Masters Boxes Return

TO help prevent a taco panic of excitement


Yes this is real


 https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/announcing-double-masters-2020-05-21 


As long as it is NOT a WPN exclusive for tournament stores only, i will carry the product.


It will be offered to patrons as a limit 1 per account. If supply is higher i will do Limit 2 per account max to ensure a calm sale lol.


While paper prices have not been fully revealed yet, i expect Ultimate masters style price points. It will NOT be cheap.


The "VIP BOXES" also known as the "super mega special collectors" boxes for this product have no additional information or pricing yet.

I'll definitely be waiting. Since it was on Amazon for sale. I'm guessing or hoping that WoTC will print more...I mean they will make a ton of $$$$ the more they sell.

Philip Chiu

Rudy glad you are offering these for everyone to have a chance to get one. All sales should be like this. When it’s first come first serve by the time I get the chance to come on it’s sold out because all the Timmies already bought everything. So frustrating.

Marcin Biernat

But will it have a lighthouse?

Jeremy Kennedy

sure could use a c20 set waiting on that sale from rudy

ronald a zecca

amazon has them on pre order for 299 honestly i think that is going to be a very good price and very likely since its amazon and not a private seller that they will honor it even if it goes way up

ronald a zecca

A little more than $295..............

This is going to be my first box from Rudy if he gets them, hopefully not 45 sec to gone.

Eric Covell

Do you see any way that they could be doing both? Both are obviously possible, and they are definitely leaning into profit more than a 50/50 split... But tell me there is hope.... CAN THEY'RE BE VISION STILL??!! I'm hanging by a thread

Matthew James

Not saying you can or cannot but, In my experience, Amazon gives a tentative return date depending on the product. Example, I bought a computer part and was able to return it, open box, within two weeks. I had a return on a piece of clothing, they gave me a month. Both were prime, fulfilled by amazon. Thing is, how long will it take for something like this show real value? I am assuming, since it is around 40-50% more expensive than a collectors box, but double the packs, the crowd that is now only buying collectors boxes may like this. As for flipping singles.... who knows.

With Amazon as a vendor why can't people order a lot of boxes and then return it if the price tanks?

Masters double sounds dumb. End of June - core set 2021 July - jumpstart August- new masters set ....... I’m going to go bankrupt More importantly....... Flesh and Blood updates coming soon??????

Well, pretending to be a carrot payed off.

That may explain why there were two Arcane Maelstroms and no Symbiotic swarm of the 5 C2020 decks at my local Wally-World.

Steven M.

Anyone hearing about commander 20 sets having duplicate decks in them? I’ve heard of 5 cases so far where people didn’t get all 5 they got 4 and 1 duplicate.

Fuking for real 300? Wizards is seeing if the market will bear. I hope this shit tanks just to teach them a lesson to stop trying to suck people dry. This really sickens me.

Gold

Unemployment give timmies more money to spend on a weekly basis

Allen Le

Selling from $70-100 on eBay sold listings for the last few months

Will B

$300ish

Will B

Up on Amazon now for pre-order at $299.99. I guess Double Masters is double the price too!

MTG Unpacked

Coming this winter from Wizards "Oops! All Masters!" (still no fetchlands though)

The Killer GM

Next we'll have Triple Masters, then Quad BGS 9.5+ Masters, then...

William

The biggest thing that bothers me is not all the product. It's that it seems they dont seem to have a long term vision for mtg. It seems like they just wanna milk for cash and see where it leads. Maybe I'm wrong

I would like to hear Rudy's thoughts on what seems to be the official transition into box toppers in everything and alt art this and that's and premium versions. Everyone else's thoughts too for that matter. Of course I would agree with the corporate point of view that Timmy's will pay the prices so why not make it. I guess I would be curious how alternate arts of older reprints now may change box prices if those chase cards are no longer desired in the older sets now. I mean if people want the alt art version of Blightsteel why buy mirrordin besieged. Etc. I think that would be an ih interesting topic. I'm sure there is a long history of box prices going up no matter what, but this is a new variable if there are going to be new flashy arts of older cards. Yo quiero Taco Bell

I agree, it has nothing to do with the money it’s more that they keep cramming more shit down our throats and most will buy it because they like it or don’t want to miss out. It sucks that boxes get to that price point because of that creepy asshole Rudy (no hate I still love the dude) but if it wasn’t him it would’ve been and still is being affected by others as well, they just stay quiet about it while Rudy chooses to entertain and inform which I like. Hopefully by the time it’s released people will be too broke and it’ll be a garbage fire lolz.

Gold

Too much expensive product =(

Ken Kugelman

Oof first collectors now this. Man what to do

Gold

Too much too fast!!!! Someone pump the brakes u can’t keep up!!!! Ps flesh and blood in June woot woot!!!!!!

Ben Magiera

Well, slap me upside the face with Ruby's Goldfish, I'm ready to be hosed!

Neil Eldridge

$600-$800 for an uncommon sorta error Godzilla card too.

