Been so excited for this one!

This is a wonderful concept actualized in the beautiful fashion that only this channel can. My most valuable card is the very first card that showed me that a small creature could still be mighty: Deadly Recluse. Cheers!

Video was phenomenal. First eight or so minutes brought me to tears. Maybe it’s because I could relate so much to how you viewed the LOA? Every vintage card I buy tells me a story. I think of its time in other peoples possession. Oh what stories the cards would tell if they could speak! I know many people dislike collectors, hoarding game pieces in their collections. But truly, I love going through my binders and pondering those thoughts.

Loved the way you ended this video. The start of a new story that is uniquely yours. I still don't think I have the courage to de-sleeve a deck though, it's a scary feeling 😅

I loved this video! It had me torn (pun intended) on the Gonti deck. Unsleeved destruction of those cards via game play… letting nature and entropy take their course vs the preservation of awesome history and pieces of the game… that could be shared and played by future generations… just like how those cards found their current home. It’s punk rock/heavy metal vs Beethoven.

as scary as it was for myself, it was just as liberating. Now I can't wait to jam Ruric Thar again.

Every video leaves me with a deeper appreciation of magic. I love the feel of an unsleeved well loved card. For several years I've picked up the most used versions of cards I could. I couldn't have articulated my feelings around them but you've captured it beautifully. I've seen the Gonti deck around the web before and it is a labor of love that shows. Thank you for the awesome content.

Absolutely sublime as always, Sam. Your videos bring me immense joy and a much needed reprise from my day-to-day.

Cards are ment to be played, it’s easy to forget. Thanks for reminding us ❤️
