The card draw, flicker, haste, and double strike ones saw play, I thought.

in standard back in the day the double striker was the main one in GW human/aggro. One of my first standard decks. The draw guy after being downshifted in a modern masters was in pauper a little.

it's crazy that people would get conned into paying so much money for a useless piece of cardboard. anyways, how's the latest secret lair looking?
I've at least used my secret lairs I bought alot, even forcing deck choices to make sure I can use as many secret lair cards as possible. It is fun that way

I agree with the first two, but AVR did NOT improve Innistrad 1 at all.

And I think in terms of draft none of those were made better.

Yeah I updated the OP to include their title.

I guess Koreans and some parts of the Chinese diaspora don't play draft, only commander?

Being in traditional means it only hits HK and Taiwan. And both LGSs I follow are loving pissed at this. I've known dudes for a literal decade now that do 3-4 drafts a weekend, and have been playing since the 90s and they are PISSED right now

I figured this thread would enjoy this, my brother in law used to work at a game store in the mid 90s and had a box of MTG odds and ends lying around. So I went through them and even though some of the cards were in rough shape, it was a good mix of revised, arabian nights, 4th edition, and ice age. There were some chronicles, the dark, and fallen empires mixed in as well.

Unfortunately no real lottery cards but still a good amount of worthwhile cards.


Here is the notable finds from a quick thumbing through:



And some unopened ice age packs and a revised starter deck:


A Revised Wheel is like 300 bucks now and that doesn't count as a lottery ticket?

it's also a bullshit reason, Seachrome Coast is the only one that needs any flavor wiggling to fit a given setting and they can just invent some flavor text to make it fit like they did with Dragonskull Summit in Ixalan.

I don't know which lore writer has enough blackmail material on R&D to force magic to do so many dumb things because of their dumb stories (no baby dragons on Tarkir, get hosed)
