Oh my god. I can't believe this made it into it's own video! That was a pack I gave you back at Pax East 2016 when Modern Masters was pretty new. I figured marking it as so clearly fake would let you decide what to do with it and had assumed it got opened off screen at some point. (Also, my name was on the bag that had a bunch of packs in it, but this was before writing our names on the packs themselves was a super common practice.) Fun fact: When this was packed it was every turtle creature that had been printed so far (Excepting the non-turtley changelings) and I had to fill the 15 cards with other tangentially turtle related cards. Finding a Giant Tortoise was somewhat of a challenge.

Oh also, the token is in there so the masking tape didn't damage any of the cards. There weren't any turtle tokens available.

It was reprinted in Fourth Edition so it can’t be on the reserved list.

@chrispalumbo5556 2 жыл бұрын

@@MJWhitfield Cards being on the reserved list does not mean that those cards were never reprinted at any point in time. It just means that they were not reprinted after their addition to the list. Cards from as late as 1999 are on the reserved list, I believe, and 4th came out in 1995, so it's possible some cards were reprinted in 4th before getting added to the reserved list later. However, if that turtle was from arabian nights, then it is not on the reserved list. It's fairly easy to look up the comprehensive list online, sorted by the initial set reserved cards were first printed in.

I tried to play Shell of the Last Kappa in a commander deck once. It's such a cool idea, but functionally it's "you have hexproof until someone destroys this thing or you have less than 3 lands untapped" since nobody wants to cast into it, so its second ability never gets used. Not nothing, but not worth the price sadly :(
