Magic:Best Of 2004

[KLS]

well folks, november is coming to an end and i feel that we should post some decks/cards, that has been popular in 2004, and cards that have been obviously underestimated but came back like lightining.

I feel that Arc-Slogger has made a great impact, during 2004
Arc-Sloggers were sold for $3 and $2 if you were lucky but now they are selling for $5 or $6 a piece, now why could that be?
well let's look at Arc-Slogger
Arc-Slogger
Beast
4 colorless, 1 mountain
4/5
1 mountain: remove the top 10 cards off of your library, deal 2 damage to target creature or player.

if you've noticed in type 2, can you please name me a decent red creature that has a solid attack and defense, with no drawbacks, and that is used in practically every red deck.
now once you think about it, there is none, until Arc-Slogger came by. He was underestimated greatly i mean come on look at it's effect 10 CARDS?!, but as time progressed little did we know that this underestimated card would become a staple in freshmakers and mono-red. Slogger's effect isn't have bad, when you win the game you usually have 40 or 30 cards in your deck, so all it's asking you is to win the game quicker for a fewer cards off of your deck, arc slogger's effect isn't suppose to be used 10 times, it's simply a finisher, but it's a devastating finisher... very.

KLS-san: 10/10

Skullclamp I believe Has made one of the biggest Impacts, Lasting only one set on the unbanned list

Skullclamp 1
Artifact - Equipment
Equipped creature gets +1/-1. When equipped creature is put into a graveyard, draw two cards.
Equip 1
Uncommon

Enter Skullclamp. This Card Revolutionized play because of the great effect, Low cost, and low equip, Especially coming out in Darksteel with the Modular abilities. This added a key part to the ravager Affinity Decks...Example: Skullclamp a Arcbound worker: Modular 1 counter and draw two cards. This was the main play. And to add more, Skullclamp makes it's way into being searchable with leonin squire(although it was already banned by then). It's Brokenness has shown itself at many regionals. AND ITS UNCOMMON making it easy to get from boosters. Sadly, it was banned June 20th near the release of Fifth Dawn. It was priced at about $5-6 dollars...pretty high for just an uncommon eh?

Digi-kun: 10/10