Christopher

I think they just had this waiting in reserve. I bet they didn’t make that much money from Ikoria and theros because of the covid19. With lgss having to shut down and people losing their jobs. So this is probably a contingency plan if things go bust for a quarter like now and they still have to pay papa hasbors share holders.

Christopher

Go ahead and get enough for max 2 per Patron Rudy! I will go ahead and send my money! KEKW

WOTC just confirmed in their stream this is not WPN exclusive and will be sold at Target, Walmart, etc

Mat McDonough

He can be taught! :P

Twice the rares and foils basically means half the value.

Apologies for the typos*

While it seems like a cool product with some new artwork does anyone else feel that prices for new products are just getting a little out oh hand? I get why older boxes are expensive because of supply and demand. To me personally I rather own the original printing of a card from an old set than a reprint frim a new set. Just seems that with mtg and even sports cards boxes going for $1000+ its taking just a little bit of the fun out of it. Money isn't the issue and I understand WOTC is a business not knocking them at all and not knocking anyone who buys the product I will be buying a couple from some creepy dude but just something rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I'm wrong but I think there's something there.

Wow, I really wish they would've announced this a week ago before I dumped a few grand on UMA cases...

Is there a community forum other than just the comment section in PayPal? I like talking to other patrons as well. I am wondering if 69.99 + 9.99 shipping is worth it for From The Vault: Angels ?

I also have to say that it is confusing to me that wotc is pumping out so much expensive product during times of extreme unemployment globally. The stimulus cash, for what it was worth, inflated the numbers of people who bought into ikoria. I dont see that continuing.

Holy forking shirtballs!

Selesnyan Envoy

Here's hoping for the Desolate Lighthouse lol

Jeffrey Ho

No fetches.

Jeffrey Ho

ill order one just because it sounds interesting. but i dont know how i feel about it yet though.

Sangmin Lee

I hope they put old many Rudy at the top of the lighthouse in it.

scatt

Inb4 the double lavaclaw reach around.

I'm down for some boxes. But these collectors sets are really hurting my bottom line.

Daniel Shipley

Ouch right in the pocket book.

Jerry Ogren

Hmm...definitely interested to see how this plays out. 332 card set. I believe that's roughly 80-100 more cards than a normal masters set? Hopefully most of the added cards are in the rare/mythic slot or this could hurt singles value. Sealed box value should be solid long term either way especially with 2 box toppers and Alt Art.

Derek

Oooh I’m excited for this!!!

Jonathan Yee

Old master sets had msrp of $240, with price increase and no msrp I would assume double masters would be $300+ putting their VIP at $500-600 for 12 packs, holy crap, that will be most expensive booster box ever sold at retail. They picked the wrong year to put these out considering world issues and the amount of product they have already pumped out this year. Hasbro is money hungry and as much as I love magic this is getting ridiculous.

Edwin

Lily alt art pls rudyGasm

Jonathan Morris

sold!

Aug 7 release and has list of what is in it

anyone else wagering on a 45 second sell out?

So outside of standard sets, the normal is now the number of packs in a booster reduced to 24 and the price of the box doubled? 👏 Hook, line and sinker.

I'll more than likely pass on this...

might pull the trigger on this one

So we can expect $30 for a regular pack $60 for the ridiculous luxury pack and $600 a box and $1200 for the luxury packs? Since they like the doubling theme that's about right

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!

Jeffrey Ho

To much product is being pumped down our throats. Is that a giggity ?

Is the EV good enough to buy to flip singles? If so I'm in

keikun332

how much was that?

Should I just have my employer direct deposit my paychecks to your account instead of mine from now on?....GET THE BOBS!

Michael Davis

It will probably be priced near the Modern Horizons price. I hope.

scatt

This seems like something the Bob's would think up. Bob1: "Hey guys we need to increase our profits. Any ideas?" Bob2: "Hey how about we release a new Masters set?" Bob3: "Great idea, but how about this time we put double of everything in it and call it DOUBLE MASTERS!" Everyone: "Oh hahaha the Timmys will eat this up!" (laughter) I am still buying one. Damn you Bob.

NACHO FRIES ARE BACK AT RUDY'S TACO EMPORIUM!!!

DuGiOh

Splinter twin is getting unbanned and will be a box topper. Calling it now. Lol

Steven Vander Hoek

I don’t care! I’m a Timmy for REPRINTS!! Give me 5000 more versions of Evolving Wilds PLEASE!!!

Whats thats saying oh shut up and take my money

Gonna have to start selling essential oils or something to keep up

BulgogiKing

Rudy wears pants?

Another way to say this is "great for players (affordable singles) great for investors/collectors (sealed product will rise quickly after the first few months most likely). Win-win.

Confirmed full art blightsteel Colossus and Atraxa

So Excited!!!

Can someone fill me in on what Rudy is guesstimating the cost? I don't know what ultimate masters cost on release

KnightofDurin

They don't do products from one day to day, this must be on their books since at least one year and should be going to start the printing or it already started so, is like governments printing money in for of magic cards...

