Agonizing Memories Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". And here we have "Agonizing Memories." "Agonizing memories" is a very powerful card out of the basic set. It is a sorcery, which means you can only play it during your first main phase and/or your second main phase, and it is an uncommon out of the basic set, which is now on its 10th edition. It is 2 and 2 black to play, and what this card does, is it allows you to look at your target player's hand, which is always beneficial--always beneficial to know what they have, and then, you get to choose 2 cards from it and put them on top of that player's library in any order; which means you can take the most expensive cards that he cannot play yet and place them back on top of his library, and he is going to get those cards again over the next two turns, which means in the next two turns, he's not going to get any new cards, and he know exactly which cards he's getting, which allows you to make plans to destroy him in a certain order and prevent him from getting the cards he needs. It's a very powerful card for your black domination or your blue control domination deck."
