Frog Man Dan

On to Sorcery!

David Scott

You send the exact amount Rudy says and Paypal automatically deducts it, but make sure you pay with goods & services.

Mercat

When sending money for something do we add paypal's 4% or do we just send the flat amount of the price of the product?

Marko Pende

When is the big reveal of the new Sorcery Promo?

John Eicher

Beta boxes have already doubled in price from the $150 CT price. Rudy's deal is going to be off the charts crazy.

Joshua Halstead

Oh man I might jump again on the sorcery wagon.

John Cavanaugh

The limitless supply at Team Covenant has run dry. Things will start to get interesting with Beta.

Frog Man Dan

Exciting things happening in the world of Sorcery!

Ronald Thompson

680$-699$

William Todd

What will be the price of the sorcery kit?

Bryant Delano

hmmm is that a rudy antiquities playmat in the background of yesterday's video

Stephen Hoxworth

Hello everyone. I am definitely excited to be here and support one of my favorite content creators. Also the cheap MTG sounds excellent. Looking forward to Sorcery and Outlaws.

Joshua Halstead

I was thinking on shipping the 2nd sorcery drop to let other patrons enjoy the product. Rudy’s promos are always so nice 👍

John Cavanaugh

Great thoughtful topic too. If you limit the LGS distribution supply with only a slight markup from other collector boxes and then allow greater supply through Amazon at a significant markup it effectively subsidizes the LGS box value with less chance of a crash. WOTC can keep box numbers low to maintain their bottom line while also maintaining box value. The interesting thing about this product is the Collector Box value is almost purely placed on the variants and a few reprints as you can get close to a complete set with the Commander set. We have yet to see what WOTC does as the product gets close to the end of its lifecycle. Will they offload the remaining stock at distribution rate over a long period, dump it quick in order to squeeze the remaining value, or will they eliminate unsold product because they made their profit upfront and don't want to water down interest in other product?

Frog Man Dan

Are we on track for 4/5 sorcery? I travel next day/week, and will be devastated to miss. 🥲

Nick Arnold

Whiteboard and pink visor returns!

Rudy The Magic Guy

Carrier Pigeon, please use a hand written note, taped to the left foot of the bird :-)

Gary Concepcion

How does one send Rudy a direct message ?

Joseph MacAllister

I've been to Funkytown. The song makes it sound a lot nicer than it is.

Timothy (Timmy) Hoffmaster

My experience is it takes about 4-8 business days for package to arrive

Frog Man Dan

My curios are all singing: “Won’t you talk me to…RUDY TOWN? Won’t you take me to…Rudy town.” Now it’s in your head, isn’t it? 😂

Frog Man Dan

My 3rd curio is heading to Rudyville next week! https://share.icloud.com/photos/00cqLBk1iOGv8Y9n0W85_LTyA

Ryan

How long does it generally take between buying the draft boxes and getting a shipping notification?

Christopher Berkley

I missed it, was there an announcement that Kamigawa was going off the list? Never mind, I just saw yesterday’s post. I feel like I miss more things since trying to use the Patreon app…

David M

3 Boxes Ordered. Sad I missed Kamigawa by the time I got off work this morning

Joshua Halstead

Hey 👋 welcome to the community! Rudy mainly sells collector boxes on release. Same thing goes for the play boxes for future sets. You can order whatever the amount for draft that you signed up for. You just need to send Rudy money through PayPal and add the note what it’s for. Shipped takes a day or so and roundtrip for in hand is like a weekish.

killroy225

This is my first time on Rudy's patreon, how does the collector and/or set boxes/cases work, only during the first little while of a set's release or whenever he's got stock? Also, to confirm, when I put an order in I post here, pay through paypal with what I want in addition to here, or only in the paypal comments? I want to make sure I don't mess this up my first time! XD

John Gallo

Friday night special here we go!

Daniel Inlow

2 Phy paid, thanks Rudy!

John Cavanaugh

USPS

David M

Hey fellow patrons! As I'm about to place my initial order. What shipping service does Rudy use to ship the orders?

foxyfarhad

Order placed 😎

Mind Quad

Order in for Kami and all will be one

Joshua Halstead

Had to have a friend become a Patreon as Kami and all will be one was next month order.

h2thaChizzo

1 kami, 1 Phy, paid. I watch your vids and remain highly entertained.

