He's worth a lot because he's one of the first editions of him

He's worthless due to better cards being available now

He was also reprinted many times, bringing down his value (like {shivan dragon}

Yeah, I have an old school {Breeding Pit} /Thrull deck that has {Fallen Angel} and {Lord of the Pit} as the finishers.  It's fun but not as competive as it was 20 years ago.  Runs a bunch of Fallen Empires cards.  Ha!

White border cards usually aren't worth so much. Very very old black border cards with no set symbol are worth a LOT.

I highly doubt that you have ALL of them. Either way, are you looking to trade or just awkwardly brag?

You are talking to collectors....


If you truly understood original mtg than you would know that compared to today's mtg......the old spells were way over powered, like {ancestral recall} and {time walk}.  Whereas, the old creatures were very underpowered, like {lord of the pit} or {craw giant} or {serra angel}.

Look at today and you have much better options like {demon of deaths gate}, {primalcrux}, or {archangel of thune}.  But when you compare spells you have to use {concentrate} to do what {ancestral recall} did or something like {temporal mastery}, {temporal manipulation}, or {capture of jongzhou} to do what {time walk} did.


I'm using the word "spell" in a general sense to define instants and sorceries.......since technically all cards are spells while on the stack ;)
