hey guys John here with Sarge and Reds
thanks for joining us today we have
something pretty special we wanted to do
I've been thinking about this for a
while as we all know magic the Gathering
just hit its 25th year anniversary which is
a
pretty cool milestone expected for a
game that we all you know and love
some of you haven't even been alive for
25 years probably I remember buying my
very first booster pack of Magic the
Gathering which was revised back in 1994
I was in high school and I basically
bought a booster box of every set from
there through tempest when I was in the
Marine Corps and then I sold out of that
collection and got out of the game only
to get back in it again right around
innistrad
as a lot of you may have done you play
and then you know things happen in
your life then you get back in the game
well that's one of the things that's
nice about magic it's always something
you come back to you know it changes but
it doesn't change so much but you can't
really get back into it when they announced
Dominaria I got from excited because
it's one of those sets that kind of
revisits magic from back when I used to
play initially and I figured cool you
know what better way to then kind of
celebrate 25 years then kind of walk
back in time or timewalk as it would be
with Magic the Gathering by opening
booster packs starting with Dominaria
and working our way back until at least
revised they'll be kind of like quantum
leap will be my lifespan but Magic the
Gathering well we might do some little
older packs as well so basically we're
gonna do two years at a time this first
batch is gonna be 2017 and 2018 we might
do more years depending on how many sets
came out for that time frame obviously
we had two master sets and unset and
things like that during this time frame
and we'll also kind of talk about you
know where we were during this time
frame or these time frames you know let
me know let us know in the comments
below you know what were you doing
during this period of magic the gathering
as we as we work our way back to time
and what was what's your most memorable
card what's your most memorable moment
and Magic the Gathering if it happened
during you know these times if you were
conceived by your parents way back in
revised we don't need to know that don't
tell us
like tell us but we don't want all the
nitty-gritty details anyway get
on topic right what we're here to do
it's gonna be some opens and boosters I
remember opening my first pack of eyes
the most memorable card for me force of
nature because the first rare I ever
opened you know you get that swampthing
looking dude on the front the original
art and back then I think it was
probably worth like what eight ten bucks
something like that now it's worth
nothing
regardless let us know in the comments
below
you know if you have any memories and
magic that you want to share with the
rest of us or you know what your
favorite moments in the game work so
what we're gonna do is we're gonna talk
a little bit about the years that we're
gonna go into and then we're gonna go
into the boosters openings obviously you
know 2018 2017 is not really ancient
history we all know you know Donald
Trump's the president you know the sets
that came out this year so far it's
starting with Dominaria working back
his master's 25 rivals of ixalan
unstable iconic masters ixalan hour of devestation
Ahmonket and aether
revolt and those are the ones we're
gonna be opening up during this show
we're gonna hit some like 10 bits and
trivia and some you know kind of
randomness just that happened during
these years the top grossing movie so
far this year 2018 the years not over
but infinity war is the top grossing
movie so far last year I think the top
grossing movie or I know the top
grossing movie cuz I lift it up was Star
Wars the last Jedi billboard top 100
singles for pop was shaping you album
was damn and for RB and hip hop was
that's what I like by Bruno Mars and the
album was the same it was a damn
so Kendrick Lamar way to go you got too
old and then country was a body like a
back road by Sam hunt and the album was
traveler by Chris Stapleton I guess it
still going on 2017 is not ancient
trivia I'm hoping it'll be get a little
more nostalgic as we go back in time
here with magic so without further ado
we're gonna start with Dominaria and
we're gonna go through these things so
it's next for the first pack of Dominaria
I've opened I haven't done a booster
open or a pack opening yet I haven't
played
here in the last couple weeks but see
what we got all right so we got the
skirt prospector sacrifice' Goblin add
one Red Deer mana pool sergeant at arms
there's only room for one sergeant here
but he get out of here
water snapper big turtle there hex proof
grace act life at warrior flying when
we're grace acolyte enters the
battlefield put the top three cards your
library in a graver and you gain through
life
alright guys protector must be blocked
if able saplings he remembers these from
the Fallen Empires was the first set that
had saprolings I think right correct me if
I'm wrong but I think it was create two
one one green sapling creature tokens if
this spell was kicked create four of
those tokens instead
ghosting Lance quick creature gets plus
two plus zero
run amok I just like the kool-aid man
after doing Crossfit for a while busted
through the wall there three games
trampled all right blink of an eye
target non-land permanent to its owner's
hand if the spells kick draw card
I've also write death bloom valid when
death Fela dies create a 1/1 cream SAP
will encourage your toga
earn our uncommons now return target
permanent card from your graveyard to
your hand and then what's that what's
the expensive error in this I think it's
corn is the highest valued one right
let's hope for a corn maybe a foil card
a lot of thousand here sacrifice a
creature draw card all right
Silvan awakening wah-wah
