I used to have a rat colony brawl deck id use for my arena dailies. It's wild to think that a deck that cheap on arena would cost $200+ in paper

Ahhh sinkhole. The memories, the decks, the lost friendships....

First one without an Arabian Nights card! For those wondering about Oubliette from there, the cheapest printing was sitting at $1.79 for the Double Masters version when this video came out. So not even close. And every other Arabian Nights common has an under $1 reprint somewhere.

I turned to dust when you said urzas legacy was a quarter century old

Damn, time to dig up that box box of bulk commons at my mom's place to see how many Cabal Rituals are in there.

When Dominaria came out and it was when I bought more mtg product, when I found Rat colony I thought it was so cute I had bought 21 of them (my favourite number) in foil. A pleasant surprise to see it do well!

4:00 - I always assumed you were some sort of uncommon pet person, wasn't guessing rats. Thanks for all the great content .

In the days post Ice Age/Tempest/Alliances, whenever I perused through cards for sale, I pulled out every Darkness and Oubliette I’d run into. Always liked the weird, obscure-yet-powerful cards. Darkness is my favorite. The art is awesome and Gigeresque; the quote gives me shivers, and the effect is something no opponent ever expects.

I always thought Darkness's Legends print had some of the most metal looking art in the game

A signed Rat Colony by Nizzahon would go for more than the 1/1 One Ring.

#10 and #3 I had no idea. I've been sitting on a stash of them because I liked the card but never put it to use in a deck.

It amazes me that sinkhole is banned in pauper, but lotus petal is legal.

Bruv I just gave somebody around 20 rat colonies a couple years ago

Culling the Weak received a JPN comic promo insert recently, but it is in Japanese.

Huh, I own Snuff Out. Didn't know it was worth that much

this video is awesome! Pauper is a strong format in latin america, we love it.

RAT COLONY.... Upper Deck VERSUS system had the perfect term = ARMY, on a character card it means that this subtype indicates you can have 60 cards of it in your deck, or more

These videos really make me feel good about not selling off my old cards when I first quit the game. I have 7 of the 10 (I guess 11, since the last entry had two cards), and several copies of a few of them.

Maybe move cards from PTK to something like "Honorable mentions"?

Culling the weak saw a lot of play in hatred when tempest was legal.

Worth noting that the crazy values of Portal Three Kingdoms cards is pretty much contained to English printings. Last I checked Japanese printings were *much* cheaper.

sinkhole is good with overpowered lands in Commander examples being a strip mine, urborg, and in a certain green cradle card

I lucked into a snuff out for like a quarter in a bulk box of commons at some hobby store that had a magic section. I didn't know it was worth so much otherwise I'd have hunted that whole box for any more because I only got it since I thought it would go good in my mono black demon deck

gonna have to find my copy of **Culling the Weak** out of my boxes in the room and into a sleeve..

Glad to have SNUFF OUT in my Doctor Who Universes Beyond inventory!

I really enjoyed this list! It's funny because Black isn't even my favorite color; I like Blue, and then Black is probably second, but one of my better non-EDH decks is Rat Colony, with several other powerful Rats backing them up. The real reason, though, is a card that says nothing good about me; Sinkhole is one of my literal favorite cards in M:tG. It needs to be said that I am not particularly "good" at playing Magic. I'm more reserved, and nonconfrontational, so I'll always prefer a more gimmicky, alternative way to win than just amassing big creatures, and turning sideways. My preferred play group was good with this, but I obviously rarely ever won, and I reached a point where I decided ivDID want to build aggressive, but I still didn't want to do so conventionally. I build what I refer to as my "scorched earth" deck. Basically a Rakdos combination of player burn, and land destruction, hiding behind a wall of Goblins because Earthblighter Priest, and I thought of this because I hate how Green ramps SO WELL. It, too wasn't great, and then we shifted to primarily EDH, which suffered for both competitive multi-player burn AND multi-player LD, since that's frowned upon in the "social contract" Commander entails, but Sinkhole just made me smile.😊 lt's also nice because I sometimes watch these lists, hope to see something I like, and then discover it wasn't good enough to make that list, like Skittles and Infect, somehow, or Sinkhole and Land Destruction cards, so to finally see it get on a list is wonderful, even if my appreciation for a targeted LD card just depicts me as one of the worst type of players, by many people's metrics.

I’d like to see a video about the pet rats

How close was Oubliette to making the list? I guess the recent(ish) reprint brought the cost down.

A Nizza Notes on price gouging in the secondary market would be nice. Actually, I wish we could see more MTG trading content creators talk about the importance to the community of people pricing their resales FAIRLY instead of going for just under a hair below the current average at best.

Just look how much better old cards look compared to what they print nowadays.

I have most cards from this list since I played between 1999 to 2003 (Urza’s to Scourge). Those cards were so bad that I threw them away. I want my money back 😢

As a Nitirat, I approve of your list.

damn, how long ago was it when cull the weak and cabal ritual were less than a dollar? because I have at least 8 copies of each that I bought online and I know I didn't pay 12.00$ each for them lol.

i would have thought Oubliette would have made the list, i remember them being pretty pricey

I’m curious for the ratmander players if y’all prefer Relentless rats or rat colony? Colony cuz it’s cheaper I’m assuming?

Had a roommate in my college days that had pet rats. I thought they were awesome i would let them crawl around on me and they didnt creep me out like they did my girlfreind. Super cool pets!

I have 2 copies of Cabal Ritual from Torment. I thought they were worth almost nothing!

Your soul! -- my mom, in 1994, probably

How about a top ten of unwritten rules? Ex: Creatures in front; lands in back or don't bridge shuffle lol

(5:11) I know I own at least one Exhume somewhere in my collection. (9:42) I think my brother owns a Snuff Out, but I don't happen to own one myself. (11:20) I got lucky to find a Culling the Weak in a 10-cent bulk box not too long ago. (12:21) I may or may not have a Cabal Ritual somewhere in my collection. I don't recall for sure off the top of my head. (13:35) And of course, it's a Portal: Three Kingdoms card that takes the top spot.

There are 420,000 rat colonies on edhrec. Nice

Wtf is a "Mana Source" how could I be playing for so long and never even heard of this card type wow

Rats❤ of course

No plain old Dark Ritual?

Sinkhole! Is the goat!

Best place to sell magic cards?

Oubliette?

What do you mean commander decks are less consistent, thats definetly not true you can build extremely consitent decks my deck can consistently win turn 3

Exhume is a group hug card lmao, more like a game ender in a kriik son of yawgmoth cedh deck.

Why is zodiac rat so much more expensive than zodiac snake? It's a better card, sure, but aren't they both pretty unplayable?

Sinkhole was an uncommon am I wrong

haha i have like 10 cabal rituals.

In Europe, 5 years ago I bought 6 snuff outs for 40 cent per card. These prizes are bullshit. I always buy at magic card market, card Kingdom is so expensive, I always wonder about the prizes here.

Well pretty much any card is expensive using Card Kingdom Near Mint pricing.

I vote for relegating the Portal: 3 Kingdoms cards to honorable mentions entries for these lists going forward.

Snuff out is really bad honestly. Should be unplayable
