Well Generations didn't have booster boxes either. To keep the spirit of a big milestone year, they make exclusive products so it would make sense to keep in line with what they did with Generations for the 20th anniversary which is ETBs, tins and packs only, no booster boxes. Plus the Celebrations packs only contain 4 cards and it's a very small set compared to most English sets in modern era printing.

Toshimitsu

I'm curious to see what celebration products he will be able to offer. It stinks that Pokémon doesn't offer booster boxes for the celebration.

JODY MCCULLOUGH

Hoping he goes big on Evolving Skies and Celebration box sets. Both look like very promising long term holds.

Ron Manelski

thanks for the feedback, i would recomend not purchasing and waiting a couple weeks for the prices to drop.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I meant I'm buying on ebay also

Jesse Marlow

I don't actually think this is going to sell out within 24 hours. People are gun shy as is, at that price point, and the possible damage to the outer product... unless its just a low amount of kits. I hope I'm wrong so Rudy can get his tacos.

Do Collector boxes come up for purchase or only draft/set?

Vlad

yes you can send me a PM letting me know which boxes/items you are looking for :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

August 1st, but will have a quantity limit due to supply problems of 1 or 2 boxes , not sur eyet

Rudy The Magic Guy

literally within the next couple days :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

Any chance of MH2 draft boxes coming available again?

JODY MCCULLOUGH

I’m fairly new as well. When does a new set hit the monthly list? D&D just came out, so when would Strixhaven boxes be available for $82?

Ryan Hall

This may have been said but can we still get Force of Will from you?

To my knowledge, you do not, no. $15 is the level you need to be at

Paul Santomauro

If I’m a $5 tier patreon do I still have access to buy single boxes? Or do I need to be at least a $15 one to gain access? I’m new here so sorry for the dumb question.

Matthew

Awesome deal! 🤘

Tourach

As long as the boxes are still listed in this post (the monthly Patron Product List), they're still available. Rudy updates this monthly post if anything goes out of stock (and usually sends a heads-up a few days ahead of time if it seems like there is a run on a product and stock is getting low). As of this time of this post, Zendikar Rising and Kaldheim are available. If you paid for this month, you're eligible. Just be sure you include what you are ordering in the "Add a note" section within PayPal, as well as your Patreon-registered e-mail address if it is different than your PayPal address.

I just joined the patreon and its almost the end of the month. I signed up for the $15 account. Will I be able to purchase the 6 x boxed boosters per month? How can I find out if they are still available?

I posted a heads-up to this on my social media accounts shortly after it went up (and after I purchased my product). It got a decent amount of traction, so I'm assuming CF shipped a LOT of product today. The more that goes out, the more traction it gets. Unlimited may be unlimited, but it won't be printed forever. The mindset of "don't by unlimited" that some other patrons are expressing will only prove prescient if the game crashes. And if that happens, the 1st Edition will also tank. Unlimited boxes/cards will start climbing once the end of the print run for WtR is officially announced and there is an idea of what will ultimately be the "cycle" for the game.

Hopefully you guys got in on the ChannelFireball Ebay listings for Monarch Unlimited cases. If you had intrest in playing F&B Unlimited is great. I picked up 4 cases (4 boxes per case) at $200 average each afer shipping\tax. Pretty cheap. They are going for a little more now but, they are still going for like 220's

Michael James McCouch

All $15+ tier members can buy the monthly product list. However there are limits (1 delivery, up to 6 boxes for the boxed boosters per month). Unless he's changed his policy he also allowed buying a case of a product separate from the 6 box limit. You also can buy from the sales he has every Friday (and additional days) as long as he has supply.

S. Wang

Do all patrons have access to these sales or just the ones within the tiers?

I’ve been looking for over 3 years now and finally got in. I’m pretty happy🙂

"and anytime immediately after Rudy posts a video about a change in policy" lolz too true

It can vary based on what else is going on in Rudyland. Typically, it's best to not get worried until 8-10 days after payment, and NEVER send a message until 10 days after. Also, be sure you check the details in the original post. It sometimes has specific shipping dates listed.

