Something that's easy to overlook about the original duals that's pretty impressive in hindsight is how they inform the player that it's possible to play more than one color in a deck. We take it for granted now but I could easily see players not wanting to or possibly not even thinking they can but once they see that there are lands that make two colors it really opens things up in their minds for what is possible.

I am so happy to see Resleevables on KZfaq. Cedric and Patrick alone are enough to make any Magic content extremely educational and entertaining, but coupled with the editing and production, this is simple some of the best Magic the Gathering content ever created. The care and level of effort put into this is obvious and I hope they are both able to do this for a long time.

Another note about the BoP misprint is that the original wording just said 'Add one mana' which has created some debate in the alpha40 community which follows a ruleset designed to emulate the experience of playing at the release of alpha (40 card decks, no 4-of rule, continuous artifacts turned off when tapped, etc). It's not exactly a misprint but it is a design oversight. The other two cards in the set that make any color of mana (lotus and celestial prism) say that specifically, but so do the cards that make colorless mana (sol ring, mana vault, basalt monolith). In the community, BoP does tap for any color but there are folks that think it should make colorless instead.

The biggest issue in the 90’s was getting hold of the cards you wanted. I had to beg my folks to find and take me to the various comic shops and LGS in neighboring towns to try to find a copy of any specific card. eBay and the internet were not yet a thing where one could locate and buy whatever you wanted across the nation.

Sheesh, how am I just now finding this? I was an avid listener of the podcast in 2021. Over the course of 2022, not only did I slowly re-listen to every episode, but about once a month I would scour the internet for any news about The Resleevables possibly starting up again. I didn't realize I'd given up before 2023 started until I saw how long ago this was posted. Anyway, this was some truly expert level analysis. I thought I knew this set pretty well (I started playing with Revised too), but Patrick touched on some aspects I'd never considered. I definitely hadn't thought about how out of place Sedge Troll and Birds of Paradise are, probably since they've been part of the game since the beginning and I just didn't question it. But yeah, we've got a true Rakdos card and a five color mana dork in a set that otherwise wants you to be all in on mono-color decks. I'm looking forward to more observations like this in the upcoming videos.

To add to the misprints section, the reason they did not include Volcanic Island and COP Black in Alpha is due to not having art for the cards finished in time. The art for Birds of Paradise was originally intended to be the art for volcanic island but they did not like how it had so much focus on the bird. COP Black I think was just forgotten on accident. By the time Beta came around they still didn't have art for it and made it last second on a computer for the first digital MTG art.

According to Mark Poole (possibly Jesper Myrfors who I believe was lead art director at the time) the rumor that Birds of Paradise was intended to be Tropical Island is false. It was submitted as one of multiple iterations of art for basic Island, but Richard Garfield saw it and was inspired to create the infamous Birds.

Really excellent conclusion and can’t be overstated imo how incredible this is as the first CCG set ever made. There’s the quote about how aeronautics wasn’t an industry or a science but a miracle and I think ABU has some of that feel to it. Just like the early airplanes it’s of course not that there’s nowhere to learn or iterate on it but that seeing it in action makes you realize there’s this incredible thing that can be done that you never thought could be, that this thing is possible that wasn’t before. It’s really rare that something gets there on the first try, that the progenitor work just nails it, and Magic did, and you capture that really well here. Great, great video.
