~ IMPORTANT MAGIC UPDATES ~
Added 2025-01-31 01:08:05 +0000 UTCIt will take me another 3 weeks to fully adjust the warehouse and inventory to handle the volume of magic boxes being sold at this time. In my 9 years on patreon i have never experienced demand for magic boxes at this level. I am overhauling the infastructure and build levels of all play boxes to handle this new market cycle.
The problem is/was i normally stock 1,000 of each play box to handle the deman and give enough time for restocking as needed. At this point in time, 1,000+ boxes are selling in a couple days and the demand is NOT slowing down at any point in the month.
It will take me 30 days to get the new system in place and to increase the inventory levels to 2,000-3,000 play boxes at all times for all sets to prevent running out and causing shipping delays.
~ READ ME ~
FEBRUARY is going to be LAST CALL FOR LOST CAVERNS OF IXALAN DRAFT. If you havent purchased cheap magic this month, you can get your order in now and purchase again in Feburary. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. This is the LAST DRAFT BOX EVER MADE.
Duskmourn Play boxes are running 7 days behind on all orders. I expect this to catch up and return to 1-2 day shipping around 2/7/20215 (1 week)
Jumpstart Foundations 1 box limit has been removed and i will monitor demand
I recommend Jumpstart Foundations if you are cracking packs or selling single cards.
AetherDrift Play boxes will be cheaper then the $116 shipped per box.
I am also monitoring the new higher USPS shipping rates that started 9 days ago for shipping costs.
USPS scans on packages is worse than ever, just because you dont see a SCAN on your pacakge does NOT mean it hasnt shipped. Please be patient.

2025-02-01 08:11:48 +0000 UTCYou order for the month goes by the date. If you order on Jan 31, it is your Jan draft/play box order for January. If you order Feb 1, it is your order for February and you have to wait until March for you next order

DanielFish2
2025-02-01 00:21:13 +0000 UTCHe hasn’t released the pricing for the new 30-pack boxes. He has only mentioned that they’ll be cheaper than the current play boxes at 116
Dav the WarlordCardGamer
2025-01-31 21:24:23 +0000 UTCInflation, and trump’s first term are the two biggest answers. I believe USPS has never made a profit, and politicians have been pushing it to stop being a burden on the budget. Someone else might be able to chime in with a more specific answer, but I believe that’s the gist of it.

2025-01-31 21:23:51 +0000 UTCHey Rudy are you doing a FNM special? Just wondering
Jeremy Steinman
2025-01-31 19:19:24 +0000 UTCYes I'm pretty sure that will work 😃
Patrick Pesa
2025-01-31 15:43:17 +0000 UTCWell Rudy and all my floppy Taco 🌮 lovers. I finally got on the $15 Patron list (been 1 year) after years of waiting for a spot. I'm afraid I lost my job of 22 years due to no incoming work? I've waiting years to be on the famous $15 Patron Rudy list but I don't think I'll be able to afford it. I'll truly miss all of you and Rudy with the amazing life changing opportunities he has to offer 😢 it's a sad day for me this February 1st 😢 ❤️

2025-01-31 07:11:47 +0000 UTCAnd the evening specials don’t count towards your monthly allotment.
Paul Lamb
2025-01-31 07:07:03 +0000 UTCYep, as long as you make payment in January, you can immediately follow it up in February. This is what he recommended if you haven’t placed a Jan order yet.
Paul Lamb
2025-01-31 07:05:33 +0000 UTCCan someone link me to the post on the cost to buy the ixalan set?
jackie chen
2025-01-31 05:55:27 +0000 UTCYeah it's nuts with all the reprints what the prices still get up to. But, people will pay what they wanna pay. I like my pretty card board or other pretty things, just like the next person. Just not mad reprints lol
Nikki W
2025-01-31 05:53:15 +0000 UTCCan I still order tomorrow, Jan 31st, and again feb 1st if I haven’t ordered yet this month? And still be involved with the other Friday night specials, etc? Sorry I’m new here. Thanks.
Matthew Schaehrer
2025-01-31 05:48:55 +0000 UTCI know your a busy guy Rudy but I ordered Innistrad Remastered collector boxes. Haven’t received a tracking or email saying it’s been shipped was planning on buying for the month boxes before January is over but I’m new to being a patron and that was my first order I have done with u if I have made a mistake on something was wondering if I could know or if I need to do something differently I did get my order within the time frame also.
Duane Hart

