What-freakin'-ever.
Ah, I fondly recall Tempest block.
Turn 4 wins were common with red.
Every deck had land...then four Cursed Scrolls...then the rest of the deck.
We had glorious rares such as Deadshit...er, Deadshot, Bellowing Fiend, Duplicity.
Mox Diamond changed from a crazy rumor to a crazy reality.
Ah, I fondly recall Urza's Block.
Broken from the word 'go' with Tolarian Academy, Stroke of Genius, Morphling, Sneak Attack, Worship...
Let's continue on to Grim Monolith, Palinchron, Ring of Gix, Rancor...
And GLORY to Urza's Destiny! Masticore, Rofellos, Replenish and Opalescence IN THE SAME SET, Yawgmoth's Bargain, Donate, Thorn Elemental....BAAAAAAH-ROOOOOO-KENNNNNN!
Mercadian Masques leaves them both in the dust. So many of you people are so used to such a blatantly BROKEN environment that you think that a balanced block sucks!
Deal with it. I hope every expansion from now on is like Masques.
