The Power Nine

A name given by players of Magic: The Gathering to nine incredibly rare cards printed primarily in Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited known as Ancestral Recall, Black Lotus, Mox Emerald, Mox Jet, Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby, Mox Sapphire, Timetwister and Time Walk. These cards are widely considered the most powerful cards in the game, but are however illegal in every tournament format except for Vintage in which they are Restricted and therefore cannot contain more than one copy. Common attempts by Magic: The Gathering creators have been made to replicate the abilities possessed by Power Nine cards, but for a larger price to pay and/or for less effect- which further contributes to why these cards are considered so valuable. The five mana-producing Mox cards belonging to the Power Nine are commonly referred to as ‘The Moxen’ alongside the four other Power Nine. Although more ‘Mox’ cards were created, as were more additional turn spells in alignment with ‘Time Walk’, no others were later considered additional members of The Power Nine.

Joshua possesses every existing card from The Power Nine- I want to be like him!

Have a fucking poem

Nobody will look into your eyes
Everybody is dead inside, truly
Very often so we must brace ourselves
Everyone can tell, nothing else happens
Rain falls, sun shines, and for what?

Greatness comes in small doses
Over the rainbow it sometimes takes us
Never underground or in the dark
Not inside trees, or in hearts
And never, ever in minds

Gasping for breath, we try to live
I, we, ourselves don’t care how long
Very likely we stay submerged and can’t run
Everything has a time limit

Your mind is careless
Our bodies are vessels, just shells
Under the surface there is quiet

Underneath is a nagging desire
Power is lost and we cannot break free