Yoyigo Tintor

THANK YOU RUDY, my buddies and I are already losing our minds. Glad to know you are already on the ball.

Aaron Paolozzi

double tacos!

I swear if it's Jace TMS, snappy, Lilly, tarmy and cavern of souls AGAIN... I'll have to buy it again 😂

fetch lands will not be in standard product, but most likely a specialty product.

Just take my money...take it! Take it all!!!

Dylan Hilliard

I'm in!

WINDELL F COOPER

I want this even more than the last thing I really wanted

That doubling season alter art tho.....

Jacob Floth

I have a good paying job and now I’m considering to pick up a second job to just pay for all these new products every month.

Philip Aldrich

Mark Rosewater as rodeo clown

There are uh, 2 announcements. Because it’s double. Ha. I’m not longer buying anymore Ikoria so I can be sure to buy some boxes of this and get a few singles of what I want to play with as well. The comic art blightsteel looks amazing!

like they acknowledged fetch lands is coming reprint again, that means either Core 2021 or the fall expansion

Sizzle.

There goes the value of my doubling season... and several other unannounced cards.

This press release means only one thing...DO MOT STAY THE COURSE. ABORT! SELL SELL SELL!

WOTC 2018: Ultimate masters is the last master's set WOTC 2020: DOUBLE MASTERS!!!!

Wow! So friendly fetch lands?

Jeremy Kennedy

Oh wow, I might have to hop on this train!!

For the price each VIP box better be delivered by a stripper dressed like a proctologist

How is this going to fit in with Commander Legends, jump-start, 2021, and Zendikar Rising? And also trying to get people to buy from LGS with the mechagodzilla buy-a-box incentive in June. I swear I've missed another release in there. The wallet is so fatigued.

Magic is overwhelming me. So many products...

If this doesn't scream legacy and commander reprints I don't know what does.... With that being said, looking forward to it

Guys (and Rudy) ... Where does ist say that this is going to be a print product? I can only see the German version of the site and it says: '[...] will be available for 6.99 in Magic Online' No word about any physical product.

Yeah but Doubling season was in Battlebond as well and only saw a temporary dip.

Eve Mizgala

Really omg we just had the damn mystery booster boxes can't those settle before another masters set arrives? Holy crap

I wonder if they added the “no fetch land statement “ for the benefit of the alpha investment community as releasing fetch lands was a speculation here since WAR was announced

The VIP boxes are hidden in the bulls taco exit hole

Guac me up and show me some taco love with a VIP splooge on the side. Wotc promoting more comic book art along with their traditional art. I miss Richard Kane Ferguson.

I'm fully expecting on the stream later today that a rodeo clown will come out to herd the rodeo bull that has the preview cards tied to its horns

I have a feeling there will be nothing calm about the double explosion mega 10x super set!!! These announcements remind me of the monster truck rally commercials.

Best bang since the big one!

Wotc is a clown show

This is awesome!

I feel the same, I came back to magic for throne, already sick of it, my wallet it sick of it, buying older products and singles only from now on until a real amazing set comes out.

I guess the only good thing about collector's boosters and VIP edition is it suppresses the prices of the "normal" box making magic somewhat affordable? ya? man, i can't wait for hoarders 2030 edition where someone has to remove the sealed boxes of magic draft boxes from their house because it is unsafe. lol.

Cool

PANIC

Is it me or is Wizards going a little bit crazy on printing new products? Seems like everything has an alternate art/extended border these days. Makes what was special not really that special anymore.

Double the tacos!

Keep printing! Drop reserve list and print Wizards Remastered Reserved masters box.

Firecrest

Rudy's PayPal account is still in the ICU and then this gets announced, lol.

I want a couple super mega ultra giga VIP taco version please.

Rudy "It will be offered to patrons as a limit 1 per account. If supply is higher i will do Limit 2 per account max to ensure a calm sale lol" Me: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...

Yoyigo Tintor

Double rainbows

Looks like fun!

Thanks for the heads up Rudy!

This will be my first Masters purchase. #MastersViginHere

Scott Pysher

Double master has double announcements. Very on brand.

Kyoji Takenouchi

I’ll take 5

Christopher Horton

terrible sign for single prices, great for sign for sealed product...ever closer to baseball cards

Llanowar Shelves

And we thought Ikoria was bad.

First reaction, really? Another, nother, nother reprint. Collector Masters Box with super duper extra foily reprints.

Looking forward to Rudy opening 4 mythics in one pack and then promptly pausing the video to change his pants

This is getting ridiculous. Not you, Rudy. You are great.

Robert Magee

Looking forward to it. Didn’t the announcement have it at 6.99 per pack on MTGO?

Adam Laufenberg

This will definitely be my first purchase from you! Totally worth it #cardgasm

When will the specialty, vip, collectors, not for everyone BS stop??

my wallet is already hurting

Sell all the staples now because doubling season and Blightsteel Colossus are already going to be in it

Hot damn

Hype. But there’s the king rudy playmats my guy?

Thomas J Lennex

Christopher Walsh
