Time Sensitive - Wotc Ban(Un) announcement

WIth the UNBANNING of Mox Opal, the card has doubled in price in a couple hours.

Dont buy the card, its coming in a reprint.

Buy the Sealed boxes.

I would recommend getting any booster boxes of the original Printing of Mox Opal from SCARS OF MIRRODIN. These boxes have been online for $300-$500 for a long time with very very little supply.

This news should push the price of Scars of Mirrodin to $1,000+ a booster box.

If you can get a store or seller that wont cancel your order, i would buy those boxes.

Lastly, Innistrad Remastered Collector box supply is pathetic, early numbers are now arriving....Buy on the open market today at any price UNDER $400.00. Yes $400 or less.

As this bull market continues to spread, it appears 2025 has a high probability of being historical for the CCG world.

Buckle up Buttercup.

Comments

The comments from 8 years ago are wild, and I've had a little fun replying to some of them (though its unlikely any of the commentors will actually see my reply to them). Its also crazy that you were right about Scars but also wrong about kaldesh boosters and inventions being nostalgic with players. (Kaldesh was my first pre-release and the first set launched after I started playing. Its Very nostalgic to me as a result). Anyways, It's nice to see that even the Taco-man sometimes mistakes the steak in front of him for beans; even when pointing out that the inverse is true on a different plate.

You know, the market depth is so abysmally shallow (like Rudy says...maybe 20 - 30 Boxes at most between TCGPlayer and Ebay for certain sets 2012 - 2019) for Bronze Age boxes if even just 1 of each of us Patrons bought sealed boosters from the sets between Return to Ravnica (except Dragon's Maze, I refuse, it can rot in the bowels and flames of damnation as far as I'm concerned) and Dominaria we could all own the market, literally, repost those boxes at double or more. Just sayin, Buy Everything, I've been doing that!

Ivy Night Phoenix

many others for under 300 still

FYI, direct from Amazon pre-orders are still $329 + tax for Innistrad Collector Boosters if anyone is trying to build their position

Colin Bashor

Sorry I will not

christian

That’s hilarious!

Joshua Halstead

Seller just cancelled my order because it was magically out of stock… 😒

Aaryn

Rudy I know your into Weiss will you have a position on Bandai Gundam TCG Beta play kits that release in February 2025?

Andrew Cleave

commander easy

Tomas Packan

I dont personally think the single cards or the loose packs will rise much. I believe we are in the now at the begining of a major repricing of all older booster boxes that have been supressed down for years.

Rudy The Magic Guy

OR.....people could have listened to me when i told EVERYONE to BUY SCARS OF MIRRODIN BOXES 8 YEARS AGO FOR $125 a BOX........

Rudy The Magic Guy

Idk I think I should ask him. Otherwise, who is he going to make videos about telling people to stop asking?

Travis Shaw

He always holds the position if he has any - always pump, never dump - you would sell? Think about it…

Tomas Packan

I’m just here for the tshirts

Stefanos Amanuel

Thanks for the heads up Rudy you rule

Austin H

Idk have you asked him?

Travis Shaw

RUDY HAS NO BOX TO SALE - he has its own position, buy somewhere else

Tomas Packan

Step One - Ask to buy boxes at last years prices. Step Two - Get rejected. Step Three - Reject the rejection. Step Four - Cancel Patreon membership. Step Five - Attack people in the Youtube comment section. Step Six - Never change. Step Nine - Big Profit. Step Sister - Stuck.

Joseph MacAllister

Lol scum seller will probably cancel

Ronnie Olson

I just realized post Malone owns a 3 million dollar card that can't be played anymore

Paul Glozeris

Rudy already bought them all and THEN posted!

Travis Shaw

is this where we ask Rudy if he has any boxes for sale? and do people REALLY do that?

Travis Shaw

🥃

Luca Rovaldi

Local Game Store.

Scott Meyer

What does LGS stand for?

Joseph Twyman

Damn I was hoping innistrad remastered was going to be reasonable. My local lgs said 400 and I thought they were joking.

Joshua Halstead

Within an hour of that email, the only available boxes are $900. Timing be crazy.

Patrick Giyan

Yo Rudy!! after my message and our short conversation! was able to pre-order Innistrad Collector boxes for 250 a box in for 2! Feels good knowing that decision is looking to be a good one!

Eldenbored

If we can’t find sealed booster boxes, would you recommend picking up sealed booster packs from reputable sources? In theory, as the box prices rise, so will the individual pack prices?

