~ April 2019 Mid Month Update ~
Added 2019-04-12 01:23:52 +0000 UTCThe Eternal Masters & Modern Masters 2015 boxes are no longer available. All 150 2 packs have sold.
I was told today that Challenger 2019 decks will have 1 more restock NOT 2. I expect these in about 7-14 days. It appears that Wizards has reduced the print run this year compared to the 2018 larger print run. The final restock batch will be offered at the same price and you may purchase again if you purchased previously. Based on this information the 2019 deck set could outpace the original 2018 due to a smaller supply.
I STRONGLY encourage everyone to wait and stay calm with this war of the spark "hype" more people are "excited" for a set than i have seen in years. I think it will be very successful...and very AVAILABLE with a monster supply for 1.5 years. It will level out with an EV at 90-100 a box and stabilize. Sealed boxes will be offered 30-60 days after release.
Box opening signups will open a few days before release. I will probably setup about 30 of them and slowly release them every couple days over a couple month period. Cards will be mailed immediately after filming.
Hottest Sealed booster boxes remain Conspiracy/Battlebond/Dominaria. I now believe Battlebond/Conspiracy are going to heading to 300.00 a box within the next 24 months. This will be the fastest appreciating new sealed product in years. Beating Kaladesh and Khans. The demand remains high...and stores and distributors did NOT sit on any boxes creating a unique opportunity.
Reserved list cards appear to be starting to move up slowely again with A/B/U cards hitting new highs and revised dual lands starting to tick back up very slowely/quietly. I believe a nice slow upward trend is healthy and a good sign for the years coming.
I do believe right after Spoilers stop for war of the spark...all eyes will be on Modern Horizons...and i think the set is going to be extremly successful. I have reserved the most amount of boxes possible from every distributor in the country. I am hoping to offer the boxes between 189-199shipped. If i can actually get all 2,000 boxes i preordered, i can let patrons order up to a full case of 6 boxes. If not...then the limit will be reduced to 3 per account and higher tiers will get 6+
Modern Horizons will be offered and shipped on release day
Core set variety kit is on track for May1st
The 2nd LARGE Force of will Variety kit should be ready in May/June range. This will be the last FoW variety kit offered since demand has picked up for older FoW products
Commander 2019 will be offered at release day also

2019-04-17 14:59:38 +0000 UTCKenneth, welcome bro! Arena is no substitute for the real life engagement of paper play, but it sure is fun bro, and will help you improve your game play (experience). Not sure how Rudy handles shipping outside continental US but I have never seen it asked about in the last 4 months, so I believe it to be the same. Boss man...help needed here! 8)
2019-04-17 01:26:49 +0000 UTCSo I was here initially to invest.. but I downloaded mtg arena and... -_- Anyways, I live on Hawaii. Just paypal'd for a couple boxes for the first time. Does he ship to Hawaii? Am I supposed to get a notification in my email or something?
2019-04-17 00:44:04 +0000 UTCWecolme back Ashley! May I ask what you mean exactly?
2019-04-16 22:07:59 +0000 UTCHi Rudy, im back supporting your channel. Why should the content creators pay for what a hosting sight does. Look forward to more of your content. Cheers!
2019-04-16 14:04:28 +0000 UTCGeneral Consensus, any standard boxes are worth buying at $80. No boxes are dropping in value. Even if it's $10-$15 before the set rotates out you're already ahead. The more important bit, buy because you love magic and support Rudy. Cheap-ish magic is purely a perk in addition.
2019-04-16 13:45:55 +0000 UTCHI Guys, New patreon here love rudys channel. My question is are any of the current boxes on the monthly roll out (Allegiance, Guilds, Core) worth an investment at $79.99 to sit on at this point or is it best to wait that out and not purchase at this time. Thank you.
2019-04-16 02:34:47 +0000 UTCPlace order now $$ for 1 DISPLAY CASE CHALLENGER 2019?
2019-04-16 01:07:32 +0000 UTCI heard that..Stoked for MH1! I believe..it is gonna be GREAT! Make sure you store away (forever) a few boxes of war! 8)
2019-04-15 23:17:49 +0000 UTCI am definitely looking forward to Modern Horizon, by far one of the best investment sets to possibly be coming out in some time aside from Ultimate Masters. I would be very interested in a box or two from you Rudy! Especially would love to have you open them!
2019-04-15 18:42:50 +0000 UTCNot sure how often they are but they did a number on my wallet
2019-04-15 16:33:34 +0000 UTCI recieved a 10% off coupon and a no seller fee coupon (5 items) in the last 4 months...anyone been selling for a while and know about how often these occur?
2019-04-13 13:52:51 +0000 UTCI'm betting it does!
2019-04-12 22:05:48 +0000 UTCPersonally im doing the same thing, putting together competitive decks for friends new to magic and using the leftovers to fill out my play sets. I don't expect the value of the product to go up, just doing it for friends and some singles.
2019-04-12 21:53:42 +0000 UTCYes. Will never be that cheap again
2019-04-12 21:50:07 +0000 UTCThink dominaria is worth buying into a few boxes at 109? What do you predict for the box price and time frame?

