PLEASE READ - Monarch + Modern Horizons 2

I noticed USPS is still not scanning many packages. I recomend checking your tracking number once a day. I see about 120 packages with no transit scans. Then it pops up saying "OUT FOR DELIVERY" so keep an eye out. Even with Signautre Confirmation USPS is not enforcing the signature due to Covid-19.


Running ahead of schedule approx 70% of all Monarch bundles have shipped

Should be completed by Monday. 

Be careful, the Cold Foil card is in a sleeve and WRAPPED IN THE PLAYMAT for protection during transit. 

Do not open your box and throw the playmat like a Chalupa or unfold it across the table by throwing it....lol


Im sure by now everyone is aware Modern Horizons 2 is going to be a MONSTER product release for Magic in 40 days. Wizards appears to be taking no chances on this product due to the high price point.

I am expecting an OVER-ENGINEERED product and card list due to hedge the risk.


My biggest concern continues to be MH2 "Original Border Fetchlands" will be only be available in the Collector boxes as a "Foil". Anotherwards, certain versions of cards will be locked into the most expensive item only.


Also...this is NOT a standard box release and box prices are the highest i have ever seen. 


My instinct is we are going to see some shadiness on supply when it comes to the Collector boxes after release. 

I expect an exact replica of Commander Legends Collector Boxes pricing.



If you are wanting to lock in prices/pre-orders early, pick a reputable store, but be aware, if the price spikes hard, your at risk. If the price tanks, your at risk.


BUT i can tell you, i am making arrangements to pay distributors OVER ASKING price to increase allocation for the patrons.

I am risking a LOT of money on this release and commited to $1mil+ in agreements.


I will be offering the:

- Modern Horizons 2 Set boxes

- Modern Horizons 2 Draft Boxes

- Modern Horizons 2 Collector Boxes


I will NOT be offering the:

- Modern Horizons 2 Prerelease kits

- Modern Horizons 2 Fatpacks/Bundles


Modern Horizon 2 Items will go on sale 7 days before release and will be warned with 24 hours notices. Sorry i dont have any pricing or quantity info at this time.


~ FUTURE TIMELINE of 2021~

- Monarch Unlimited / Blitz Deck promotion

- WTR / ARC / CRU unlimited restocks

- FaB Kingdoms

- FaB - 2 year anniversary Halloween Event

- Modern Horizons 2 launch

As you can see....the collectible world is insane in 2021....this is why i havent been able to run any out of print or older sales all year. I dont expect this to change until 2022.

Is the playmat in the box of 4 boosters?

Teejay726

Just got mine! I got the non-angel playmat. Anyone in Southern California want to meet up and trade?

I got the other one. I'm down for a trade.

Sad i couldn’t get in on Rudy’s Kit deal... But, i did secure two boxes and 3 promo cards for $835 out the door.

I got my kit delivered today! Ended up with the Angel playmat. Anyone want to trade?

Eric Tracy-Cohen

Mine finally got scanned eta tomorrow.

Russ Stilter

Back of the box.

Mine hasn't updated yet either. Still waiting on the package. :(

Same here no tracking number yet :/

Juan Vargas

Rewriting old message. I’ve got a tracking number but it’s not useful. Just says that my package is “ Your package is on its way to a USPS facility.” I’m hopeing that it’s just not scanned yet. On a side note, the mobile messaging system is garbage. Deleted a message attempting to edit.

Russ Stilter

Anyones tracking information still not updated from awaiting for package from shipper. I figure it is related to what Rudy talked about above but USPS has been messing up stuff for me lately so I just wanted to know if I was alone haha

kyle hagan

Got my boxes. I'm wondering: where on the box does it denote that this is the first edition?

Andy Modell

likewise, kinda on edge of selling the cold foil Phantasmal Footsteps i got out of one mine. Haven't opened the other yet.

So I opened a cold foil galaxxi black and a cold foil luminaris. Should I hold em or sell em and snag more 1st edition boxes and keep em sealed? I'm pretty unfamiliar with how well the cold foils age. Thanks in advanced!

