Rudy has a warehouse I assume. He also owns a store. He is actually someone who makes money with these things. Don't confuse him with idiots doing buyouts on tcgplayer.

I'd love to see some data on how much money so-called "speculators" make from actually buying and selling cards, vs. being paid content creators for sites that appeal to speculators.

Rents storage units for "deep storage" if I recall correctly. If anything, the way he pulls things out of storage for video backdrops is the silly part, but they are frequently entertaining so I can't criticize. Those particular Origins boxes are being shipped to his Patreon supporters at what is essentially a loss. Makes for a funny caption though.

They are really pushing Revolt, huh? Not that I'm complaining, though I like Push a lot more than more GW value dudes. At least this guy isn't a 2/3!

e: ^^ I could see this showing up in Naya Zoo or Company or whatever equivalent that has nowadays, even if it's only a t2 deck. Being able to grab a goyf or even just another fetch, and it works off of Collected Company too...

It's best shot is in Evolution/CoCo decks that run Melira combo, since you can evolution a birds into this and grab Melira or Seer back out of the bin.

It targets when it comes into play, so you'd need two images to make it loop.

I feel like the point of playing selfless spirit is that you are probably going to end up saccing it. Hopefully getting value out of it. Now you have a creature that not only gets you the card back, but also puts it into play in a slightly aggressive body? Card seems better every time I look at it. In standard it just depends on how good the targets are going to be and the decks that might be able to run all of it. I feel like unless we get artifact destruction at instant speed that is less than 3 cmc decks like this aren't going to matter.

In modern, I dont' feel like its a 4 of but it feels like its a very flexible creature that plays the colors and uses ramp and/or coco.