2019-04-12 20:18:01 +0000 UTCcorrect...the original conspiracy a lot more people "invested" and held on to them...take the crown...no one held the sealed boxes...the public was very negative on that product
Rudy The Magic Guy
2019-04-12 20:17:42 +0000 UTCi currently do not...but if you want some at cheap prices, just send me a private message :-)
Rudy The Magic Guy
2019-04-12 20:16:40 +0000 UTCAbout that, maybe a little longer. He waits until WotC stops throttling the supply so he can have enough for everyone (things didn't go well when the throttling started and before he started delaying general sale).
2019-04-12 19:13:01 +0000 UTCSo we'll be able to buy war o the spark boxes about a month or so after release?
2019-04-12 17:19:44 +0000 UTCIs it both the Conspiracy boxes or just Conspiracy Take the Crown? CTtC seems to ebay for about $20 to $30 more .. but the expected values are similar?
2019-04-12 15:46:58 +0000 UTCHey Rudy do you have any FOW boxes on the Monthly List? If so what prices?
2019-04-12 07:22:22 +0000 UTCSweet :) I hope im able to throw you some moolah for boxes this month ;)
2019-04-12 05:40:27 +0000 UTCHow much will for shipping for fow bundle?
2019-04-12 05:23:29 +0000 UTCFOW.....yum. π
2019-04-12 02:29:40 +0000 UTCDo you guys think it would be beneficial to buy a second wave of Challenger 19? I'm selling some of my 1st wave decks to friends/noobs but I'm curious if the non-izzet decks will even sell at all. Thanks
Julian Quinonez
2019-04-12 02:27:01 +0000 UTCGreat update,Rudy! Thank you.
2019-04-12 02:24:46 +0000 UTC"more people are "excited" for a set than i have seen in years" Does that even include Dominaria?
2019-04-12 02:07:51 +0000 UTCHe has tons of messages he takes up to a couple 3or 4 days to get to them
2019-04-12 02:07:04 +0000 UTCCheck your dang messages Rudy! Jk..but seriously...I think you forgot about me!
2019-04-12 01:54:36 +0000 UTCI put in a preorder at my LGS for a case at $95 a box. More than Iβd like to pay but this case is for fun.
2019-04-12 01:50:34 +0000 UTCAnybody preording any WOS cards? Or do you think the hype train has prices super inflated? @Hairyarms - might be a good video topic. A lot of people say never to buy sealed product for the cards you intend to play with - always buy singles. What is your advice for WOS cards? Worth it to buy any singles now?
2019-04-12 01:47:26 +0000 UTCI'm more hyped about masters than spark
2019-04-12 01:45:59 +0000 UTCi will send out a message probably around 10 days
Rudy The Magic Guy
2019-04-12 01:44:49 +0000 UTCWhen will we be able to place orders for 2019 challenger?
2019-04-12 01:44:12 +0000 UTCGood stuff :)

2019-04-12 01:29:46 +0000 UTCRudy, Thx for the update...question...why are you excluding us patreons that did not get in on the challenger decks on the first wave? We EXPECTED, as per your posts bro, to be able to order them in the second wave.
2019-04-12 01:29:07 +0000 UTCAwesome stuff. Thanks Rudy!
2019-04-12 01:29:05 +0000 UTCNice update.
