    First one without an Arabian Nights card! For those wondering about Oubliette from there, the cheapest printing was sitting at $1.79 for the Double Masters version when this video came out. So not even close.
    And every other Arabian Nights common has an under $1 reprint somewhere.

    In the days post Ice Age/Tempest/Alliances, whenever I perused through cards for sale, I pulled out every Darkness and Oubliette I’d run into. Always liked the weird, obscure-yet-powerful cards.
    Darkness is my favorite. The art is awesome and Gigeresque; the quote gives me shivers, and the effect is something no opponent ever expects.

    @venkelos6996 Місяць тому

    I really enjoyed this list! It's funny because Black isn't even my favorite color; I like Blue, and then Black is probably second, but one of my better non-EDH decks is Rat Colony, with several other powerful Rats backing them up. The real reason, though, is a card that says nothing good about me; Sinkhole is one of my literal favorite cards in M:tG.
    It needs to be said that I am not particularly "good" at playing Magic. I'm more reserved, and nonconfrontational, so I'll always prefer a more gimmicky, alternative way to win than just amassing big creatures, and turning sideways. My preferred play group was good with this, but I obviously rarely ever won, and I reached a point where I decided ivDID want to build aggressive, but I still didn't want to do so conventionally. I build what I refer to as my "scorched earth" deck. Basically a Rakdos combination of player burn, and land destruction, hiding behind a wall of Goblins because Earthblighter Priest, and I thought of this because I hate how Green ramps SO WELL. It, too wasn't great, and then we shifted to primarily EDH, which suffered for both competitive multi-player burn AND multi-player LD, since that's frowned upon in the "social contract" Commander entails, but Sinkhole just made me smile.😊 lt's also nice because I sometimes watch these lists, hope to see something I like, and then discover it wasn't good enough to make that list, like Skittles and Infect, somehow, or Sinkhole and Land Destruction cards, so to finally see it get on a list is wonderful, even if my appreciation for a targeted LD card just depicts me as one of the worst type of players, by many people's metrics.

      Stop making me feel old because I was playing when Dark Ritual went from Interrupt to Mana Source! From Mirage to Urza's Saga, Culling the Weak and Dark Ritual were Mana Sources. Prior to that Dark Ritual was an Interrupt like all the Counterspells (yes, even I thought this made no sense). When Wizards overhauled the rules, Interrupts and Mana Sources became Instants.
