@GainsBanding: It actually checks for the expansion symbol that's printed on the card. Chronicles cards with the Antiquities expansion symbol would be sacrificed.
206.3. A spell or ability that affects cards from a particular set checks only for that set’s expansion symbol. A card reprinted in the core set or another expansion receives that set’s expansion symbol. Any reprinted version of the card no longer counts as part of its original set unless it was reprinted with that set’s expansion symbol.

Magic wouldn't exist if these existed in every expansion. Unless they actually did what they should have done years ago and banned these for good. This card functions too similarly to Chaos-Orb - in a way Magic simply shouldn't work.
So does this hose reprints off the original set? Are cards of a later block actually worth MORE because of crap like this. Jesus christ.

Why do these cards exist????The flavor of this card needed to be explained some more to make sense of its significance to Dominia...

The only time cards like this should exist is in un-sets. Period.

Yeah, why are there cards that are set based?

Idea for 'build a better Cylex'. The 'hose an expansion' thing is dumb, but this particular one needs more love because it is responsible for....ummm...Magic: the Gathering as we know it, as opposed to every war being technological advances in artifice (basically, the real world).
Urza's Sylex CMC 3
Legendary Artifact- Mythic Rare
1, T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
T: Destroy all artifacts, creatures, and lands from antiquity (before the Modern card frame),
then exile Urza's Cylex.
I'm letting Planeswalkers and Enchantments live because:
a) not too many broken enchantments, and a cheap repeatable Obliterate
is not a card you should want to make. This will still leave you a game to work with,
but not much.
b) I made it cheaper to cast than Disk so it'd be interesting, and Legendary because it's
obviously Legendary.
c) It exiles itself, which is a better way of preventing repeated use than leaving open the possibility
of making it Indestructible.
d) I choose des... (see all)

WHAT?! one of the weirdest cards ever...
does it destroy only cards that were originally printed in antiquities, or cards with the expansion symbol (lands)?
