The saddest but yet funniest thing about the reserved list is that other card games have absolutely no issue with reprinting cards and succeeding as a hobby. They fail as an investment compared to MtG, but they're better as a hobby.
Pokemon is more succeful as an investment. Mostly while being worse as a hobby since the gameplay is overall agreed to be pretty bad. And ultimatly the reserved list is the byproduct of a very particular moment in MTG following the release of chronicles, with magic still being amongst the top (if not the top) card game in terms of gameplay. Given, expensive if you want to go and stay competitive. But in part that just circles back to how much people value it as a hobby.
Speaking as an entrenched Magic player, this was equal parts delightful and surreal. It's great to see people simply enjoy the cards as pieces of art... and bizarre to see the utter lack of recognition and familiarity of some early icons. In all, this was a lot of fun. Thank you for it; I'm glad the algorithm pointed me to it.
As a mtg player this video is already hilarious like 5 minutes in. magic as Ph.D. Richard Garfield intended. Good ol' revised. Also good ol' dual lands and power nine.
I should note I do it generally quite competitively I'm a cEDH, Canadian Highlander, and legacy player so all these cards are cards I know. Love them 99% are absolutely dogshit.
Thanks to this video I discovered a card I'm going to add to my commander deck lmao, dredge skeletons, the 1 mana 1/1 that regenerates for 1, in a mutate deck it should work fine
A green enchantment with the World supertype that grants *haste?* A counterspell that forces you to tap out all your lands? Man, the design space back then was truly a wild west.
@@IceMetalPunk I still think about the fact they banned Juggernaut in the same ban announcement as black lotus and demonic tutor when they made extended. Wild times.
My 5 year old is obsessed with you and your content Ryder, and he's been showing interest in learning to play magic with me. Please tell me I'll be able to buy one of those mats, it'd blow his mind
I had an uncle who passed away before I was born who had a crazy magic collection. I'm talking thousands of revised edition cards. We used to have a box of about ~300 that my cousins and I used to play with at my great aunt's house, before I told her that on of the dual-type land cards (tundra I believe) was worth hundreds on its own. 😂
I actually have a fair amount of Revised Edition cards. I used to have a full set of RE Circles of Protection, but they were lost some years ago when my briefcase full of decks was stolen out of my car. EDIT: I also used to have a Forest that said "Tap to add [G] to your mana pool." It, too, was in that briefcase.
Matpat out here just fulfuilling peoples dreams in retirement. I love you matpat, i cried when you retired, and it was one of the only times I've cried over a celebrity.
Crazy to watch people who don’t know anything about magic open some of the most historically significant cards in the history of trading cards as a hobby. For anyone who wants to see a cool contrast, the Professor over at the Tolarian Community College UA-cam channel opened one of these a while ago but he has been with magic since this set actually came out (it was his first) and knows a lot about the game both in history and modern times. The difference between how two people can enjoy the same cards of the same game is wild to see
Note: Whilst they are tournament legal, they've not been legal in any RCQ or similar "pro league" tournament for a long time. Whilst vintage, commander, and oathbreaker (Well, for Oathbreaker just Demonic Tutor, not Sol Ring; plus in Vintage they're both restricted) are all official formats and you *can* run WotC-sanctioned tournaments with them, WotC themselves aren't the ones going around running them. I'd imagine that's where the confusion comes from (especially seeing MtG is kind of unique with *how* many official formats it has)
@@zachariahmerry2396 wotc still runs an eternal weekend every year that has vintage tournaments, including exclusive promos. the european one was just last week actually
Didn’t expect foafy to be a wubby fan but he really outed himself in this lmao Also! With these starter decks any spot in the deck can be a common land, so the lands in the uncommon spot aren’t “uncommon lands” they’re just eating up a spot for an uncommon, and they can be in rare spots too which really sucks
About Play Formats There are A LOT of different formats, but the big competitive formats are: Legacy - You can use any card from any set not on the banlist. Vintage - Basically Legacy, but with a far smaller banlist and if you use modern cards you get laughed at. Modern - Only cards printed/reprinted in 2008 or later. Standard - Only cards printed/reprinted within the last couple years. Draft - You crack packs at the table and take a card and pass the packs around and create a deck on the fly. Note: Cards with silver borders are not allowed in competitive play unless the tournament is explicitly about silver-bordered sets, no matter when they were printed.
9:35 to answer the question that is asked here. Kind of. There are formats where the most powerful cards like sol ring and demonic tutor do see play because magic has lots of formats depending on where the cutoff is for cards being legal and what cards are banned or restricted. you won't really see Sol ring and demonic tutor in an official tournament as the only formats where sol ring and demonic tutor are legal either don't have official tournaments in the case of commander or are so prohibitively expensive as a format that official tournaments are never ran because no one could afford to play the official cards. you might still have unofficial vintage tourneys with proxied cards though.
this was cool to see, two people incredibly unfamiliar with MTG just basking in the vintage stuff. I kinda want you to have an mtg expert on to show off some of the best examples of MTG artwork and artists, craziest cards every printed, that sort of thing. that'd be fun to see! like shaharazad, probably the single most ridiculous card game card ever made. hilarious that it exists, but also completely unsurprisingly banned in literally every single format it can possible be banned in.
I was in middle school when Magic the Gathering came out. You guys make me feel really old. This "Revised" set that you're gushing over was considered trash back then. I've opened hundreds of packs from this era, the best card I saw I think was the "Royal Assassin". I highly recommend you try to learn the game, it was and still is a great pastime for me.
This is just a reminder to me that I need to binge a lot of Foafy videos that I've been meaning to watch... 👀 To be fair, life comes at you fast sometimes and your UA-cam watch time goes waaayy down, but still!
no the one ring is not a reprint of anything it's a new original problem card. also circle of protection: blue hasn't been printed in over 20 years with eighth edition

