48 HOUR NOTICE - PLEASE READ

Somehow made it into the Alpha Investments fallout shelter and am glad to have safety from standard inflation and taco haters. Can't wait to see what's on the menu 😁

Members only baby... gonna wear Magic Guy jackets.

i love to watch the videos, but i wasnt planning on joining... till he said something about maybe bringing back FFtcg... now here i am

No minute like the last minute I suppose. I got back in about 18 months ago after finding my old collection cleaning mom's house out. My kids play now.

James Kutkowski

Ok fine, I joined. Where's the coffee and donuts?

Guess I am committed now, please guide me out of my ignorance and into competence in box buying. Tell me when the time too sell the boxes or warn me when it's time to crack and sell the singles.

I made it.

Been watching the videos for a couple of years. Finally decided to be a patron on the last day

I'm new to Magic, just been playing a few months. But I've really enjoyed your YT videos, box openings, sense of humor and the way you express yourself and your thoughts on the MTG world. Guess I'm in for the taco train. :D

NO idea why I signed up for this. But here i am.

If you don't have a paypal account, first make one. You will then need to select "send money" and "goods/services" Rudy's paypal address is AlphainvestmentsLLC@gmail.com

Rudy, I'm happy with the words your preaching of tacos and their sloppiness. Seriously, I'm glad to read, write and support businessmen like your self. This statement you're making is one I believe in.

Hey Rudy. Very long time watcher of your channel here. Decided to finally take the jump and join your patreon. Love your stuff man, keep it up!

@andrew love the Billy Ripkin FF Avatar. Iconic!

BrewCrew75

Yep, I'd move to the $20 tier in a heartbeat

sorry no sir, everything is sold out

Rudy The Magic Guy

Your fine Jesse, your account is open and clear :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Robert, i dont think your problem is experienced by 99% of everyone, since most people sign up put a payment method and file and let it ride

Rudy The Magic Guy

this is a great message and carries a lot of truth to it. I will stand the test of time :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

you will get a tracking email within 72 hours :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

Placed my first order yesterday. Whats the average ship time for standard boxes? Thanks!

This whole world situation has reminded me how unpredictable life can be. Investments to ensure when times like these occur we aren’t devastated financially are important but, Rudy, I hope you have a tight knit support system so you can continue prospering and helping us do the same. If you can’t take on the weight world by yourself, you might be surprised to find a few good people who will let you mold them and take that weight on with you! Some of the best investments in a business are those we take under our wing. Hope you all are staying safe and sound.

Darn it... i pledged last month for the first time and don't like recurring payments. Today i tried to repledge (a few days early) and Patreon errors out because I'm ALREADY pledging. Anyone else have this problem and know how to setup a pledge prior to the new month?

Robert Sutphin

I'm not "active" yet but please don't close my account! I will be active soon.

Can I upgrade my tier ? Lol

I paused on buying boxes, for the time being. Actually I haven't bought any in a couple months and wont be for the time being with the situation of the world as it is, but still a supporter. Need to do the smart thing and build up my savings some more and dropping a couple hundred on MTG boxes a month not the best way to do it lol hard to get a ROI if I have to emergency dump boxes.

Glad I finally pulled the trigger on got on board!

Jeremy Kennedy

Hi Brandon. Yes, the fee you paid is for March. Then you will pay your April subscription fee at the beginning of the month (of April). You can order your March tier allocation (only during the month of March). You will get your new tier allocation at the start of every month. So you have until the 31st to use your March tier allocation or it goes away.

Are we getting charged the fee now and the fee again in two days? Thinking that's how it will work, but didn't want to risk being locked out of joining up over potentially "throwing away" the fee for march since I've only just joined today (3/29). I guess I could always order some magic at the nice discount to make up the difference?

The way I see, I could easily lose $15 a month to my couch...might as well pay rudy and be a part of this mayhem...I'm married so the sub 4% of women is of no consequence 😄😄

Looking forward to buying a box from ya, love the videos happy to support ya.

Yes, thanks Rudy you are the best

Jonathan S

It's been a few years. Gonna be tough in the near future - probably won't place any orders right away - but I want to have the ability to order later.

