It was a draft with oversized 9x6 promotional cards that they used to have as store display pieces, and someone realized that larger cards made chaos orb easier. They also picked up a "Guardian Beast" in the draft and were able to keep chaos orb-ing over and over.

I own a Chaos Orb. Took the store I bought it from 4 months to find a copy, and its a CE, though personally I love gold border. Its special. One time years ago, friends of mine let me use Karn the Great Creator to wish for the Orb in a game of EDH (we let wishes work the way they were intended in our play group). I then played it and followed it up with a Darksteel Forge. Since Orb was made before sacrifice as a mechanic was created it would destroy itself on use, but since it was indestructible I could just spam activations. Though I used the Oldschool 93/94 errata that makes chaos orb solo target while still requiring the flip, it was devastating and won me the game. Very fun card, and I use my two 93/94 decks to teach new players as they are well balanced against each other. Its a really fun format, even if I have to proxy some power.

Thank you for the reference that the game was being put together in 1991. I had been mixing the cards from multiple board games together around that time. When a game was started players drew 7 cards from the single pile of cards placed in the center of the board. Cards could be played during your turn as replacements for rolling the dice. There were blank cards that were used as "Counter-spells". You can see why i wondered for years if it were possible to have inspired MTG by doing that. Good to know that that's very unlikely. Still a true story and i recommend mixing a bunch of different board game cards together and playing any of those games with that mix. Very fun using "Wrong" cards from one game in another game they still work for.

Competitive play is for hardcore deck builders and people who own a large assortment of cards/can afford to buy a large assortment of cards. New players want to: 1. Play casually without any stakes. 2. Collect good cards cheaply (not pay $50+ for a single card) 3. Be able to play without having to slave away learning every intricacy of the game in order to build a deck thats viable in the current meta. Being thrown into the deep end and being told “just build a deck” when you still have no idea how many lands should go in any given deck….. not very inviting. Thank god they sell preconstructed commander decks and starter kits. A new player has EVERY reason to avoid the sweat of competitive magic and go straight to arena with a code to upload their starter deck, and then start slipping cards into their deck as they go along and unlock them, And then hopefully they do the same with the physical deck (Recommend they upgrade the commander precon deck, because standard is dead…. Feel free to throw some of those starter deck cards in your commander deck) Competitive play simply needs a better, more beginner friendly community, Instead of, lets be real, looking for noobs to stomp because y’all are bored of playing the same old meta decks against eachother. The real fun is in commander, with things like Planechase. I side with the new players. Screw competitive play. Its what gives the game a bad wrap. Remember richmond crackstyle? Yeah, those are competitive players…… another reason to avoid, right? Right…. Pants up, and play casually, in a way where everyone gets to have fun instead of just one player🤙

​@@nicks4802Yeah, even with me getting a touch bored of commander, I still don't want to touch modern (the only other format lets be real), due to the insane meta, insane deck costs (I don't like proxies, I like having my actual cards, but not the worst), and then, obviously a smaller and more abrasive community. Like it's no wonder I and many other people starting in the last year or two only play commander

​@@blujay1294If your getting bored of commander is recommend Oathbreaker. I've played a few games and it's pretty fun. While still pretty close to commander the changes are enough to make it a distinct experience.

One of my all-time favorite old school cards. Love the artwork and design of the card. I bought a cheap proxy of it a while ago. It may not be the original card print, but it's still something I cherish.

In 2015-2017, I was working at UPenn as an adjunct. One of my classes was in the building where Garfield and his colleagues worked back in the day. And yes, I own an Alpha Orb and I did flip it onto the table a few time between classes, because I know my history of the game as well.

I heard about this story all the way in East Texas where I went to college. Didn't know the guy was actually disqualified though...everyone said he won that way. Old school magic was the best. Too bad WotC did it a massive disservice with the reserve list. Once money became the goal the game was never the same.

Yet again, another truly masterful deep dive into a tiny narrow scope of magic lore that I could soak up all day. Absolutely masterful as usual 💯 The worst part about your videos is that I only get one chance to watch them for the first time.
