What about 'clamp?
Technically it isn't in extended.

Point taken. Jitte is second most powerful to broken.
Cranial Plating arguably gives it a run for its money too. I think Jitte probably edges it, but not by much.

Plating is conditional. Jitte works on any creature and clamp was just absolutely stupid. Also, no sulfuric vortex or blood moon in MVE?
So when UR Delver came out to win a GP, did Christian Calcano email/call you and thank you personally, or was there just a mutual understanding?
Legitimately laughed at this...haha
No kidding. +1 internets for a hidden gem in the standard deck help.

Dont know how but I totally forgot about Jitte!! Deffo the best artifact still see'ing play in extended.
As far as plainswalkers go I'm torn between Garruk and Tezzeret ... both are strangely simular too :\
Lftl and Gifts are both potential powerhouses, but both need a certain kinda deck to function, which is why they didnt make my top picks.
As it stands I think I'm going:
1. EE
2. Jitte (maybe 3rd)
3. Trinket/Goyf (maybe 2nd)
4. Tezz
5. Gifts/Loam
Hhhhmmm ... actualy maybe there's some kinda deck there?
*Scurries off to start deck building*

In my opinion Goyf and Jitte are the most powerful cards. They both threaten to 'end' the game almost immediately, for the 'my-brain-malfunctioned-when-I-approved-this-card' mana cost of two. While other cards may be more important to their decks or be part of insane interactions, see below, no single card can rival those two.
The most powerful interaction on the other hand is Riptide+Blue flash creature with insane CiP ability and EE+ARuins. Gifts tron is a close second.
I think people might be underestimating Elspeth a bit, she can simply dominate a lot of matchups.

My view of bob>goyf is kinda biased because of my explained love for Bob. However, Bob and the other card have both enabled strategies that wouldn't work without them. I'm not saying the other card because i love creating the curiosity.
Hmm...Welder with a Sphere out? (j/k) Painter? Ravager?

Old extended and Legacy, not vintage. Painter may need a reevaluation, though, as it's gone nuts recently. Both are great guesses, though.
