ORIGINAL Innistrad Booster Box = Halloween edition ...what an ENDING! 

I feel bad for the guy getting this box. All the cards with women on them are going to be stuck together.

I started playing around the zendikar block. My favorite standard timeframe was innistrad & rtr, by far. No other standard format comes close. I also religiously collect diregraf ghouls and drogskol captains, because theyre dope.

For halloween I'm gonna glue a fetchland to my face. If anyone asks me what I am, I'm gonna say "A good investment"

Started playing Magic when Innistrad was released. Still my favorite set plain and story so far.

I'm walking down memory lane right now. I'm seeing how much my Innistrad Token deck is currently worth as I watch this. 4x Parallel Lives (1 Foil), 4x Intangible Virtue (2 Foil), 4x Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, 4x Garruk Relentless, 4x Lingering Souls, etc lol I had SO MUCH FUN with this set! I was just getting off drugs at the time and switched addictions to MTG. I'll never forget Innistrad, or sell my token deck lol

One $60 snapcaster mage out of a $300+ box. Incredible.

Innistrad is the set I started with. I regret not drafting it more what a fantastic set. Looking back the art is 10x better than I remember, especially compared to today's. Who else drafted Innistrad MTGO all weekend? I usually don't play MTGO but that changed everything.

Sometimes ya gotta take a step back. Rudy. Magic took that to heart in their quality department.

Thank you for doing this. I was just getting into magic the first time when this set was out. This and later Return to Ravnica will always have a place in my heart.

This was the set that I got into magic. Still my favorite.

Innistrad is an absolutely gorgeous set! I'm so thankful I drafted alot during it, and I'll always love my black blue green "dredge" deck.

My first mtg purchase was the 2013 deckbuilder's toolkit, and of the one Innistrad booster, one Avacyn restored booster, one dark ascension booster and one 2013 core, I pulled a Liliana of the veil, and a Gisela, blade of goldnight. to this day, I truly believe that the builder's toolkit boosters are somehow stacked to hook new players. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine in... 2014? born of the gods. he got a Kiora, the crashing wave (when it was more than 2$) and one of the gods.

I was playing during Innistrad release, great set but 3 of my regular opponents were playing Delver decks, motarpod/puresteel dealt with them until they cycled. Damn did did I love New Phyrexia. First thing I bought as an adult after a decade away from the game was a New Phyrexia fatpack, foil Batterskull BAM! Friends were horrified that I played with it unsleeved. Good times.

Innistrad is the set that got me really into magic, I was playing standard and drafting the hell out of that thing back in 2012. Combined with the Scars of Mirrodin block, I think it was the best time standard ever had. There were so many amazing decks around, I remember people even trying some werewolf madness with playset of Moonmist. It gave birth to really powerful standard deck, the winrates of Delver were off the charts. But you could play Pod, Ramp, Gavony, Esper, Infect, Monoblack, Jund, UW Spirits, UW Flare... And they were all really good! Then Avacyn broke out of the vault and brought another amazing set of cards, giving birth to the sick behemoth ramp deck, reanimation madness and the most troll card of magic ever... Thrun, the Last Troll. Oh I'm kidding, although he was on standard too. Griselbrand is the one, that was fun to see on turn 4. Remember your opponents face when you pulled bonfire or entreats from the top? S-i-c-k. And did I mention that before Scars rotated, M13 came out, and we also had Thragtusk + Restoration Angel combo? Return to Ravnica had some great additions, UW control and BR aggro stands out in my mind. It would seem like the awesomeness had to end with Mayan calendar...

Tragic slip was my favorite card from that block. Loved it. I actually played until Urzas block ended and then stopped playing until innisrqd block (talk about lucking out on the value) I remember during an FMN we did a draft after. The box they used for prize support (gave away prob half the box) was the closet thing I’ve seen to a “god box” every single pack in the box had 2-3 mystics/rares. The flip card, the regular and a foil. Was nuts. Ended up buying the second half of the box and pulled a foil Lilly and 2 snaps! Still have them. Probably the coolest box I’ve ever seen. Wizards used to do fun stuff like that from what I understand.

Still my favorite time in standard is the Innistrad Block and Return to Ravnica ... so many viable decks and brews and FNM was ALWAYS packed with like 70+ people ...

I started playing the month m10 came out and obviously my favorite sets were zendikar thru eldrazi but this set itself was the best set to use to make or upgrade all of my decks. I give that set a 10/10 no doubt

The 13 theme in Innistrad was a goose egg planted by R&D because it was the 13th set Mark Rosewater worked on.

