I remember when Cursed Scroll was the hotness. The ability for any aggro deck (stompy, sligh, suicide black) to have reuseable colorless direct damage was huge. They had to ban it in Tempest block. I also remember when Bazaar was around $20. Also, LED was considered utter jank until it was quasi-broken in the Hernandez type 1 deck as Black Lotus 2-4. That deck played lots of artifact mana, Hurkyl's Recall, Timetwister, and finished with Braingeyser or Fireball. Ah, the good old days.
well, Bazaar of Baghdad lets you draw good cards and lets you get rid of your useless cards in your hand (unless you have bad luck).
Cursed scroll, on the other hand, i can't see anything useful about it except maybe if you have one card in your hand or if you have two or more copies of the same card in your hand. and maybe if you have a lot of mana but nothing to use it with...

lulz.
did you read any of the posts explaining why cursed scroll was good? REPEATABLE COLOURLESS DIRECT DAMAGE.
it's not like there weren't specific examples of why cursed scroll was good back then. as a note, magus of the scroll saw some t2 play. DO YOU GET IT NOW? can you understand why an artifact is infinitely better then a red 1/1 creature version of it?
so no one agreees with me that uba mask with bazzar is the nutzzzz? Thats unfortunate
I don't see the synergy (or the nuttiness) there. You only get to play the drawn cards the turn that you've drawn them and YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY THEIR MANACOSTS because Uba Mask doesn't let you play them for free. You also have to discard 3 cards from your hand which more or less will leave you with no cards in hand.
If you thought that Uba Mask lets you play the RFGed cards for free, RTFC :D.

Uba Mask and Bazaar don't have direct synergy, but Bazaar had amazing synergy with old ubastax lists that ran goblin welder. Bazaar also allowed early uba mask locks by dumping mask into the graveyard early.
Another one of the key reasons why Bazaar is so good is that it is uncounterable. While it may not read "draw 5 cards" per se, having an uncounterable, free way of putting cards like 7/10, possessed portal, dragon, smokestack, will fodder etc into the grave early is still an incredibly powerful effect. For a deck like Dragon or Cerebral Assassin, putting a dragon or 7/10 in the grave is far more important than accumulating card advantage. The same applies for dredge-based decks, in which Bazaar dumps dredgers and triggers dredge.
There are no two ways about it -- Bazaar is amazing.

Really? If you had read what he explained then you would see that in type 1, the graveyard is almost as accessible as cards in hand through stuff like blah blah blah
You gotta cool your jets bud. As someone explained earlier, without dredge(which i was not aware was used) the LED only gets you two new cards. And when did he explain about dredge?

Until I decided to just proxy the deck one day and take it for a spin. I figured it out soon after
