The Shocking Prices Of White Uncommons In Magic: The Gathering (And Why They Are Expensive)

[@prosfilaes]

Minor note: Painter's Servant doesn't give all cards all colors; it gives all cards the chosen color.

[@Mario85555]

Just a quick note: Universes Beyond Assassin's Creed is Modern legal (... I know lmao)

[@bat9056]

I think a couple of people play Basim Ibn Ishaq]

[@OnePointSafety]

​@@bat9056also yggdrasil, rebirth engine sees modern play

[@Igor369]

At least it is not sponge bob universe... yet...

[@cax1175]

Uncommon is the third lowest rarity behind Common and Aftermath Rarity.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

Aftermath is the highest rarity in the game.

[@melenynder7136]

Putting a "deck can contain any number of" card at uncommon just feels needlessly greedy

[@Mario85555]

The assassins creed set didn't have traditional "commons," as it was just uncommon, rare and mythic due to being a new type of booster "beyond boosters," basically the same as epilogue boosters which also didn't have commons.

[@marcoottina654]

luckily Hasbro hasn't already forced WotC of putting that line of text in Rare/mythics .... yet

[@MforMovesets]

In a beyond set too, its idiotic.

[@joedominguez8064]

Also worth noting those packs only had SEVEN CARDS like wtf 😂

[@bobboberson6664]

​@marcoottina654 yeah I gave up on magic. I feel like wotc hates it's player base.

[@birgerbaert6175]

Mother of runes is so good. I won a commander game by protecting my Herald of Eternal Dawn and going down to -41 life.

[@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor]

Honestly, I would have expected some more expensive cards to top the list. But hey, I won't complain. Enlightened Tutor is a damn staple, good thing it's not a $500 card. Unfortunately, I have no doubt that most if not all of the cards on "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)" will be $100+. Or maybe not. Only one way to find out!

[@Huttersson]

A slight correction: I believe that land tax was banned in premodern a year or so ago.

[@jonothanthrace1530]

I've always felt like color changing should've been a bigger deal in the game than it is.

[@marcoottina654]

yeah but people felt bad at being "specifically hated", which means "that color in particular receives a laser-focused hate", for ... some reasons so they gradually removed it it's a pity, I too wish to have more emphasis on this old, forgotten side of Magic

[@crawdaddy1234]

It used to be

[@anthonypeters3005]

Please do top 10 Basic Lands.

[@theunwelcome]

Enlightened Tutor looks to me like it'd be pretty nice in an Amanitou commander deck

[@mathrin]

Glad to see the Three Kingdoms cards got grouped together. These seem to go from a top 10 to a top 7 with whatever 1-3 Three Kingdoms cards happened to be printed topping the list. I'd almost prefer a disclaimer before the video acknowledging them with pricing and then moving forward with the remaining top 10. Awesome video as always.

[@ptk2blank692]

Premodern mentioned

[@eccod]

Enlightened Tutor costs less than $20 on sites you’re not sponsored by

[@henlohenlo689]

i also like worldly tutor. i got a spike feeder combo deck where around turn 5 or so or sooner maybe, i gain infinite life and have infinitely large spike feeder on the board. 4 birds of paradise, then the rest of the deck is 50 50, 50 percent spike feeder and creature tutors, and the other 50 percent is the cards that combo with spike feeder to gain infinite life and make infinitely large spike feeder.

[@UwURainUwU]

As a person happy to see standard alive at my locals for the first time in over half a decade, my boros mice deck is brutally strong, and its in no small part to Sheltered by Ghosts.

[@bobjohnson113]

Funnily enough i never see land tax anymore... like at all even in mono white decks

[@starmanda88]

White has good card draw now. No need to load up on lands every turn.

[@Kasigi03]

Love lists like this. Didn't realize the three Starnheim Aspirants I have are kind of beefy.

[@masterchaosforge]

Land Tax was banned in Premodern a few months ago x3

[@MarioJPC]

AC set is legal on Modern.

[@TheLuminousCleric]

If I play casually, I just proxy everything.

[@SwedeRacerDC]

Dust to Dust suffers in commander because white has no problem taking care of those things, even repeatedly for much less money and often on synergistic permanents that help your strategy in other ways. It being old also makes it so a lot of people just haven't heard of it, seen it in action or had any thought of it. If it's not EDH Rec-ommended, it's not going to make a lot of decks. Lol

[@NathanielKrefman]

Why isn’t Wasteland in this video?