A lot of iconic cards in this set. I forgot how many of these I actually play with

Yes, this might also "hands down", be the best ART since 'The Dark'.

That's the most mythical I've seen in an Innistrad box in one opening. And I've opened A LOT of Innistrad

Innistrad was the first set that I played when I started getting into magic. Loved that block.

Good ol Innistrad, shout out to that sweet Liliana and Flip Garruk pack

At both pre-release and regular release I pulled two mtyhics. Both were grim-rins. 10/10 little jimmy limited. I recall at one point having Skirsdag High Priest and had creatures dying left and right, and the whole time I thought morbid was sorcery speed. Lol good times.

Yep I played back then when I was 9, had a awesome werewolf deck and when huntmaster came out it dominated.

Thank you for uploading videos right on time for my commute home.

You don't just get a piece of paper with a new box, but a sturdier two-sided piece of cardboard. Just so they have something to stick the box topper onto, so it won't get damaged as easily.

they should do a common or uncommon that flips into a rare or mythic

Come on, Innistrad wasn't too long ago.. I vividly remember half of these cards being played in standart. I personally played a lot of Magic back then

Back in the day. First box I ever opened.

3:37 donnie darko xD

When I started playing this was the new set, that's all i've got to add to this

Creepy Rudy aside, that is one of the best pieces of Lili art that they have ever put out.

Gatta admit I havent played since like 2003-2004 the artwork on this is fantastic

Remember when magic art drew you into the game? Rudy’s Taco lockbox remembers.

This is my favourite set I remember playing it in the computer lab floor in year 6 with my mates and flexing on them with my zombies

This was my first boosterbox in returning back to magic and it had two s. mages and sorin in the box

I started playing Magic with this set. I had never drafted or anything, just went to the store with some friends to try a draft. First pack I open in the draft, Liliana. The pre-release people went apeshit! Stopped playing after the 3 Innistrad expansions came out, was fun but too expensive for me :)

Waking up with Rudy!

Oddly enough, shortly after original Innistrad came out is when I stopped playing standard.

I started playing in m12 and I was a kid and my dad always bought me precons from dark ascension and indastrad and they are still some of my favorite sets

I started playing around when coldsnaps came out. Haven't regret my decision.

I actually played back in Shards but then left until right around BFZ came around. I missed so many good sets..

Cellar Door ... Drew Barrymore ... Top 5 movie of all time!

Creepy rudy is back bois

Take a shot every time Rudy says "Who remembers...."

13 damage because gothic horror themed plane, 13 as an unlucky number, etc.

21:47 dat snap doe!?!?!

For Halloween, my LGS is closing. As in for good.

Stayed to the end, nice Snappy

Rudy remember blasphemous act and Boros reckoner were in the same standard. Thats why it is cool compared to wrath of god.

Decent box, i'm glad someone else did a Halloween opening on youtube Cheers Bro, sadly i cant afford OG inners, and had to deal with doing Eldritch moon on my side, but you know what i got what i wanted from that box!

I got back into magic right at the Scars of Mirrordin and end of Zendikar, and drafting Zendikar, Scars, and Innistrad was truly amazing and fun magic. I stopped again right before Theros, and playing again now, the new sets just don't have the impact.

damn this set is so good

Loved this set. It was jest cycling out when I started playing. But love the art!!

Shadows over Innistrad wasn't crap :(

Why can booster boxes be shipped out side of the us?

I remember this! :) Innistrad was the last expansion I was playing :) I remember the day when I bought two packs and there were two Lilianas and one was foil!!!

I'm lucky enough to own the playmat of that box art :D

First fat pack I ever bought was innistrad the nestalgia is real mane

10 year old Rudy approves. :D

Rudy scamming people to scrape up some shoe money. The art on these are fucking incredible.

I caught your Donnie Darko reference buddy

I played during this time in standard... Blasphemous Act your own Boros Reckoner... Slap you right in the taco 😂

What a legend, Thanks for the great content as always Rudy l😂😂

OH YES

I PICKED THAT BOX BEFORE YOU DID. THE WRAPPING WAS OFF BUT I TRUST NOT REPACKED. GIGGIDY

Donnie Darko

I mean, snapcaster does have flash

She is the sexiest Magic character by far

I googled the booster box number and it brought me to a 10 minute long video of Rudy eating tacos. When the video was over my phone rang. It was creepy Rudy and he told me I would die in 7 days.

“Is this the bat I want to take out for drinks?” -Rudy

Nice Donny Darko referencce!

Rudy just looks at Lilliana and then sits down and lights a cigarette

This was the first set to come out after I started playing. Absolutely my favorite set! First ever pack I opened was an Innistrad pack and I pulled a foil Snapcaster Mage.

