Yes!! It's an untapped goldmine

"It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of a goblin, a tree, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, branching head surmounted a grotesque and wood-like body with rudimentary leaves; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful."

God Wood Elemental really might just have to be the worst fucking card of all time. Like, I feel like you can at least try to construct some stupid combo around Sorrow's Path. What the fuck do you do with a Wood Elemental? Is there something that might care about...lands hitting the graveyard?

It only took 10 years for Wood Elemental to be come marginally playable.

Double P/T combo with Forgotten Harvest! ...Next turn!
Yeah, this is the kind of card you only remember if you open it in a pack. And a reminder that as late as Prophecy they were still trying to push land sacrificing.

the 4/4s don't have haste. Clearly my game plan is the only line to victory.

Recall is the best because the three cards you draw could be anything. They could even be three Wood Elementals.
All this talk about old cards just reminded me of the Floral Spuzzem + R&D's Secret Lair "combo". I wish I had those two cards to fool around with every now and then.
Maybe then I could use the Spanish Meloku that puts 2/2 fliers into play, the Portuguese metalcraft counterspell that didn't even say "Counter target spell" on it and maybe the Jackal Familiar from M13/14 who couldn't attack or block altogether (they forgot the whole "alone" part).
Does anyone else remember other crazy translation errors which actually ended up making it to print in recent sets (as in Modern-legal ones)?

Started in Ice Age. There are a bunch.
That's very disrespectful to the memory of Saffi Eriksdotter.

There is a site that buys in bulk for a pretty good price.

Oh. I'll go sit in a corner now.
"sacrifice 80 power worth of forests to make a 20/20 wood elemental"
2k just seems like an absurd amount. I guess he was probably hoping to drive the price up himself.
Yeah Wood Elemental is pretty garbage. Is there any removal in those first few sets? Maybe it's good in a pure Legends draft? lol
Sticking in Legends, Angelic Voices is trash as well. Never understood the idea of "let's take a staple (crusade in this case), make it worse, and increase the casting cost!"
One of my other all time fav trash cards though is Aysen Highway. No surprise it's from perhaps the most useless set of all time.

The first few sets are full of well costed, efficient removal. For the first 6+ years of the game creatures were generally underpowered and spells were overpowered. Creatures that used to be viewed as overpowered are now not even playable as development have ramped creatures up.
For many years green was regarded as the trash colour because greens thing is creatures, and creatures weren't worth playing. How the times have changed...

I'd rather just draft 32 Pit Scorpions.
And almost all of them saw constructed play as well with the exception of the terrible Cantivore. Cognivore was played on Oath, Magnivore on Ponza, Terravore on Assault Loam, Detritivore on control mirrors and Mortivore saw some play out of SB's,
July FNM gets a promo Path. August will be a modern staple as well.
Tarmogo--ok. I can't even finish that without laughing.
Still cool that they're doing this. I bet it'll be like Inquisition or something.
It was a 3-5 dollar uncommon when it was in Standard. It'll never get a standard reprint so it's unlikely to drop hard.

Karla Ortiz must be getting an insane amount of publicity compared to other magic artists by having the only spoiled card of a set for so long with her new Liliana.

I'm going to try this in my prelim Manifest deck builds. Can't wait to start smashing lists together for it, it's going to be fun.
Are you already playing Halimar Depths?

I loved my Ice Age, and always thought the Lhurgoyf was awesome.
I have a group of friends that pronounces it "LUR-go-hoff". Drives me nuts.

God, Tarmogoyf is too fucking expensive. I wanna play BUG, but fuck goyfs.
Is it too much to ask to play a deck with Clique and Abrupt Decay and not have to cost two grand?

Serum Visions? 1st one that came to my mind.
I think so, but they fade a bit the more you do it.

I have to say, I don't know if its burnout or what, but this is one of the most boring Standard metas I can remember. Every time I play I get bored immediately.
