To be fair, it's actually pretty cool that Maro wrote two episodes of Roseanne. It's also hilarious. Anyway, Mirage good. What set should we do next?

@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761 5 лет назад

Homelands

@markusabelius 5 лет назад

Alliances please. best non-basic land card frames imo came around this era (grey marble with a subtle purple trim is just chef's kiss). also think some of those are very much EDH playables. a lot of my pet non-basic land cards growing up are from this set like Kjeldoran Outpost, Lake of the Dead and Thawing Glaciers

@shotokantiger4982 5 лет назад

Keep it going with visions

@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 5 лет назад

Alliances, Ice Age, Visions. Hivis of The Scale is pretty fun, tap to steal a dragon, I had fun stealing people's Volcanic dragons:P

Mirage has, hands-down, the best art of any set.

@taco_ninja187stacocart4 5 лет назад

I think you should do a lot more of these types of videos. Either way, I think you're awesome. Definitely my favorite channel. Keep up the great work!

@Songfugel 5 лет назад

I really enjoyed flanking and phasing, I think they were really fun and different. And flanking was actually really powerful vs weenie/tokens

@Utubesuxmycock 5 лет назад

flanking cool knights!

@hermodnitter3902 5 лет назад

Then you should build a Telim'Tor commander deck!

@SkeletonsYouControlHaveHaste 5 лет назад

I stopped playing standard, but I remained subscribed to you, I'm really glad I did because I love when you make these videos. Your content is always top notch and you help shed light on the past, present, and future of magic the gathering, from standard to edh, to pre-release guides, you rock dev! Please keep making videos like this, they're really cool.

@AThousandSons1 5 лет назад

This is an excellent series idea! As an edh player and a sucker for old cards I hope there will be moreof these for classic sets!

@calvinball1 3 года назад

This video is a great retrospective. I loved being brought back to the time and place of the set then talking about the legacy of it. For those of us who were in their mtg prime at a young age when this set came out, it's as iconic as any.

@shadytoews7450 5 лет назад

You’re the man dev. I’m teetering On giving up on magic but your videos and info and decktecks and just overall good vibes keep me brewing and coming back for more

@tyroneshoelaces315 5 лет назад

Some of my favorite basics in this set. Pumped to see them in arena

@Baektas 5 лет назад

@BobbyxZx 4 года назад

i love mining the 90's sets for commander gold. it's so nostalgic and actually a really sweet way to tilt the table. when i returned to the game last year, i immediately purchased a grinning totem and rainbow lands so i could abuse it in my muldrotha edh :) i would ask for weatherlight next, since it has so many off the wall cards.

@odogzero 5 лет назад

Here I am Dev! Spreading love and being kind! Thanks for all you do brother. Keep it going

@hodge102174 5 лет назад

Great spotlight on edh and how Mirage still has an impact on todays format. Everyone should see this video.

@Shadowcloak 5 лет назад

That was so awesome, Dev. Mirage is one of my favorite sets, not just because it was the set when I first started playing, but because it felt so aesthetically different from previous Magic sets. I always remember Zuberi, Golden Feather because not only did it awaken the Tribal Timmy in me as my first legendary card, but also because it taught me about the importance of curving out (turns out Griffin decks weren't so good because they were all 4 mana 2/2 fliers) - and in fact, it made me so happy to see SaffronOlive win Commander Clash with Zuberi =) I was actually going to complain loudly about not seeing Teferi's Realm on the list, but then I realized it was actually from Visions. Personally I would love to see these videos about Visions and Weatherlight, and just have my heart explode with nostalgia.

@Shadowcloak 5 лет назад

Also how could not even mention THAT FLAVOR TEXT ON REPARATIONS

@crovax1375 5 лет назад

For the longest time Grinning Totem was my favorite card from the set. I was so happy when I opened one in a starter pack. And thank you for the shout out for Shauku Endbringer!

@mx.winterwolf 5 лет назад

For anyone who liked the idea of Lure of Prey, there's a card called Dramatic Entrance that for 3GG, you just get to put a green creature from your hand into play (just like Lure of Prey) but there isn't a restriction on when you can cast it. It's just 3GG Instant You may put a green creature card from your hand into the battlefield

@drakeconsumerofsoulsandche5761 5 лет назад

There's also garruk

@thefrizmeister3666 5 лет назад

Awesome vid dev! I never got to play this set but I but I always wanted too and I've always loved the art and I feel like this is as close as I'll get

@Nirmithya23 5 лет назад

Thanks for the walk down memory lane- especially that Circle of Despair. How I loved that card.

@pterydactyl6572 5 лет назад

Seeds of Innocence is pretty good too, artifact board wipe for only three mana. It's a really nice tool in mono-green creature decks.

