Top 10 Cards that Cost 0

[@themanalogs7876]

Hi, 2 things about the mystery box: 1: Its just my merch in a bundle. Its not some other company. 2: 95% of the content in the box is the exact same as all the other boxes. The only thing you get different are some of the types of merch in it. IE, a different color playmat. And of course the random card. But every box gets a card. So its not different from opening a booster pack.

[@aleksanderborkowski1973]

Yeah i checked this bundle on your merch site. Stuff excluding random cards is worth about half of a price you ask and then YGO cards, even if they would be something insane, are not worth even a penny for MtG player, which are target audience if this video. Laughable.

[@remigusker6024]

I'm genuinely curious how many subs you're gonna lose over this.

[@samarius_art_and_games]

@@themanalogs7876 hey, a single card being in the bundle shouldn't double the price. Get your pricing act together and learn your target audience.

[@themanalogs7876]

@@aleksanderborkowski1973 I feel like your failing to realize these are merch items, and not just random items. For merch with proper branding and all the work that goes into getting it made, everything is priced at around normal or even cheaper prices than similar merch from other content creators. If anything, the discount from buying the bundle("Mystery Box") comes out to be a really cheap price for everything inside when compared to other merch or similar items from other content creators. Now compared to just random official items sold by major retailers: Yes it is more expensive. But so is all content creator merch.

[@samarius_art_and_games]

@@themanalogs7876 you're failing to address the problem. A CARD SHOULD NOT DOUBLE THE PRICE OF A BUNDLE.

Guys, seriously, its just merch. If you dont want to support the creator, dont buy the merch. If you do want to support the creator, then do buy the merch. It is really that simple and it is not about the cards. It is going to be priced above non-merch goods, stuff like this always is.

[@TheLuckySpades]

How poorly is the merch selling that you need to make lootboxes out of them?

[@themanalogs7876]

I'm not sure how well they are selling with or without the boxes since they all launched at the exact same time. If you check the website, the boxes are basically just a bundle of all the merch. But the ad definitely makes you think its a lot more random than it really is, since its intention was just to be a riff on old infomercials which try to make their product seem more grand and exciting than they really are. 95% of the content of the boxes is the same as all the others. Even the "random cards" are basically just extras that are not even included in the price of the bundle on the back-end.

[@ketchubb]

imagine being that butthurt over this. its not about getting a good deal or going plus. this is about supporting a creator we all listen to for hours and hours.

Love how you did 1st place in this list. It kinda breaks the integrity of a top 10 but it truly puts into perspective how beyond powerfull 0 mana mana production is. Be vintage, cedh modern or legecy they have decks that are completly reliant on some of these and they are usually the best cards in their respective decks. Affinity, dredge, belcher as just some examples.

[@Interesting_Failure]

It never took off, but there were a few attempts to use Jeweled Lotus in 60-card eternal formats. The idea was to combine it with the artifact Doubling Cube which doubles the mana in your pool; Doubling Cube doesn't copy properties of that mana, so in this case you would get three usable mana by copying the three unusable mana generated by the lotus. I don't believe this was ever competitive, but the fact that adding "you can't spend it" to black lotus _still_ didn't stop people from considering it really says something.

[@Tera_GX]

A thought on your editing style (been loving your content for almost two years), it stands out that you like to use the most recent printing, which I think is good, but you also go into the history of cards regularly; I'm thinking maybe it would be good context to show the original printing of these first since "that" card tends to be the icon of when each of these made a name for themselves (maybe still switch to the recent printing after a couple seconds for readability's sake).

Since I'm only a casual player - might someone explain the "instant" restriction on Lion's eye diamond? Technically it remains an activated ability of a permanent, or not?

[@universalperson]

The original printing was "play this ability has a mana source". Mana sources as a card type don't exist anymore but there's still a rule where valid mana generating effects immediately resolve to pay mana costs. The instant restriction on Lion's Eye Diamond prevents things such as casting a spell and then using Lion's Eye to pay for it, bypassing part of the discard effect.

[@TheLuckySpades]

@@6rimR3ap3r mana abilities do not use the stack, and can be activated during (parts of) casting a spell I.e. I can cast a spell and as part of casting it I activate mana abilities With LED I need to activate it *before* I want to use the mana

The most practical distinction is that you can't start casting a spell and pay with LED.

Chalice: "people only play 1 or 2 copies in their deck"... that by definition means it does not deserve to be in a top-10, and that's not to mention that its effective real cost is not zero.

[@brettwilliams522]

But it’s effective cost is zero though, there are plenty of cards that merely look for a presence of artifacts to exist in order for effects to go of or even have valid targets to resolve. That said it does classify under effective zero, it’s more a bonus then then anything that you can play it for kicker costs to get something for its direct existence. The variable uses put it above other zero costs that could of taken its slot. Every zero cost artifact does hold some level of value in its existence, but most of them are finite in its use, where chalice dodges that same limitation