all right until your next turn all and
you control come to two elemental
creatures comfortable hoists to lands
and a bonus is a legendary elf Archer of
hell are the fire Fletcher ramble
whenever you cast a spell if that was
kicked put 1 1 counter in ha
[Music]
and a cleric
and it looks like the singer aristocrat
alright so that is Dominaria now next
we're gonna be going on to masters 25
and the most valuable one of this as we
all know is Jace but there are a couple
others that are worth some money here so
let's hope we get him squadron hawk
again I know I did a booster pack or a
booster box opening and I mentioned it
then I really like the way they put
these on the air and I think I should
give the reaper and so let you know what
the original set was zoomy cutthroat
crimson mage target creature control
gains haste until the end of the turn
Kaine denial
our targets Bella controller may drop to
two cards the beginning an ex-member
Weaver
they lost that's me at times but target
online permanent on the top of its
owner's library
self assembler when self assembler
enters the battlefield you may search
your library for assembly worker so I'm
assuming everyone that's watching this
has probably been playing for at least
the last couple sets so you've probably
seen a lot of these armor elf on tap
target forest Shawn does are tre
outraged he'll for damage to target
creature to do that creatures controller
he'll spell bomb sacrifice spell bomb
Excel Clara target people's great
players graveyard
[Music]
one thing I don't like about this it's
really hard to make out these colors as
far as the silver versus the black I
think we are an uncounted territory now
though
that was the last comment all right
button deals three damage to target
player I player discards two cards
every herbalist creature doesn't untap
turn controls on tap step
feed as one ugly feet
there's the battlefield target opponent
reveals his/her hand hand you choose a
nom nom land card from it exile that
card when mesmeric Fein leaves the
battlefield for turn to excel card to
its owner's hand all right what's her
air what's her it's from legendary land
oh cool I am not pronouncing that right
probably know what's that one go for
that's not up there that's probably uh
it's $2.95 according MTG stocks so and
oil giant growth grow not the best back
fish really fish I got a fish I got a
fish and a city in the sea
alright Rivals of Ixalan is next year
we want rekindling Phoenix is gonna be
the top card in the set followed by the
immortal son Jade light Ranger and then
we start kind of dropping into that sub
ten dollar range again accordin MTG
stocks that's just the page I haven't
have up
Oh legion conquistador I kind of like
the white vampire thing they had near
most undead creatures are black not
white mana
see legs flash and chant creature +0 -
as long as it's pirate otherwise it gets
the - 2-0 stampeding horn crest as haste
as long as you control another dinosaur
already buy a revenant a vampire spirit
vampires head spirits but cool three
colorless one black for a three won't
flying out of the stampede dinosaur call
spells you cast cost two less colorless
to cast
it seemed that come in handy cover turn
tires screech of cars we were graveyard
their hand drop hard
Jade bearer dead bear enters the
battlefield put a 1 1 counter on target
and merfolk
solo the rapids flying in hex proof four
three and two blue four three two
ARC inquiry target opponent reveals his
or her hand you choose an on land card
and that player discards it your mind is
no longer yours to waste sorry brah
boom this bonds and chant creature can't
attack or block
or uncommons woodland stream there's the
battlefield tapped and green or blue
manna to your manna pool or Runner of
the coalition
pirate and here's the battlefield you
may search your library for a pirate
card reveal and shovel in your library
escaped from or rasca I can't pronounce
half these damn cards guys you're gonna
bear with me if I mispronounce something
a sin if you control 10 or more permits
you get the city's blessing for the rest
of the game
and and Alden atonement
let's see at the beginning of each
upkeep a slave last turn put a plus one
plus one counter
see here what's this guy going for let's
look at all
I'll be gonna be both whopping 50 cents
and a Plains with crop circles no fish
Scherzer treasures better than fish
right all right unless you like fish
unstable so unstable obviously nothing
really super expensive in here I think
the most valuable card in here is uh
everything of a jig that's six dollars
and sixteen cents but we are gonna open
all these packs to continue down our
path a magic history I remember the
first one of these sets came out kind of
like yeah well they give her give or
take or take it or leave it
smell suck counter tartar spelled and
assemble a contraption stinging scorpion
French fritter
the battlefield a symbol contraption
test subject I work with just kidding if
you're watching I love you
breach whenever you roll for hire on the
die put a 1 1 counter on willing test
subject 6 roll six-sided die mother
kangaroo this is the only kangaroo
matted together although we'll probably
have a set where we go to Australia
which pool because everything I'm not
sure oh you can kill you
everything's poisonous or eat you my
brother-in-law from Australia and he can
attest that let's see riveting rigor
and fish what's with the fish today
people extremely slow zombie last strike
the widget
doesn't say
suspicious nanny Kayla do you are you
suspicious nanny I'm gonna set this card
aside I'm going to give this to her
nanny anti rare is Jack Knight artifact
creature cyborg knight and a forest
Artemis is really cool jamming device
and the top secret tunnel and Brainiac
foil brick yeah I see that guy from
Ninja Turtles name of a giant robot
stomach
I can't remember all right iconic
masters like iconic about iconic masters
so such a disappointment to me I was
