Ah Amonkhet, the series where I went into a draft and my pack I started with gave me the Invocation Daze and a Hazoret. I let out an audible gasp at the table and people looked at me in confused. My cousin was in the same draft next to me, and looked at me when I passed him the stack with only a Hazoret in it.

I understand that Amonkhet is a deeply medium/unexciting set, but it holds a special place in my heart. One, because I loved Ancient Egypt as a kid; two, because it's the set that brought me back to Magic; and three, because that's my first contact with Friday Nights and LRR by extension!

@bencaswell1956 2 жыл бұрын

Same here friend, almost exactly. My childhood love of ancient Egypt is what enticed me back in to Magic when this set came out and I haven't looked back since. Might not be for everyone, but it's wonderful for people like us.

@ToxicAtom 2 жыл бұрын

The monuments are great in commander decks focused on a lot of creatures that happen to share a color, even if the deck itself is more than that one color (Spider Tribal, maybe?). The cost reduction is what makes them wild, whatever other text they have is just a bonus at that point.

@bossgoji 2 жыл бұрын

Oketra's Monument and Bontu's Monument are especially fantastic in Orzhov creature decks. It's not uncommon to get a little choked on mana in that color identity and those discounting your creatures and giving you upside helps a ton. Nothing says 'I'm about to run away with this game if I am not stopped immediately' like casting Elenda for 2 mana and having both of those triggers hanging around.

Oh my god I started playing during amonkhet and this pack contained so many cards I feel nostalgic towards. Hapatra was my first 'real' commander deck, bone picker and rhonas' monument are just awesome cards I played during that time and somehow I still remember luxa river shrine. This plus Graham going insane is perfect for me. What a delight to watch.

@Pilsnerp1c 2 жыл бұрын

It also had the most abysmal quality control I've ever seen for a printed product to come out of WOTC. I drafted multiple boxes with friends, and every single pack we ripped had smeared ink, weird color grading, print artifacts and aberrations, or miscuts/misprints. And all of this is to say nothing of the curling. My goodness, I had a draft deck that I could barely sleeve. Had this been an a sanctioned event, I wouldn't have been able to register some of these decks without getting flagged for marking my cards.

One of the reasons they've decided that -1/-1 counters make for bad environments, I think (along with the fact that they don't like +1 and -1 counters to co-exist, and +1s have become a core part of how they balance a lot of cards in some colors)

I honestly thought it was one of the single worst moments in an already pretty bad story. Although I suppose that was more Hour's fault.
