(As quoted on the Thrill of Possibility card)
I planned for this to be a weekly series, but every other week has been the pattern so far. I will try to pick up the pace.
I wasn't playing much when this set came out, but there is a lot of fun stuff in here. First up, the commons from this pack.
That Mystic Sanctuary land card is worth around $1.00 right now, so not bad at all for a common. It enters trapped unless you already have enough islands on the table, but it lets you pull an instant or sorcery card from the graveyard (discard pile) and put it on top of your library (draw pile).
Several other cards are also solid utility tools, too. What do you think?
Up next, the uncommons and rares.
Food token. Basic land. Foil common with no real value... what's this? A $5 rare? Not bad! Castle Garenbrig looks like a key addition to any deck with a green mana ramp strategy.
As for the uncommons, Rally for the Throne is good for any White Weenie deck, but none of them have much market value.
What do you think of this pack? Comment below! And keep watching this series, because more packs will go further back in modern Magic history as I continue. I have some potentially special stuff squirreled away.