Long time watcher/subscriber, first time patreonian (? Yea that sounds right, lol). I literally signed up hours before this announcement. Glad I did! You the man Rudy! Stay safe on the 43rd floor of your parents’ basement.

Christopher Walsh

I resubscribed as a patron after your announcement. you give very good financial advice, among other things entertaining, and i want to support that. keep it real Rudy!!!

Welcome to the thundertome of cardboard Richard!

Rudy The Magic Guy

I don’t think he meant it like that, just that it was indefinitely closed to new patrons.

you can send me a private message and i can get you some price quotes, remember the older stuff is priced more at market pricing, no special Rudy pricing. The key is to get in early on this stuff

Rudy The Magic Guy

appreciate it guys!

Rudy The Magic Guy

it has been confirmed if you eat 55 tacos in 1 day, you do risk death

Rudy The Magic Guy

Well played Eric

Rudy The Magic Guy

Welcome william!

Rudy The Magic Guy

hahaha

Rudy The Magic Guy

hahaha thats an impressive shadylocalevil invetor connection you have. I appreciate the message, i do the best i can to have open discussions about the market swings and the news. Sometimes i screw up, but i try to stay the line as much as possible. I have considered that with the $5 tier, but that is not something i can add to the inventory management

Rudy The Magic Guy

yep, no worries, even if you hav a declined payment, you have a couple weeks to fixe it

Rudy The Magic Guy

yea there is a spike...but its not like im getting hundreds or thousands of people. If i cant keep up with the messages, it becomes risky for me

Rudy The Magic Guy

being closed at the end of the month across the board. I have to be able to keep up with the messages

Rudy The Magic Guy

i appreicate it man, weird times we are living through

Rudy The Magic Guy

lol yea it is what it is

Rudy The Magic Guy

yea, it is what it is, i have to be able to keep up with messages and inventory

Rudy The Magic Guy

welcome sir, weird times we are living in

Rudy The Magic Guy

I was on the fence and have been for months but finally decided to take the plunge. I've been watching Rudy for quite awhile. I'm looking forward to buying some boxes in the future.

Rudy, the you can never join back up clause is pretty harsh. What about those of us who just lost jobs and might have to stop supporting for a while? Are you saying that we cant ever get back in if we leave even if you open it back up in a year?

Look for the post titled with the “month name update” it explains what is avail for this month.

Jonathan Morris

Hey Rudy I got a few questions..first : are you still selling ultimate master's? Second : how much would it be to get a box of ultimate master's,throne of eldrain collectors box and theros beyond death collectors box all opened in one mega thunderdome video Timmy special?...ok that's two questions lol but i stand by it...STAY THE COURSE! WEATHER THE STORM! ROLL WITH THE WAVES

Now that I am here, where is the info on how to order boxes and what is available to order?

One of us, one of us, ONE OF US!!

STAY THE COURSE!!.....and of course, play Magic the Guthering while wearing Taco hats. Thanks for all the great content and Patreon access.

My gf and i are both subscribed and we love watching you

Stay the taco!!

Locked into my 1 dollar a month early bird Timmy level 4 life

Punlive

Greetings Rudy... you convinced me to sign up for your $15 tier. Stay the course!!!!

Gerald Tarrant

There is a circle and then there is a circle outside of that circle, thank god I’m in that inner circle!

William Whiteman

Dear Rudy: I am a Timmy who has been watching you for several years, and never thought to do the buy a box patreon level because I have my own backdoor-shady-local evil investors and local stores who sometimes offer similarly competitive prices (along with the nice feel good feelings of doing my part to at least prop open the doors of an LGS) In general what's really always drawn me in further beyond the floppy tacos and beautiful 3%, has been your keen insight and willingness to discuss finances, which has helped spur me to try and become more financially literate, and I hope to someday share the fruits of that literacy with you. Yes, I'm that creepy guy lurking around the corner who watches most videos all the way to the end Also please draw a floppy taco on my signed land :^) (Also once all of us $5 dollar Timmies are locked in, maybe consider letting us have access to one or two products a year as a lightly pro-rated type of purchase to make up for the fact we don't contribute the same as the $20 big boys, just a thought if no one else has ever suggested it)

Rudy please make sure I am still in, I know I had to change my credit card number so just want to be sure.

