It’s time to delve into the strange world of the weirdest cards ever to come out of Wizards’ card design department. From odd choices in mechanics and wording to outright confusing and unplayable cards, it’s all fair game with this one.

Not going to lie this series put me to sleep
Time Vault, Illusionary Mask.
You sound like Nick Swardson
battle of wits pluss ALL THE TUTORS
I have a two page paper to write on a play I haven’t fully read due tomorrow and I’m watching this. I know nothing about mtg
246 islands and 4 battle of wits wins consistently by turn 6
Watch the Richard Garfield interview for Shaharazad … Chaos Orb was awesome fun. The ‘rule’ then, oh, too late, don’t replace your cards. Ppl practiced their Orb tossing with an Island. Any other land is worthless of course 😉
shahrazard into splendid genesis into a second shahrazard into splendid genesis into sahrazard into splendid genesis into sahrazard in splendid genesis
Chaos Orb got nothing on Chaos Confetti. Had to tear that shit up.
Who plays Prismatic? I’ve never even heard of it until now.
Dear Science! Imagine if they gave Shahrazad Storm… PLAY ALL THE SUBGAMES!!!!!
i have battle of wits
one of my memories of high school (’96-’00)was the cafeteria table where the kids all sat and played magic….I remember they argued about the game rules…. a lot….seeing some of these originals cards I understand now..
What happens if you cast a sharazzard while a sub game of sharazzard is in progress.
Okay, hear me out. 250 card deck, run into Battle of Wits, hang onto it, use everything else as fodder until you also get Psychic Spiral, if the Spiral doesn’t mill your opponent out, Battle of Wits wins you the game anyways.
the last two were from a artist dedicated to his childrens birth read it in scrye back when he did them
time to make a deck comprised of the weirdest mtg cards ever.
Sweet, passed the eye test.
Battle of wits can actually be a lot of fun to play.
Dude I love Splendid Genesis, it even has a quote from my favorite author “Gabriel Garcia Marquez” that is from the book “Amor en tiempos de colera”. I would have used one from “Cien Años de Soledad” myself but it is great.
LOL, Chaos Orb and Falling Stars, fucking pogs. xD
It’s “Charizard”, from Arabian Nights.
I think the prismatic banning was probably because it was on literally every deck and it was pretty much the one way people won the game most of the time.
hey I’m very new to the whole MTG scene and feel kind of dumb asking this but what exactly is “Anti” that was mentioned at 7:13
Thanks anyone that can help out
Runs a play set of Charizard I mean Sharazard
Can you make a video on how to play prismatic, because there are literally no videos explaining it.
Rock hydra
No, there were no pro-tours back then. We just played Magic for fun. 40 card minimum deck size was the original rule (was changed pretty quickly but Arabian Nights was the first expansion).
whats the difference between standard and modern?
I have been building a shahrazad deck for years. I want to use divine intervention to just have the main game end in a draw for utter futility. I will twin cast shahrazad and such. My goal is to only draw or win by scoop.
40 was the minimum for none tournament games.
I believe the last one was telling Richard garfields son that he was going to be a brother because of the artist and the way it’s written in general
I need to make a fuck you deck
battle of wits is awesome! noob >.>
imagine playing 4 shahrazards in a deck and then using one in each game and subgame. Basically mtg inception
A year later still dont know what the fuck prismatic is
It would be nice if you would tell a consice explanation of the story behind the cards instead of “look it up”. I already know the story, and it is awesome, but if your going to include them in your video you should explain it. I mean come on.
Battle of wits x4 + x4 of every tutor + x4 Tamiyos Journal
How can you not understand why battle of wits is playable? You just need to make a deck that is 200+ cards of islands and tutors.
Is charzard in standard?
if i remember correctly splendid genesis was printed to celebrate richard garfields first child, Fraternal was printed as a tribute to richard garfield’s 2nd child when he was born both are almost impossible to get as they were only given to certain staff at wotc at the time. Back when the game first started ie alpha/beta arabian nights there were no serious tournaments yet thats why stuff like chaos orb, sharazad etc were created
Battle of Wits is absolutely in no way a fake. The thing is that it lets you build a massive, 250~ card toolbox deck, where you can reasonably search up answers to literally any problem in the short term, and then eventually pull out Battle and win.
