there and back again

There is a message button in the top right in the Web interface. Not sure where it is in the app. You also have to have Rudy's membership selected, not be just looking at your general feed.

Joshua Halstead

Modern horizon 3 pre order prices are already tanking a bit.

JS

Thanks for the explanation! Locked in for future reference. “The more you know…”

Elijah Vanaver

good to know. Thanks!

Rudy The Magic Guy

Media mail is something i rarely ever use in the last couple years. But yes sometimes in the mass label purchasing 5% of the labels will swap over to media and i wont catch it. The speed is identical to "ground advantage" and there is almost no price difference in the cubic under 20pound calculations. Never ever pay surcharges since USPS auto bills me any over/under charges. Media mail is kinda a thing of the past. The price difference on a playmat is less than $1

Elijah Vanaver

media mail is slower than regular mail because it is commonly inspected.

JS

The special playmat shipment may have been different. It definitely came via Media mail. I’m in Iowa.

Elijah Vanaver

Playmats with grids printed on them "should" qualify as printed educational reference chartsaccording to:https://pe.usps.com/text/csr/ps-213.htm#:~:text=It%20must%20be%20designed%20to,tables%2C%20or%20other%20nontextual%20matter."Printed educational reference charts qualify for Media Mail prices under DMM 273.3.1.g. As applied by the Postal Service, each qualifying chart must be a single printed sheet of information which is designed to be used for educational reference purposes. It must be designed to instruct or train individuals for the purpose of improving or developing their capabilities. The information on the charts, which may be printed on one or both sides of the sheet, must be primarily conveyed by graphs, diagrams, tables, or other nontextual matter. Sheets in which the information is primarily conveyed by textual matter in a narrative form do not qualify as printed educational reference charts for mailing at Media Mail prices even if they include graphs, diagrams, or tables.Charts are normally, but not necessarily, devoted to one subject. Examples of charts include, but are not limited to: maps; tables of mathematical or scientific equations; noun declensions; verb conjugations used in the study of languages; the periodic table of elements; botanical or zoological tables; and other tables used in the study of science.DMM 273.5.3 provides that any printed matter which would be mailable as USPS Marketing Mail may be included loose with any qualifying material mailed at Media Mail prices."

Elijah Vanaver

I thought the packages were shipped usps ground advantage. What state are you in?

JS

Not sure where my post went…looks deleted on the app. Hope I’m not violating any terms, I just wanted to let people know when shipping that USPS is cracking down and tightening their policies. I always read those as guidelines or examples, not a strict specification. It’s definitely not a book, that’s for sure, but to me (and I’m assuming Rudy since he shipped it)…it’s certainly open to interpretation and definitely not far off from “Media”.

Eric Davis

How do I send a direct message

Elijah Vanaver

However, it does contain a 20-square reference chart, and so it would technically qualify as a "reference chart" (media mail)

Joshua Halstead

I just got mine on Monday. Shipper usually updates in a few days for me. Depending on when you ordered during the sale you could be part of the next 500 getting shipped. Rudy said he was grading the promos and shipping in 500 kit chunks.

John Eicher

Thank you for the reply. I figured it is something like that so I have not IMed him yet

Nick Arnold

Mine had the precons, its a smaller box.

Nick Arnold

Depending on when you ordered that night it is when it gets shipped out. What Rudy usually does is create all the tracking numbers and then over the month ships everything out.

John Eicher

I received my tracking number for the Sorcery kit 10 days ago but the item has not been sent yet.

Joshua Halstead

Got my sorcery kit yesterday and the promo is so nice

Wes Lockhart

Thank you for the Sorcery Beta kit, creepy taco man.

Joseph MacAllister

Check you email if he processed the order you will get an email saying "creepy Rudy has shipped your stuff". He said he will be busy this month so it might take a little longer to process everything. If you ordered the Sorcery kit he has said it will take all month to get orders out in batches.

Shawn Heeter

I bought from Rudy for the first time ever a week ago and while my account was charged, I didn't receive any other communication. Is this pretty standard? Does the stuff just show up on day? I'm not worried, just curious since I'm new here.

Benkpdx

I don't think so. a) Not all sets are printed in all the countries, b) Rudy may not have them, c) You could probably ask if you are trying to make a private deal through DMs, but unlikely for any Fri/Sun sales

Ricky Sauceda

Did anyone’s box not have the precons? Mine was missing those.

Vlad

just got my Sorcery kit, Whooooo!!! promo is a 9. but the case is different than from promo 1, it's slimmer and doesnt stack on top of the #1 promo (but it stacks behind it). case also has a blueish hue to it vs clear white on the #1

Benkpdx

Awesome. Can't wait for mine--got the two shipping emails so I should get them soon!

David M

Are MKM and Thunder Junction play boosters going to come to the monthly box list?

