I was originally introduced to Magic: the Gathering sometime back in the late-nineties, but I didn't actually get into it until it was re-introduced to me several years later during the summer of 2012, early into the 'Scars of Mirrodin-Innistrad' cycle... annnnd I've been playing on & off ever since..

I played Standard until Innistrad rotated out. Which led me to getting into Modern for a few years, and then eventually Legacy. However, I've gotten into EDH more recently after moving near an EDH dominated LGS..

@FormOverFunction: Note that Worldfire was printed in the set immediately before Return to Ravnica (the earliest set allowed in the newer Pioneer format), and later on, Bearer of the Heavens was printed in the second-to-last set with "Modern" frames.

These are hardly "older cards" in the context in which you speak. Or in other words: wrong era for that argument. The OP is discussing late-Modern-era cards of 9~11 years ago, not the sometimes insane cards that came out of the mid-90's; 25~30 years ago..
