Really? So ten mechanics all sucked?

I suppose, sure.

Look at the cards in the actual set. Do you see any story there? No. That block was an example of wizard's "lets not really have any story outside of the books" design.

> And I really don't think you can call Kamigawa's cards weak.

I think you're just straight-up wrong here. Most Kamigawa cards were poorly designed or too weak.

> All of the dragons featured in the set were amazingly powerful, the jitte continues to be a very good card as well.

The green and red dragons were not that good. Jitte was a design mistake.

> The Soulshift mechanic was very innovative and different than anything that had come before it.

Regrowing cards was not really all that innovative. It was just another tribal mechanic that didn't work at all with any other cards except for the T2 Ghost Dad deck. Splice and flip were a lot more innovative.

Anything after kamigawa block doesnt really interested me. A lot between Nemesis and Mirrodin aswell.

I am pro homelands, lots of cool flavour and fun underpowered cards. Since I dont play t2 or draft homelands doesnt seem much different to me than a lot of the newer sets. A small handful if that of cards I might use in my decks and the rest is what it is.

For me, everything after Future Sight was complete crap...

I don't really have a worst set ever, I found fun in every set I played with.

Drafting Fallen Empires and Homelands was good because the packs were dirt cheap at the time.

Honestly, If I had to choose I'd say M12.

Limited just plain sucked for that set.

You mean dropping a turn 5 inferno titan and wrathing your opponent, then winning the next turn is not the pinnacle of strategy?
