It was 1996, and I was overwhelmed with a absolutely new concept of a fantasy trading card game
As everyone knows, in the decks that made best use of the five Moxen blue was always the most sought after color due to cards like Time Walk and Ancestral Recall, so the Sapphire wins easily
This card is an absolute boon (or bane, depending on which side you are on) to the already popular pump-style Mono Red decks over the last few months
It will not reduce waterbend costs that are additional costs for casting spells
This green and black deck, much like its more modern counterpart, focuses on life gain and sacrifice , almost to a fault
Thats nice, but it also puts a +1/+1 counter on any nontoken creatures that enter the battlefield under your control, and lets you draw a card when you do so
