One thing I really liked about this matchup was how many random benefits I got from playing weird cards
Set Number 248 Language Italiano Legal Formats Commander, Legacy, Modern, Vintage Not Legal Formats Alchemy, Brawl, Competitive Brawl, Historic, Pauper, Pioneer, Standard, Timeless Rulings (10/15/2006) Anything that triggers during the resolution of this will wait to be put on the stack until everything is put onto the battlefield and resolution is complete
The prices bear this out, as evidenced by super-staples like Cyclonic Rift or Rhystic Study
However, these smaller products (the multiplayer ones, and the Duel Decks that are two decks specifically designed to play against each other) have intrigued me could they be a way of enjoying Magic again without entering into the financial insanity of another CCG (I already play L5R, but thats vastly cheaper than Magic)
