I can understand how designers of a new genre of game wouldn’t fully grasp the power of card advantage, but still Ancestral Recall has always been outrageously good. Black had Dark Ritual ( $440) for 3 black mana, red had Lightning Bolt ( $960) for 3 damage, white had Healing Salve ( $30) for 3 life, green had Giant Growth ( $265) for +3/+3. Each color had a card which did 3 of something. Nowadays, there are wisps of the remnants of the Moxes in cards like Mox Diamond ( $800) or Chrome Mox ( $90).Ĭontrary to what I said before about most of the cards weren’t busted upon release, it’s absolutely wild to imagine how Ancestral Recall found a place among its family of similar cards.
But as decks became more aggressive, the value of the Moxes started to skyrocket. Each of them was basically just a bonus land, as a 0 cost artifact. But when an extra 3 mana only meant you could get your Force of Nature ( $3,500) out on turn 4 instead of turn 6, that really wasn’t that big of a deal. Like most of these cards, at the time they were released they weren’t actually that game breaking. Every year or so, news breaks out of someone cracking a new Black Lotus and the whole MTG world gets buzzing. But skipping Black Lotus would be a crime when compiling a list of most expensive Magic: the Gathering cards. It’s almost so obvious it’s worth skipping mentioning. So, they’ll be lumped together so other cards will have a chance to shine.
It’s not very interesting if 80% of the list is just every Mox and Dual Land. Please don’t rob me.įor this article, we will be grouping some similar cards together. Yes, that’s really me with my Chaos Orb and Mox Sapphire.