This opening is scary as shit

He keeps apologizing for slow rolling but I haven't seen this set before so I love the slow rolling (i started with theros)

Is this the right Lilly for our Willy?

I remember my innistrad box from 2012. Had only 3 mythic: past in flames, reaper from the abyss and balefire dragon, but I had 4 foiled rares: Snapcaster, kurrin outlaw, charm breaker devils and daybreak ranger and also a regular snap caster.

you're so damn right bout the women 🔥 sexy the gathering

I enjoy the banter and stories when you slow roll these old sets. Keep up the good work Rudy

Eldrich Moon flip foils bent in both ways... Innastrad flip foils are still crisp.

This is when I started playing magic. I started collecting cards and getting interested in the game during the phyrexia block, but I didnt know how to play yet. Right as I learned how to play, innistrad came out. This block will always be my favorite🖤 I'm not a fan of standard these days. But this was the best time for standard by far. Dark ascension Friday night magic was JUICY.

innistrad block, imo was when mtg was at the peak of its modern times

I keep telling myself this month for sure I'll order something from my $10 patreon sub. One whole year and $120 later I have only purchased once hahaha still worth it to so you can keep up the good content flowing.

they should put Rudy's face on new booster boxes as the featured art so you know when you're getting hosed.

I remember this edition fondly. I loved it. It was great for draft and great for magic standard decks. The fluff was thick. Thx for bringing back good memories rudy.

Easily my favorite set of all time. Started playing right before this and did sooooo many Innistrad drafts. The price of the box today would easily be worth the nostalgia alone to draft, forget about the actual value.

How in of the FFKAKAKAKAKAKAKA can you say do some spooky shite, and not be creepy rudy the DAY BEFORE HALLOWS EVE?! ROFLOLMFAOMFGAFFSMFHNNGTFOTPTFOH! ( I can tell ya exactly what that run on...whatever its claled, means.) CREEP IT UP!!!! >,;,

I totally agree with you Rudy, the artwork on these are fantastic, especially compared to more modern sets.

Dark Ascension was the reason I started and I built a deck but kind of gave up after that. Your right it was a great said I love the white green decks and the red black dicks those are the old some Windex for me and I loved playing them and building them they were so fun! I love your knowledge Rudy keep up the hard work I love you bro!

You didn't open up that pack backwards, I think it's mapped that way to specify that you're going to get a badass card because I looked back at the video and it does turnout the pack was opened up right and that's kind of crazy, pretty cool!

The nostalgia feel was great. I mean I didn't play back then but I know of and respect what Innistrad means to the game, but goddamn that was a terrible box value wise. LOL Too bad we probably won't see more innistrad booster boxes get opened because this is a great set just to see get opened. Commons, uncommons, everything is flavorful and great. This set was truly lightning in a bottle.

Oh my gaaaahhhhhhd ~Rudy

My favorite deck I ever had was during Innistrad and Return to Ravnica. Guttersnipe and Talrand. Flashback cards to get the triggers to activate all the time. Also burning vengeance. I got 4th place with it once. I'm a Johnny if you didn't figure it out.

I think its funny, this is when i first got into magic, and i bought a starter pack for m11 or 12? and it came with Inistrad, Dark Ascension and the core set of the time. I pulled a snapcaster and played it casually un-sleeved for several years until i realized it was worth a decent amount.

He say 300 Dollar bit on eBay for 90-100 Dollar lol

I guess Rudy is used to going around asking "is this the right willy?" CREEPY RUDY RETURNS!!!

I really wish this was a Shadowmoor booster opening, that seems spookier and more festive to me. But this was a great unboxing nonetheless!

I definitely played with undying and zamick guildmage So turn 1 young wolf Turn 2 attack for 1 (maybe ) Then play a rapid hypridization on my young wolf and get a 3/3 frog lizard token lol then young wolf becomes a 2/2 from undying Then play hunger of the howlpack and because a creature dies you can get 3 +1/1 counters on either the 2/2 wolf or 3/3 frog lizard but we usually go with the frog lizard token (making a T2 -2/2 + 6/6 !) so we can do another sweet combo Zammik guildmage has Pay (g)(blue) remove a +1/+1 counter from Target creature and draw a Card So now we can use young wolf as a infinite blocker lol Stranglroot gheist worked too but it was my SIMIC GIMICS frog lizard 🐟 deck ! I always Homebrew the weird stuff ! Ask me about my pump and dump heroic T2 10 damage Deck! Lol yes this was a good time in magic. Basically anytime before net decking got so so overwhelming .. I love draft.. really brings all these sets to life ..
