Here's some context from wikipedia for non MTG fans:

"Former Pro player and Magic writer Zvi Mowshowitz has declared Black Lotus as the best artifact of all time, claiming every deck in the history of the game is better with a Black Lotus in it.[7] As such, it has since been banned from all official tournament styles save for Vintage, but even there, it is limited to 1 copy per deck, compared to the normal allowance of 4.....Black Lotus card is usually considered to be the most valuable non-promotional Magic card ever printed."

What about the Blacker Lotus? And Mox Lotus?

So the guy is selling the card for 38k and the card can't even be used in tournaments?

Seriously, I'm sorry for who really likes this game (I'm not one), but 38k for a card is inhumane and irresponsible.

Baseball cards regularly sell for well over $100k and on a few occasions for over $1 million. Even if he gets $38K for it, it isn't that much as far as trading cards go.

OT, but I find random promotional mentions of random people on Wikipedia to be pretty unfortunate.

Blacker Lotus and Mox Lotus are both part of a joke set.