Ivy Night Phoenix
2025-01-31 04:10:00 +0000 UTCAny word on the surging sparks reprint that was rumored to be coming in February?
Zachary
2025-01-31 03:53:49 +0000 UTCI might just invest in one for this sale 😂
Rafael Pina
2025-01-31 03:41:50 +0000 UTCThanks that’s what I thought! Great post!
Austin H
2025-01-31 03:32:47 +0000 UTCOkay I haven't checked in a few weeks. I thought they recently had a price adjustment about a month ago that lowered it. I normally ship through pirate ship and was plesantly surprised when I saw the boxes I typically ship had gone down in price from $11.70 to just under $10. I typically have to ship 8 zones since I'm on the opposite cost as you Rudy.
William Yuen
2025-01-31 03:21:41 +0000 UTCShipping prices for larger .4 and .5 cubic have not gone down in price, and have gone up a LOT when its a cross country 3+ zone distance
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 03:16:32 +0000 UTCare the USPS shipping prices only higher with larger boxes? I ship 15x11x6 boxes and those have actually gone down in price.
William Yuen
2025-01-31 03:13:35 +0000 UTCVeteran with a terrible memory here. How does the policy work again for buying slightly early? I need to set alarms and calendar reminders for literally everything I do. Thanks 🤝

Joe Boggs
2025-01-31 02:30:08 +0000 UTCYou’re a machine Rudy!
Nicklaus Corney
2025-01-31 02:15:50 +0000 UTCWith the higher shipping prices what about FedEx or UPS?
David Milner
2025-01-31 02:15:09 +0000 UTCUsps is raising prices again??? I swear they JUST did that! Wtf is going on with them???? Their service keeps getting worst so why are they charging more? It is making it impossible to even break even when I see anything anymore without charging doe shipping because of that.
Amanda caudle
2025-01-31 02:10:48 +0000 UTCHow much is ixalan and what about aetherdrift
Crypto elf of Rivendell
2025-01-31 02:10:11 +0000 UTCThanks Rudy!

2025-01-31 01:59:51 +0000 UTCOoo Prismatic Sale Round 2 👀 I wonder how fast it'll sell out this time 🤔
Rafael Pina
2025-01-31 01:58:20 +0000 UTCDidn’t see a price for Ixalan draft. Where can I find it ?
Jeffrey Kinzer
2025-01-31 01:58:16 +0000 UTCCan't wait for that FaB bundle. I've been pumped and dumped a couple times, can't wait for the next one.

Keith
2025-01-31 01:34:37 +0000 UTCCant wait wanna snag some OP08 and maybe OP07
Jerry Ogren
2025-01-31 01:34:26 +0000 UTCCorrect, Wizards has these items inthe reprint que with Carta Mundi, printer capacity and other new releases take priority and reprints have to wait until a window of time opens to use the printers
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 01:33:05 +0000 UTCOver the next 90 days, i expecet Bloomburrow Play to hit something crazy like $160+tax which is mind blowing. The reprints coming are big
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 01:32:26 +0000 UTC👀 LOtR commander
kevin sykes

Mateo

Travis Clark
2025-01-31 01:29:58 +0000 UTCCurious about innastrad play boxes i might have missed it? Haven't been very active as of late.
Jeremy Mandelstein
2025-01-31 01:29:44 +0000 UTCPlenty of time to sleep in the future.
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 01:28:42 +0000 UTCGreat memory Austin! Yes that was the last Draft Specialty set , and Ixalan was/is the last Stanard Magic Draft set
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 01:28:24 +0000 UTCSaw my shipping label created at 2am. Appreciate you working late nights to get everything shipped out
Mateo
2025-01-31 01:28:00 +0000 UTClol....most likely it will be sold by the CASE (6 per case) i have agreed to pay over asking price with a distributor to get additional cases
Rudy The Magic Guy
2025-01-31 01:27:46 +0000 UTCWasnt Ravnica Remastered the last draft box ever made? Or did Lost Caverns have a reprint after Ravnica Remastered was released?
Austin H
2025-01-31 01:27:41 +0000 UTCAre we looking at a specific limit per order on Finish Line Bundles? 😁
