List idea: Top ten WORST expensive MTG cards

@michaelcollins4534 Год назад

Would you count promo or chase variants for that? If so I wonder if the red bordered hidetsugu would make the list

@mikotagayuna8494 Год назад

It warms my heart that the top cards in this list are there not because of the Reserve List but because of pure nostalgia and love for the game. In the end, MtG is not really just about busted cards and pretty jewelry but being able to do cool stuff like summoning angels, consulting demons and fiery donuts.

@nathaniverson9159 Год назад

What's interesting about Sol Ring is that it has a huge price disparity between the original printing and later printings. You can get a copy of it today for roughly $1.50, but the Alpha version is still very expensive. It shows that you can make staples affordable to normal players without damaging the value of the collectibles.

@TheTundraTerror Год назад

It's cute to imagine a world where WotC doesn't care about bleeding it's playbase dry... room for two?

At 15:00 you say that we probably notice a price jump. But the prices shown are the same as before, just the names of the cards are different. So there obviously was a mixup when creating the black box on the right. The real prices, as shown later, are indeed higher, but by the point you say we should have noticed that, those higher prices are not yet revealed :D

@penguinlust6749 Год назад

A relatively recent WotC typo is still causing issues with these lists -- Diamond Valley is a U2 and therefore should be listed as "Rare" as it's the lowest rarity in the set (same as Juzam Djinn, Drop of Honey, etc). However, when WotC migrated their card database to gatherer, the rarity on this card somehow got entered as uncommon. Typos never die. At least scryfall gets it right, as do all the old lists WotC published from 1993 to 2017. For the sake of comparison, both Bazaar and Library are U3s, and are properly labeled as "uncommon". Weirdly, mtgstocks gets it half right, listing it as "uncommon" but then noting that it's a U2, again listing all other U2s as "rare". Oy Vey.

@JD-gk7eh Год назад

I was going to reply to say this!

@JD-gk7eh Год назад

What's interesting is that Bazzar and Library got onto the Reserved List despite not being "rares." Really, they probably shouldn't have been Reserved or removed in 2002 when uncommons were removed from the list. But by that time, LoA was still the second most expensive card in AN and Bazaar was pretty close to it. (Juzam was always #1. Bazaar took a while to get over $100.) That's probably why they didn't remove those cards, they were already really expensive despite being "uncommon."

@Pehr81 Год назад

Where 's The Dark, if you're not making an exception for Arabian Nights shouldn't original Blood Moon and/or City of Shadows make an appearance?

@dagdet Год назад

Would be probably a good idea to split such lists into two parts: modern and pre-modern era. Since it is interesting to see cards outside of vintage and legacy, like fatal push or expressive iteration, but such lists are indeed utterly skewed to older sets. No chances for modern expensive uncommons.

i'd say it would a net positive where cards like ABULD cards with low price reprints(sol ring, birds of paradise, blood moon, karakas and so on) have shown current prices wouldn't have a dramatric drop in price and players would have access to them, then i remember magic 30th... And there's an above 0 chance that the set was made precisely for that

@kurtilein3 Год назад

@@odioalospoopers Wizards would not survive the lawsuit based purely on the price drop in these ugly faded revised dual lands. You can fight and win a lawsuit based purely on the price drop in these, and claw back every cent you lost due to any of the revised duals dropping in price.

My mom wanted to buy me cards for xmas 1 yr n was at the LGS n called my brother to ask him wut to buy n just started saying card names. She had put him on the spot n he reacted to Force of Will with a lil more enthusiasm cuz he recognized the name. She hung up on him before he could explain anything else n that is how i got a single copy of the best counterspell in the game to go in wut is probably my worst 60 card deck hut also my favourite :P it was 70 back then. I like how I tend to always have at least 1 of the cards in ur expensive lists. For the first time ever I disagree with ur criteria for this list. I don't think u should've included Uncommon 2 cards with they were the rares of their time. Like u said with alk the tip spot, it is cuz they r on the reserve list that the price is so high but that list is to protect rares. They r protected, ergo they were the "rares" of that set. I would've liked to see wut could've made the list had u not included reserve list cards

@TheFaithfulAtheist Год назад

@apjapki Год назад

I kind of love the sword and shield icons from Portal sets. I'd happily see them on all cards.

@frankvandorp2059 Год назад

One thing all of these cards share (except Serra Angel, which really is $0.04 of course) is that they've never been reprinted at uncommon. Most were upshifted to outright mythics. Because, you know, WOTC totally isn't looking at the secondary market when designing reprint sets "for limited". It's just that cards like Force of Will, Ancient Tomb and Enlightened Tutor would be warping those formats, those are notoriously strong in limited, right? That's the only reason, honestly. Believe them.

@stevenglowacki8576 Год назад

Ancient Tomb is probably really good in Limited, although I suppose it's not ridiculously strong like a lot of bomb rare and mythics are, which I guess is your main point, so OK.

@besslerclement3811 Год назад

I have a question, if you milled Su-chi, did you still get the mana?

@aritzmartinezrodriguez1825 Год назад

No. Old text says "its controller gains...". Only permanents in play and spells on the stack have controllers. It would affect cards in the library if it said "owner". And new text only says: when Su-chi dies,... So I am not even sure how it worked with spells back in the day, because spells have controllers, so with the old text (I think) you would also get the 4 mana if Su-chi gets countered.

@CruentusDK1 Год назад

Totally worthless rares might be interesting. Love seeing that a couple Fallen Empires cards actually made this list. So many of the old ones from my first years of playing are soo terrible by todays standards. Since the Dark, Fallen Empires, and 3rd edition were the cards I first started playing with, I always try to slip in a few cards from these sets into newer stuff, but most can't even compete. Serra Angel and Sengir Vampire the staple creatures of the time, both flying, 4/4, having special abilities, 5 casting cost, and 2 devotion. You used to be able to look at a card and know what it should cost to cast. Now I think they just roll the dice when creating cards.

@andrewsparkes6275 Год назад

Could you re-do all of these price lists at some point, but using the cheapest version of each card instead? Because no-one in their right mind would ever call Serra Angel an "expensive uncommon" overall. These lists get kinda boring when we know the most expensive of anything will just be an expensive Alpha version or Judge Promo of an everyday cheap card, or something on the Reserved List. But it'd be way more interesting knowing what's the most actually-expensive card even if we were searching for the cheapest version of a card to put in a deck.

@kurtilein3 Год назад

I disagree about the sets that "technically have no rares". There was no rare sheet, but cards could appear on the uncommon sheet exactly once, making them rare by any definition, or several times, making them less rare. These cards clearly are the rarest cards in these sets, some sources simply call them rares, while others differentiate between U1, U2 and U3.
