My Antiquities Collection | Old School Magic the Gathering |

[@seanz1115]

Beautiful set The old school art looks SO GOOD Hand painted is the way to go

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Couldn't agree more!

[@kw6562]

By your time frames, I just realized we are the same age. I started collecting at the end of revised. My first full set, I put together was Alliances.

[@MTGBros]

Exactly when I started.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Me too, I was lucky that we had a local shop that still sold revised boosters till late 1996.

[@kw6562]

I remember going to the local tcg when black lotus was $350 and you could get any dual land for $20 a piece.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

We need to invent a time machine, it needs to happen.

[@joeb1522]

I remember as well. An Alpha Black lotus was $350-400 in my local tcg.

[@Peter-ju6vn]

i remember when i bought beta black lotus for 250$ and dual lands were 10$ at my lgs.

[@lucasmtg483]

wow Tim, congrats for this SUPERB video...the perfect video. Brings together the set cards, synergies, flavor text, AND THE INNER-MESHING OF THOSE STORYLINES VS CARDS ABILITIES. Magnificent mix of information you brew ! When I came back into MTG world 20 yrs after my teenage, I was fascinated about the ITALIC STORIES. I discovered what I ognored in my young age, the link from elder dragons, old disappeared Thran empire, the big villain Yawgmoth that is a pending menace, the 2 brothers, the archeologist clans of Soldev, New Argive, Tocasia, Drafna & Hurkyl ... Soo cool to have this Archeology theme in the stories....so rich Also, these is a cool sub story line about Drafna & Hurkyl from the destroyed Lat-Nam school that has reborn later after brother's war as the School of the Unseen as a protective a/g other cataclysm. (like a Poudlar's hidden wizard academy).

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks Lucas and you're right, the Hurkyl and Drafna story is very interesting. There is just so much lore going on...

[@energetek661]

Working on building a set cube of antiquities. Already have a set cube of the brothers war. I cant get enough of this story.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

🙌 The og novel os also a great read

[@energetek661]

@@TimmytheSorcerer Am in the process of reading it. Great so far!

[@MTGBros]

I’m working on a set right now. Love it.

[@CelticMTG]

Same! I am working on the four horseman. I have finished Arabian Nights and The Dark, and I need Workshop to finish this one! Legends, well... it's another beast...

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Love the collecting part of it. I'm slowly buying singles at events when I see a 93/94 card that I don't have yet (and doesn't has the asking price of a car) 😂

[@robertvincent180]

Traded two workshops for an archeologist to complete my set, at the time it wasn't a terrible trade.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I can imagine that, creatures were set much higher on the food chain back in the day.

[@Matt-dc8lp]

Nice collection. I remember back in the day (95ish) not being a fan of antiquities. Packs were expensive, only 8 cards, and at the time I didnt find most of the cards very powerful.

[@UnicowBoySlots]

Ohhhh man I think we are both close to age....in middle school when a black lotus was a couple hundred bucks that was too much 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ I wish I sold everything to buy one haha I love collection videos And on my wish list: candelabra, mishra’s workshops, transmute artifact

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Those are beautiful cards to have on a wishlist, I would love extra copies of those myself :D

[@kooscramer8145]

Amazing video!!! Love it!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Koos! Dank je wel man :D

[@soldierofmankind]

Nice collection! I might start collecting revised and 4th ed since that was the time I started. thank you mate!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

4th should be relatively easy to collect, since you don't have duals.

[@kaijulydmium7270]

nice. seems like your candlelabra is off centrer like mine. missing that workshop thou.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thnx, the candle is such a cool card 👌

[@intergalacticb8415]

This is beautiful. Congratulations !

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@koendertruifrok567]

Where to start about this set, the factories are super, tron one of my favorite playstiles especially with the colossus and rocket launcher. My current mono white build contains a rocket launcher in the sideboard great against black knights weenie and even killed a dragon whelp with it. Also the archeologist is nice in combination with the rocket launcher(chaos orb ofcourse nice) Strip mine a must play in OS triskelions all over the place. Suchi with the current rules a great drop as there is no manaburn left. Clay statue unexpected card but great against disco decks, factories etc I think this is one of the best sets made with cards that are reprinted till today.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Insanely powerful for such a small expansion.

[@mikelong2756]

I had a million grapeshot catapults and ornithopter. My buddy pulled a colossas and I was trying to get it off him I never did. God I probably pulled some good stuff but just didn't know what I had and years later my collection was stolen. Only a few years ago starting buying cards again.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Stolen, that's tough. How can you steal somebody's mtg collection, lowest of the low.

[@mikelong2756]

@@TimmytheSorcerer when one of your childhood best friends goes and gets hooked on heroin while broke and withdrawing nothing was off limits apparently. I had 5 big boxes in my attic. Naturally I didn't even realize they were gone until he was already off for 30 years in prison for numerous breaking an entertaining and what was considered a home invasion. Sucks lost basically my best friend to drugs and my collection to him

[@deeterful]

I freaking love Antiquities! My favorite OS creature is Triskelion. Nice collection, I have play-sets of most of the set, but my cards are in a more heavily played condition than yours. Sad story, years ago I traded my Mishra's Workshop for an Italian Moat. At that time it was a fair trade value wise. I wasn't playing with the Workshop and I seriously wanted a Moat. I now have three Moats and play them continuously, so on one hand I don't regret the trade, but when I think of how the cards appreciated in price I got hosed. Can't really complain beings as I did it to myself, LOL.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

I like the colours of the IT Legend cards 👌

[@thirdwavefinance8154]

like the stories/lore! adds a unique dynamic to these videos. what book are you referencing in this?

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

The Brothers' War by Jeff Grubb. Great novel if you like fantasy.

[@thirdwavefinance8154]

Thank you. Based on the images, I was thinking it was a graphic novel or comic book.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

@@thirdwavefinance8154 , the comics come from this blog post multiverseinreview.blogspot.com/2015/05/antiquities-war-1-4-urza-mishra-war-1-2.html

[@thirdwavefinance8154]

awesome, thanks a lot for sending the link!

[@unclerobbieslug]

Sui-ci is a cobra to me also

[@soldierofmankind]

I would suggest mate to bring the card closer to the camera - so that we can see the card better. 🙂 Just my two cents. Cheers!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks Benjamin, I'll see what I can do next time. I'm afraid I'll have to upgrade my camera first and prices are a bit ridiculous at the moment because of this whole crisis..

[@soldierofmankind]

@@TimmytheSorcerer Fair enough. No rush. It's just my personal comment on how to improve the quality of video especially the close up shots. 🙂 All the best mate.

[@CelticMTG]

As much as I am not the biggest fan of the set, this is from the four horseman the set with the best lore by far imo (AN being real world inspired and Legends DnD)

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

That's probably why it is my favourite set. Although, all 4 sets are magnificent for their own reasons. I remember thinking that Legends was a set with no end back in the day. I just kept seeing new cards with the weirdest abilities and art work :D