Vilishkumar Patel

Personally was brilliant and probably will see the most patreon signups ever over the next couple of days.

Welcome to the hive!! Lol

Jonathan Morris

What about $5 tiers?

Robert Sutphin

All that for a drop of blood.

Aaron

I am new here but have been watching all your videos since 2017

Yeah i saw the video and had to get on that wagon. Been walking behind it too long

Ive been putting off becoming a member because i rarely have the money to buy boxes but with your notice on youtube I knew if I ever wanted to or have the option to I'd better join now and a tier that gave me access to Rudy. Don't worry I won't talk your ear off all the time, just here for the party while the world is ending.

Stay the course and thanks for all you do.

Same here Michael.

I did the same thing lol.

Not gonna lie, saw the video and was like YEET, time to stop procrastinating.

Michael Sturbaum

Glad to have you aboard with us. Stay The Course :)

"I'm here"

Glad I been signed up

Hiya Rudy, just got my $15 tier. Way to take advantage of a pandemic, ya evil taco eating mad man. Love your youtube content and look forward to getting some product from you soon.

Nicholas Intersimone

Happy to help the channel

Damn it take my $15 and hand over my boxes good sir!

Dammit Rudy, ya forced my hand. Here, take my $15 a month!

Woot, glad to be here.

Welp Rudy, you got me. I was on the fence, but that video pushed me over edge. I jumped into it because i support what you do and when you said you would be closing it for anyone not signed up I had to make the leap of faith. Don't worry I'll stay the course.

wintoch

So glad I signed up

I was debating signing up but, given the situation in the world for the foreseeable future, I felt it was the only call possible. Thank you, Rudy, for all that you do for your fans!

I was gonna sign up anyway but the video put a boot to my ass to become a patron. Thank you for the great content and continue to do so!

Brian Wilson

As others have mentioned about the topic....I think giving the opportunity to current loyal Patrons at lower tiers the ability to upgrade to a higher tier has no impact on you Rudy in terms of message flow, we already have the ability to message you. You aren't adding any new Patrons, just current Patrons at higher tiers. Me personally would definitely consider doing this if the opportunity would present itself. I am going to be in a position to be able to buy more boxes so moving from 1-6 a month under the $15 tier to $20 and 1-12 Booster Boxes would be great. Something to consider since you are closing up shop for new Patrons, give us who have been Patrons for quite a while a final shot to upgrade if we wanted. Seems like the demand is there, the market speaks :)

Rudy thank you for everything you do and staying true to the Patreons you've already got

Dana Gellately

Will we still be able to move up tier's or does that need to be done within 48 hours also?

Rudy and his deals are worth every cent of my 15$ especially since I got the raise I need to buy some boxes and not worry about going to pound town

Sean Fallon

As a manager at taco bell, I can honestly say, I agree with "eat a taco"

Jason Woodard

STAY THE COURSE...eat a taco.

Keep up Rudy! The North will remember! As an evil frenchman accountant from the north, I love your stuff! Keep up and stay true to who you are Rudy! Stay safe!

Guillaume Cléroux

I appreciate as an almost 2 year patron your content and honesty. Keep it up. I haven't bought in awhile but I really enjoy your content please stay the course but do what you need to to stay afloat. Well wishes for you and your family.

Solid

BennyMcSeoul

i'm with u. i wish i cud occasionally buy at 5 for full amazon watever price, but i guess that extra shipping n watnot just isn't worth it for rudy. alls good thou. i just like supporting the utube content.

p-a-pi

I think we need a $50 slot to round things out.

Remember current patrons, Stay The Course! Roadmap to success and tacos.

David Stowe

So glad I was fortunate to find before you closed! Personally you definitely gotta take care of you first so you can have ability to take care of others just shows another example if responsible man and great example of mentor!

i plan on continuing my support, however if we ever have to change payment methods, how do we make sure we maintain our membership? the only way to do it right now is to leave and re-subscribe with a new card. I havent found a way to move the mebership onto a new payment method

kadinshino

Thank you for everything you do, from providing wonderful mtg content to everyday financial advice. I snuck in to support you when I could and I’m glad I am able to say, “I support Timmy’s Emporium!”

Good for you Rudy!

Januaryboy

Do what you have to do man.

