Top 10 Best Magic: The Gathering Cards
The best cards in the game. Maybe there are a lot of combos with them, or maybe they're really overpowered all by themselves. What will happen? We'll see.The Black Lotus is definitely one of the best. I'll also mention that one website was selling the Alpha variant of The Black Lotus for about $40,000, which I would estimate to be about the worth of a car.
Four mana on turn one? Yes, please. With all the other combos available, you can cast huge creatures on turn one. No wonder the card is worth thousands of dollars and is almost banned in everything.
Yep, and it's the most expensive card in Alpha. It's worth up to $10,000!
Three cards for only 1 mana is almost too good to be true.
Having an extra turn with some powerhouses can be extreme. Instead of dealing 10 damage, you can deal 20!
Put this with any tap to untap target artifact and you get unlimited turns for yourself. Easy to find, especially for blue.
An extra turn for 2 mana? Yes, please!
I know this card, and I can tell you that there's a good reason why it's banned in Commander. This card is a 15/15 that reads, "This spell can't be countered. When you cast this spell, take an extra turn after this one. Flying, protection from colored spells, annihilator 6. When Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is put into a graveyard from anywhere, its owner shuffles their graveyard into their library."
The good news is that it's powerful, but what I can compare this creature to is a boss card that can only be taken out in certain ways. The bad news is that this card can only be removed from the game, and the card that does so has to be colorless. For example, one card I know that could remove Emrakul is Karn Liberated, since he's a colorless Planeswalker.
Wow. When I first saw this card, I squealed with joy. Everything is an artifact? That is insane! You can suddenly double loyalty on planeswalkers without using abilities, Annul becomes a counter for 1 mana, and mana color doesn't even matter. How great is that? The combo possibilities are just about endless with it. This card is as overpowered as it gets.
This card is basically a Blightsteel Colossus on turn one, and from then on, the rest of the game is almost fixed.
In EDH, this is one of the kings among commanders. It's so anti-control that it becomes control.
The only thing that can kill it is an exile-board-wipe like Settle the Wreckage. Time to start tutoring!
"Protection from everything" basically means it can't die. Like the other Progenitus, it's like a god.
True that. Basically, it's like saying, "Put this in a Sliver deck and win."
This is the best card, no doubt. Discard the entire library - that means their hand becomes their library. No library, you lose. The only counter to this is Vraska the Unseen, and that needs to be fast.
Okay, four abilities. I'm in. Get rid of the opponent's good stuff. Card filtering at a three-card-plus-hand level. Bouncing. Seven-turn clock after the ultimate. Easily one of the best cards.
Mind Sculpt
The king of all token decks. This is easily one of the best EDH commanders you can run. It gets out staggeringly fast and has amazing consistency. Not to mention, it has a CMC of 1 for 2 colors. This card is on another level altogether.
Islands are the most awesome basic land unless you're up against a creature with Islandwalk.
The ability to play the best cards in Magic wouldn't be possible without a couple of Islands.
Guaranteed win, especially when paired with Darksteel Forge, which makes it indestructible. Platinum Angel is a fairly powerful 4/4 creature by itself, but it has a prohibitively expensive mana cost of 7. If you can get it on the battlefield, have enchantments ready to protect it until you bring out Darksteel Forge.
I even have that card at home, from the old 6th series.
This card is a staple in a 5-color EDH deck because it is the most consistent commander you can have. Not only that, but it also has an insanely good ability that can be used to kill things, protect itself, or do all sorts of other things. All in all, it's an excellent card.
Four mana for a 3/1? That's not why it's here. This card is by far the most effective combo engine I can imagine. As a creature, it's terrible, sure. But if you're looking to really do something with Mycosynth Lattice, you can play this guy.