[@danilomancini]

How about making the videos Top 20, and split in 2 parts? It's more content for us, there are more cards to show, and you get in theory, double ads revenue.

[@sheilamontanez7523]

Land tax is banned in premodern now

[@strawhataddison]

Pretty good cards all around. And those whack Portal 3 that always have stupid value.

[@natenathan2654]

Isnt empty city ruse just a worse fog?

[@NizzahonMagic]

No. Keeping creatures from attacking at all is a pretty big difference from preventing damage.

[@natenathan2654]

I mean i guess there are some creatures that get valu3 just for attacking (prime time ect)

[@NizzahonMagic]

@@natenathan2654 Yep, turns off "beginning of combat" triggers too.

[@RichardMitchell-nk9ec]

Love me some cardkingdom

[@quintenhaire1037]

I'm not nearly as surprised as you that a standard card made the list. That's simply the economy of standard.

[@NizzahonMagic]

It doesn't happen very often in my "most expensive" videos, usually there are just other cards that are more expensive. The only exception to this is usually cards that are seeing play in a zillion formats and ar mythic rare (like Sheoldred or Atraxa). So, I'm surprised based on experience.

[@jumpsteady1777]

Enlightened tutor feels like it won on a technicality. Its been printed as a rare, in premium sets only, after 1999, after going 15 years without even being printed. The price reflects that decision as if it was an uncommon in dom remaster or eternal masters, it wouldnt stand a chance over $10. Case of rhystic study type cards. Its price reflects moderm day rarity price. High demand common/uncommon from 90s sets might as well be considered rares now a days.

[@NizzahonMagic]

I don't feel like having a high price tag because it is scarce given the incredibly high demand is a "technicality." These are the exact reasons that all cards have the prices they do.

[@jumpsteady1777]

@NizzahonMagic your criteria is based on the lowest cost version obtainable. The lowest cost version obtainable of enlightened tutor is high because it's been reprinted as a rare since. If it was reprinted as a uncommon, consistently, it wouldnt be #1. Thats not objective, it's just true when you uplift a rarity in the way ET has been. Its price reflects rarity track printing, largely. Not uncommon, since it HAS been reprinted as rare. Im not even being closed to convinced that's not a technicality. Criteria should also be not being reprinted as rare lol. It's no longer uncommon throughout.

[@jumpsteady1777]

@@NizzahonMagic in business terms it's reprinted at rare to maintain the reprinted equity of the price it's reached. They reprinted it at rare, among others, specifically to maintain the price because it wouldnt maintain the equity as a uncommon track printing in modern reprints. So that completely spoils the concept of "ideally the cheapest version" available. They seen an old uncommon reach rare price and choose not to ruin that.n it's artificially holding that price at the mercy of wizards up shifting rarity. Its hardly "uncommon" pricing.

[@jumpsteady1777]

@NizzahonMagic still love the channel, just calling shenanigans on this one. First one I've called out in like 700+ so you're fine

[@NizzahonMagic]

​@ Ah, I get your point now. Your'e saying I shouldn't have included cards that haven't been Uncommon in every printing. Yeah, that's a reasonable enough argument. I still think it's fine to include cards that were originally printed at Uncommon and reprinted at higher rarities, but I can see where you're coming from.

[@wertm123]

Should the Warhammer card really count as an Uncommon if players were never able to pull it out of a booster pack?

[@Milkybetrayal]

Let's go H

[@CoL_Drake]

what are these prices ? is cardkingdom so expensive ??? i dont know it as i am european and i use cardmarket but damn thats like so much more then i am used to the cheapest land tax is 8,50 € and the average is 13€ ... sheltered by ghost is cheapest 2,90 € with avergage 4,29 € (cheapest MINT 10/10 quality is 3€) card kingdom having double the prices is crazy

[@GigaBoost]

This just sounds like basic economics? If something is uncommon (ie rare) it's going to be more expensive than something that's common (ie plentiful).

[@RibusPQR]

The rarities are Mythic, rare, uncommon, common.

[@GigaBoost]

@@RibusPQR rare and uncommon are synonyms...

Rare and Uncommon are definitely synonyms in most ways. But...not in Magic. They are two very different things.
