Because you take what you spend on his patreon and take that out what you save on these "deals" in the rare chance that those same deals line up with things you actually want to buy, and you end up with a very small discount at best. Because the truth is that you are just rolling the dice and he makes both profit on the "deals", patreon, and youtube and you end up with paying what you would if you just got cozy with your local lgs.
he also sells booster boxes at a pretty solid price, though that has since gone up since wotc is increasing prices across the board. being able to get a booster box case for $480 shipped from rudy was quite nice. now it's $528 shipped, which obviously isn't as good, and I tend to go with Pepper Crab when getting stuff now. but he reliably has collector boxes on release, which in some cases(commander legends and kamigawa) was nearly impossible to get elsewhere, let alone at a good price.

Is there a good site for high quality MTG artwork? I just spent way too much money on a Hitbox and I want to gucci it up with some cool art, but all the stuff I've found is super low res.

Use the original Counterspell art and only play Yun in 3S

Oh, I don't play Commander so I didn't know, and I wouldn't assume it would be popular because it doesn't seem like it would be an auto-include.

I'm reminded of Prof's deck box kickstarter and how that absolutely crashed and burned for the first hour or so and that was just for the first few thousand if I recall.

All four of these cards are played in commander. Mystic Remora is a meta-defining card in cEDH (and also a $7-10 common that's never been printed in foil-- never been reprinted at all, in fact), Burgeoning and Utopia Sprawl are green staples, both of which are stupid expensive in foil, and Coralhelm is a popular combo piece even if it's not an expensive card.

Among all the lairs in this batch, this one is a flawless home run imo. Fantastic art for cards that are fairly in demand but sorely need reprints, all for roughly the cost of one of the cards on the secondhand market. (Nonfoil Burgeoning is around $25 as it is).

I thought Remora was a rare, I knew it was worth money in foil (my last post in thread was about it), I didn't realize Utopia Sprawl was printed so little (assumed it got mass reprinted like other similar cards), and like I said I didn't know Coralhelm was played in commander. Seems like it is a pretty good value, but I still think putting another good rare in instead of one of the commons should be something that Wizards should do and players should keep asking them for, though. As much of a staple the commons might be, I'm sure there's an either under-printed or heavily used staple Rare that could have replaced one of the Common staples.