Austin Tippen

Please return the box for a refund :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

How many others pulled the fabled from their Rudy box? I pulled the library from the first pack of the first box. 100% no joke. First Fabled I’ve ever pulled.

Jordan B.

I still haven't gotten a tracking number either

Have a lot of people already recieved their product? I am still waiting on tracking numbers and would like to know if anybody else is waiting for the monarch 1st edition package.

I got a dark playmat. If anyone wants to trade their light playmat for it with me, my email is ryainn123@gmail.com. I'm in NY state if that matters.

Fabien

pulled a Doomsday Legendary Cold Foil on my first Monarch box. This set is great, the art, card quality, everything!

The real reason Rudy is always going to the bathroom is because that's where all the pokemon is!😂😂

Jakestaz

Yep that's for sure. Pika pika!

Jakestaz

Agreed, like to get in on it. Guessing even at 1 box this will be HIGH buy in. Please do qty.1 Thanks Rudy!

That might happen to me as well. Got no tracking number yet lol.

Joanacris Marie Ballesta

Excited to receive my monarch box. Still no message from Rudy. I know you are just busy will wait til Monday. 😇

Joanacris Marie Ballesta

Hopefully we'll be able to order more than 2 Chilling Reign boxes. It is going to be one hell of a set

I have a complaint. I got home today and my box was sitting in the rain. Rudy really should have checked the weather before shipping this. Kidding of course. Luckily caught it before the rain soaked inside.

NOLA0977

crazy future timeline list. Also thank you for the tracking number advice.

metazoo :-)

Philip Chiu

He posted where the card would be and said don’t just throw it across the table. Well something like that

I received my package prior to this post and PMed Rudy to suggest that he warn others. I put my box on table and cut it open while standing. Removed play mat. Held it by the edge and let it unfold open to look at it as I would any other play mat, which sent the card inside hurtling toward the floor. I only noticed because of the loud bouncing noise it made. Even without a top loader, anything better than a soft sleeve would have been appreciated for additional protection. My Ursur has a ~1cm crease along the top edge. It might have been like that out of the gates, but it also might have happened in shipment or (most likely) the bounce. I am a Chalupa, but I don't think I handled the playmat in a reckless way and I don't know how I could have reasonably guessed that the cold foil would be both inside of it and unshielded.

Justin Honold

update: got it and everything inside was in perfect condition even though the outside of the box looks like a dog chewed on it XD

Pretty fast. Mine still no scan and I’m in CA.

I just got my kit all the way across the country in WA State, arrived in great condition, much faster than I expected, hope you all get yours soon and in good shape too.

scififanman

My kit only got updated that it left Jacksonville this morning. I'm guessing they're just running behind on sending stuff out.

Just got my Monarch kit :P

Peter Hauge

My packages from you regularly don't get scanned until they are delivered. But they always get here. It is like an extra gamble, to see if today is the magical day 🤣

I did that on the first MH, got I think a case and a half at release from Rudy, but then got stung a little when the price tanked and he sold more boxes later. Wasn't to worried though it was my only big play and prices have gone back up to over what I paid. Im just glad War is doing as well as it is. I think Ravnica is doing well as well.

Got my kit today

Brandon Nolte

Glad to hear you're doing Weiss set launches, wasn't for sure.

Leon Andrews III

Hoping mine, like others just shows up soon. Right now the tracking just states awaiting pickup.

Casey Kelley

Just received my shipment yesterday! Thanks Rudy for the incredibly fast shipping!

Too bad I won't be able to buy any MH2 from you (non-US resident) without having to struggle with middle person constructions. Oh well. :(

DarkElder

Got my boxes today! The boxes are so beautiful that they're gonna sit unopened on my shelf forever. The promo is going to be sitting in my binder next to my revised duals, and the dark playmat as a kitchen table cloth, nice!

Mason McCann

Going to load up on MH2

Sooooo hyped for that Metazoo!!! Custom card gonna be heat !!

I actually got my monarch box from you today! At least that's what the tracking number says haven't checked the mail yet lol

Cardboard worth more than gold in some cases (pun intended)...crypto going to the moon...what a freaking time to enjoy tacos and laugh at Timmy's.