"My hips hurt."
@GrimCharon the magic historian reference?!
I'm happy to know that even though Matpat is retired from the Theorist channels, He's still doing stuff with his friends.
he said he was retired from youtube, and yet here he is.
@@deadponic117no he didn’t, he said he was retiring as the face of the theory channels, not that he was leaving UA-cam completely.
And he's happy about it so that makes it all the better! He's retired but he is enjoying his retirement!
Foafy: " I need you for a video."
MatPat: "You foot of a ferret, I'm in."
The saddest but yet funniest thing about the reserved list is that other card games have absolutely no issue with reprinting cards and succeeding as a hobby. They fail as an investment compared to MtG, but they're better as a hobby.
😂 most of them are just as bad as MTG in different ways
@@richardhicks5031 I've yet to hear about any of the other card games have decks that steadily hold $2-3K for decades.

lol ill never forget the first time my friend pulled it on me lol
The first turn one kill combo
I mean.. MatPat didn't *need* to be here... but the chemistry was fun to watch for 51 minutes ^^

until the wubby clip i was thinking the whole time. "this guy is a wubby fan"

Matthew Ratthew Patthew my beloved! Welcome back
Matt and Ash questioning why they did this every 2 minutes is beautiful
"Sounds like a president" He actually was descended from President Garfield!
He's here, he's there, he's everywhere! Who you gonna call? Psychic friend MatPat 😂
FOAFYS BACK!!! oh and that other guy ... Patthew Matrick
that oversized lotus could worth up to 800 dollars depending on condition

7:53 I'm a simple man: I see Uncle Istvan and I'm happy. Truly one of the uncle istvans of all time.
Absolute highlight of my day!! Thank you for cheering me up with this video unintentionally. Love to watch your vids!!
Don't you ever dare leave UA-cam, MatPat. You are its all time ultimate star.
These two and magic isn’t exactly what I was expected, but I am excited
A surprise to be sure,but a welcome one
Grade that oversized lotus! Get that gorgeous thing in a slab nice and safe. (It might actually be worth a bunch!)
9:58 yes, sol ring and demonic tutor are still heavily played competitive staples to this day
Both cards are bans most competitive formats and mostly see play in commander a non competitive format
Man I love magic, never watched this channel but hell yeah!
Subbed!!! Also love that MatPat is now like a planeswalker just showing up in other planes of existence to help others reach their goals
I actually have a fair amount of Revised Edition cards. I used to have a full set of RE Circles of Protection, but they were lost some years ago when my briefcase full of decks was stolen out of my car.

