For April, you should do a Best Cards Ever of the Un-sets

[thesquirteler]

In the spirit of Halloween, you should do a video on Innistrad.

Lorwyn-Shadowmoor would be cool for this series

Mirrodin is where i started playing Magic effectively, back in 2003. My favorite deck was Bait and Bludgeon, i loved the artifact synergy goin' on and worked my strategy from that, affinity at it's best! My top card was Broodstar (3:43) that came inside the theme deck! It was a blast winning most games. Awesome memories o/

[Supsup]

ah mirrodin, the expansion i first played.. the days

[gallyyum]

Even Fifth Dawn had some amazing cards. Introduced the Scry mechanic. Crucible of Worlds, Staff of Domination, Auriok Champion, Vedalken Shackles, Eternal Witness, Vedalken Orrery, Engineered Explosives, Serum Visions, all the beacons and bringers, MMMephridross Vampire, Steelshaper's Gift, and Cranial Plating.

Why not try one of the Kamigawa sets for the next episode?

[LaCooper]

hey wedge, love this series, but would love to see a wrap up at the end of each one that recaps all previous top cards. thanks for the hard work buddy!

Back then as a teenager I started playing magic when Mirrodin came to life. So much nostalgia is going on in this video.

[SheffieldsPark]

I remember Mirrodin block. It's the first block I owned cards from, and my first two decks were the Little Beaters precon from Mirrodin and a similar UW deck from Fifth Dawn (if I recall correctly) called Nuts and Bolts (I got started on MtG during the summer of 2004). Like that was where I learned about the color pie, and fell in love with white token-weenie-equip decks. The flavor was cheesy imo, but I'll be damned if it wasn't fun. And there was just something so satisfying about opening Mirrodin packs and Tournament packs, specifically because of that logo. Some of my favorite cards ever printed came out of this block, and there's still so many cards I had but never had the actual chance to play with like spell bombs, Empyrial plate, so many artifacts, so many creatures. Unfortunately, I also remember talk of how affinity had broken the tournament scene. Insultingly enough, design didn't have any plans to approach the problem until Saviors of Kamigawa, when they printed Kataki, War's Wage, which helped Extended and eternal formats, but by then, all of those cards had already been banned for months, and Mirrodin block was already on its way out the door with the introduction of Ravnica on its heels -- not to mention, jitte had become the new thorn in everyone's side. I also remember that Mirrodin represented serious power creep and they curb stomped that with Kamigawa block, to where almost everything was underpowered, overcosted and lame.

That having been said, I've got a lot of fond memories of Mirrodin block, and looking back, it was a great block with a few bad apples.

Hit me with the first Ravnica sets. I love that plane.

[kevinjohnson]

I love these videos!!! If there were one for each block, I would watch all of them, and then show all my friends all of them. :D

I'd like to see one on Scars of Mirrodin. I'm a bit nostalgic as it was where I started really getting into the game, and I still have memories of hearing about infect for the first time and the glory days of indestructible as a keyword in Darksteel.

[TorqueBacklash]

A friend of mine has a affinity deck. It is the deck that from darksteel with Arcbound Ravager and Disciple of the Vault. He more or less kept his together. I normally played standard so most of the time it was a odd question of what strategies would fair well. Many decks work but as anyone would expect Spellskite and Hex Parasite left an impression with him. Fun times.

[tmcdon]

Great Vid, Wedge! Hope you continue this series!

[docterfantazmo]

This was the newest set when I started playing MTG, I'm glad I was just a kid, playing Standard at the time sounded abysmal. No mention of Darksteel Colossus, I know it's not broken but I'd consider it an iconic card.

[alexandergaetke]

I would love to see you do a video on Ravnica: City Of Guilds. Even though me and my friends never went to events around that time, I'd love to know how Standard worked out with cards from that set plus Guildpact and Dissension.

[michaelpepsin]

I'd like to see New Phyrexia. New Phyrexia was yet another artifact-centric set and is one of the only sets to include colored artifacts, such as Norn's Annex. In addition, it implemented an entirely new kind of mana (Phyrexian mana) that has had a lasting effect on Modern and Legacy because it breaks the fundamental rule of Magic (that rule being that a player needs to tap lands to play cards). The Scars of Mirrodin/Zendikar standard created the strongest standard deck in history, Caw-Blade, and was the height of power creep. New Phyrexia and the rest of its block brought some fundamentally broken cards that should've never been printed, like Batterskull and Wurmcoil Engine. It was arguably the strongest point in Magic's history next to Alara block.

[dannyzep]

ironically i entered the game around the time this standard existed just being a kid i remember picking up a starter deck from 5th dawn. Though being 12 years old i didn't play competitively. i think my favorite cards from this set are the kaldra avatar equipment, i remember trading away some stuff for the sword and then i completed the cycle soon after. suiting a guy up with the sword really put the game in my favor amongst my friends at the time. i guess my memories from this set aren't as bad as everyone else's :)

[MrDerKnofi]

More series! Liked it. Like all of them but they are so few.
