Victimize and Black Market slot perfectly into that strategy

You had to find a way to buff damage high enough to kill in two to three hits (Blackblade Reforged was a huge pickup back in the day!), you had to find Protection and Haste for your Commander as it was definitely going to be removed 3 or more times in a game, and you had to do this with comparatively limited access to card draw and ramp, at least compared to today, and at least if you werent playing Rafiq or someone else with green and blue

This is pure speculation on my part

Remember when everyone was scrambling for that English release card, but you'd already been running it in your deck for three months
