If this set had released right after actual bg3 as dropped and was being super hyped, it would’ve literally flew off the shelves. That wasn’t wizards fault though, as the developer of the video game had delays in release.

it did fly off the shelves, the issue was that Commander Legends was so successful that Wizards had increased the price and the print run to capitalise on that legacy, then when packs started to be opened the expected value was believed to be very low because the pulls seemed few and far between, people started calling saying it was a bait and switch, the market collapsed. People liked the product when the price was reduced so it started to be opened.

I feel the same with the new AC set

I’m an old player. I made multiple decks from this set. I had a great time messing around. Wasn’t about money ❤

the patron still got clobbered only the red dragon is worth anything anymore, karlach is 9, the lands are actually like 10-13 but they are few and far between

Take a drink every time he says "5 or 10 dollar horn".

Seeing you toss a delayed blast fireball was painful. It's a more valuable card than most of the Dragons.

It’s 15$, buckle up buttercup…

I am 16 and have played and collected magic since 9. magic was actually the way I learned english

Bro listened, unboxings ARE BACK

This was my introduction to mtg when it came out - because I had also recently gotten into dnd

The trackprinting was the problem everyone wanted the dragons and lands and no one got one.

I didn’t know you could get so few dragons in that many boxes. Wild

I wasn't around when this set dropped but when I got back in around Aug of '23 (Alongside BG3 dropping) I fell in love with it. I think many did.

Thanks for cracking packs on camera, I was considering getting some collector boosters. Now I'm not.

Thank you for the recent unboxing videos Rudy, very appreciated! I love them, been watching since Kamigawa released (Kamigawa block from back in the day was the last sets I played before life hit). I remember all the Baldurs Gate openings so clearly, no land boxes, 5 mythic set boxes.. crazy times

archivist of ohgma is worth 5.19 extended , displacer 12.75, ancient red dragon 140 foil, 60 extended, 60 showcase, ancient bronze dragon is 7 dollars only … so the dragons you pulled covered maybe 2 boxes … ouch !

I have a collector box I paid 240 for and 3 i got for $119 hahah. Just hold and believe folks

Hay for the record Haunted One is sweet in Marrow Gnawer, but that being said "WHO'S GANNA PLAY THIS!!!" Made me laugh.

I don't think Rudy comprehends how certain cards can go well with certain commanders...

when i heard him say that for haunted one was it was weird cause its one of the best of the backgrounds, goes in lots of tribal decks and is also worth a bit of cash

It was so wild. This set actually brought me back to magic and I think some would say the same. Strange moment to reenter magic. Excited about pulling dragons and baldurs gate, then confused about the pricing. Had I not pulled a copper dragon in first box back it could have been different. Since been all in

I got a bunch of these at $169.99 shipped 🙏

I'm building a superfriends deck for EDH right now, and you're very right that most of them do not feel special or good anymore. Most of the ones I'm using are 5 or more years old, very few are newer than that.

The cards in this set are so versatile. I firmly believe the size of the set was too daunting for the average player to fully comprehend. It may not have had all of the "staples" that many were expecting, but gave Commander players lots of new cards to brew with, many of which are incredibly impactful in the right deck. The new cards are honestly very good, and are now finally bring appreciated.

that’s exactly it there’s a million mid range commander cards that aren’t better than the first commander legends… this needed to release like before the first commander legends this is a prequel more than a sequel imho.. giant card count!!

I got 5 dragons (2 copper) and 6 battlebond lands doing the dnd anniversaymry with 1 draft box and 1 collector box. It was super fun.

Rudy basilisk collar was in worldwake not dark ascension 😇

I sell bulk cards and anytime I get baldurs gate bulk it sells, period. That and time spiral remastered it's awesome

Set was great buying at 135 a collector box

Started in Beta.. Been around Magic and your channel for a while. I am old. haha

Honestly, i play haunted one in my mono black rats deck. It helps me attack for big while granting protection

I love the scroll frame cards

Thanks for the box opening Rudy I enjoyed it and appreciate it

Always liked this set a lot. Pulled a ton of legendaries dragons.

Omg people were so mad when they moved mana drain, they said they weren't buying it and that made it cheap for me

yeah I got these from you when they came out. Ouch... what a bummer this felt bad.

Question for patrons ... do you get a discount when you do box opening videos. Cause I don't get not wanting to open your own case...

I’m still going strong came back in 2000. Just recently said blah I’m done for awhile. The cost of magic is dumb lol.

0:54 I have been here since the Fall of 2021! 😃

Dragons are awesome but that sucks that's the only get pulled out of it

Me when I got that 1 fetchland and not much else....

I wasn’t around for this original release I joined up in early 2023

Love your videos!

This set has so many value cards...

I don’t think I’ve ever heard you Rudy mess up a customer name

I actually love this set. Really wish they had synched the release with the Baldur's Gate 3 game. Probably would have done better.

If they had made this a true companion set to AitFR I would have supported it. Another dungeon to dive into would have been great! But sadly they don't jive because its a commander only set....dumb.

For a whole case, with the exception of that last box, that was PRETTY bad 😮

The sentiment on this set truly changed after baldurs gate 3 came out /s

Still love this set🎉 thanks Rudy!!!

This was a really feel bad set for me. Nothing beats Dom U and Crimson Vow however

This set brought dragons back to magic in my mind.

Great set!