Edmund Clark

Got my Sorcery Kit 2.0 today (WOW!!!!) and the lost playmat 2 days ago. Ordered a few more $89 boxes today. All greatly appreciated. Thanks Rudy!

Anthony Piccolo

Thanks for the help! Ended up not getting that one either way but good to know. Order placed!

killroy225

I assume there's no way to request a specific manufacturer location(s) for the boxes ordered through this patreon? I got all the boxes within less than a week to my PO box so I'm really happy about that, but the American cards just feel so much worse than either the Japanese or Belgian ones.

Sam Boyd

Are you anticipating adding Heavy Hitters to the FaB list?

John Cavanaugh

Yes, you can include set boxes of baulders gate as part of your monthly order of $89 boxes. I just made an order for six different boxes and a set box of baulders was one of them.

Anthony Piccolo

New patron here, sent a direct message but just asking here for clarity, does the Baldur’s gate set box listed with all the draft boxes count towards the $89 draft box sale?

Aaron Vieyra

Hey Rudy! I know its a while from now but with how the current state of One Piece is going (having to order new sets 4+ months in advance) will you be having a sale for the next OP set late June?

Anthony Romero

Thanks.

Geoffrey Portch

Promo Card does look awesome. Playmat isn't my favorite art, but looks ok. Always in for any sorcery ! Thanks Rudy!

Angus Mcbee

yes

Kinwah Wong

I purchase his product ship to APO AP address without any problem

Ed

Promo card looks awesome

Ed

I got a kit on hold from last year, Can I order another kit?

mario telles anzurez

Gooooooooooooood luck to everyone

h2thaChizzo

How could you send the money when he hasn't even messaged you back what it costs yet?

Kwyjibo

Probably half an hour or more , this is a killer product

Kat V

Its probably going to take awhile because of the sorcery launch.

Kamden Kinnas

This is my first time ordering I was wondering how long it takes to get a email back for order information I’ve already send the money on pay pal and the note of what I wanted was just wondering sorry for the inconvenience

Gary Alexander

Thx

Brian Gittens

The price Rudy states is what you need to send. You don't need to worry about calculating fees.

Ryan Hjelmeland

Rudy may i get the Eth wallet info

Chad Renfro

Thank you for the response.

Joshua Halstead

I usually get my tracking in a day or two. PayPal should send you an email once you send Rudy an order with the details.

Christophe Rouchon

I am very excited to have become a Patreon and can t wait to upgrade my membership level when spots open

Chad Renfro

Does anyone know how long it normally takes to receive confirmation of payment and shipment of the draft boxes? Asking for a friend… lol

Gary Alexander

Good to know. Does it also include the fees automatically for sending money with a cc? Or do I have to work that out into the amount I send?

Anthony Romero

Are you able to ship to FPO AP addresses? Also are you going to do any videos on the upcoming Bloomburrow set?

Michael C

You can use credit card with PayPal. Just add it to your wallet.

Gary Alexander

I've never sent money before with PayPal to someone is there any issues if you want to use a credit card to send money?

Only Barber Iii

Thank you for your support Dan!

Gary Alexander

Thank you long line of military men I felt obligated to do my turn haha.

Frog Man Dan

Thank you for your service!

Frog Man Dan

Thank you for your service!

Frog Man Dan

Thank you for your service!

Frog Man Dan

Thank you for your service!

Frog Man Dan

Thank you for your service!

Gary Alexander

Ok well then that at least answers my question on if I needed to get on a list or send him any proof before the event. Thanks.

Carter Call

It wasn’t like that, there were a ton of people who sent money after it sold out

Carter Call

It’s an honor system

Gary Alexander

Yea I understand, i just figured we may have to show 1 of our ID to show its legit. But hopefully people will be truthfull about it.

reyes hernandez

Any WOE collectors?

Reecy

I was just asking the same question as I am USMC Vet as well.

Alex Patterson

I’m still not 100% clear on the deal with phyrexia because of all the openings I’ve seen the amount of times I’ve just not seen the value in the box with phyrexia totally dwarfs the times I’ve seen really good value in the box with phyrexia. So that one just kind of confuses me a little, the ixalan and kamaigawa I totally get that one.

Only Barber Iii

Rudy, thankyou for supporting the Military and Veteran community! I am cant wait for your new Sorcery package!

Gary Alexander

Hey Rudy I am new and a disabled vet if I want to join the early sorcery sale THE LADIES event. Do I need to send you a picture of my veteran ID or driver's license with the veteran emblem on it? Thank you very much for supporting us.

Logan Pierce

I can get 1 order of 6 draft boxes per month, but a maximum of 1 of those 6 draft boxes can be Lost Caverns of Ixalan (LCI). Hoping for the ability to purchase more quantities of them in the future.