Custom pledges are NOT eligible. Just keep checking back. The $15.00 slots open up sporadically as people either cancel, get banned, or have their payment sources bounce. Best times to check are the first of the month, and anytime immediately after Rudy posts a video about a change in policy... LOL

Also new to the whole ordering boxes scheme, can someone tell me if you have to be in the 15 dollar tier specifically or if you can do a custom pledge of 15 dollars a month and still be able to order. It always says 15.00 patrons +, but never specifies if you need to be in the tier or if a custom pledge is ok, would love to know before I try to order a case.

ElectroDragon

For you longer term patrons. What is the general time from paypal payment to the product being shipped? My first shipment went out within 48 hours but it's been 96 since my second. Or is it just kind of random? just curious if I've missed text somewhere explaining the shipping system. TY

You are correct

Michael James McCouch

Magic Draft boxes have the 1 order per month restriction (up to 6 boxes, you can mix/match). You can also participate in any of the OTHER sales multiple times (give or take any individual limits/restrictions). HTH.

tyler

New here, hoping someone can help me with details on purchase limits: My understanding is that MAX, I can buy 6 standard boxes (only if order 6 at one time -- can't do two purchases in the same month) and additionally I can take part in all of the other sales listed. E.g. I could buy 6 Kaldheim draft boxes, a case of kaldhheim set boxes, a Strixhaven Commander 5 deck set, a 6 deck Kaldheim commander set, a FaB case, and take part in all of the Friday Night Specials? Is this correct? If not could someone please provide an example? I'm in the $15 tier if that changes things. Thanks in advance!

Eli

Hey Rudy, been trying to get a hold of you via messages regarding an error on my payment for the jumpstart boxes, hope you can help me out!

MAP on wtr & arc doesnt apply anymore right?

I just realized that I haven't thought of Strixhaven in weeks. These products really come at you lightning fast.

Marcos Rivera (Jedi168)

are the FnB items available to europe?

MAP doesn’t apply to WTR and ARC anymore. Only to products within 6 months after release. You can go lower on these boxes. :)

Tyler Brotton

Combination of important factors. 1. Proof of audit and details so the seller can see the cards he sold to me and view my findings if anything weird is found 2. Accounting/Auditing/Tax purposes 3. Historical record keeping, i firmly believe in 20 years A/B/U era cards will literally be in muesuems and not on the market.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Rudy, random question for you - when you record videos of inventory buying - what is your rational for this? Just content or another reason?

Larry Johnson

I've opened 2 draft boxes and 4 pre-release packs and didn't even get close to the cost of the sealed product. No Ragavan, no worth while foils, 2 Misty's, 1 Marsh, sure a bunch of <$15 stuff, but that's nearly impossible to move even at 80% of TCG low. You got lucky, imo. Unless it is the collector's box, MH2 is a sunk cost, in my experience. I mean, it was fun to open, but that's about it.

I bought 8 Modern Horizons 2 packs at my LGS today just for the hell of it and got over $190+ worth of cards. Pulled Ragavan Nimble Pilferer $75ish, Verdant Catacombs $32 , Cabal Coffers $25 and Marsh Flats $25, Yavimaya Cradle of Growth $10, Esper Sentinel $12, Dauthi Voidwalker $12 and that's not counting the uncommon and commons. These packs are a great value.

Guys like churdlefireballs got a special 33% markup permission because 1. MZ is having serious issues getting retailers and 2. CFB has a large customer base. I consider it sold out if you cant find it at msrp $99. But thats only because MZ cant get the right distributor deals to do a proper launch. Use their store locator and punch in random zips. You'll find virtually no lgs support. In fact half the hits are like tattoo shops and avon sales ladies...no joke. Then call some random lgs and you'll get 3 answers 1) metawho 2) my distributor doesnt have it and 3) my budget cant handle another ccg but maybe the next set Ill test the waters. I actually think MZ will be sitting on a lot of boxes and be forced to sell direct to consumer in Aug.. That all said kids love spooky lore, goosebumps, cringe scary youtube, fireside tale, beasties, etc.. If they could have gotten into the Wally's, target, drugstores, etc. it would have been a moonshot. Can the owner and team sustain a slow growth model until they figure out distribution??? If I were the owner I'd put some of the marketing capital he's using on youtube, tradeshows, merch, etc. and hire an experienced distribution/pitch(man or gal) expert pronto.

