1:02:20 True for me. Started playing with Beta and Unlimited. Cringed when Fallen Empire came out, stopped when Ice Age came out because I felt that WTG went from game compagnie to just milking players for money. Sold all my cards and never came back.
39:50 Also the end game of playing your own second Kokusho, the Evening Star to hit your opponent for a twenty point swing! (-10 / +10 )
I don't get how you guys don't have more views. This is the best sires about Magic on the internet.
Teferis puzzle box (one of the later printings) was the first rare that I looked at and said, Wow, this card is so cool, and it cemented my love of magic. Might be my favorite card of all time
How has North Star gone under the radar as the worst card ever? Sorrow's Path at least has some agency to it. North Star basically reads, "Target opponent get's 2 extra turns. Cast a Lightning Bolt. Can't be cast until turn 5."
I actually played in that tournament.
We need an updated Raksha the Slayer. He had potential, and did a good job back in the day slowing down vampires.
oubliette is my old school choice for sideboarding out Terror when playing black vs black
Day/Night is just awful.
it’s so funny to see cedric so annoyed at the coolest things ever
What about Banding? Like if went to eternal weekend, I’m intentionally picking spikey and older players, you’d probably only get like 10% of them who could tell you how it works.
The worst mechanic ever has to be stickers. It was so annoying and laborious to just play with that all the cards with the mechanic got banned even though only one of them was remotely playable. No other mechanic has come close to being that bad imo.
Hey what if we put stickers on cards but as a joke...... and then made them tournament legal.
The Initiative is the worst mechanic in Magic. Even if companion might be worse, at least there is a glimmer of something cool about companion. It's a cool idea, even if it is broken and should have never made it past the 'what if' stage. There is nothing redeemable about the initiative.
I actually thing the initiative play patterns are interesting and skill testing many times
@@GeoQuagthe play pattern is just “attack with something they can’t block and then don’t let them hit you back” and jf you untap with it you win
Venture into the dungeon is the problem, not initiative. If anything, the initiative is a really cool way to way to make venture into the dungeon remotely good, and copies other mechanics like Monarch.
Sweep, Companion, Epic, Eminence, yeh
Phasing
My pick is always going to be gotcha from unhinged. Imagine making a set that is meant to be fun and silly, and then putting a mechanic in the set that encourages players to shut up and avoid laughing and talking about the jokes. Truly terrible
in my opinion the worst mechanics are ante, for potentially being literally illegal and just stressful to play, and gotcha because I don't want to pay attention to whether someone said a number.
To be fair, playing for keeps was a big thing with kids’ games and games in general back then. I agree with you it is misguided and messy, but only if Garfield could have foreseen what his game would become. What is always hilarious to think about is the kids that must have lost black lotus in a 90’s tabletop ante game 😂😂
Rampage belongs on the messed up cardfile list not the worst mechanics one. It was originally named berserk and intended to let a creature attack n times, plus only the first swing could be blocked. The problem was berserk was already a card name and they thought extra phases would be too confusing
Idk companion has to be up there because it turns every single format into commander. And if you dont like that format you probably shouldn't be forced to play it. I dont think its a problem with rate on lurrus or yorian. On principle I really dont think any of them should be legal in modern but here we are.
"Is that commander ? Who cares" 😂🤣😅😅🤣😂
My worst mechanic ever is Gotcha. Sure it's an Un-set mechanic, but that almost makes it worse, you know? The designers didn't have to worry about power level or Limited at all, their ONLY job was to make a fun mechanic and they made the most viscerally uncomfortable mechanic of all time. At least for Epic and Ante you can just choose not to engage with them, Gotcha is just "my opponent played this and now life is miserable."
Haunt...
This thumbnail is fire btw
Hellbent pretty horrid
hellbent isn't even the worst mechanic in its set
No way it’s awesome! I have a Rakdos Hellbent deck that’s awesome! I dump my hand with Hellbent cards and then Delirium Skeins to nuke your hand! Seagate Wreckage keeps you drawing.
