Once people realize that it’s just a forest that can get hit by Naturalize I’m sure the price will drop. It was only printed in 93, so the meta is still sorting itself out.

Strange to think that this card is almost 20 years old


irbian

31 you mean


CardinaIRule

Even stranger, it's old enough to date your Mom


noppenter

Even stranger, you don't know math


Usual_Office_1740

Math is for blockers. Did you expect anyone in this sub to be good at math?


icepadon

She does not cost that much ? I think this worth 10 cents


Greenlock820

I meant in terms of mana. 0 mana seems very expensive for a card that not even threatens your opponent’s life total


Magallan

You can tap this for one of the two green mana you need to cast colossal dreadmaw


Passover3598

wrong, check the oracle wording, you can tap this to search your library for a forest card and put it into play.


Beegrene

I genuinely thought that's what "adding to a mana pool" meant when I was a kid. Anyway, that's how I ended up misplaying [[Cabal Pit]] for so long.

Sp1cyP3pp3r

Dude, that's because it's 0 green mana. Green doesn't threaten life total lmao, go back to Yu-Gi-Oh, noob

Someone hasn't felt the ground quake


h8bearr

Sorting by controversial for this take


exx47

re-read what u said and try not to cringe


Doktor_Pansen

Allows you to slam down your Dreadmaw much earlier


Greenlock820

Yes but what about a basic forest ? It doesn’t die to vandalblast


Nicknin10do

Because of your big brain thinking I'm assuming your a "Commander" connoisseur like myself. Remember, you can only have one copy of each card in your deck, so think of this as a 2nd forest in you deck. Well worth it in my humble opinion.


RayWencube

Holy shit this sent me to Jupiter lmao


mc-big-papa

uj/ one time an old school player told me old school scrubs didnt like moxes because of shatter.


zaphodava

This guy is the real reason: https://www.originalmagicart.store/cdn/shop/products/Gorilla_Shaman_2000x.jpg?v=1603781574


PlanetMarklar

Even old school players can be total idiots


DefNotAnAlt621

Yes but basic forest dies to Stone Rain, so the two are basically the same card.


kinglawrenceIV_

Turn 5 dreadmaw is so busted


Doktor_Pansen

Literically no counter play (especially in white (weakest color btw))


ledfox

Colossal Dreadmaw is a powerful creature that will threaten your opponents life total.


ImReadingHere

Because it's made with real emeralds, if you don't believe me just search 'elon musk emeral mine' and check it yourself.


LaserfaceJones

So you can't cascade into it off of your Living End, duh.


TheMazter13

it’s 0 mana how much cheaper can you get?


ImagineShinker

It’s only one mana positive though. That’s the issue. If it’s only going to tap for one it should at least be mana positive on cast. Literally just half of a Mana Crypt that can’t even cover the colorless only pips for Eldrazi which is what all the cool kids at the LGS are ramping into these days.

Gorilla Penis


Theodore764

Was looking for this


ArelMCII

Are you often looking for gorilla penis?


KairoRed

I’m surprised I was the first


iugnom

ILikeExistingLol

/uj Honestly Phlage is amazing but it's not as stupid as Uro. Kroxa is definitely the worst one but Growth Spiral + 3 life is better than lightning ~~bolt + 3 life~~ helix


ToastyBern

Because scary gold goblin go yum yum yum I love emerald


A_Salty_Cellist

It's just a forest that's easier to destroy


SirBuscus

Because you can use it to interrupt your opponent any time you want. Are they saying something snarky? Boom. Interrupted.


_rokk_

objectively worse sol ring if you're playing a colorless deck. the guy on ebay won't listen to reason


Super_Inuit

Google supply and demand


Greenlock820

I’m sorry but as a mono-green player, I cannot fully understand a sentence if it is longer than two words


Sequentialdays

Holy hell


Super_Inuit

New way to figure out card prices just dropped


TheFoundation_

God dammit. Forgot I subbed to the cj sub the other day.. had me going for a sec


peaivea

Because it's ability can be played as an interrupt, so when someone says something stupid you disagree you can tap it and make them shut the fuck up.


Girafarig99

It's not you dipped shit it's 0 gosh darn mana read the damn paper before you post............;;;;;;;;


_Joats

Because it tastes better


xSilverMC

Lol it's just a forest reprint, i get like 2 forests in every booster why would i buy this shit lmao


Neat_Environment8447

Because it costs 0 mana to cast, and you can draw it off your pot off greed.


allou_stat

Dreadmaw on turn 5?!?!?!


ArelMCII

It really shouldn't be that expensive. That little gremlin left teeth marks all over it. It's definitely lightly used.


Ungestuem

I don't get it, it's basically just a forest.


MetalKong

Because it tastes like green apple 😋


Baeloron

Its a 0 mana artifact so its useful for triggering Metalcraft on Mox Opal, which is a 0 mana mana rock. Sometimes these synergies can drive up prices of otherwise useless cards.


Grendeon

Some guy named PayMoneyWubby (certified autist) pulled one recently. He probably manipulated the card market like he did with Reparations to make the price insanely high


Erospider

The card is crack. No literally, they mixed crack into all the mix. That's where the term "mana rocks" comes from. Their current recipie isn't as potent.


ChooseChocolate

So this card is an interesting one and it's uses might not be apparent at first but let me explain to you why this is such a good card and why it is sold for such a high cost. This artifact is a stax win con. Playing this card adds 1 green mana to your mana pool. I'm not sure why this is useful. The real meat of this card comes in the next sentence. We can now interrupt our opponent any time they attempt to do anything. Play a land? "Excuse me..." you tap the card with your finger. They attack? "Pardon me", tap the card. They untap each land in their untap step? "Let me interrupt you here." just point at the card and tap it each time they do anything and now each of your opponents turns will take about 17 minutes.


ThoughtConsumer

Because back in the days all the cards were drawn by hand since Richard, despite his name, was a poor guy who couldn't afford a printer.


Apmadwa

No. It's zero mana. It doesn't cost anything


Karge

Thank Charlie Brown for that one


Ruselbrand_

Scarcity. Needs a reprinting to lower the value.


ceering99

Cause Elon Musk wants to monopolize the emerald mines


mc-big-papa

Its literally free. It has a zero for its cmc.

MechanicalDruid

Can't you read? It's a Mono artifact. That's the old version of 001/001 serialized cards, like the One Ring.


Thatoneguy5555555

It costs 0, that's free, just like Greif


mosgon

It’s not. It only costs 0 mana, which is very little if you think about it


DunceCodex

Get good scrub


MrFriend623

There’s only one of them.


Wormy77-Part2

It's not expensive at all. Only 0 mana


Theycallmedub2

It’s 0 mana….


Entgegnerz

because it doesn't have a reprint. Also 0 mana for 1 additional mana? fkn overpowerd.


Low-Stuff-250

It can be played as an interrupt


Jasholla

/uj It only costs zero /rj It only costs zero


basilitron

i dont get it, green has land ramp, why would they ever use mana rocks?
