i remembered a game magazine said this is the worst card in Ice Age.. yeah worst so that it is banned and guilty for being broken.. Dark Ritual on the same set, turn one draw up to 19 cards, assuming you have zero costed mana producing artifacts and other Dark ritual or any other low costed spells, you might end up killing your opponents on the firs turn..
they print yawgmoth's Bargain, and it still banned.. now people take a look at ad nauseam

But the funniest thing is that WoTC reprinted this card in fifth because no-one hasn't yet relized how good this card is. Nobody has looked this card correctly. I'm not saying that I did, because I didn't. I remember the same game magazine article and we vall in our gaming society agreed. Then gradually we started to think that there might be something to this card. But the fifth was out and everything fall apart.

It's fun to see so many people say how great a card is and yet not know how it works...
1. You don't "wait a turn" you get them at the end of yours basically. (The end of the discard step, on your turn).
2. Paying 19 life? Have a DCI judge explain why that won't work.
3. Black Summer? Heh, when I started playing Magic, we had no banned list, no Restricted list, and if you went to a Type 1 tournament with 30 Black Lotuses in your deck, it was legal. And cheap. They costed about 5 dollars at the time. Hopefully someone here remembers that. Black Lotus went from 5 dollars, to like 50, in like ONE month.
The morons at the DCI who've ruined Type 1, I'm shocked they haven't taken aim at this more. I'll stop referring to them as idiots once Library of Alexandria and Fastbond become totally unrestricted again, and they allow Fastbond in Type 1.5.

I actually remember Inquest saying this was a bad card back when Ice Age first dropped. I'm going to see what I can dig up. I think they said it was the worst card in the set, if you can believe that.

5/5 its the one of the iconic broken cards. cards like this that stood the test of time and are still still seeing play in vintage decks are obviously broken.
