Keep in mind that back when the game was new and "Protection from [color]" was reasonably common, a time when color changing actually had a clear (non-broken) purpose and was relatively common, most of the color changing cards only let you change cards into colors *you already had* . Best case scenario, you're a multi-color deck with key combat creatures in one color, but more likely useless. Except for Black being immune to certain Black removal, I can't think of another card from early sets that both interacts with the color of something already on the board and isn't terrible.

i also like worldly tutor. i got a spike feeder combo deck where around turn 5 or so or sooner maybe, i gain infinite life and have infinitely large spike feeder on the board. 4 birds of paradise, then the rest of the deck is 50 50, 50 percent spike feeder and creature tutors, and the other 50 percent is the cards that combo with spike feeder to gain infinite life and make infinitely large spike feeder.
As a person happy to see standard alive at my locals for the first time in over half a decade, my boros mice deck is brutally strong, and its in no small part to Sheltered by Ghosts.
Dust to Dust suffers in commander because white has no problem taking care of those things, even repeatedly for much less money and often on synergistic permanents that help your strategy in other ways. It being old also makes it so a lot of people just haven't heard of it, seen it in action or had any thought of it. If it's not EDH Rec-ommended, it's not going to make a lot of decks. Lol
Honestly, I would have expected some more expensive cards to top the list. But hey, I won't complain. Enlightened Tutor is a damn staple, good thing it's not a $500 card. Unfortunately, I have no doubt that most if not all of the cards on "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" will be $100+. Or maybe not. Only one way to find out!
I'm from germany and i really like your videos, but jesus these Card Kingdom prices arent for real! Im getting like the first card the "Templar Knight" for 0,05 Cents in Europe 😅in NM in english language! I guess you know the other website.
I have no idea where you are getting the knight that cheap. Less than in the video, sure. But 5 cents? I wonder if Commander is less popular in Europe.
Yeah watch out for prices on things like card kingdom; they game their algorithms. I once did a search for a Forest from all the early sets to test my jewel loupe on, and didn't even buy any. Just the act of looking at them caused their algorithm to raise prices, and in the next few days the youtubers who watch card pricing were reporting that the price of Forest was on the rise. ROFL True story.
How about making the videos Top 20, and split in 2 parts? It's more content for us, there are more cards to show, and you get in theory, double ads revenue.
Enlightened tutor feels like it won on a technicality. Its been printed as a rare, in premium sets only, after 1999, after going 15 years without even being printed. The price reflects that decision as if it was an uncommon in dom remaster or eternal masters, it wouldnt stand a chance over $10. Case of rhystic study type cards. Its price reflects moderm day rarity price. High demand common/uncommon from 90s sets might as well be considered rares now a days.
I don't feel like having a high price tag because it is scarce given the incredibly high demand is a "technicality." These are the exact reasons that all cards have the prices they do.
@NizzahonMagic your criteria is based on the lowest cost version obtainable. The lowest cost version obtainable of enlightened tutor is high because it's been reprinted as a rare since. If it was reprinted as a uncommon, consistently, it wouldnt be #1. Thats not objective, it's just true when you uplift a rarity in the way ET has been. Its price reflects rarity track printing, largely. Not uncommon, since it HAS been reprinted as rare. Im not even being closed to convinced that's not a technicality. Criteria should also be not being reprinted as rare lol. It's no longer uncommon throughout.
@@NizzahonMagic in business terms it's reprinted at rare to maintain the reprinted equity of the price it's reached. They reprinted it at rare, among others, specifically to maintain the price because it wouldnt maintain the equity as a uncommon track printing in modern reprints. So that completely spoils the concept of "ideally the cheapest version" available. They seen an old uncommon reach rare price and choose not to ruin that.n it's artificially holding that price at the mercy of wizards up shifting rarity. Its hardly "uncommon" pricing.
@ Ah, I get your point now. Your'e saying I shouldn't have included cards that haven't been Uncommon in every printing. Yeah, that's a reasonable enough argument. I still think it's fine to include cards that were originally printed at Uncommon and reprinted at higher rarities, but I can see where you're coming from.
what are these prices ? is cardkingdom so expensive ??? i dont know it as i am european and i use cardmarket but damn thats like so much more then i am used to the cheapest land tax is 8,50 € and the average is 13€ ... sheltered by ghost is cheapest 2,90 € with avergage 4,29 € (cheapest MINT 10/10 quality is 3€) card kingdom having double the prices is crazy
It doesn't happen very often in my "most expensive" videos, usually there are just other cards that are more expensive. The only exception to this is usually cards that are seeing play in a zillion formats and ar mythic rare (like Sheoldred or Atraxa). So, I'm surprised based on experience.

In a beyond set too, its idiotic.

Uncommon is the third lowest rarity behind Common and Aftermath Rarity.
Aftermath is the highest rarity in the game.
A slight correction: I believe that land tax was banned in premodern a year or so ago.

White has good card draw now. No need to load up on lands every turn.
Which cards?
Love lists like this. Didn't realize the three Starnheim Aspirants I have are kind of beefy.
land tax and fastbond in a kudo deck feels so cheesy but nice. use that ayrula card to discard spare lands for free bears and take right off.
Ive never understood why they print uncommon cards that are only available in a commander decks. Its as rare as any rare printed for that deck.
I agree, but I think it something like shorthand for telling a player (especially a new player) the general power level of a card
Should the Warhammer card really count as an Uncommon if players were never able to pull it out of a booster pack?
AC set is legal on Modern.
