The artifact list for this series is going to be nuts! Very cool video. The old Reserved List enchantments, much like the other cards, have such awesome flavor. I was surprised not to see Invoke Prejudice on this list, though.
@@Ixidora I know that. I still figured they could feature in videos, though. Like you, I disagree with WotC’s decision. Erasure is never a better path than understanding, and to be frank a great portion of the cards they axed are quite benign.
Invoke prejudice wasn't on the list because it's drastically cheaper than other legends enchantments. While it's removed from major store lists because they don't want to/are obligated not to buy or sell it, only the image is removed from the database. I don't like or agree with any of these decisions, but you sound like a moron whinging hyperbolic about it.
I think it would be cool if you also inform us about the price of the cheapest version of those cards too. Shouldn't be too time-consuming, and it is very interesting
Raging river is actually an extremely flavorful and fun mechanic. Dunno if it has competitive strength, but i must say that it definetly looks super fun!
@@jamesgasik3424 why not just make things more confusing and make multiple Raging Rivers instead so that way people are so confused they can't play anymore?
Authority of the Consuls is probably my favorite enchantment. Slows my opponents down plus gains me life, which is a draw engine in Oloro, all for 1 Mana.
Power Artifact is played in cedh, which is probably another reason it's so expensive. It combo's with multiple other artifacts, and it can go off early in the game
When I had a kobold deck, I used to put out raging river and illusionary mask with random kobolds out there. It was a fun mess when it worked lol. I lost that deck somewhere, which is a shame, I also had some gauntlets of mights and blood moons to help make it work. losing the gauntlets hurt.
If your clustering the Legends rares, you might as well have included all four of the so-called “Horsemen”. Both Nethervoid and All Hallows’ eve would have make list as well.
Well i own 3 of the cards on the list , though not the exact version shown, much less expensive versions. Doubling Season, Blood moon, Glorious Anthem to be precise.
Again, relying on Card Kingdom for your rankings on card prices leave you open to serious omissions on the high end. In this case it could move #4 to either #3 or even #2 -- There's the white enchantment called "Jihad" that goes for more than Drop of Honey -- usually. Hard to find in near mint; there are copies on eBay, cardmarket, etc. Card Kingdom pretends the card doesn't exist.
Jihad actually one of iirc 9 cards that been literally banned from existence by WotC, and Tcg player and card kingdom followed suit. It's considered a non-entity these days with cards like crusade.
@@matthewutech5970 That was actually my point. Using Card Kingdom means pretending the card doesn't exist. It does, and we shouldn't forget about it or any of the others. And when making lists like this you need to include them or your list is inaccurate.
I like these lists, it's fun seeing some of the old judge promos and stuff that gets outrageously expensive, but I'd be more interested in a list that compared the most expensive cards to play regardless of the version. I.E. have the top ten decided by the price of the cheapest version of a tournament legal M/NM copy (or the best condition you can reasonably find for older cards where M/NM copies are super hard to come by). I can imagine that kind of list could take a bit more research, though.
I was waiting for the Chains. My favourite expensive card. If I ever had the disposable income for a playset I'd buy it but the price keeps climbing, it was 300$ when I first designed a combo deck with it n Anvil or Bogardan. After clearing ur opponent's hand, if u hve both cards in play no one can draw cards for the rest of the game. So I run Phyrexian Obliterator as the main creature to try n also either hit them for lethal dmg or have them try n block with wut they have out alrdy n lose all their permanents. N using Increasing Ambition I can add cards to my own hnd allowing me to still cast some spells
This is what I believe is a more accurate list. I think leaving Alpha Cards off the list in future videos might be more interesting and far easier to find accurate prices for. 1.

Using EDH Rec as a source of what’s being played is crazy considering it uses virtual deck lists so nobody has to own any of the cards in a list to use them.
Perhaps the deck never hit the top 8 in anything that’s still on the record books today, but the Pox-Shallow Grave deck was around and doing well before Reoccurring Nightmare.
Sorry I'm late, I was too busy constructing a card house made out of Copy Artifacts. I'm going to burn it as a sacrifice in order to get Nizzahon to make "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!
Ayeee I have that Doubling Season! Bought it as a single card when it was $70. Also I got a Survival of the Fittest, I just wish I had the judge version!
To be honest with these 'most expensive X' lists I think I would prefer if you would just go with cheapest version of the card, instead of just having every 'most expensive' list being filled with obscure promo's and ending with some beta versions of cards at number 1.
I'd love to see a change in your methodology where you're basing the expensiveness of the cards on the cheapest version. That way, we wouldn't have to keep looking at judge promos and box toppers.
The reserve list should be disqualified. You cost list are made repetitive by it. More over you should only use the cheapest version of the card not it's rarest version, which has caused every list end on Alfa.
Alternative title: top 5 enchantments that prove the reserve list should be abolished (and 5 other cards) Its been proven, factually, that reprinting cards doesnt markedly hit the value of the original printing. The only people who still approve of the reserve list, are literal leeches who dont care about the hobby as much as their investment.
"top 10" that literally shows more than 10 cards, with several cards being forced into a tie, despite not actually being in a tie. You should take this video down, and reupload it properly. you have 7 cards in the "top 3" that should literally be taking up most of the list. You clearly don't know how top 10's are done.
Let me get right on that. Over 540 top 10s but I don't know how to do them. Thanks for the wake up call. Whatever would I have done without your quality advice?
I kept asking myself how earthcraft made the list, at only 2 mana, until i realized I'm a moron.

That squirrel nest looks so nice. MH2 art is fine, but I like the older one more for my deck’s look.
Power Artifact is played heavily in decks that want infinite mana from monoliths. It is also an easy way to combo faster with Chain Veil-Teferi.

yes, I agree, in this way it's just the highest price for the rarest cards and it's not that nice of a list
He did for most that it applied to. A lot of these items don’t have cheaper versions due to reserved list.

I've always found it funny how Drop of Honey is so much and Porphyry Nodes, the Time Spiral colour shifted version, is so little ;p

Power Artifact generates infinite mana with Basalt Monolith. The only reason it isn't more played in EDH is due to its high price.
Power Monolith its a tier 1 combo deck in Old School 93/94 also, so its not only collectors who are looking for the cards

Eh, just proxy em. Wizards makes proxies.
