To be fair, it's actually pretty cool that Maro wrote two episodes of Roseanne. It's also hilarious.
Anyway, Mirage good.
What set should we do next?

[PicoPlaytime]

Mirage has, hands-down, the best art of any set.

I really enjoyed flanking and phasing, I think they were really fun and different. And flanking was actually really powerful vs weenie/tokens

I stopped playing standard, but I remained subscribed to you, I'm really glad I did because I love when you make these videos.
Your content is always top notch and you help shed light on the past, present, and future of magic the gathering, from standard to edh, to pre-release guides, you rock dev!
Please keep making videos like this, they're really cool.

This is an excellent series idea! As an edh player and a sucker for old cards I hope there will be moreof these for classic sets!

You’re the man dev. I’m teetering On giving up on magic but your videos and info and decktecks and just overall good vibes keep me brewing and coming back for more

This video is a great retrospective. I loved being brought back to the time and place of the set then talking about the legacy of it. For those of us who were in their mtg prime at a young age when this set came out, it's as iconic as any.

i love mining the 90's sets for commander gold. it's so nostalgic and actually a really sweet way to tilt the table. when i returned to the game last year, i immediately purchased a grinning totem and rainbow lands so i could abuse it in my muldrotha edh :) i would ask for weatherlight next, since it has so many off the wall cards.

[Arghore]

Those tunes at the end just make me so happy ^^ ... they are like a perfect summer day :)

For the longest time Grinning Totem was my favorite card from the set. I was so happy when I opened one in a starter pack. And thank you for the shout out for Shauku Endbringer!

[Shadowcloak]

That was so awesome, Dev. Mirage is one of my favorite sets, not just because it was the set when I first started playing, but because it felt so aesthetically different from previous Magic sets. I always remember Zuberi, Golden Feather because not only did it awaken the Tribal Timmy in me as my first legendary card, but also because it taught me about the importance of curving out (turns out Griffin decks weren't so good because they were all 4 mana 2/2 fliers) - and in fact, it made me so happy to see SaffronOlive win Commander Clash with Zuberi =)

I was actually going to complain loudly about not seeing Teferi's Realm on the list, but then I realized it was actually from Visions. Personally I would love to see these videos about Visions and Weatherlight, and just have my heart explode with nostalgia.

Here I am Dev! Spreading love and being kind! Thanks for all you do brother. Keep it going

Tombstone stairwell gives EVERYONE zombies on EACH upkeep, meaning they have zombies to block with even if you get to attack first. But, it's AMAZING in aristocrats because it means you're getting death triggers equal to the number of creatures in your graveyard on every end step.

[Nirmithya]

Thanks for the walk down memory lane- especially that Circle of Despair. How I loved that card.

[mightydeekin]

So funny, was just browsing through the mirage set this morning after getting the Arena Mirage basic land art with the event. Tombstone stairwell was one of my favorite cards back in the day.

Early Harvest is my signature spell for my Nissa Who Shakes the World Oathbreaker deck. It’s stupid good.

[danielbhwang]

This was great. Would be awesome to see more of these

[DonovanPresents]

Wait a minute... Other people (than myself) love Jungle Patrol?!?!
That's so cool! A year or two ago I got Mark Pool to sign my copy of Jungle Patrol and he told me when I asked him to sign it "I forgot I did this card" or something of that nature 😂

[Baektas]

Hey man, i really liked your intro this time! Great humor, great over the top "screaming" into the mic. I really enjoyed it!

[jefff]

Dude, Dev, I was trying to pause the vid to read the text about Waiting in the "Wings" so I slowed down the video to 50% speed. And it sounds hilarious. You sound so drunk! Give it a shot sometime if you want a good laugh