Ron Manelski

and from the "send & request" menu under "send money" I can put the AlphainvestmentsLLC@gmail.com there, is that how anyone else does it? I would include the address and my desired boxes in the "note" section below

I only see "send and request" at the top of PayPal. and after selecting that there is no place to choose "goods and services" Does anyone else have this problem?

I feel like Metazoo is going to fall on its face i was going to preorder 1st edition booster boxes but the fact release is less than a month and I'm able to get some and they arn't sold out shows me 1) not as many peolpe are into it as people think OR 2) they have a ton of supply available which will drive the price down. 3) another way to look at it is collectors will only really see the kickstarter version as the "REAL 1st edition " making the actual 1st edition more like a unlimited standing cause the Kickstarter higharchy.

Viking TCG

i can't wait for the metazoo drop!

mario telles anzurez

Yes

franklin r Springer

I have always wondered about these bundles. The per pack rate is normally cheaper than a draft box. Why is that? Is the pull rate different or is something missing from these packs?

$15 patron here, can you order the magic by the case after you already purchased all your draft boxes?

Kuroe6

When are you planning to do the F&B items? Looking forward to the Monarch with blitz decks combo you talked about.

Michael James McCouch

Good question. Usually, it’s 90 or so days after the original release date, though Rudy has been keeping the Draft Box options more limited than in the past. We may have to wait until Zendikar drops off the list.

Chris Doersen

Do we know when - or if - Strixhaven draft booster boxes are expected to be added to the list of available products?

Heads up for folks looking for Modern Horizons 2 Draft Boosters: the Bundles are currently selling for $45-50, and they include 10 Booster Packs each, plus foil basics and the rather nice spin down die. Pretty good rate compared to Draft Booster Boxes at $210ish.

Chris Doersen

can’t wait for the MetaZoo!!!!!

Ozzy B.

I hope there's something crazy good or else I'm gunna buy a water softener tonight

I hope it’s FAB tonight

One order per month Is his general rule. So if you order June 30. You can order July 1st. But that’s it until aug (for standard boxes) but sealed cases that he sells don’t count towards your once a month. So you could order 6 Zendikar standard boxes, and then from the one limit per month stuff you can order one of each set case.

Anthony Paramo

I joined late last month and ordered some draft boxes. Can I order more or do I gotta wait?

Pokémane

I really want to buy more Zendikar Rising draft and Kaldheim Draft but I just have no money. All my $$$ is tied up with old sealed Magic booster boxes that aren't selling right now due to the bearish market out there. I'm also saving for Forgotten Realms D&D MTG boxes but the torture is killing me.

Philip Chiu

Please dont let the bottom feeders buy copious amounts of MZ. As pokemon collapses these yoyo's will be jumping off and right into MZ for quick pump/dump. The game is already entering at a rocky point dont add fuel to the fire.

Ron Manelski

One more month of Zendikar Rising. I must not let it go to waste! (Buys six boxes of Kaldhiem). Noooooo! I did it again...

Brett (the toilet paper guy)

I’d be nice to have it one kit per patreon, so that everyone can have one.. just my two cents lol

Is metazoo multiple kits or just one kit per patron?

Paul Tufis

Will you be able to ship MetaZoo to EU?

Can't wait for MetaZoo. Count me in.

#Noobsaibot

The sale and transactions will take place 5-8 days before release date on july 23rd. It takes a lot of time behind the scenes to process and prepare for releases to make sure all the product actually ships on release date.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Will the AFR boxes come before the actual release date? I’m confused

Evan Foote

MetaZoooooooooooooooo! Thanks Rudster!

My body and wallet are ready.

animusdivide.ttv

August 1st is the goal

Rudy The Magic Guy

I think after meta zoo launch on the 30th he will give us an update about unlimited boxes.

Anthony Paramo

So many things I want to buy.

Paul Koenen

No flesh and blood??

Eddie Aguilar

When will you have Strixhaven draft boxes?

#Noobsaibot

Will Bradshaw
