My god. I have never seen that old picture of Triskelion before. That's hilarious

@TouchDirt 2 года назад

I grew up playing the 97 PC game so I always loved that stupid art.

@hermodnitter3902 2 года назад

Lol, I had the opposite, when returning to MTG, seeing this new "wrong" picture of Triskelion.

@LadyBernkastel92 2 года назад

Only somewhat related, but I love Atog's flavor text when they reprinted it in Mirrodin. "On Dominaria, a scavenger. On Mirrodin, a predator." Such a wonderful hit of flavor that, when taken in conjunction with it's ability to eat artifacts for power, really sets up what the at the time new plane is like and how it differs from the normal magic world.

@MetallicMutalisk 2 года назад

It also refers to the fact how Mirrodin has no native creatures and was instead populated with creatures taken from all the planes

@shuboy05 2 года назад

Brown Ouphe from Ice Age was also reprinted in Mirrodin with a referential flavor text. "In a strange twist of fate, one of the most annoying creatures in the multiverse was brought to the place where it could cause the most damage. "

The term "Tron" references the lands combining like Voltron, into something greater the sum of its parts.

@bstachutheuneatable1727 2 года назад

Yeah, the Urza lands are singlehandedly the reason I won't call Mechtitan Core Voltron even though that's exactly what the core is

Yep.

Antiquites is both one of the strongest and coolest editions ever.

Can’t believe you didn’t say ‘and six of the top five cards were lands,’ instead of four of the top five, given this chance.

Nizzahon: "These are some of the few cards in the set that don't have the word 'Artifact' anywhere on them." Me: **reads Urza's Power Plant flavor text** :P

@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor 2 года назад

Antiquities is such an absurd set, but I really do love it. For one, Strip Mine and Mishra's Workshop could *easily* make it into "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)", in fact, this set might have one of the highest amounts of cards with Vintage points out of any I can think of off the top of my head. The second reason is because I really do love the Brother's War stuff between Urza and Mishra, even if I'm not *that* much of a lore head. Antiquities is cool.

@ashra8281 2 года назад

If they finally do it they'll loose the comment. So can you say what you'll spam afterwards?

@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor 2 года назад

@@ashra8281 I'm thinking Top 10 Elephants, given they're one of my favourite creature types.

I *am* a lore head & this set is why I'm going to bitch all throughout the release of Brother's War

@zakpodo 2 года назад

Gotta say, that will be a sad day. I always enjoy how you segue seamlessly from a thoughtful, but typical comment into a request for a video. Always blindsides me, since I don't read names before comments, even though I know it's bound to be there. Never change, lobster.

@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor 2 года назад

@@zakpodo You'd be surprised but can be a bit difficult sometimes to segue into "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)". Especially the Top 10 Worst lists which are my favourite, but are very hard to think of good ways to segue, but it's a fun creative exercise to try and make my dream come true.

@marciodemeo4731 2 года назад

I love all of your content, but top 10 cards from old sets are my favorites by far! Thank you for this gems! Waiting anxiously for the Legends time.

@shuboy05 2 года назад

Legends is going to be interesting. I have a gut feeling Chain Lightning is going to make the top 10 along with Sylvan Library, Land Tax, Moat, and Mana Drain.

@gregoryfolsom7882 2 года назад

Honestly surprised Ashnod's Altar didn't make the cut.

@markomalmi7989 2 года назад

I would love to hear stories of older players, telling their reactions for powerful cards and sets back then, how they saw the world of magic versus how they see it now

@GabrielRibeiro-eg3bw 2 года назад

That's pretty cool. It's nice that most of those are not super expensive cards (Shop being the exception, of course). Atog is still pretty cool in Old School tho!

@philipshillito3039 2 года назад

Started playing when this set came out. Mishra's factories were my favourites. I loved watching blue mages faces when I put one down lol.

@bobm1476 2 года назад

This set is nuts, Power and Transmute Artifact didn't even make it and they are in this set.

@RajaniIsa 2 года назад

Wouldn't another reason the Urza Lands weren't as popular initially was mana burn?

@TheMajesticYak0 2 года назад

Not really, because they tap for 2 or 3 depending on which one, so with just the three lands you can produce 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 mana depending on how you tap. That only leaves out 1 and 6 and you'd only burn for one for either of those as well. The problem was early Magic had very few ways to tutor up non-basic lands. So assembling all three lands was just too unreliable compared to other things you could be doing. Also, land destruction was more common in the early days, so they were very vulnerable to strip mine, stone rain, sinkhole, etc.

