#18: Recurring Nightmare Weve already touched on a few Recurring Nightmare decks this month, but the biggest win for the card has got to be Brian Seldens 1998 World Championship list: Creatures (24) 1 Spike Weaver 1 Verdant Force 1 Tradewind Rider 4 Wall of Blossoms 4 Birds of Paradise 1 Man-o'-War 2 Nekrataal 2 Uktabi Orangutan 2 Spike Feeder 2 Wall of Roots 1 Spirit of the Night 1 Orcish Settlers 1 Cloudchaser Eagle 1 Thrull Surgeon Lands (22) Spells (14) Sideboard While Recurring Nightmare is most often thought of as part of Survival of the Fittest strategies, it has also enjoyed a fair bit of success in B/G Rock decks, just using it for value and in combo decks seeking to loop it, with any number of creatures that effectively net you mana each time
The big exception was a $5,000 Neutronium pack opened near the end of the stream, which resulted in a $7,000 Rayquaza card
These are reprints of some popular legendary creatures from across Magics history
Equipment cards carry a variety of modifications
The auto-updating cover sheet is super cool