hoping to be iconic by revisiting stuff
I guess the commentary cut every
business is a lot of stuff so see what
we have here Iconic masters I'm just
switching tabs here so managering
obviously in horizon canopy on the top
so we're gonna go for those deal film
Fein
soon a vote aye
for tomorrow
on one
brought Feaster maggot that's disgusting
press she's having a bad day with the
needles to the head that's like
acupuncture gone bad cross links angel
of mercy fly angel mercy and hers
battlefield you gain three life
blame that's what for Davison I think
was with miss it
where this card came out
servitor I think that right sky was
teaching when every Cassadine creature
spell you may put may pay one color
someone blue if you do create a to to
blot of blue
Djinn monk creature token with fly
a target on my creature
uncommon either eyes return all
attacking creatures to their owners hand
got here zero that's Genesis either
because it says so right hand the real
killers acid is our foil nothing too
exciting there and a spirit least it's
not a fish all right Ixalan
came out saying Ixalan was gonna be
pirates and dinosaurs I was kind of
skeptical cause like I heard some
dinosaurs what's next plants and zombies
but actually they kind of pulled it off
I thought it was pretty cool theme
shining arias or
a complete cutthroat so what do you guys
think do you think it's gonna be pretty
neat kind of going back through time
with well if the history of magic going
through these boosters I think it'll get
more interesting when we get farther
back into some of the older sets I think
a lot of people have been around for
these sets so it's just kind of but
we'll get there I have to do this in
order start with the worst work our way
back ravenous dagger tooth what a
carnage tyrant or search for as canta
are the two in this that are gonna be
the top two
I'm blade
it's strong brute
Sano's Wayfinder can Dolly's collar
yeah McKeever that's one big dog or
strike seven and the white sacrifice a
cat and encampment keeper if I could
read creatures you control get plus two
plus two until the end of the term
[Music]
das collegian dreadnought
some counter is at soakin Archer
daring sad tour good boiler people
planes and a vampire token
all right well nothing super exciting
Hour of devastation
anything exciting here scarab god went
about 23 bucks for this so we've had the
Greek mythology with theros and now we
got the Egyptian with almond kit block
so I guess I got some more stuff that
can reach back in time for Reuben
combatant I just hope they don't like
space aliens or anything crazy
even of enduring hope
or blades and this one place it's like
how do you keep coming up with ideas I
get - you got reprints but dang they
keep coming up with new stuff
twenty-five years they've been doing it
so they can keep doing it
Oasis Ritualist Agra druid a blond man
of any color demand a fool
sir no aces well I have to man of any
one calorie
rotting bones Lasher zombie minute our
first Minotaur Magic the gathering is
the Hurloon Minotaur
I actually have a statue it back up there
they're both sharpshooters deckle Archer
gilded Sara Dom I said a beast another
dinosaur oh wait this is not the
excellent block disregard that's why
feral prowler eyes draw a card
Ezard of the indomitable
Ravin function whenever grab an
abomination attacks Excel target
apart from defending players graveyard
it's doom it's falling Oh No
choose one target opponent exile is a
creature he or she controls target
opponent reveals his or her hand you
choose a non lank non-land card from in
an exile at this place is that limitless
near dead limbs
that's uncommon here right yep vile
manifestation zero for each card cycle
great
[Music]
and at eternal
and forest full art and a warrior
all right we got two left Ivan Kent
Aether revolt so it looks like we are
gonna be looking for Gideon of the
trials and row NOS the indomitable are
the high-value ones here so let's hope
we get luckier than we have with the
rest of these cards holy crap yeah kind
of got nothing really good at all on
these as far as value our to shoot
cartouche Touche cartouche a cartouche
of solidarity
ruch of knowledge yeah third time no
brute strength
it'll spin a dung beetle
she its companion
shot but three minus one minus one
pounds entire crew of law
egman spray
one thing that I'm glad they did that
they didn't do back when I first started
playing was these symbols here with the
different colors for rarities when I
first started playing again or when I
first got back into it with innistrad I
didn't realize that they had changed
that color I smashed my finger by the
way that's
um it hurt I don't remember what I did
but it hurt
I remember going through it looking up
every single card and looking at like
which was a rare and I didn't realize
those color-coded I guess was kind of
stupid but they didn't do that back when
I first started so see a magician
ruthless sniper
monument bells cast one was
some common is the shadow storm vizier
eyes are busier and thrown of a god
Pharaoh
and Island and a zombie alright a the
revolt last best hope here for this set
let's see what does a Aether Revolt top
card is walking balista and paradox
engine
let's hope for those two
oh all right say strike
yes ather swooper there it is
alais evasion art of creature control
gets +1 +2 delenn to turn return entire
creature control to its owner's hand
night market area not
so we've relieved
arizim
dream levered
solve them
brawler
iron tread crusher
proof image
barricade breaker
uncommon fatal push nice that's what
seven bucks still that's the best value
Carter had so far and it's only common
quick Smiths pie in a mountain and a
servo alright guys well that will wrap
us up here for 2017 and 2018 Magic
the gathering in the next video we're
gonna do is going to be 2016 and 2015
which is a little teach it here it's
gonna be Kaladesh through Fate Reforged
we're gonna Kaladesh through fate