Pokémon and MetaZoo tooooo? 😱😱 Thanks Rudy!

Carolina Flores

Exciting stuff! Glad to be a part of it.

Freydohh

My tracking has no update. Still not scanned in 😩

Wizards is pricing the average player right out of magic =(

Ken Kugelman

Rudy please make MH2 collectors, set, and draft available to purchase by qty of 1. We are already getting price gouged by wotc. Being forced to buy in 2s, 3s, or more quantities will price me and perhaps a lot of us out. I know its more work for you but this already a premium high dollar item. Not all of us are ballers

Damn, Rudy! Do you even sleep You're going to need an employee soon to keep up with the insane amount of product forecasted for 2021.

Awesome update Rudy, like always. So much excitement for the rest of 2021!

Jim Volin

wooohoo Xmas coming early in July :-) Thanks Rudy for investing in MH2. Looking forward to all sets as well. I'm tempted to buy more MH1 still.

Philip Chiu

I put my playmat directly into the washing machine to get the covid off it. Should be extra shiny!

Jason Boillot

yeah cant check tracking without number lol

directions unclear, yeeted the playmat :(

Jonathan Morris

All aboard the Flesh And Blood Train. CHOO CHOOO

Gregory Price

They did confirm. It's going to drop this summer a month or two after monarch unlimited I think

Got my monarch kit. Never got any tracking at all. Lol

To late 🙄

michael j

As always, appreciate the updates in news and releases.

Do NOT yeet the Chalupa!

It's the next Flesh and Blood set coming out later this year.

What is FaB Kingdom? A quick google search gave me no results.

Rivers

Lol I will have to sell some older fab stuff to afford boxes of kingdoms.

michael j

Should we preorder fab kingdoms now lol?

Paul Tufis

I just hope I don't fall asleep again an hr before sales open like on Saturday ..... And open my eyes to see orders sold out

Yea mine still shows awaiting pick up. Been watching it

This list of what is to come may be the most exciting rundown of collectibles I habe read in my lifetime. Well done, sir!

Josh Christiansen

Lets do this.....

Gabriel Mortensen

DONT BE A CHALUPA TIMMY!!!

Jesus Gutierrez

Thx for the update Rudy. I appreciate you keeping us in the loop!

I’m always in Rudes... count on me for MH2

Chad

Instructions unclear, ate playmat thinking it was a chalupa :D

Fasty

that special date was moved to the 2 year anniversary of FaB per LSS's reco.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I recently had a box with USPS signature required and the delivery lady on the route for my house did knock stood back on the yard about 8 ft from the door and basically what she did was ask for a name and then marked it off. So they are sort of, depending on the person it seems. Also so much product in the works, I look forward to deciding on what to buy. 🥺

Jalena W

My alarm for June 11 is ready, but I don't recall why Rudy said it was SO important. Does anybody remember why June 11 is big? It was in some thread that I can't locate at the moment.

Andrew Schulz

Sorry until the "toploader Shortage" ends and i can go back to actually ordering those items. I dont have any nor do distributors in large numbers :-(

Rudy The Magic Guy

Keep the tacos flowing! What a time to be alive! I'm gonna be so broke

Will you be doing any Monarch 1st edition box openings you think?

Scott Pysher

Has LSS set a date for UNL CRU boxes, or is it still speculation that they may do it this year? Cause I imagine they would hate to miss an opportunity to print an unlimited version of CRU and rake in those sales.

Nicholas Speakman

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RUDY 🌮

Erod

Where do we even see our tracking?

Oh man, I want MH2 real bad

Michael Martin

Slap my chalupa and call me a top loader boy. Pleaseeee send the cold foil promos in top loaders. We trying to grade these things homie!

WOOOOHOOOOOO! My first trip to the thunder dome.

I got my package today big guy, thank you!

Scott Pysher

🌮

Jonathan Bruner

To the moon !

Mine has already arrived, thank you Taco King and family!

Ben Magiera

I’m in Rudy

Coldest1

Got my package today! No updates or scans, not complaining!

MH2 is gonna be a banger! Can't wait.
