Weekly Winners 2022 - 11
It is a bit of a slow week, but I managed to pick the cards from the Interests list this week that I feel were worth discussing. And this week we also included a piece about the famous Black Lotus. No, not that one, the other one!

#2 Ancestral Knowledge $11.59 (+46%)

To be fair I do kind of like this card. For only 2 mana you get to stack the top 10 cards of your library. Sure you'll have to pay the cumulative upkeep next turn or maybe the turn after, but it will guarantee you to draw that card that you wanted. If there's nothing good in your top 10 cards, you just don't pay the upkeep cost and get to shuffle and draw a fresh card.

This seems like a fine alternative.

This year the game already has its 20 year anniversary and released the "“DMEX 18 20th Anniversary Huge Thanks" set that includes new and old cards from Duel Masters, but also cards in the classic Magic old border with crossovers. One of these cards is the well-known Black Lotus.
This card has been selling now on eBay between the $40 and $50, since it is a foil high quality print with a new art of this iconic card. Especially since the printing of
