Blightning, because I built a poor man's Jund deck to play against my coworker back when we got into Magic again, just using cards from packs we bought at the Target near our office, and nothing made him rage harder than Blightning. Also I loved Terminate from Alara block, partly for the rules text and partly cuz that guy was freaking exploding.

And we can't use the naming scheme of the following year (like naming this one Magic 2015 edition) because there needs to be more than one thread per year. Anthologies, Collectors' Edition, Masters Edition.

Dungeon Ecology posted:lol j/k it's Razor Boomerang Rod of Ruin post cards that you like ironically Seriously though, at this rate it's going to be in more core sets than Giant Growth and Giant Spider. Rod of Ruin should have been the real core set survivor, with a new art each time.  At the very least it probably has the highest ratio of sets it's in to sets that people want it to be in.

Liquimetal Coating. Started playing with an actual playgroup when SoM came out and when I figured out all the silly combos this enabled I fell in love. Easily my favorite innocuous card to drop on the table. Turn 2 Coating, Turn 3 Manic Vandal their land or two drop was my favorite thing to do in the game.

Favorite cards: Bitterblossom because the idea of my body slowly decaying and turning into faeries is awesome. Also amazing art, it's my desktop wallpaper at the moment. and Cold Eyed Selkie because it sounds like an insult. "drat girl, you acting like a cold eyed selkie."

On a related note, I love hearing about the different names that people/playgroups have adopted for different cards. Young Peezy et al. I think Stinkweed Pimp is one of my favs. Anyone have any of those to share?

Thanks for the new thread and comprehensive OP. I feel like it's worth adjusting the section about alternative ways to play online to include Cockatrice, though; it's the main thing people use and there's actually a big goon sealed tournament going on right now

Comedy Option: Fodder Cannon or Patrol Hound for the flavor text, Sensation Gorger for the art. edit: Also, I have to mention the Uktabi Orangutan for the unintentional sex monkeys...And Uktabi Kong for intentional ones. In all seriousness though, anything with Mark Tedin's art on it. Love that style. Guay too. I also have a nostalgic soft spot for Lord of the Pit, since it was the first card I ever owned. One of my dad's army buddies was getting deployed and gave me a bunch of random cards because he thought I'd enjoy them and it was the first card in the stack. Never saw the dude again, but I wish he knew I was still playing like 15 years later because of him. Bikini Quilt fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Sundial of the Infinite lets you get up to so much wacky poo poo: turn Final Fortune into Time Walk, turn Flickerwisp and Glimmerpoint Stag into "Exile target permanent", keep unearthed/whipped creatures around forever.

Didn't see anything Android related in the OP, can I suggest the MTG Familiar app? Also, Autocard Anywhere is a pretty useful browser extension, especially for this thread. My favorite card is obviously Alpha Brawl, mostly because I can't think of a situation where I'd ever get to cast it.

Gifts Ungiven is my favorite card and probably about 50% of the reason I play Modern. I'm just a few versions away from a global set, no idea where I'm gonna find a Chinese foil though.

Momir Vig was my first good EDH deck. Unfortunately, every game, either Momir died or I locked down the game (or both, because of all the efficient ETB creatures I ran). Still have a fondness for that deck.

I did not mean I love Sands of Delirium. I meant Sands of Time, which was part of the most impossibly stupid lockdown combo of all-time. Sands of Time/Teferi's Realm was the greatest combo and I am unsure of why it is not remembered like Stasis/Winter Orb. Sadly the combo no longer works because the way artifacts with persistent effects work has changed.

Morphling. it was definitely the card that got me thinking about the game more deeply than "turn fatties sideways". It didn't make the biggest splash in standard because of all of the dumb Urza block combos, but it was a huge staple in extended for most of the time I spent seriously playing Magic and really shaped how I view the game to this day.Big Ol Marsh Pussy posted:RIP damage on the stack

I like to think of him as Droopy Dog, where you lock him in a safe with dynamite then drop it into a volcano. You turn around and he's standing right there.

I think my first ever pet card was Ardent Recruit. It's changed from time to time since then, but ever since I actually tried to make Ardent Recruit work, I just can't get worked up about individual cards anymore. That FNM was an expensive lesson, that sometimes there is a reason people aren't using a card.

uggy posted:I do actually wonder what everybody's fav/pet card is. It has to be Radiate. Any time I get to cast it in a multiplayer game, it always leads to a fun time, whether I'm Radiating a lethal Banefire or a Beast Within, or even a kicked Rite of Replication if I just want to win. If I hit a Chaos Warp or there's an Eye of the Storm on the table, then things get REALLY interesting. I put a copy in pretty much every EDH and multiplayer deck I make that has red, unless it REALLY can't fit in, like in my Ashling EDH deck.
