Mirrodin has folded words like "Chrome Mox" and "Gilded Lotus" back into common Magic parlance. Why is this exciting? Because the original Moxen and Lotus form six of Magic's so-called Power Nine, a nonuple of the most rule-breakingly powerful cards ever to grace cardboard. In case you've heard the term but don't know the cards, here's a rundown of the original Power Nine:
|
|
Black Lotus |
Time Walk |
|
|
Ancestral Recall |
Mox Sapphire |
|
|
Mox Jet |
Mox Ruby |
|
|
Mox Pearl |
Mox Emerald |
|
Honorable Mention: Library of Alexandria, arguably Magic's most powerful land, rounds out most people's list of the Power Ten. |