I strongly believe the worst mechanic is "Eminence" Imagine companion, except you don't even have to cast it to get the value. You just get it, for free
Fortunately this never came into play in cube or constructed, but in commander I have no doubt you're right
Enduring Ideal is a very cool card and a fun idea.
Companion was them, I think, just trying to draw commander players into 60 card formats for the money and it's obvious with the powerlevel of some of them.
I like Cipher as a mechanic flavorfully, as it fits Dimir so well, but when the mechanic allows for a spell to be recast ad infinitum, it has to be really powered down or overcosted because the sweet spot of fun but not broken is razorthin. Cipher would have benefited from the Arena era where they could rebalance any broken cipher cards, or juice some of them up.
But then you still have the problem of being forced to play Alchemy 🤢 🤮
companion is my favorite limited mechanic of all time
Lurrus is stuck in my mind as "the first card banned in vintage during my lifetime"
I am constantly amazed that they had to add THREE mana to a card and it still needed a ban in vintage
Only card banned for power level reasons (last time I checked), as opposed to Ante and Conspiracy and that sort of thing.
@@iamdadodowell it’s legal now
@@BarginsGalorethey changed the way it worked…
I think the big takeaway from discussing mechanics that are unfun is that they so often lead to repetition. Dredge, epic, companion to a degree. These all lead the player to taking the same actions, casting the same spells over and over. I’ve always been a bit anti scry/surveil because knowing what I’m drawing next takes away the excitement and the surprise of what’s to come.
Undiscovered paradise shouldn't be that bad with winter orb. You can untap a different land and bounce the tapped Undiscovered paradise. Letting you have 2 untapped lands compared to hopefully one of your opponents.
This will alwats be what i feel magic is, this era was special, it had soul to the card design and flavor, its hard to replicate and despite the broken stuff it still felt more like a work of art
DUUUUDE, THE ISLAND? Timmy was the one
It's hard for me to overstate how important the rarity colors were to me as a young player Before this, I knew that there were rare cards because I would walk into a local card store and individual cards would be crazy expensive. But in my young brain that just kind of put Magic cards into 2 buckets; it was either 1) a card I could potentially own or 2) a mythical class of cards that I would almost never see and maybe I might have 1 or 2 of in my whole collection. When the actual rarity colors came out it was then obvious to me that rare cards were something I could obtain and getting a rare symbol on one of my cards made me feel like I suddenly had this mythological power in my collection. Even if I hadn't figured out how to unlock it from a particular card yet. This was a sea change and what I felt I could do as a player with a limited bankroll.
I'm realizing, as a kid my friend group played MtG as a social thing together more than a hobby. We missed expansions all the time (I don't recall opening Exodus, if I did it wasn't much.) and it was really only on and off in HighSchool we actively tried to make decks that were competitive at our LGS, and caring about things like "standard" and "rotation" seemed alien. Why would we engage in something that told us most of collection was useless? On the surface that seemed like a gimmick to us. But off and on as we were, we stuck to the game for a long time. Playing the same game where we keep buying new cards and went to Friday Night Magic repeatedly, from 11 years old to 18, is kind of wild.
Love the Avs hoodie
The dark would have had some killer basic land arts if we got them.
Vision and Karn are versions of the Hebrew Golem.
16 yo Patrick like the lady having a panic attack in Airplane! in that multiplayer match.
We invented indoor plumbing, HVAC, and comfy beds so that we DON'T have to go camping
Heyp this is some real mtg
Thanks for the shoutout on Bombardment
12:13 The mono black stax deck with Ensnaring Bridge is great and brutal. It plays Bottomless Pit to empty both players' hands, and 3x Megrim as a win-con after you lock them out of the game.

Love this series and duo so much, I've been binge watching since the beginning, but I just wanted to say as someone who started playing MTG during this era, I am so glad to hear I am not the only person who never understood banding