Chad Renfro

Veterans get early access to items? Just curious because I’m also a veteran. (Newbie)

Luca Rovaldi

I'll have a Sorcery on the rocks, AND I MEAN ICE! 🥃

Nathan Tooker

You can get 6, but only 1 order on those draft prices per month

Christopher Berkley

Unless I misunderstand, this is how the previous Sorcery sale went. Sold out in minutes

Luis Felipe Oliveira Paschoal

Is it possible to make the sorcery sale a comment & get approval & pay?

OPTB Holdings LLC co SRT

She's a loyal one 🤩

Lawrence Field

I have a different email for both. Rudy gets me my product every time in a very timely manner. I always add a note bc I am paranoid. I think one time I forgot, and he still got me my product. Rudy is an amazing note-keeper.

Darryl J

This is good to know about the name/email because I was in the same boat. Just confirming make a note at the time of purchase with Patreon info?

Brent Thompson

What if we are first time purchasers using Crypto - just don't want to mess up the purchase

Emmett Stokes

Any special instructions on your end for crypto payments or do we just message you "CRYPTO!" when it's time?

BrewCrew75

Agreed. And I kept putting it off each month saying I will get it next month. I blame myself 100%.

Ceolo Physis

Like your step sister

Ceolo Physis

Who bought all of the Amazon product?

Ceolo Physis

It was on here For … e … ver … 😂

Walter Stockdale

Oh you taco tease...

Ceolo Physis

Nobody wanted it …. Forever … now it’s almost gone …

Caleb Sweet

Rudy The Magic Guy

The month of April is slammed due to the SOrcery/Magic launch. So box openings/videos will be reduced for the next couple weeks until i can catch up.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Vet/Mil/First Responder is the honor system, if you feel you deserve it, i will accept that.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Isaac, just add a note to your paypal account if you are using different names/emails. I need to be able to identify who actually sent the payment and match it to an actual patreon accoutn :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

yes actually, i am working on a Baldurs gate collectors + Forgotten realms draft/collector sale for late rthis year

Walter Stockdale

Any hopes for a Forgotten Realms sale Rudy?

isaac bartibogue

So, I want to order. It will be my first time, but I do know my PayPal email is different than my patreon account, also, I just want to be sure exactly what to do for the order so I don't do it wrong. Can anyone explain it a little better? I did read it it, but I just want to make sure I do it right

Caleb Sweet

How do I verify with you that I'm a veteran so that I can get early access to The Ladies

Matthew Turner

Are you going to do a patreon box opening video for thunder junction?

NexusTTG

Heck yeah, been waiting all day to get my order in.

BrewCrew75

Yeah figured. Well the two remaining sets on the list are Wilds and Balders Gate to pick up with Lost Caverns making its debut. But Wilds will be there a while.

NobleDragonGames

Sorcery playmat teaser on April 1st….hmmmmm :) I know it’s legit but the timing was suspect. I’m pumped for Friday! Let’s go!!

Kevin Maurer

You've only been teasing up for 3 months... And right after the atom bomb that is the sell out.

Rudy The Magic Guy

The playmat is nice....but you aint seen nothing yet.

Rudy The Magic Guy

The playmat is nice....but you aint seen nothing yet.

Rudy The Magic Guy

Post will go out friday afternoon around 5

Kevin Maurer

Ahh the Pillar in 2 player

Garrett Lorman

How does the crypto payment = priority. Do crypto sales happen first for sorcery sale?

Rudy The Magic Guy

It is, next month, i have a small amount of hte Set boxes left and they will sell out in April, and be replaced with Draft in the future.

Walter Stockdale

I thought Draft Baldurs was in our future?

Rudy The Magic Guy

Most distributors have raised the kami/phyr draft box price to $90-$95 shipped range. In addition, i cant place a special order with wotc for an entire pallet anymore. THis happens when they hit run low and have no plans on restocking/reprinting.

BrewCrew75

When the price goes up on the market like these two did, does the WAC cost also go up for you Rudy? Meaning if your cost was $75 a box, it is now $85 or $90 from the distributor?

Emmett Stokes

The Pilars playmat is bitchin!!

Daniel Pingley

Can’t wait for Sorcery!!! Thanks Rudy!

Logan Pierce

Just one LCI draft box? 😅 Hoping to see the max cap raised in future months.

Another Fan

Oh, there goes gravity

Rudy The Magic Guy

Yes but NOT this month, Sorcery + Thunder Junction have this entire month slammed.

Rudy The Magic Guy

sorry 0% chance.

Alex Patterson

Think I’m gonna have to go for the thunder junction. I’m not as excited about that one as I am the Bloomburrow one, come on bud but I don’t know if I can pass it up. Rudy always has the best deals. I definitely thought the commander decks for thunder junction looked pretty cool.