I started playing right when Kaldheim came out. KHD and M21 still are my favorites. STX was my first release I was around for. I still hang around. I take breaks, for example I haven’t played in about a month, mostly because I play a couple live service video games and they’ve all had very big releases/launches here and it’s just eating all of my free time lol. It’s starting to settle down tho and I’m getting the itch, so I’ll probably break something out here soon. I think the only time I’ve kinda had a “I don’t like mtg right now” moment was last year I guess. After Kami I was hyped for phyrexia, but brothers, dom, phyrexian, and machine all just sucked it out of me. (I know some of those sets did really well, I just didn’t enjoy them personally) but wilds sucked me back in and I was back to daily play until just a month or so ago. Even if I take a break here or there I always see myself coming back to magic.

Wasn't Basilisk Collar a Worldwake card?

@everythingmetal9400

Yes

Rudy the haunted one is playable. It’s like $10.

Idk if its definitively true but you know theres an issue with product sentiment when most people think your best chance at a good pull is a draft box

Pretty sure TCG has the last Copper dragon at $100 to $150... look at Rudy playing down the price!

Not sure I agree with that Haunted One take. The idea that only top tier cards are strong and worth building around is a small percentage of how Magic player think and build. Plus, Haunted One is good, try it out.

I was here. Lots of sweet cards in it, but the distribution on the rares and mythics was terrible in anything but draft boxes. Loved the set

Seriously I believed Rudy repacked those boxex until he pulled Ancient Copper 😅 21 packs to open first one .....

This set is always fun

This was crazy cheers

you can’t go wrong with dragons…and you can’t go wrong with a beef taco without lettuce cheese and hot sauce

6 - 18 months seems to be a very short span of time. I've stayed with magic since 1999-ish, of course it's been some more active and less active periods. From 2002 - 2007 and from 2017 - 2019 I've had some down time. But 1,5 years seems very short. Not disagreeing with statement, just surprised by it.

"Basilisk Collar, great Dark Ascension card."

I have a raggadragga commander deck and i can confirm it is a GREAT card.

I just saw jeff fall to his knees at the local Bucee's.

I can understand opening these for fun and if you are into the set, but if you are after value, you are nuts. A case of 6 boxes, worth at least 900 USD, didn’t make half of it with 3 Ancient copper dragons in the mix hahahahaha and that is indeed lucky for this set…

People only stick with magic for 6-18 months? That’s crazy to me.

OOO Elephants!!

Ancient copper dragon is is $145

I mean it seems a little strange that the big complaint is the lack of Mana Drain in a D&D theme set, followed by complaining about Commander-specific cards in a commander-specific product. Kinda like complaining about there not being any Moxes in the Lord of the Rings set or being upset that there were a lot of artifact-specific cards in Mirrodin.

LOL - Vexxing Puzzleboxes just scream 'Theme Deck' ;-D

I have a feeling another bait & switch is coming soon. The power creep has been off the charts lately, and Bloomburrow and Duskmourn are mostly trying to sell people on the art.

A lot of Baldurs Gate feels like cards were just 1 cmc from being playable. A lot of interesting cards in this set but too much of a pain to play

$62.68 vs. $62.44 tcg mid of copper dragon reg vs showcase. Personally, I don't like the parchment cards just bc I don't want to reward wizards for less work. (Less ink and drawing)

I liked this set and AFR .. I Tan cards I didn’t care for

You have to turn the jellyfish sideways and tickle the top of it. Trust me.

There is drama in every set. Remember Mirage when they debuted 3 block sets???? Bruh. It was supposedly game-over.

I had already checked out - it was just after Strixhaven when I waived the flag. Pokemon somewhat has my heart.

I was there! Not that it matters 😂

I’ve been in magic since the 2001

Been here since 2014

Collectors are literally only worth if you get them at like half the msrp lol Even then Only if you pull a dragon and even then certain ones

80-90? thats $145 card rudy

Honestly, as a set for money or investments yeah it’s bad. But damn do I love building decks for fun with cards from the set. I have 6 commander decks based on cards that are from this set.

If they sold set boxes for $50 and Collector Boxes for $100, I guarantee the company would make double the amount of money they already bring in. But they are too dumb. I would be buying 3 boxes opposed to zero because at least I feel I’m getting more out of it. I don’t have $450 to spend on magic cards but maybe $100

Plaines walkers are hard to protect 🤷

I don't collect magic but I'm started watching you around 2020 your information has been more then valuable your take on the market smpratt's take on pokemon my passion for pokemon has been good to me over the years. Thank you Rudy I appreciate sir.

man that showcase treatment was hot garbage

Been into magic since 2002 so a fair few years. This was one of the weirdest times for sure. The bait and switch just felt awful as it was so blatant and a massive f*CK you from wizards. The product was never bad but the feeling was for sure.

The Greatest Taco of all Time

Been playing all in since 2017

Rudy I’m now a Patron but you got me back into magic for VIP Double Masters. Now that I have money I’m here for life. I have 52 Baldurs gate commander decks. Holy shit they are selling for ALOT. I’m in the middle of doing inventory for the first time. In total it’s worth more than a house. Since 2019 I bought collector boxes of each set, some draft and set, but I went all in on commander decks. It was brutal during kaldheim, strixhaven, zendikar rising, Dominaria United…but I STAYED THE COURSE like a true Timmy💎✅💥🔥

There goes $1k

Too the moon!!

Get it together king dingaling

Better than VOW ans actully have playable card

this set was obviously a sleeper, people love this baulders gate shit cause the videogame really and people wanna play flavorful cards

Giggity

California REPRESENT!

Looks like clb is still fun to play and awful to open

Wasn't watching, gave up on mtg literal years ago -Casuals