Honestly the plus 1 or plus 2 is so funny, hope you learn magic more, and just have fun with it, loved the collab
This is my favourite combo of UA-camrs. Definitely can't miss a foafy video but Matt makes it better.
Even people who play mtg have trouble understanding the early cards because the wording of cards was not yet streamlined or defined
My two favorite things in one video! MatPat and Magic!
i want matpat to be a resident of the foafy channel
Their chemistry is so perfect
I have fond memories of watching Matpat videos with my son. He is 18 now. This takes me back.
35:00 they've also collabed with MLP FiM !!
"You know what, thats it, im done"
*Ungatherings your magic*
They did llanowar elves so dirty
26:45 TIM!!!
I was looking to see if anyone was gonna say it!!! gotta love Tim.
25:37 Renegades and Jukebox Heroes Tour mentioned, instant sub
Man MTG is amazing, love all of these old cards
aww always good to see matpat. thanks for doing this ❤️ love you guys
"i dont like to talk price a lot" gets some of the pricest cards in MTG in a sealed product
Its always hilarious seeing people collect something they dont understand
Imagine a card game being affordable
Grandpat YEAH
This is wholesome and im behind more of this content, just other youtubers let mat rest my guy

Sol Ring and Demonic Tutor are played competitively today 9:43
Note: Whilst they are tournament legal, they've not been legal in any RCQ or similar "pro league" tournament for a long time.

This has to be one of the best videos on UA-cam omg
This is anarchy and I LOVE IT
HE'S BACK (for this video)
0:29
MatPat confirmed the Springtrap/William Afton of UA-cam! He always comes back
Didn’t expect foafy to be a wubby fan but he really outed himself in this lmao
Also! With these starter decks any spot in the deck can be a common land, so the lands in the uncommon spot aren’t “uncommon lands” they’re just eating up a spot for an uncommon, and they can be in rare spots too which really sucks
They are uncommon as they were printed on the uncommon sheet, only later did basics get their own sheet.
Prodigal sorcerer Tim!!!
Hey MatPat! My kids miss you on the theory channels.
Just want to let you know how much they enjoyed your content. Hope you see this.
I LOVE MAGIC THE GATHERING RAAAHHHHHH
As an og player, a lot of this hurt. Though I appreciate that they enjoyed the art
My favorite line: target creature gets +1 or +2
We got MatPat MtG before GTA 6
Man, it's great to see grandpa matpat in a video again after retirement
MATPAT WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH BRO ❤❤❤ YOU'RE THE GOAT!
FOAFY YOU'RE AMAZING TOO! WE LOVE YOU AS WELL :D
matpat has like oblivion npc reactions to what he's saying
Matpat... save me...
Matpat
Save me Matpat
The irony is by retiring from UA-cam, MatPat has opened up his schedule for guest appearances on other UA-cam channels
Im havin a stroke, im so happy watching matpat again
2:19 man it's been such a long time since I've seen a clap and a half
I see your jumbo black lotus and raise you my black lotus from Duel Masters. (the fact that is a thing still amuses me)
I played magic today at school, which is cool
“Welcome to the 90’s. Don’t forget to grab a slap bracelet on your upkeep.”
ash will remember that
"Just when i thought i was out, they pulled me back in" -matpat

Asks matpat to use his set to open magic packs infront of him lmao 😂😂😂😂

Is Matpat ever truely going to retire? no he going to become the Jim Carry of UA-cam at this rate XD
Many things presented here were great tries but misses on the facts and timeline... but was still good to watch
Omg they are on the couch! 😂 This almost feels like a GTLive episode or something 😂😅
Edit: AND THEY DID A CLAP AND A HALF!!!
