I always thought that Sleeper Agent and Zedruu, the Greathearted were great design, but that's because I love any card that plays around with the nuances between owning something and controlling something.
"Waaah there's a few cards I don't like in the latest set! This game sucks now! Everything should just always stay the same because I'm threatened by change! I'm going to quit! I'm quitting! SOMEONE PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEE" - approximately 10% of MtG players on all forums, ever.

Batterskull



Wow I cannot believe people think Batterskull is a good design, I think it is one of the worst and most clunky designs on a recent card. Eugh.

You can't make a banner without Damnation in it. Prettiest Magic card ever, and it's not even close.



Well, if pretty is the only qualifier Pillarfield Ox and Staggershock are defs in.




Well, fair enough. But Damnation is the prettiest!




No it's not.

I don't really want to argue more about Batterskull specifically, but how can a card that by your admission plays well be a "complete trash design"? Aesthetics are important, but surely gameplay value should be the most important element of design in a game that is meant to be, you know, played.

Hands down, best card ever designed is Form of the Dragon .  

Its filled with flavour, it does something unique and interesting, it is perfectly executed.  The Sarkhan art is amazing.

How did we get to page 6 without mentioning this card :-(

Because you have the number of posts per page set to an unreasonably low number?


I don't think I could list my 'best designed cards' there's just too many.

I've always found the term "punisher card" kind of ironic. If I wanted to punish my opponent I wouldn't give them choices.



Their punishment must be more severe.

Funny story:
InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. 
I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:

Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?"
Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." 
Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb."
Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."

I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.

Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious.


My DM on Battleminds:

no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.

Hi guys!  So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic.  I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked.  Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon.  Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in.  Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play.  I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's.  However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks.  I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real.  I want to begin playing it as a regular.  My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck?  Or are there special rules?  Are some cards forbidden or restricted?  Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 


I have the same problem with women.

That's what RPJesus tends to do. That's why I don't think he's a real person, but some Magic Card Archive Server sort of machine, that is programmed to react to other posters' comments with obscure cards that do in fact exist, but somehow missed by even the most experienced Magic players.

And then come up with strange combos with said cards. All of that is impossible for a normal human to do given the amount of time he does it and how often he does it.

He/It got me with Light of Sanction , which prompted me to go to RQ&A to try and find if it was even possible to do combat damage to a creature I control (in light that Mark of Asylum exists).

Initially yes, Wizards was married to blue. However, about a decade ago they had a nasty divorce, and a few years after that they began courting the attention of Green. Then in Worldwake they had a nasty affair with their ex, but as of Innistrad , things seem to have gotten back on track, and Wizards has even proposed .

Should've been more clear: only the spike part of me likes playing with it. It's just really strong and easy to throw in a deck. I like it a lot less when it's other the other side of the table.

I think it appeals ONLY to spike sensibilities and falls flat in every other aspect.
