Honestly, I think the best way to evaluate a set is its playability. THAT was winning tournaments with the ABRU card pool. The cards that aren't are ridiculously broken and really unfun to play with on any large scale. Those first sets of magic are 90% pure chaff. I'm actually kind of surprised SO many people are saying ABRU, especially citing "power" cards as the reason why they're the BEST SET EVER! There were plenty of great sets with some great cards, which is part of the reason I am a lot poorer today than I would have been without them. For power level, nothing even comes close.īut don't get me wrong. My best deck wouldn't be possible without this set. When revised came out all that was left were the duals. It was the last set printed with both the dual lands AND the Power 9. I wouldn't have 2 of my decks without these cards. Three cards ( Brain Freeze, Mind's Desire, Tendrils Of Agony) IMO defined this set. Arguably the most broken mechanic in all of magic. So many degenerate Vintage and Legacy decks wouldn't even be playable without this block. Some of the most broken and fun to play cards in the history of this game. There have been so many good sets I wouldn't be able to pick a BEST. Tons of just horribly bad design in Masques block, from more fiddling around with the "free" mechanic which always ends up with at least 1 awful mistake every single goddamn time they try it to boring, clunky cards for most everything else. I would add that being part of the block that added Daze and Rishadan Port to the card pool is not a plus. It's noteworthy that Masques was part of a block that included Prophecy and Nemesis, which were downright horrible sets, compared to Planeshift and Apocalypse, which have tons of fun cards in them. In contrast, Masques had a horrendously bad standard, following up Urza's OP with an UP block that was dominated by Rebel tribal (ugh) and the nauseating Rishadan Port. It also had the kicker cards like Rushing River, and just plain good but not OP cards like Hull Breach. That's just what I can remember off the top of my head. It's about Standard and the extended formats at the time, as well as casual. Is Invasion viewed warmly positively entirely because of its popular edh cards like the dragon cycle, aura shards, sterling grove etc? Even Mercadian Masques has like 5 playable rares or so. Invasion is 350 cards and has literally not one legacy-playable rare (and virtually no playable commons or uncommons). Quote from busdudeI'm not sure why Invasion is often called one of the best sets.
