    Suprised how unpopular this video is. You guys have good production value and the script is well written and researched (the parts that arent improvised i mean). It really shows a love to old magic that brings back how it could have felt to play the game before it became so complex and optimized.

      Thanks! When we started the channel, we committed to avoiding chasing the algorithm - which, it turns out, is pretty difficult for us to do - UA-cam gives us so many metrics, and its hard to fall into the trap of just trying to make them go up. I mean, we're certainly happy to have our videos seen by more people, but we really want this to be a fun thing in our lives - we have day jobs, don't want this to feel like work. As a result, we've remained very excited to keep making videos, but they're of pretty varied lengths, topics, and formats, and that isn't ideal for the recommendation algorithm.

    When I was first playing MTG as a primary school kid - these packets were the cheapest. They were the only boosters I could afford to get after school!
    Such a trip back. Whilst it’s a highly underpowered set - if you make a saprolimg / fungus deck you actually need cards from this set. I remember opening a Night Soil and having no idea what to do with it. But it intrigued me so…

      Oh, absolutely - Built Nemata for EDH a year or two ago, and it's an absolute delight to have saprolings through the ages represented.

      Thanks! We're roughly aiming for one a week, but will almost certainly be interrupted by MagicCon next week :)

    Fallen Empires has my favorite flavor text of any card, the the flavor text on one of the Dwarven Soldiers:
    “Although the Dwarves staunchly defended their walled city-states against the Orcs, their civilization was the first to fall, and its name was sadly lost.”
    -Sarpadian Empires, vol. I
    (the only flavor text that I might rank as better, or equal, is Juzam Djinn: "(....) The night I think is best for hiding all"

    The orc's downside is that they cannot block creatures that could defeat them. I feel they won because they were brave as long as they were on the offensive. Good old "red deck wins" strats.

    This was my fav set by far. As a kid I found so many Fallen Empires cards dirt cheap at conventions... now I know why!
    Great video, stoked for THALLIDS.

      Thanks! The newest Volume is out now, but we didnt' quite get to green - saproling nation coming next, though!

      Thallids and thrulls ftw!
      I'm a teen who loves this set wholeheartedly, so by now I have an Icatian deck, a tide counter deck, a thrull sacrifice deck, and a spore counter deck, all of which use the deckbuilding rules from the time.