I loved Mirage. I was so excited when it came out. I started playing with Ice Age but Mirage came out right after I finished my first summer job. I remember being so excited to not have to ask my dad for the money to buy magic cards.

@Swordstoplowshares 5 лет назад

Yes!!! This is the set that introduced me to magic. I still love these cards!

@DonovanPresents 5 лет назад

Wait a minute... Other people (than myself) love Jungle Patrol?!?! That's so cool! A year or two ago I got Mark Pool to sign my copy of Jungle Patrol and he told me when I asked him to sign it "I forgot I did this card" or something of that nature 😂

@ShareloveT 5 лет назад

Couldn’t agree more on hall of gemstone. Love that card!

@jefff6007 5 лет назад

Dude, Dev, I was trying to pause the vid to read the text about Waiting in the "Wings" so I slowed down the video to 50% speed. And it sounds hilarious. You sound so drunk! Give it a shot sometime if you want a good laugh

@fidly4 4 года назад

Tombstone stairwell gives EVERYONE zombies on EACH upkeep, meaning they have zombies to block with even if you get to attack first. But, it's AMAZING in aristocrats because it means you're getting death triggers equal to the number of creatures in your graveyard on every end step.

@ghettronentertainment2259 5 лет назад

Dev, seriously, Thank You.

That’s cool I haven’t played mtg since that set. I had alpha, beta, Arabian all those sets. I think I sold them all for a dub sack! Girls and drugs were more appealing at 16. I do miss those times. Great video though, oh to be young again.

I've been playing tomb stone stairwell for years, I combine it with noxious ghoul or with Eldrazi monument, lol it works with so much, love it tons of fun ~

I actually love mirage as a set (even though I never played this set when it came out because I was just a baby back then) for commander pieces!

@peterklein3354 5 лет назад

I love phasing. I think the design space is actually very interesting, with a new kind of exile zone. Things don't fall off and etb don't trigger when phasing in. It's actually an easy mechanic to learn and very different from other mechanics. Unfortunately the most cards with flanking weren't that interesting. And look at Teferi's Protection - this card is sweeeet!

@joshbowdish9851 5 лет назад

I had to pause this video like 18 times to read those ridiculous text boxes lol

@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 5 лет назад

Mirage was the first set I got into and then they introduced the stack soon after I figured out how to play LOL. Mirage had so much flavor and the art was PERFECT, the new Dominaria set didn't quite hit that sweet spot that Mirage created :P

I missed „Grim Feast“ in this video, it‘s a dominating card in my Glissa, the Traitor deck anytime it comes down.

@xrfreedom 5 лет назад

Holy Guacamole!!! Soul reaver was so awesome!!!!

@pyronicdesign 5 лет назад

You said phasing was garbage. But when it came out, phasing was incredible. They made it crappy with an errata. If you play a cards as written format phasing triggers etb effects. Also my pick from merage is phatom warrior. 1/1 human warrior with when this creature blocks or becomes blocked it and creature blocked or blocking it phase out. Basically, the world's best chump blocker.

@claytonmauldin1113 5 лет назад

Seriously man, Where do you find these shirts? I need help finding some!

@AspelShuyin 5 лет назад

I mean, you'll still need more than just plains with Celestial Dawn, since you've got to draw it from the 99 and a five colour deck is going to want to live until then. I find that Ravnica, Alara, and Tarkir tap lands are good for budget builds.

@briceblansett6613 5 лет назад

i use unfulfilled desires in my sidisi deck to loop golgari brownscale. it's 1 mana, gain 1 life, mill 2, usually make a zombie

@ryanquinn1257 5 лет назад

I have so many mirage cards just because I loved the art and set symbol haha. Harbinger of night going in animatou

@kaidimino9858 5 лет назад

Not necessarily in this video, but I Noticed an uptick across several months of random self-deprecating jokes(?), and I personally love that kind of thing. It’s a defense mechanism for myself, but I don’t know if it’s on brand for you. If your ending tag line is “Spread Love, and Be Kind” I don’t think then that self-deprecating humor is right for your content. Also I think you’re a swell dude, so please remember to love yourself. We do.

Manuel Sacha we were all new once! To answer your questions: all black-bordered (non-unset) ones, yes it does (you can use scryfall’s “search by format legality” to easily filter for that), and it’s a singleton format except for basic lands and cards that specifically say you can have as many of them as you want (think shadowborn apostles, mostly)

So, Omnath, Locus of Mana and Hall of Gemstone suddenly sounds pretty sweet...

@Sealdeam 5 лет назад

Hall of Gemstone also has a disgusting interaction with an artifact called Mana Web, it not only forces them to use only one color of mana but also forces them to either use all their land-based mana at the same time or not at all; not a hard lock but still pretty nice for a green stax deck.
