Summary

• Strip Mine and Triskelion offer powerful gameplay options, while Mishra's Factory provides a unique seasonal card experience.
• Rarity reflects in prices, with Tawnos's Coffin and Argivian Archaeologist boasting higher values for their utility in gameplay.
• Candelabra of Tawnos and Mishra's Workshop stand out as high-value cards, offering players strong mana generation abilities for artifacts.

Back with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering was young, Wizards of the Coast produced its first of several artifact-based sets and introdu꧑ced us to the Brothers’ War, a planet and even♛tually planar conflict between Mishra and Urza. This brought powerful artifacts to Magic, and even stronger cards that let you use those artifacts for good, or for evil.

This set is more than thirty years old now, having been released on March 4 in 1994. With sets that old, you know there are going to be some valuable cards to coꦅllect. If you’re flipping through your old cards and want to know how valuable some might be, stick around and you&rsqu🧸o;ll see what Antiquities has to offer.

These prices all come from TCGplaye💖r&rsquo𝔍;s Market Value and are subject to change.

10 Strip Minꦡe (Tꦦower)

Uncommon - $34.32

Strip Mine is a pretty straightforward land, one designed to counter a specific land that ended up being a bit too powerful in Magic. This land has just one ability outside of the mana production one, you can tap and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:sacrifice it to destroy anಌy target🐠 land.

Strip Mine was initially designed to shut d💧own strategies based on the exceptionally powerful Library of Alexandria. Ea๊ch of the four designs on this card is done by Daniel Gelon, with the one version with a tower in the illustration being the most valuable among them.

9 Tawnos's Coffin

Rare - $88.00

A ratheꦗr complicated card, Tawnos’s Coffin is a perfect way to preserve a powered-up creat💛ure you control while ensuring that your Auras stay attached to it. You can pay three mana and tap Tawnos’s Coffin to exile a creature and all auras attached to it.

If Tawnos’s Coffin becomes untapped or would leave the battlefield, the exiled creature returns with everything attached to it.🌱 One of the more interesting parts of this artifact is that counters remain on the card, which is somethi🍃ng that generally falls off once a card changes zones.

8 Triskelion 🥃

Rare - $92.62

This goofy metal monstrosity is a classic Magic: The Gathering card, one that has fueled all sorts of combos and nostalgia for players. Triskelion comes in at a hefty six mana for a 1/1 creature, though it also gets a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:bonus three +𝐆1/+1 counters to go with it.

You can remove one of those counters to deal one damage to any target. With any number of ways to add +1/+1 counters to Treskelion, you can very easily keep t🦹he pain coming endlessly until your opponent is out of the game.

7 Mishra's Factory (Summer)

Rare - $79.08

Ant🅘iquities did something a little bit different with this release, several Magic cards had different illustrations on them, sometimes depicting a change in seasons, while other the🏅mes might depict a structure from different perspectives.

Mishra’s Factory depicted the same building built into a huge tree as it endures various seasons. This card is for the summer version of the card, with the thick greenꦺ of the canopy filling in almost the entirety of the card. Mishra’s Factory is also one of the first Manlands in Magic, turning into a 2/2 Assembly-Worker creature for just one mana.

6 🅷 Argivian Archaeologist

Rare - $79.99

A powerful artifact recurs🥀ion card, especially in a set filled with artifacts, Argivian Archaeologist is a great way to keep your best artifacts in play, or at least in your hand, while not requiring a huge commitment.

For two mana, you cꦿan tap the Archaeologist to bring an artifact back from the graveyard to your hand. Argivian Archaeologist was the first Archaeologist creature type to enter the game, but in subsequent updates, its creature typing became Artificer.

5 🌞 Power Arti🌄fact

Uncommon - $152.43

A fascinating encha🌳ntment, Power Artifact reduces the cost to activate the activated abilities of that artifact by two generic mana. You can’t bring the cost of something down to zero, so you’ll likely always be paying at least one mana.

Power Artifact can be used as a cheap way to swap around equipment for cheap, or even turn Basalt Monolith into a two-card infinite combo. There are ple💮nty of ways to manipul꧃ate Basalt Monolith into infinite mana, but Power Artifact is one of the easiest to pull off.

4 Mishra's Factory (Winter)

Uncommon - $199.79

A beautiful rendition of Mishra’s Factory, this winterized one has the huge tree-turned-factory covered in snow while all the leaves ha𝄹ve fallen and the only thing left in the night sky is the moon.

A cute little addition done by illustrators Kaja and Phil Foglio is all the lights adorning the houses, factories, and trees in Misrha’s Factory. There&r🐭squo;s even a huge red and green start above one of the structures, siꦫgnifying that it’s time to celebrate family and togetherness.

3 ✃ Transmute 🔜Artifact

Uncommon - $351.48

We had a Power Artifact, so now it's time for a Transmute Artifact. This blue sorcery spell lets you sacrifice an artifact to go digging through your library for an artifact card and put it into play. If the new artifact’s mana value is the same or lower, you don’t have to do anything else. If it's higher, you have to pay the difference.

Transmute Artifact can effectively trade up any artifact, even a token, for literally anything else in your deck, making it a widely sought-after card for any artifa𝐆ct deck looking to splurge a bit.

2 Candelabra Of Tawnos 🌸 ꦿ

Rare - $574.01

A dangerously powerful card, Candelabra of Tawnos is a💜n infinite mana-generating ♈machine, capable of proꦺducing an absurd a💟mount of mana as soon as it comes into play. For one measly little mana you can play the Candelabra.

So long as you have a land that ꦍproduces more than one mana at a time, you can instantly generate infinite mana, though you then need something to put it into, like a Fireball for instance. The Candelabra quickly became part of early competitive decks given its ease of comboing off.

1 Mishra's Workshop

Rare - $1,650.00

Speaking of generating bonus mana, Mishra’s Workshop is the first card in Magic that restricts how you use the mana it generates. You can t🗹ap Mishra’s Wor𝕴kshop to add three generic mana to your mana pool, though you can only use that mana on artifact spells.

This isn’t too mu꧃ch of a problem though, as there are plenty of artifact spells out there that you’d love to cast a few turns earlier. The Workshop is so good that it is banned in Legacy, and likely won’t ever see an unbannning, not that that hurts the price at all.