Frog Man Dan

Friggin’ beautiful! ❤️🐸

Frog Man Dan

John Cavanaugh

Goods and services, he sells way to much to be considered in the friends and family category.

Mark Banse-Fay

Any ideas on when we get play boosters or Lost Caverns of Ixalan draft?

George Lopez

So do we send F&F or GnS on paypal? For an order

Philip Chiu

whew got my order in for a case of 6 booster boxes tonight. Very good deal here for Pokemon Temporal Forces. Good luck everyone

Giancarlo Duquette

Hey there! Rudy usually ships within a couple days and will send you the tracking.

NexusTTG

Greetings fellow Timmys. I just joined and placed my first order the other day. What is typical turn around for shipping? Not in a rush, just want an idea. Thanks!

Jacob Wilson

🎯

Arthur Smith

Send a single message and wait. If you flood Rudy with multiple messages it will reset your order in line of messages.

Chris woodard aka Pokemon Legends TV

I still haven't received last months boxes...wondering if I did it wrong....can we take a look at this?

Timothy (Timmy) Hoffmaster

I like how we went from Monthly Sale List to a Month-And-A-Half Sales List xD

Timothy (Timmy) Hoffmaster

I got 3 of those shirts, wat about you? :D

Frog Man Dan

Public service reminder: My Rudy T-shirt is worth more than your GAME PIECES!

Rudy The Magic Guy

Hey Burton, please send a private message

Burton Brunel

Aloha Rudy I watched your video to the end like I always do and would like to grab 2 commander fallout sets please if you have any left ? Penis

Crazy Bacon

Whats the party gonna be for tonight?

JODY MCCULLOUGH

no friday night special for 3/8?

Patrick Ahern

Man, always feels like sorcery gets pushed further and further back. I know it's not because of you Rudy. Thankfully, the product, the exclusive card and mat still makes it worth it. There's something magical about sorcery. No pun intended lol

Peter R

Also curious on your thoughts on SWU.

Jorge Lopez

Hey Rudy, do you plan on doing star wars unlimited?

Frog Man Dan

When I’ve had a hard day at work, I like to come home and watch Rudy go through his pallets!

Rudy The Magic Guy

great question! - Yes normal stores had no cuts if they receive a normal quantity of 6-180 boxes. the top 1% of stores who get 1,000+ boxes like me....did get a 35% cut :-) I hope that helps

Tyler Olson

I have listened to a few store owners talking about how their Temporal Forces allocations for booster boxes did not seem to be cut at all after hearing there would be. Did you find this true with your allocations as well??

Jesse H

thunder junction is what my stepmom calls rudy when he comes over to fix the washer and dryer

Lucas Martin

Just send him a message in Patreon. He'll reply eventually. He does his best to get through the list. Just don't send more than one message or it resets your place in the line.

Lucas Martin

Seems waaaaay too good to be true. I suspect the EV calculator they are using might not be accounting for the number of slots in a pack. Packs have a commons to R/M slots ratio of 10 to 1. In the set there's 117 Commons and 80 R/M, a ratio of ~1.5 to 1. So if they average the prices with the ratio of 1.5 to 1 it makes the EV much higher than the true pack EV.

Bigger Worlds Games

Hey Rudy, what's the best way to contact you? I'm a new game store and wanted to ask some questions if you wouldn't mind? Thanks.

Huey C

I sorted the boxes by EV: Wilds of Eldraine Draft Box EV: $179.45 Kamigawa Draft Box EV: $178.03 Jumpstart 2022 Box EV: $170.45 Unfinity Draft Box EV: $170.09 March of the Machine Draft Box EV: $169.38 Brother's War Draft Box EV: $166.86 Phyrexia All Will Be One Draft Box EV: $156.26 Crimson Vow Draft Box EV: $131.27 Streets of New Capenna Draft Box EV: $126.48 Commander Legends 2 Baldur's Gate Set Box EV: $115.24 Copied the EV's from Mox Alpha. Is this too good to be true?

The Gaudy Gosling

RUDY! I'm super excited for the Sorcery bundle. I'm rubbing hands together like a praying mantis, ready to strike!

Derrick Lavender

With Azur lane getting a second print is it time to sell the case I have or will it continue to rise since its first print

Charles Pinnix

Neon Dynasty draft boxes are so gas. Boseiju, Otawara, Mirror-Breaker, Emperor. It’s insane.