@nickhughes8179 Год назад

A little known card from Antiquities that’s quite useful in Commander is Artifact Blast. R to either destroy an artifact or counter an artifact spell.

@kevlar111 2 года назад

Fun Fact: Atog is an anagram for Goat as goats eat most things.

@wuschelbeutel 2 года назад

My favorite set of all time. Great atmosphere on the card art and lore. Have quite a few cards of this collection for use in vintage decks and old school. Keeps going up in price so I might try to complete the set soon. At least before the brothers war is released.

@jenniferwilliams9612 2 года назад

Antiquities is a densely packed set. A huge percentage of those cards are relevant, and the set is one of the smallest in history. I enjoy the set videos, especially the ones on terrible sets. Of the godawful sets that I can think of off of the top of my head, Masques is the one that I don’t think that you have done. It would be cool to see a list on that too!

@XYGamingRemedyG Год назад

I love love love Ornithopter. One of my favourite casts.

@sethzard 2 года назад

Tron being 5th place shows how stacked this list is.

Damn. I had so many of those 4th edition cards when I started playing as a kid

@joejaboy 2 года назад

A little sad you didn't mention the 2 card combo of Triskelion and Mikaeus the Unhallowed. I doubt that combo sees actual competitive play, but I think it's cool that it exists, and I've definitely pulled it off in Commander.

@atk9989 2 года назад

That's why, he seems to ignore the existence of commander, like how he said strip mine is banned/restricted everywhere.

@FrankFrankly711 2 года назад

I still use a lot of these classic cards in my Anti-Artifact Myr Deck and Karn Commander Deck!

@SerathDarklands 2 года назад

Some of my favorite cards are from Antiquities. I love my Su-Chi, and Ornithopter is my favorite artifact ever.

@RestoSexual 2 года назад

Candelabra deserves an honorable mention

@alp627 2 года назад

Was very surprised it didn't make the cut with how much of a deck High Tide used to be

@Risperdali 2 года назад

Oh yeah, I remember running 4 strip mines in every deck I made back in the day. Never played competitively, but around mid-late '96 people would only run one strip mine at most, purely out of courtesy.

@Lovuschka 2 года назад

Triskelion got most of its power by having the Oracle text change completely how it works, though. It enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters now, so it doesn't only gain them when cast.

@zakpodo 2 года назад

Cool point, I never noticed that. It took a hit in that you can no longer spend the counters to ping in response to combat damage though.

@thomashitz3040 Год назад

I am surprised that Candelabra of Tawnos did not make the list.

@ronmarshall1566 2 года назад

In the arts. Looks like Mishra got P Off and burned down his factory to make a workshop!

@Duskrequim 2 года назад

One day WOTC will finally reprint Workshop .... then we can all be able to play with such an awesome card. The fact that this breakdown has only that 1 card that does not have a reprint.. shows us just how much a reprint is needed.

@idlemindedmage6925 2 года назад

Sorry to break it to you. But it's almost definitely on the Reserved List.

@Duskrequim 2 года назад

@@idlemindedmage6925 Yeah... that doesnt change the fact that they need to reprint it. Reserve list is a fake handicap. Its been proven time and time again that OLDER set cards will always go up in value and that reprints will not damage that.

@OrbGoblin 2 года назад

I remember when strip mine hadn't yet been restricted in standard. I'd play these disgusting monoblack decks w/dark rituals, hypnotic spectre, hymn to tourach, and of course strip mine. Just evil... so evil...

@magnesium13 2 года назад

I figured it would be strip mine because I realized how broken it was in my simic lands commander deck. So stupid to blow up 5 lands per turn with some nifty combos

@lemkele1 Год назад

Funfact: Maro revealed that „atog“ was named because this is a anagram of „goat“ the joke: goats eats everything

@crazygermn 2 года назад

Don't know if it would have affected their place, but the Tron lands should have a few more points. They're Pauper legal! Tron has and continues to be a very relevant deck in the format.

@anthonyjennings9506 2 года назад

I checked MTG Top 8 and I only see one point in Pauper for the Tron Lands, one deck in an MTGO Showcase Challenge.
