Too small.
Flickerwisp. It seems kinda okay, but combined with an Aether Vial it's actually Jesus in disguise. With wings.
This.
Ęther Vial, didn't think it would be useful and gave away 22 of them.
You sir, buy way too many boxes.
4th: 293/363

Always looking for sealed product!
Top looked mediocre to me the first time. Too slow and mana intensive, i said.
Goyf, lol, well everyone was debating wether it was better or not than Werebear. It's sad to think at that now.
All planeswalker looked to me too slow and too vulnerable to big creatures to be playable in legacy. Guess i was pretty wrong. Even Sorin is playable.
Aether Vial. I thought it was just a slow Quicksilver Amulet. I didn't really have a good grasp on how tempo works at the time.
For my confessions, they burned me with fire/
And found I was for endurance made
High Tide. I loved Dark Ritual but that's because it let you explode stuff on turn 1, but didn't see a point to a blue version that was only worth it late game, and terrible in multicolored decks without dual lands.
I underestimated Planeswalkers in general. You can only use one ability a turn, at sorcery speed, creatures and burn can take them out, and they dont even attack on their own? Wow these are pretty meh, great casual cards.
Boy was I wrong.
Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
I“am totally with all the guys underrating fetchlands. When i started playing, i thought "wow, why are those crappy lands so expensive". Time taught me this and much much more...
I would have to say Lions eye diamond and Phyrexian dreadnought.
Well, this was back in the day when they were first released. LED was unplayable because no one wants to lose their hand. This goes the same with the 12/12 artifact because no one could sacrifice that many creatures. Then came belcher, dredge, stifle etc. and the rest was history.
Goyf obviously. I know a guy who bought a foil one for $3 when it was released and was a dollar bin card. Oh how I wish I had scooped up a lot of them...I know a guy who kind of knew a guy who thought goyf was the nuts when it came out and stockpiled at least 40 of them before they sky rocketed. Must be nice to make $1600 off of $100 tops.
LED was very underrated; at the time, you could actually use it to cast a spell in your hand by announcing the spell then cracking it, discarding the rest of your hand so you didn't have to abuse it with tutors. Or so I heard.
Dreadnought was very underrated.
Stifle probably was too despite being in the same fucking block as the original fetchlands and people probably not catching onto the instant speed sinkhole for U that stifle is against fetchlands.
I think I may have opened an onslaught fetch when I was a casual scrub and thinking "Wow this card sucks its a land you have to pay life to use" <-- thought the same thing about the pain lands and if I had been playing during ravnica probably would have thought the same way about the shocks.
Empty the Warrens. I underrated it; in the few timespiral x3 drafts I did, whenever I saw that card I thought "What a piece of crap, why did they print this." Thought the same way about the storm mechanic; I thought "This takes too much mana and cards to be any good" because so much storm spells cost 3 or more mana.
Jace, TMS. I thought he would just drop from the 50 bucks he started out at. Like wow, now he's 70+ and once shards rotates will be worth over 100 because every deck in standard will play him as a 4 of along with some legacy decks playing the card and probably a lot of extended decks playing the card. He's just bonkers. I think he's a bit overrated in legacy right now though because he was played as a 3 of in the 2nd place deck by Tom Martell at Columbus.
Vengevine. I traded mine that I opened at the prerelease for 25 dollars in cards. Great job, now its worth $35+.
Blood seeker. The lose one life whenever a creature comes into play under control....completely wrecks bitterblossom. I once had to force of will one at a local tourney against a guy playing tribal vampires. Saddest. force of will. ever.

Off topic, but is the art on Flickerwisp the creepiest thing ever, or what? It's just a mouth with 14 legs and wings? D:!
Lion's Eye Diamond was pretty worthless when it came out. Somewhere along the line when 6th edition came out and they decided to make the whole stack thing, it broke it. Mox Diamond, Lotus Vale, and LED were all busted in half. You could play a Lotus Vale and get all the mana off it before it died. Same with Mox Diamond and LED. The thing with them was this whole idiotic order of casting a spell. You announced the spell in which it went on the stack right there, paid the cost, then it resolved. So LED became a one shot Black Lotus for a bit and Mox Diamonds were Lotus Petals.
Here's a funny story about some cards I underrated.
Once upon a time I thought Candelabra of Tawnos was the absolute most amazing card ever. When Teferi's Isle came out I made this deck that used the Isle to make two U, then untap it with the Candlelabra, then tap it again, getting 2 more, untap it again, etc... I went through an entire tournament with this amazing way of getting a 2 card combo infinite mana to Braingeyser people out. Then the guy in the finals explained what Mono Artifacts were. I was sad. To add insult to injury, he also explained that Candelabras are restricted to one per deck. Sad face again. <yes, it was restricted back then>
I can't believe I went that long without knowing that. I had played since Fallen Empires. It never came up. Hell, it was weird enough I got that far in the tournament without anyone knowing how that worked. I didn't own any other cards that had that on it. So of course I stuffed those Candelabras away since they were totally worthless obviously. Stuck them right next to those other useless lands from that same deck, Mishra's Workshops. Can't use them with the Candelabra, what's the point? I mean really, no infinite mana? Those blow.
LED was far from underrated when it came out. It was the money rare from the set. I always thought it was crap, and for a long time it was.
big links in sigs are obnoxious -PR
Don't disrespect my dojo dude...
Sweep the leg!
man,whenever i see flickerwisp, i think of David Lynch. Fear.
Armageddon. Seriously. I was a complete 12 year old newb back then.
I am like "so how can I cast my spells afterwards???".
A friend of mine flashed an Ernhamgeddon deck, I still don't get it. Probably 20+++ games later...
I became a believer. I am in love with the card since then.
It's kinda embarrassing, but Standstill.
Because I thought I could stifle it...
