Important Updates

In the next 24 hours i will be posting a video about some changes that wizards is doing, that is not fully public information yet. The biggest bombshell is probably the fact that WOTC is going to raise all Booster prices starting September 1st by 1.50-2.50 a box to every store in the country.

Wizards has recently announced they are shutting down there Wholesale store WPN direct buying for every store nationwide. Moving forward the ONLY way for any store to get product now is through distributors. Wizards reasoning is to focus on other things. The reality is this is the opportunity for them to increase pricing nationwide while NOT increasing the MSRP of the product lines. This means all stores around the country will make even LESS money per box, i expect this alone will shutdown some stores in the next 12 months. 

As of this time, i am NOT going to raise my prices, i plan on leaving the box prices at 79.99 and covering the extra costs.


Moving on...

Wizards has raised the price of Commander 2018 to an MSRP of 140.00, this is why you see prices between 140-150 on ebay right now.

Pre-orders will open on August 1st, and I will destroy that 140.00 price :-)


32 x Weiss Schwarz Gurren lagann Booster boxes are back in stock


2 x Cases of Final Fantasy Opus 6 left :-)

Dominaria / M19 remain in stock

No battlebond :-(

Hell yeah, in my opinion commander is the best to play with friends. I've been waiting for this to get back into playing.

Hello Rudy can we get more "scumbag investor videos"

Jonathan S

Don't even think about it, just check regularly, hell start checking a couple days early. Rudy likes to sneakily start things early.

Around what time of day on August 1st will we be able to preorder Commander 2018? I've been looking forward to this all year.

As ALWASYS Sir, you are a straight up PIMP! Great to hear you are sticking to your guns even though the 'MAN' is sticking it to us. Rise up people and let your voices be heard; email, Tweet, text, etc to WOTC and let them know your displeasure with and that their "jack-booted" Gestapo tactics will not work!!

Rudy! You are the man... Becoming your patreon was money well spent! Don't listen to the detractors and keep doing what you are doing.

sorry i do not have any masterpieces for sale right now, i dont have a set price for Commander decks yet, until i get the numbers from distributors in the next 10 days

Rudy The Magic Guy

haha - recent video @ 6:30 - was this directed toward people like me?

C18! C18! C18! :D sorry I'm on this hype train to hose town.

Grey Shirt Guy

Thanks for keeping the prices low for us Rudy. Looking forward to C18 :)

Austin Schafer

How much will you be selling the Commander decks for? Also do you have your masterpieces up for sale? I’ve been looking to collect at least one of each

im not sure whats going on with battlebond...it feels like they are not making anymore, but i simply do not know

Rudy The Magic Guy

yea....that video is easily a month away still

Question: Is battlebond OOP officially or unoffically? Comment: WOTC upper mgmt should care most about the LGS’s that make the game possible. This is clearly the best for profitability of game long run, which translates to best for shareholders of Hasbro. If that needs to be explained to Rosewater and co, then something needs fixing.

Prediction - one pack will be 4.50 at most stores 4.99 at the big box.

Oh boy we see what happens when WOTC focuses on "other things" aka wrong think.

Is the BGS video also still on the horizon? It seems to get crazier everyday. Also, nothing like watching PSA and BGS loyal people attack each other in a comment thread. I hope u mention a few times that u prefer PSA as u make a video about the BGS mess to exacerbate the issue for our entertainment

When the post comes, or course. Otherwise you won't have the price he's selling at yet, silly :p

Donovan

Appreciate the heads up

Rudy just know you are the best and why I support you!

For commander 2018, are orders opening on August 1st at 12:00am or when you put the patreon post up that orders are open?

What Jake M said. No one should be surprised. Thanks for the update Rudy!

Dave Huffy

Stores just have to pass the price increases to the customers. Same with how the rest of the world runs , unless wotc is also fixing the prices that the consumer sees at the cash register. Thats an another problem.

Jake M

Thanks for the update. Can't wait for commander 2018

Jeffery Manzanares

I’ll keep an eye out for the video. Seems weird for WOTC to focus on other things (whatever they may be). I honestly hope WOTC can do what it takes to encourage the LGS. I think the buy a box promo is still a great idea (although I think it’s weird the 2nd most expensive card in M19 is the promo). My area has lost three LGS’s in the past year. I want to see the one remaining thrive.

Stephen Konefal

maybe they are raising the box price to increase card quality? An extra 3.00 a box to fix warping is worth it in my book!

Great intel Rudy. Made a video last night predicting a price increase. Also predicted no change in reckless policy of card quality.

Thanks as always Rudy this is one of the benefits of being a Patreon and supporting you.

Vince DeStefano, Sr

That is why you’re the best Rudy!! Thanks for info!

Julio A Samaniego

Hopefully focusing on other things means card quality. Thanks for the update Rudy
