Mox Jet (Unlimited) - Near Mint

5 stars for moxes - its pretty obvious why this is too different from a swamp , as card sickness we can only drop one land each turn ... and having a mox in your hand will definitely break that rule... stupid people saying this is not good cause they are not good either...

this is my first piece of power and i was beyond excited to pick it up. the people who didn't give this card AT LEAST 4 stars (only because you can't play 4 and for good reason) must only play standard and have never died before they can get a turn. whoever thinks this is just a swamp or worse and doesn't want fast mana is a newb. arguing with you is not worth the time. look at a vintage tournament deck list and see how many of them are playing moxen... all of them except if their deck is meant to hate on the moxen and other artifacts. get your heads out of your standard butts

Like all MOXES-5 stars. First turn hymn to tourach? Nasty. Not to mention the many many many 1st turn kill combos that start with one black mana. Anyone that says this is no different from a swamp is 12 years old or less.

...5 stars are not enough to rate this card... this card is a card advantage in a right deck ... specially in a 1st turn kill deck... imagine 0 cost card that produce a mana? now try to think why this card is better than a swamp..

@Mark - You must have gotten Lotus Petal and Mox Jet confused with one another. Mox Jet doesn't get sacrificed after being tapped for mana.

@Mox Jet - Second best mox due to the fact that the color black gives you such awesomeness as Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, Imperial Seal, Hymn to Tourach, Mind Twist and other goodies.

Wait hold on! Are you sure you play magic? I don't see anything on a mox that makes it resemble a Black Lotus. Black Lotus dies after one use. Moxes DON'T! You want to get rid of it after one use, you just shatter it then. Moxes are permanents and don't die after one use. You might need to read the text again.

And for the last time, Moxes are better than swamps because you can play only 1 swamp per turn unless otherwise with a spell. If you get a very very very very lucky hand with no real spells to do a first turn win, think of this: Turn 1, swamp, 4 Mox Jets. You've got 5 mana to work with first turn. Hmmm, can you get 4 swamps out the first turn? not really.

Nothing beats a First turn: Swamp, Mox Jet, Dark Ritual, Duress, Thoughtseize, Hymn to Tourach. followed up by a next turn Nantuko Shade....ahhh.....sweet bliss

Well, forget about theoretically playing four. That's missing the point. You can only one mox jet in your deck unless you are playing against a nimrod in a friendly match. And I've seen first turn wins with decks using cards that are all weatherlight (or whichever set has serra avatar) or newer; they aren't all that unlikely in a deck that is constructed for them.

For those who are confused, what makes the moxes better than basic lands is that they are artifacts and thus have no limit to how many you can play per turn. With the moxes it is theoretically possible for you to have seven mana on your first turn, as opposed to what you could only achieve with basic lands which is one. Using fast mana acceleration with cards such as Black Lotus and the Moxes in combination with other powerful cards, it is possible to win as early as turn one.

BBBBRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG IIINNN THE HATE......-HATRED

Food for my Gorilla Shaman!!!......Rawr!

On the surface it looks like a swamp, but let me ask you: how many swamp can you play and how many mox jet can you play a turn??

A swamp you say? My dear friend its more than that, it a mox! Meaning faster mana production! Lastly, meaning you dont know anything about magic. Period.

I guess a turn 1 kill is better...
And guys.. don't even say this is anything LIKE a swamp.. you're just lowering yourselves, any serious magic player understands the power of this card and the other moxes...

.......hmmmm....swamp,mox jet,dark ritual,dark ritual......6 black mana on your first turn......yummy death!!

Anyone who says this is just a swamp should be burried alive in a swamp.

Nothing is better then haveing a first turn black knight am I right?

No, its not the same as a swamp... it is way, way worse. You use these one time and then its dead and you have no more mana. Swamps stay on the board so you can use them over and over. That's why the moxes suck.

this mox sucks

Wow. A card with no mana cost that can be tapped for one black mana... Um, HELLO?! This is exactly the same thing as a Swamp.

will someone PLEASE explain WHY this is any better than a swamp
