Black Lotus: Simply put, this card is the stuff of Legends. This is the Holy Grail of Magic cards, by far the most valuable card in the game, it can go anywhere from $500 to $2000, depending on condition. There is no deck in Magic that would not benefit from playing a Black Lotus. The ability to boost your mana by three for the cost of zero, with absolutely no drawbacks, is completely and utterly insane. Consider how good Lion's Eye Diamond was with the drawback of losing your entire hand - now translate that to a card with the same ability but with no drawback and you have the most powerful artifact in Magic's history. Black Lotus has unparalleled power in terms of mana acceleration, temporarily putting the owner 3 turns ahead in mana development. This advantage, combined with other efficient and powerful cards, allows its user to get so far ahead that victory can become inevitable as early as turn 1. Currently, Black Lotus is only allowed to be used in the Vintage tournament format, where it is included in almost every deck. Our Rating:
