watching Rudy. Usually I begin it during the high point and lose out on value. Right now though I'm jumping in at the perfect time to be a buyer of older product. I still haven't made the trip up to see Rudy and I've been lurking and paying monthly for years. Im going to start planning my visit now.

just installed MTG Arena yesterday and I have no clue what are u talking about, but I love the contetn

LMAO the sliding box like 15 seconds in

I want to see the Alpha Investments X Loading Ready Run crossover where there do the classic "Pre-Pre Release" but instead everyone gets a random prerelease kit from Rudy's Warehouse of fun and magic. Call it the "Post-Post Release"

How do i support alpa on patreon so im able to buy stuff from him ?

Damn Rudy's hair is legit vading fast, you can really see it on the side angles. Bro I call BS about no stress.

Watching this and looking at all those boxes makes me wish I had ANY kind of pack around me right now so I could open it lol. Got the itch

What percentage of serialised cards is in that room?

wierd question but was ai used in this video to hide a beard or is the lighting of the room your in just making it seem off?

wish rudy would show us his stash of pog

It really is crazy to think about the fact this warehouse is going to be underwater in 10 years.

Is this the expanded bathroom? I thought I saw a toilet in one of the gaps between the boxes.

I wish I had manic episodes like you. I want to show my stuff off

The 4k is out of control on this video💎🤣

He's completely right about selling and rebalancing risk. What you would do is sell part of it and use that money to make other investments. The thing I kind of regret was never buying any Alpha or Beta MTG. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I can remember seeing packs of it and being very interested in buying some of them. I remember for sure that I saw packs of Arabian Knights for sale when it came out, and I remember seeing Alpha and Beta packs at a card store but I was buying Pokemon cards at the time in 1996, I even remember asking the clerk about them because they were like $20 or $30 a pack. The problem was that my parents were religious and had bought into the entire MTG was evil thing, so I never got into MTG until closer to 2000. I have some unlimited and revised cards now that I've picked up, but I kind of doubt I'll ever buy any Beta or Alpha.

3:38 Yeet! 💥 📦💨👋😂

Honestly I really was hoping Rudy would of crashed through the stack of boxes kool-aid man style but the tossing of the gift boxes was better😆

Shoulda got some Zard slabs, probably.

Every time Magic fails, Rudy makes a million. And loses a hair.

It’s really amazing how he says the same thing over and over. Yet we still watch.

How long would it take to open all that

anyone know just how many boxes does Rudy have?

Timmy Investments

Very nice cases. Someday those will be like gold

Are the boxes at 3:00 the ones you used to beat me to death with years ago in your store?

I still wanna see a pool filled with cards

so the profit he has on some things have been wiped out by things that have lost value.

iconic disasters oh man those were the days

RUDY do you ever just go and open a box or product for fun just because you can?

Do you have a dehumidifier, Rudy?

Who remember ultimate masters bingo

My whole channel is finding cool stuff I forgot I had! 🎉😂

I remember the gift packs and you trying to find masterpiece cards in the gift packs.

Also wouldn't it make sense to sell the dead stock high enough to cover taxes or take a capital loss as a coupon and reinvest it in the next thing? Or even a certain percentage like instead of 400 boxes liquidate down to 200 and buy out all the serialized classic etched quadruple rare reprints while having a bonfire fueled by wilderness metazoo boxes

Fallen Empires. Anything that can be reprinted will, given enough time, have the same value as sealed Fallen Empires.

If in 5-10 years my sealed Pokemon is still at the same price i'm gonna have fun ripping it.

Love these videos lmao

Plot twist hypothetical… Imagine the background is pure green screen. Rudy’s already a WotC board member, and just loves getting his hands dirty and the Timmy’s are tricked by the commercial mastermind in the ivory tower.

id kill for some bulk like that me and my friends have just been playing for the last year and bulk is nice
