Greatest block of all time?
>>
>>54833955
No. Terrible block. Worst block since Kaladesh.
>>
>>54833955
Under what standards?

It's one of the better blocks in a few years, sure.
>>
>>54833955
It's no Ravnica but it was okay
>>
>>54833955
That would be Innistrad
>>
Ice Age is the greatest block of all times because it had dinosaurs.

Of course, when that new Aztec Dinosaur block comes out, I'll just throw away all my Ice Age cards because DINOSAURS MOTHERFUCKER!
>>
Odyssey is probably the best block of all time, as far as all-around quality goes.

Power level wise urza block literally cannot be topped. The guys making the cards don't have the teeth to print shit like that again.

KANGZblock is better than TRAINZblock, but that's not a high bar.
>>
>>54833955
The greatest block of all time would be Time Spiral block, with probably either original Zendikar or Urza's as the second place. Amonkhet probably doesn't even make top 10.
>>
>>54836110
I came here to post same opinion. Time spiral was GOAT, with Ravnica and Urza's being up there as well. Mirrodin had awesome flavour, but fuck that standard
>>
Greatest Block.
>>
>>54836110
>>54836151
Glad to see Time Spiral getting the love it deserves.
>original Zendikar
I'm curious, why does that top e.g. Innistrad in your eyes?
>>
>>54837096
Not that anon, but the flavor of Zendikar was much better (fucking adventurers out the ass), and it didn't have cumbersome mechanics like Innistrad's werewolf transformations. I actually got back into MtG for a while because of Innistrad, but it was such a disappointment and waste of potential.
>>
>>54833955
It's okay. Not as good as OG Zendikar or the original Ice Age block, but eh. I had fun with it.
>>
>>54836869
Why is that giantess flashing the village?
>>
Original Innistrad
Time Spiral
Odyssey
Original Ravnica
Lorwyn

Top 5

You guys are cool

But really the greatest block was pic related. It was a revelation when it came out and easily the best pre-modern borders block. Time Spiral is a close second though.
>>
Easily Time Spiral, Lorwyn, OG Innistrad, and OG Ravnica. Special mention to Tarkir because triple Tarkir draft/standard was fun.
>>
>>54833955
I thought it was theros 2.0
>>
>>54837431
The limited is much better.
>>
Shadowmoor
>>
Tempest
and
Timespiral

I'll always be fond of Invasion even though in hindsight it was all over the place, but it was the peak of WotC lore-driven blocks
>>
Jed Clampett, obviously.
>>
>>54837274
>Original Innistrad block
>With Avacyn Restored drafted
No. Innistrad is one of the best sets, but not the best block
>>
>>54837096
Og Zendikar had great flavor and was filled with extremely powerful cards, and came out before WotC decided to try and put a new gimmicky card frame in every set and cumbersome mechanics like transform.
>>
Lorwyn/Shadowmoor
>>
>>54836100
They 'don't have the teeth' to print things like Urza's block again because they were told if they did that again they'd all get fired, and almost WERE all fired at the time.

probably this
>>
>>54837370
Invasion draft is great, thankfully boxes of that block are still pretty reasonably priced.
>>
>>54833955
I like Amonkhet. It's punchy in a way that is more fun than Tarkir was but not quite as fun as the best punchy set of all time (Lorwyn).

Amonkhet also has some of my favorite lore in recent years. I'd say it's my favorite original setting since Innistrad. I'm very happy about the 5E supplement that put out for it. That plus the art book gives me everything I need to base a campaign in Amonkhet.

The fact that you're even suggesting that tells me you started playing like a month ago.

That is the incorrect picture you silly Billy.

There hasn't been a good block since alpha.
