I bought my first Hylian Shield here but then it got eaten by a Like-Like.

Favorite land better than Library of Alexandria if you're trying to dig through your library

@joesayers1: Just go by the oracle text. Draw 2 and discard 3, no library searching and no shuffling required.

Just off-frame: local imam telling conspicuous American soldiers that he'd rather deal with the Dutch. Ooh! Some (semi-)topical humour for you there. Unlike Tropical Humour, which sounds like something an 18th century sailor would contract from a teenage Polynesian girl.

Okay...question (this is an old card so I need verification). Does this card let you go through your whole library to find your two cards or must they be taken from the top only? It doesn't say to reshuffle your library so I'm thinking it's the top two cards only, but verification from a high source would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :)

Very VERY overrated card. Vintage has been on the decline for 3 years now; everyone seems to be wanting to play Legacy these days over Vintage. Even in Vintage the problem is, because everything is now based on the 1st or 2nd turn kills, you can no longer effectively take advantage of what this card does (it generally took at least 2 to 3 turns before anyone who played this card could fully take advantage of what it could do, and you rarely won the game the first turn you used this card).

question... this one says "take two cards" not draw, so doesn't that mean the card says i can take any two cards instead of just the top two? :P
lol, jk, jk, but ya, it seems like an old one, would be cool to see a reprint. I mean, its not game breaking as far as I can tell (unless you discard 3 Servitors then play another)

Gee, I wonder where Baghdad fits into the multi-verse.

the only rational card to debate "is this better than Black Lotus?" Obviously it's Easy to just say "of course not, Lotus Is Best.", but the thing to remember is that this card is the reason why the Dredge Deck don't need to PLAY Black Lotus, and in fact even if it could probably wouldn't Most of the time, and when it deigns to, that's sort of uncommon for it.
A deck that has the right to be haughty enough to look at the Black Lotus sitting right in its binder and say "I don't think I'll use it today", even when acquistion of the Lotus is no barrier, is a deck that counts enough to be solely responsible for a card being able to contend with Black Lotus for the coveted 'Top Card in Game'.
Time Walk? Yawgmoth's Will? They want mana to play, and while YawgWin is super extraordinarily powerful even by Vintage standards, you can play your Yawgmoth's Will combos better and faster if you have Lotus and Ancestral Recall and Mox... (see all)