Locked in a week ago! 🙌🏼

I've been a $10 Patron since Rudy opened his Patreon. So glad to be here for the ride since the beginning.

Dang, even Ruby is going on lockdown!

Prabal Singh

👍

lol Corey....honestly man a lot of people have questions on finance,credit cards,,,etc....in addition to mtg

Rudy The Magic Guy

I'm just at the $5 tier because I want to be able to talk to yoi, and I enjoy your content. I was at the 15 dollar level but I just wasn't taking advantage of it. I wish I could only sometimes buy product from you even at the $5 level and just pay what's actually fair to you for cost of business. Cheap magic is nice, but I don't ever feel like spending the amount of money to buy the quantities you sell your products at Rudy, I'd happily just buy one full set of the commander decks from you for fair price so you don't lose anything on shipping and fees. And if I gotta pay $100 for a booster box, if that's what is fsir, I'll pay it.

the $20 slot has been sold out for over a year....so the only way to get the $20 slot is to manuelly make your own $20 slot which does not carry any reward

Rudy The Magic Guy

Good on you man! Stay safe and stay the course!

I’m sorry you have to close up to new Patreons - you’re a popular guy! Wishing you the best as you navigate through these stressful times!

I clicked on the link, and TOTALLY agree!

I'm surprised you've been able to handle the massive workload for this long, so it's totally understandable. Stay the course!👍

MTG Unpacked

Dayum....glad I jumped on at my tier when I did. Hey Rudy. Good on you knowing your limits on what you can do time wise in your business.

Wow, normally I can figure out what Rudy is up to, but I can't figure this out just yet. Wtf are you messaging this dude about? Am I not messaging him enough? Do I just ramble about my day? What do?

Oh nvm it’s sold out hahaha BUt I support you!!!

Jonathan Morris

I’m also switching to $20 in support

Jonathan Morris

https://youtu.be/lF7M0FISH5Y ... I’M NOT LEAVING, THE SHOW GOES ON!!

Mat McDonough

Thank you Rudy!

Having the ability to send you a message privately within 2 days has been really cool. I’m glad you wish to keep that bro

Jonathan Morris

Just tried to switch to $20 tier. I think it went through?

NightTimeCollector

You have to be able to take care of yourself first and foremost. I can see you do a lot for your patrons but there should be limits in place for your own health and happiness. Appreciate all you do Rudy. Stay the course!

You do more then just advise on magic the gathering cards. Thanks for your example Rudy. Stay the course.

Go for it! You have 48 hours

Jonathan Morris

You do what you think is right for you. I’ll stay the course. I’m with ya till the end. Stay safe Rudy.

Happy to be here

I’m proud to be part of this family ❤️🇺🇸〽️🤣

Jonathan Morris

STAY THE COURSE

Thanks for everything you do Rudy!

Tacos will be forever lost

Can I lock into a higher tier? Lol want the $20 one if I can.

I have been very happy to be part of your group, and have been amazed at how quickly you respond to all questions or messages. Love you lots and hope everything goes well 😊

Nikki W

This is a surprise, but understandable. Nice to see someone willing to sacrifice potentially more money to make the experience better for everyone already involved.

Kevin Robinson

I think it’s a good call. Too much too fast can lead to more of a downturn when maintaining a small business. Managing the size of your business will allow you to remain genuine. Thanks for everything

Tacos are locked in, Im a new patron. I don't know much about magic but i just enjoy Rudy's videos. Maybe I'll buy something one day :)

I'll start the bidding at your crappy commander deck. Do I hear any bidders?!

Marcos Rivera (Jedi168)

Stay the course buddy. I'll never cancel my slot.

I'm glad I'm enjoying this wild ride!

I actually like this ! There isn’t enough exclusive things in general anymore. I vote to keep it this way! I hope you sell out your remaining openings. The discussions alone are well worth the 15 dollars I am paying for!

I budgeted in my Patreon fee for the year so I'm staying. :)

Grey Shirt Guy

Watch people trying to sell their patreon slot 😂

Gotta do what you gotta do buddy, be safe.

Stay the course!!! #paparudy

Wow do what you need Rudy and please be safe with your family- you’re still the best

Vince DeStefano, Sr

No more tacos.

Beaker

We’re in the endgame now.
