I played last year with a guy I knew. He had a lot of pretty new cards all of my stuff was from the 90’s. I smoked him.

Thicket Basilisk + Lure, classic stuff

If you paired the Vice with a Howling Mine, it always made people twitchy.

What we needed was "Cheater's Gibbet: your opponent takes one damage for every Dark Ritual he is hiding under the table."

Creatureless control decks were always my favorite. Fuck your army, i control the board.

I think I've spotted someone who used to use Propaganda.

Same. Looking at the new MtG from the outside, it feels like a very different game from what we played in the 90s. Different, and less interesting IMO.

I felt like it started backsliding when they did away with mana burn.

The main problem today is not that it's just about creature, in fact many super powerfull deck are not base on creature, the problem today is the entry price. Hasbro want to maximise profit and make the product so overprice that new player are stuck with deck that can be made without paying thousand of $ and those deck are generally base on creature... And don't start me on the number of product release... this is just insane...

Even more than just the price of entry. They started cutting out LGSs with the whole Secret Lair bullshit that could only be bought directly from their website. They charged players out the ass for 30th anniversary reprint boosters (not specific cards or the whole set, RANDOM BOOSTERS) that aren't even tournament legal. They made MTG: Arena a pay-to-win microtransaction riddled mess. They fucked up and sent an unreleased package to a player, then sicced the Pinkertons on them.

i started playing way back in 98 and i'm so sad about what the game start to become :(. I miss the old format of block and the peak of FNM

I've only played MTG Arena after the 90s MTG so I'm not familiar with how it's been the past 20 years or so. In that online version I learned they would be eliminating older cards and sets and only allowing new ones for any sort of rank, and I knew right then that I wasn't going to continue.

Those cards worked better by themselves with either discard or draw spells to force the damage.

Discard decks *chef's kiss*

Rack and Black Vice were fun cards to play! Aside from a game night box set I bought on a whim a couple years ago, I think the last time I bought any new MTG cards was probably when the Ice Age expansion came out (maybe in 95?). It seemed to be less fun once Walmart started selling cards and changing the artwork as to not offend Christian customers and with what Hasbro has been doing, it doesn't seem like the old time fun will be coming back anytime soon.

Yeah Ice Age may have been my last, or maybe an expansion or two after it, I can't remember.
