News and Print Run Updates

So as of right now i still have some boxes of Masters 25 available if anyone wants them. I purchased a local stores allocation and have them :-)

As of right now there is still NO 2nd wave or RESTOCK coming from WOTC on Masters 25. WPN stores are still getting 4-8 box restocks once per week trickling into the market.

Masters 25 single cards have TANKED harder than iconic masters based on percentage% and rate of change. I believe this is due to the negative reaction from Iconic masters combined with continued bad decisions at WOTC.

In 60 days after Dominaria releases if Masters 25 does NOT have a restock i believe the market is going to trend upward due to lack of supply and NO ONE wanting to hold sealed product anymore.

Specifically cards like the Filter lands and Chalice are going to pull the EV up on the box. 


Other news i will be doing a Final Fantasy OPUS 1,2,3,4,5 specialty box set soon :-)

Some more aggressive High throttle Rudy videos are coming next week.

Challenger Decks are going to be a disaster, i am hearing RUMORS the print run is going to equal to from the vault products...

the best for last...

I have information that connects the reason WOTC is allowing WPN stores to sell boxes early is in response to SPORTSANDMORE, video coming.

o yea...and Dominaria leaks were timed and scheduled to be released at that moment, it was not a leak.


Thanks everyone, you are the reason this channel exists

Do you have any information on the health of the Final Fantasy TCG? Is this game thriving? Dying? Would be cool to talk about if you do a Opus V opening video.

Any word on Dominaria preorder?

I was planning to buy all my boxes of domainira from the infamous guy named shirtless (please) rudy. Instead of bought one from my local store. Figures wizards would mess up challenger decks

Buy a box promos are for in store only. Online sales don't get them.

far fetch but if we get Dominariea from you would we be able to get at least one promo per order? or if theres enough to do 2 promos? per case order?

Rudy, have you watched the professors booster box game with M25? ONLY the foils got it barely over $100.

Jonathan Morris

Rudy, you never replied to my email for apoc. boxes. A reply would've been appreciated.

waiting on my numbers, should get them next week

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hopefully you still have SOME orders open on Challenger decks - do you plan on selling any? I'd buy a bundle from you at $100 or so, regardless of availability, but if you're probably not going to, I want to work with somewhere local to preorder, so a heads-up would be great.

the week early prorgam is for pre-release tournaments and NOT shipping product

Rudy The Magic Guy

Rudy, are you going to receive Dominaria early and ship out a week eary?

Justin Newsom

179.00 is no longer much of a deal. They can be had on amazon for a few bucks less. This set is a long term albatross.

Interesting on the Challenger decks info, I pre-order my product way before I even know what's inside it, I get like 1-2 of each items to sell and move on, this makes me happy as should be able to make full profit

Buy up those foil Animar!!๐Ÿ˜Š

Swahealeyman

I am nervous to change the price, especially since everyone already paid the 179 price

Rudy The Magic Guy

Masters 25 boxes are on the $$decline$$. Are we willing to adjust that price to reflect the market?

Swahealeyman

not looking good, i have already received messages from people being canceled on tcgplayer and ebay

Rudy The Magic Guy

any hope for a preorder on Challenger Decks? or is it looking slim?

dont feel bad...a TON of preorders will get canceled

Rudy The Magic Guy

not surprised at all....

Rudy The Magic Guy

i would prefer 2 packs due to the shipping size, but since everyone has been filled, i will take 1 box orders if you absolutly have to :-o

Rudy The Magic Guy

As much as I hate to admit it, the Dominaria leaks sure seemed to do a great job of distracting us from the dumpster fire of M25. When it happened I joked to a friend about this very possibility. Then again I posted on this very site about the supply control on M25 being done to keep prices higher by limiting shipments because it was gonna be a bad set. It sucks when the most rational explanations take to you to really unpleasant conclusions.

I gotta ask cause if I donโ€™t someone else will. With those extra boxes of 25, can people buy single boxes?

"Some more aggressive High throttle Rudy videos are coming next week" Can't wait! Lol

Leon Andrews III

Sportsandmore sent me booster boxes a week or two before release, it was pretty sweet

This is spicy, I love it. Also keep in mind Rudy said "RUMORS".. time will tell though

Alex Heyman

Damn, and I passed up on ordering them on massdrop because Rudy promised theyโ€™d be up at under 100.

I feel like the challenger deck info probably is right because if there's a dumbest possible decision to make in a given situation, it seems that's the way Wizards is going nearly 100% of the time

Oof, that's rough for the Challenger decks. I figured the new Spellbook products would mirror the FTV distribution, not the product that's intended to get higher FNM turnouts.

Joseph Fernandes

Rishadan port is also not a card which will have high demand. Cards which are modern playable I feel are on such a different level than legacy playable cards (excluding reserved list) in terms of demand. Looking over the full Masters 25 set and opening 4 boxes myself, I literally can't find 5 cards in the set which I actually really like and feel like, "Wow, I'm glad that's in here!"

I really like the pre-release option for stores, btw. That actually makes a lot of sense, and being able to get product a week early with a promo not available anywhere else is a solid incentive for players to buy local.

Dan Newland

That Challenger Deck info can't be right. If they bother to make these decks, they have to print them into the ground, right? Because having them be available pretty much anywhere at or around MSRP is the entire point.

Dan Newland

If chalice goes back up to where it was (~$75) before Masters 25, will that really help stabilize box prices? I honestly don't believe there's strong demand for filter lands. They fall into the category of they were priced high before Masters 25 due to low supply and low (but some) demand. It's the same situation mana drain, karakas, burning wish, etc. type cards ran into in other sets in the past couple years. I'm extremely pessimistic about Masters 25 because I don't feel the cards in the set have high demand, which was not true for a lot of cards in Masters 2017 and even Iconic. I think Masters 25 is the worst set I've seen maybe ever from Wizards as a specialty type set, and I'll never trust them again to assume the set will be good for me to preorder before full spoilers. I hope they realize the damage they've done with people like me, and I know we're numerous.

they will sell on the open market for over MSRP and are going to be difficult to find

Rudy The Magic Guy

So Challenger decks won't tank card prices at least. I'm not really seeing the downside.

Michael Gleason

FTV = From The Vault items are stupidly low = 4 boxes per store...NOT cases...boxes :-(

Rudy The Magic Guy

FTV = From The Vault items are stupidly low = 4 bxoes per store...NOT cases...boxes :-(

Rudy The Magic Guy

What are the prices and limits for A25 Mr. Rudy?

Mushu

So Challenger will be... insanely overprinted? I don't know what 'FTV print runs" means.

Michael Gleason

From the vault was before I started playing again, did that have a high or low print run?

Time to HOLD THE WALL

PKKite

The masters 25 prices are still at 179$ ?
