Reddit's been going crazy over this. I would be, too, if I saw this with no spoilers.

(Skip to around 8:00 to get to the rares.)

I just saw that today.  I saw spoilers, then saw him pull a trop as well.  It kills me how many comments are along the lines of "he needs to get laid."  He just made a ton of money.  Right now, he probably doesn't give one single .love. about how nerdy he made himself seem.  I personally thought it was pretty awesome.

The two rares = Alpha {Black Lotus} and {Tropical Island} + freak out.

I feel like anyone would shake from that much adrenaline. It's just jealousy, wonder how popular this vid will be, everyone's linked it

When you really think about it, he didn't make any money at all. He just found out how much he had

thats not really true. the sealed started had its own value and he could have sold it for that.

And now I want one of the islands he opened. Or that snowy mountain, that's a thing. He was lucky as all hell though opening that lotus. Congrats to him and hope he gets the other 8 for his collection.
