I think I have a Magic addiction. I once dreamed of drafting with my friends with random packs. I opened up an Alpha booster (or was it Unlimited) and got a Black Lotus. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I should seek help. :)

There's a gem mint Alpha BL on ebay right now. For the same price you can get a 2013 BMW 3 Series.

Black Lotus is certainly powerful, but I think it's power is lessened a bit in EDH/Commander.
Sure, it would be a great draw during the first few turns, but after say, turn 9-10 when you already have most if not all of the mana you'll need for your deck, this card becomes a dead draw. I think the same thing whenever I see someone include Dark Ritual or Lotus Petal in their EDH/Commander decks - risky but worth it if you can draw it during the early game.
It would be a great help if you went against someone playing land destruction, or land tap (telekinetic sliver, opposition, etc) EDH/Commander decks, or if you were playing charged spells that can only get better with more mana (comet storm, banefire), though. Then it wouldn't be so much of a dead draw in the late game (post turn 10). However, by that point there are also better late-game ramp cards (autocar... (see all)
