"It turns magic into Yu-Gi-Oh" is the best explanation ever of why black lotus is so broken

It's really not. Yu-Gi-Oh is much more straightforward while magic has more complicated steps to play.

[@mattjones2811]

Not really a downside though, it actually enables infinite mana loops more often

[@AwkwardDreamer]

@mattjones2811 it's more of a 'In the vacuum of the question' sort of thing. Choosing 3 mana over 1 is a no Brainer. 3 one time use over 'permanent' 1 mana each turn is a little harder.

[@mattjones2811]

@@AwkwardDreamer true though im not surprised the yugioh player didnt care about that argument. Yugioh games are a lot faster than magic games so three immediate mana probably seemed like a no brainer to him.

There's a documentary about MtG going back to its inception and Garfield playtesting with some guys. One of the guys said, "I don't think the mox are any good. I mean, this green mox might as well be another forest." One of the other testers said, "I'll trade you for a forest." He said, "Ok." 😆

[@bboops23]

When I first started learning about MTG I thought the mox cards sounded fine. But I also only knew of Commander as a format at first. My husband had to explain that in standard this could mean that you could have 5 mana on turn 1 if you managed to draw all 4 of your mox cards. Apparently, the only reason the mox cards are banned in Commander is because of they weren't it would require either reprinting them or necessitating people spending thousands just to have a copy for commander

My brother in christ desires is not -9. The cards you “lose” are not cards that you had access to anyway. Remember, cards in deck are as good as useless until you get them out of the deck.

well mentioning the black lotus is gone afterwards and mox is not would also be important

[@v-niftytrickster4166]

Same thing I was thinking

[@aWildKITsune]

The thing about the lotus is~ in the format it's legal in, the game is over before it matters

[@OatmealTheCrazy]

​@@aWildKITsune This, you are probably dead before they equalize. If you're not dead, it's because it's control shenanigans and your stuff is dead at least.

[@Ogema-1]

This is just for fun so don't take it too seriously; An important thing to remember is that moxen and lands don't actually generate infinite mana only by the number of times it been tap. Its not very relevant when the games end in 1,2,or 3 turns. They do no represent infinite value when turns are finite, unless you combo off. Lands are also much worse due to being gated at once per turn but better in the sense that "destroy non-land permanents" is a common clause but obviously "as many moxes as you want" is way more powerful. Running lands risk bricking versus just running moxen, it mostly because all fast mana is limited to 1. It would be interesting to see how few lands would be run if it was unrestricted. There also the matter of card efficiency being 1 card to get 3 mana, all color, and the reach of having more mana in a single turn to use a powerful spell, and opening up option that would be otherwise dead cards. In the context of the game or format the fact that lotus is gone afterwards is NOT actually that important because the game is so fast and tempo loss so significant, the most valuable tap is the first one and each subsequent ones are less valuable, this is the Time Value of Mana since doing stuff now is more valuable then doing stuff later. Even if you do manage to tap a mox for 3 times over 3 turns, the value of the mox still does not equalized the value generated by a B. Lotus and its unlikely 4 or 5 turns still appear to be "worth it". Does sticking around add value, yes and we can analyze to what degree, Moxen>L.Petals barely and not in all situations. So a triple L.Petal condense into one card makes the most powerful cards in the game, the moxen, look terrible in comparison. Moxes are somewhere between 1< fast mana but

[@cambarnum9639]

Don't forget you're talking about a yugioh player, where games may take a while, but are decided by turn 3 on average, so it wouldn't even equate to a black lotus by the time its over. Pace is huge in TCGs, and realizing how fast yugioh is compared to every other TCG puts into perspective that Konami needs to slow it the hell down to bring in new players

[@pinguinkonig3464]

[@LesbianWitchAcademia]

​@@awesometubing9471 That's not exactly true. Yu-Gi-Oh DOES have resources, but they're more ephemeral than Magic's. While Magic lets you do anything you want (outside of rare hard 1/turn effects), so long as you can pay for it, Yu-Gi-Oh does have the hard limit of only a single normal summon effect, outside of very rare effects that give you a second. Yu-Gi-Oh's resource is cards. Draw and searching is everything in Yu-Gi-Oh, the same way mana is everything in magic, so comparing Black Lotus to Pot of Greed is actually quite valid.