Jeremy Jones

great rudy, thx a lot for the message - this is I was asking for, great and thx, these details can make the patronate really unique

Tomas Packan

I bought a fair amount awhile ago for remastered, well guess your telling me my order will be cancelled at this point :(

Waturi

Thanks Rudy , got your message almost immediately GG

Ryan Hjelmeland

Well, looks like the Ixalan dump is already done. Seems like they had a pretty limited supply....

Chris Doersen

OG Double Masters also has Mox Opal and its VIP variant too. If the idea is to get sealed like Scars of Mirrodin, would this thinking also apply to the OG Double Masters?

Ryan L

Thanks for heads up on Innastrad Collectors., was waiting to see what you could offer but glad to know so I can go ahead and preorder some from somewhere else for now.

David Marshall

put me down for 2 Rudy :P

Waturi

Picked up a sealed 2023 Las Vegas Festival-in-a-box as my contribution. All the booster boxes flew off the shelves in minutes. Hopefully my order is fulfilled🤞🏻

Aaryn

Btw very much appreciated Rudy, definitely another way you give value to your patrons by swinging your humongous penis in a direction for us to follow 🙏

JJ Fang

let's see how many of the opals sold at $60 get cancelled, also a ton were bought up on 12-14 ya somebody knew somehting

Chris Scott

I went ahead and pre-ordered a few Innistrad Collector from Amazon. Not the best option I could find, but I've never had any issues buying pre-orders from them.

Gerald Tarrant

Ahhhh shit

Peter Hauge

I had 4 BOXES out of 6 Kaladesh cancelled on me at $350... Made sure to buy extra this time hoping they only cancel half

JJ Fang

Thank you Rudy. Just wish I had the capital to have ordered more than one lol

Fabien

Great info thanks

DarkCloverGames

Well said. That was my first thought seeing the unban

Jimmy Woodward

I was able to snag a box off ebay for $500, hoping my seller doesn't cancel lol

Patrick Yang

Same

George Merdkhanian

TCGPLAYER sellers must’ve caught wind. Prices shot up to hell

William Bauer

Scars boxes already hit 1000 a box lol. That was fast, video dropped less than a min ago.

Zach Sebby

great price....if you can actually get authentic boxes...

Rudy The Magic Guy

Thanks Rudy, just bought one scars booster box for 500 tax and shipped.

Paul Koenen

This single post just paid for a years worth of Patreon subscription, thanks rudi 😇

Mateo

$20-$40 under market price is a normal target. So if pre sale price is $400 he will be around $379 a box.

Anthony Paramo

My retail therapy journey continues

Inept Card Collector

Thanks for the news. I locked in some kaladesh ones for under 600. I hope with kaladesh boxes going up and this unban I did well.

Londar Swift

Do you have a ballpark as to what you're gonna sell Innistrad Remastered for yet, Rudy?

Adam Willis

My faithless lootings went up too

Troy Stromer

And meanwhile... Amazon dumps Lost Caverns of Ixalan Collectors Boxes at $218 + tax.

Chris Doersen

What a time to be alive!

Matthew Duncan

Not me buying two sealed cases from my lgs for $255 a box 💪

John Gallo

Thanks!

amassingill

Alex Fontes

Orion

Beseiged/New Phyrexia dont wont have the impact of Mox Opals gains and New Phyrexia is already skyrocketed

Rudy The Magic Guy

Good lord I can’t pay quick enough had one at 430 but nope

M

Funny watching them disappear in TCG player.

BrewCrew75

Damn not fast enough. Had one in the bag for 325 and gone.

Matt Quezada

Anthony Benitez

Mateo

Do the subsets like besieged carry this?

Alex Fontes

So glad I got SoM versions them on the ban dip for like $28 USD

Michael Martin

If you buy innistrad remaster right now for under $400 you are getting FREE MONEY.

Eric Gamache

God we can only hope it continues. Fingers crossed. My small ass shop needed this market swing something bad. Thanks for doing you, TacoMan.

Decks & Dice LLC

Innastraad locked in at 289.89

Sean Rogers

Thanks Rudy! Appreciate the Time Sensitive news. Usually you post on YouTube where we Patreons don't have an advantage.

Keith Hendley

Very quick & new school mid-month update that we have been thirsty for, for so long.

Andrew Schulz

Innistrad locked in.

Ryan

How dare you have inside info already!? I am outraged and shocked.

Andy Wilkes
