    I know Black Lotus is one of the most (the most) valuable MTG card, but why is that so?

    It’s a nice card, but not all that extremely powerful or special, is it? Was it just super rare? It’s from one of the first series, I believe?

      Very old/rare, and bonkers powerful.

      The whole game is about what you do with mana (currency).
      If all we are looking at is the mana, this lets you pay for other cards on your first turn that you normally wouldn’t be able to play until the 4th turn of the game. That’s a huge advantage.
