![]() ![]() Still, Sol Ring swiftly joined the Moxen on Vintage’s Making an appearance in Revised Edition while the Moxen were out after Unlimited Edition. ![]() Only reason we talk about the Power Nine and not the Power Ten is that Sol Ring wasn’t rare.” This uncommon lasted one set longer than the Moxen, Moxen? Zvi thought so, ranking it the number-two artifact of all time. One colorless mana to get two colorless mana immediately and every turn thereafter—does that make Sol Ring a better card than any of the original Mox Pearl the least—all are restricted Vintage staples and too dangerous to be let loose anywhere else. While the five see varying levels of play in today’s Vintage—Mox Sapphire the most, Black Lotus is first, and these are the other five,Ĭosting nothing and tapping for one mana of the designated color. Mox Emerald, Mox Jet, Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby,Īnd Mox Sapphire (Alpha) - As noted previously, six of the “Power Nine” cards are fast mana.