Luke (Louis) Holub

Looking forward to my wallet taking a trip to the PoundTown Saloon for Thunder Junction and Sorcery - let’s go April!

Edward Hernandez

sorcery and a case of poke for the vault. cheers

Aaron

Yeah for sorcery.

William Pashia

No Caverns of Ixalan yet? Surely next month then.

Frog Man Dan

Now we’re talking! I can’t wait to see the new Sorcery play mats! I don’t know what the big deal was with the last one. I thought it worked great! https://share.icloud.com/photos/081R14Tn3jcIfQAOBcdmipejA

Rudy The Magic Guy

I plan on running a commander sale for all magic releases moving forward, until we swap back to the PLAY boxes. More patrons ask for the commander sets than play boxes right now.

Logan Pierce

Thunder Junction commander? Interesting. I know you tend to not run sales on most commander decks. Is Thunder Junction the “big” commander release for the year, or something?

Luca Rovaldi

SHOW ME THE SORCERAAAAAEEEEEYYYYY 🥃

Rudy The Magic Guy

Slightly higher than the previous kit, we added a custom playmat with this bundle :-)

Trevor Soare

Any idea on price point of the sorcery kits?

Rudy The Magic Guy

great question! The ONLY Draft box that is NOT out of print is Ixalan. No other Draft boxes are being reprinted ever. BUT...dont get excited....Wotc has a reserve supply of all recent sets and until those dry up and flush out of distribution, i dont expect any major upticks. It will be another 1-2 years to flush all of 2021-2023 era stuff.

Lucas Martin

Woohoo!

David Gil

how far back are boxes still being "printed"? Will be interesting to see how wizards handles draft boxes for ixalan and before while also printing play boosters and beyond at that higher price point until the draft booster is fully phased out.

Rudy The Magic Guy

One Piece OP-06 Sale is coming :-)

Rudy The Magic Guy

Rivals of Ixalan(2018?) is something that would only be sold privately due to rarity and pricing. I dont have enough to run a mega sale to everyone

Rudy The Magic Guy

No luck, Ixalan is one of the best selling standard sets in years. I cant order multi-pallets of it :-/

Rudy The Magic Guy

They are not a "distributor" and i dont have any information on those guys. So i cant comment on the actions of what they are doing with Sorcery. Metazoo struggled all the time for years on delaying releases and not following through on things. In the end, they disappeared and took money from pre-orders and didnt pay people. What management of Metazoo did was truely awful on all levels. If i had known the true colors i would NEVER carried there product line.

ROBERTO GOMEZ

I don’t see one piece but maybe it’s a surprise 🤫

Sean Mumford

Are there plans to carry Rivals of Ixalan draft boxes in future? And thank you for the detailed response to "play" boxes below. Always appreciated 🙂

Travis Gafford

Hi Rudy! Any idea when LCI draft will be available?

1423big

Rudy... With how team covenant still has sorcery boxes at MSRP... Do you think you will ever be acquainted with them enough to be a distributer similar to them? Weren't you intimate with metazoo and able to assist with their releases? Sorcery must see your sell through rate on the products you sell and know your valuable knowledge base on selling cardboard rectangles. Just would be cool to order from you rather than someone else.

Rudy The Magic Guy

great question....i was working on getting play boosters for $110-$112 shipped on all sets moving forward. Then Karlov manor came out and i received so many messages about "$99 play boxes" due to people not realizing that is NOT a real shipped price. I have halted all negociation and progress on play boxes until further notice. It was looking like all play boxes for patrons could be around $112-$116 shipped indefinitly, but that has been canceleed at this time.

K St Sauveur

Mr. Rudy, is there any insight you can provide regarding your plans (or non-plans) for getting Play boxes on the monthly product list going forward? Not asking for price specifics, just if you are considering it and if so, what the challenges are right now with that. Thank you, sir!

Marty Westrich

March Taco Madness! Hope you all are enjoying the fine luxury cardboard rectangles!

Rudy The Magic Guy

A loyalty sale for Magic is coming.

Rudy The Magic Guy

I have all the Beta boxes + Deck bricks at the warehouse now. Waiting on the Promo cards + Playmat. Even through Sorcery said to move forward with the sale, i am waiting until EVERYTHING is here and pushing the date.