Well yeah, but it's also a testimony of the old design philosophy of magic. Black Lotuses were supposed to be very rare, and your opponent was supposed to have his own super rare cards to even it out. In a competitive environment where everything gets all the cards they want it doesn't make sense. Similarly, Pot of Greed in the early Yu Gi Oh days was a good card, but not the game breaker it became. Context for this kind of cards is important, the game simply wasn't the same back then.

[@tonysmith9905]

We're talking about a format that is absolutely busted though. 2 mana can take you an extra turn. 3 can reset every one's hands. 1 can draw 3 cards. 1 can grab any card in your deck and put it on top, 2 can put any card from your deck into your hand. So 3 mana for free on turn one is absolutely devastating. Sure, your analogy is kinda accurate, but only if you don't realize that my cards that cost 3 or less are equivalent in power level to your strongest boss monsters..

do staple/ stinker but with price being the metric you're exploring- what does the 'upgraded' version of a card mean to your pocket? i'm thinking dark ritual vs lotus, stone rain vs sinkhole, that kind of thing. i mean, first and foremost you're a vendor and in a unique position to comment on the financial side of the game. or a bunch of cards with a similar effect and someone with no knowledge of the game try to rank them in order- how many were sold this month in a given category, like various mana rocks, various counterspells, black kill spells, etc etc. might be quite interesting to highlight trends in the game and present information that isn't just a wobbly line on a graph

I dont understand magic but from what i can guess from what he said with the mana: is this card the equivilant of pot of greed?

[@Mr.Mosquito89]

Yes, and no. MTG works by a mana system restraining its action economy; in order to cast a card, you pay the cost listed at the top right. Black Lotus costs 0, free, taps (turns sideways, to 'exhaust' it) and then sacrifices itself (goes to GY.) It taps for 3 of any color in a game where you can play one basic land (a seperate kind of card, typically say 'Tap : produce a mana of a color the card does creates') per turn, functionally ramping the speed you play at. Pot of Greed is similar in that YGO has no mana restriction but you could compare it to skipping three turns worth of delay, and could also be used to draw more cards or get MORE mana, or play creatures...

[@lugialover09]

I'd say it's similar to getting any card that gives you extra Normal Summons in how much it can drastically speed up building up a board.

​@@baxterbruce9827 Mox Lotus 15 to cast T: infinite mana. 100: to add one mana of a color to mana pool. You don't lose life to mana burn.

[@suwakomoriya5723]

Omniscience lets you play everything for free, that's pretty close

[@ich3730]

We have multiple cards that make your deck free. We also have hundreds of combos that make you gain infinite mana. Both dont create an experience close to yugioh, since these combos end the game instantly, you never have infinite mana long enough to "play the game like yugioh"

This is the first time I realized that black lotus is an artifact and not just a spell. So just an extra 3 mana on every single turn. Jesus.

[@lugialover09]

You have to sacrifice it to get the mana, so you have to find a way to get it back onto the field to keep using it. Which is absolutely doable, but it does require a combo of some kind

[@ColtonSpears]

It's one (of the many) things that make Lurrus one of the most overpowered card in Vintage. Before the companion nerf you could Lotus out Lurrus and replay the Lotus.

[@wellstead7619]

black lotus only makes three mana of one color for all three mana produced!! It's just a free dark ritual but with the ablity to change the color it produces!

[@zachblackwell1666]

Oh yes I am a Yu-Gi-Oh player and I realize that I'm always in every magic the gathering player's head 24/7 rent free and you know that's okay someone has to clean up that head sometimes

[@ares106]

These days we freecast or reanimate the biggest monsters for 1, so we don’t really need mana.

[@Ezullof]

We need mana on turn one to win the game before the opponent gets the opportunity to react. The only thing stopping Black Lotus is counterspells that don't cost mana.

[@skylar5257]

Now imagine if it wasn’t 3 mana of any single color but 3 mana of any color, meaning you can choose three different colors at most. The card would go from utterly broken to just the god cards or exodia status

[@phoenix2434]

Too bad black lotus is banned in all formats lol Also why isnt that card protected better and in a grading frame?

[@ich3730]

Lotus is legal in vintage, cube and casual magic.

[@mr.moonthegoon4178]

If you could put 50 black lotus in your deck you would lose to mana burn before you ever play a creature

[@Mournforthelost96]

Mana burn isn't in the game anymore.

[@ich3730]

Thats not how mana burn worked
