New poll: Favorite card - one pick for its utility, one for its art/flavor.

I think i go with Lightning Bolt and Tamiyo, Moon Sage. Or Vexing Devil. So crisp.

Utility: master of etherium, the first card I ever built a decent kitchen table deck with.

Flavor: Uktabi Orangutangs. Self-evident.

Still not king, damnit.
I've only been playing for a few years so my scope is limited.

I love Mastery of the Unseen for utility. This will probably earn me enemies.

My flavor pick is Rescue from the Underworld. It tells the entire story in the card name and the mechanic. It doesn't even need to reference specifics and it self-contained. For something that's part of the larger story and connected to Official Magic Story Fiction™, I like the Kytheon, Hero of Akros. It tells his specific story in the mechanics and the art makes him look like a little poo poo who might get all his friends killed and survive like that.

I don't know how they could look at Allies, Spell Lands, Landfall, Giant Monsters, Leveling Up and take away that the core focus should be "counts as colorless" and armies of 2/3s bouncing off each other forever.

<> changes are confusing to hell to new/casual players and add nothing to the game in terms of deckbuilding or decision-making
devoid is confusing as hell to new/casual players and adds complication to the game with no ramifications on decision-making
4 playable draft archetypes that all want the same cards and do similar things
Sealed comes down to who opened Gideon/The Biggest Eldrazis

The problem was casting a 10/8 for 8.

Behold the Bull of Heaven!
Utility: Lightning Bolt. I just love casting this card every single time.

Flavour: Hard to chose, but I'd go with Anarchy, not because of the card itself, but because it has one of my all-time favourite flavour texts.
