Favourite Card

[Gen]

We used to have it on the old forum.... So I'm starting it up again!

What's your favourite card and why?

[Steppingfilter 101]

My favorite card is: Slippery Bogle (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=150999)

Edit: Because he's the bomb? I like him because he's a 1/1 with super shroud and it was something I wanted for awhile. And WotC decided to reward me with it recently.

Another edit: That and he's just cool looking. Little goober thing sticking it's tongue out at you! Like going neener neener neener!

I think my favorite card would have to be Deftblade Elite. I wish the provoke mechanic would come back.

Grave Pact

Fell in love with it when I first made a token deck with greater gargadon. You'll typically get a good effect for a creature sac, and taking out their creatures is such a nice bonus. Not to mention no creature is safe from it :)

scroll rack
:D

[Slevin]

Wild Mongrel (http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=29777)

He's the MVP of my madness deck, one of the first decks that I've ever made (one of the first good ones, actually). It's gone from G/B to G/R, and it's pretty nasty if you're not ready for all of the creatures I can put out that quickly.

Lightning Angel

i fell in love with this card and have been making decks around him forever, plus he's a bomb, i will beat anyone with it forever

-nevermind-

pestilence is definetly an old fav, its wont me many games

[mtglord]

:Di love using panoptic mirror because it makes for killer combos like infinte turns. unfortunatly its to slow to be used in tournaments though>:(

[Masta Moore]

My favorite is one of my older cards that I got when I first started playing. Glorious Anthem. I still use it in a mono white kithkin deck today.

[biggels93]

It's an amazing card to have a playset of in a white aggro weenie deck, (My Favorite). This card is amazing because using just one in a game will put a hearthfire hobgoblin at 5/5 double strike or a divinity and oversoul at 10/10. This card wins me many games while playing with weenies and i love it. The average outcome by the fourth turn is a light from within, hearthfire hobgoblin, sigiled paladin, and akrasin squire. I have won maybe 16 games by my fifth turn against prevention and counter decks. This card is like instant muscle for my weenies:D

Vigor.

Pretty much makes your creatures indestructable, and makes any damage to them strengthen them.

Vigor + Living Inferno = mass death.

[IndridKold]

My favorite card would have to be Spirit of the Night. When I first learned how to play Magic, my first deck was a black reanimator and back then you couldnt beat a 6/5 Flying, Trampling, Haste, Prot. Black. Only real drawback was its First Strike only when attacking ;/ I used to love throwing out Breathstealer, Feral Shadow, and Urborg Panther, only to sac them and throw SotN out in play an watch my brother's eyes bleed! ;x

[Gen]

Serra's Angel is still my favourite... She's so pretty and just generally cool! It was one of the first cards I ever played with and I have a big big soft spot for it!

[randomryan]

My favorite is Grinning Ignus. Sure he's underated, a common even. But in the right deck, he is a huge pain in the ass. When he gets reprinted (because of the Future Sight timeshifted thing) I will be sure to build another deck around him.

[Dr.KnowMaD]

This is a tough one because of so many fun and enticing cards to play with.

I do have a particular one in mind that is an effect that I have always been a fan of and have never not enjoyed seeing this card in hand. Time Walk. So nice for one blue and one colorless. At its least it is take a clean up phase, untap phase, upkeep, draw. If you have something good to go with it, it's deadly.

In close comparison, I have a fondness of Mindslaver The ability this card gives is too amazing. Activation alone without a Goblin Welder or Academy Ruins is great and a lot of times good game.

like I had said before, I like so many cards that are close contenders for a fav.

[Formula1]

True believer
Story of my life, I love that guy....

I constantly want to base a deck around him...

[Pillar]

Knight of Meadowgrain. Best bang for the buck ever. 2/2 first strike with lifelink? It gets really out of hand with planeswalkers and glorious anthems.

[drquiz]

kitchen finks
lifegain and persist
whats not to like

[bossman001412]

magus of the future

playing with the top card of your library revealed and being aloud to play it. what I did was try to get a couner spell on top so that the opponent will think harder if he really wants to play anything.

[Jovensferrets]

Simulacrum

best black card ever...

[Falkart]

Mine has to be:
Kresh the Bloodbraided (http://magiccards.info/autocard.php?card=Kresh%20the%20Bloodbraided|)
Because gaining the power of my enemy and then turning it against him makes me smile.

[khanuni]

Its really the card in my deck, I run it 4 time's and really strong in my red/white deck, also gotta love figure of destiny, my second favorite :P

[jonnybbush]

There are so many card I have love. I think my favorite card would have to be Deftblade Elite. I wish the provoke mechanic would come back.

[Seras]

Vines of Vastwood, all-purpose creature saver and combat trick...I never regret having one in my hand.

honourable mentions for Venser, Teferi and Momir Vig

[bioeye]

scuttlemutt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!scuttlemutt (http://http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=142067)
cause he's scuttlemutt
gray ogre+ birds of paridise+ cool combat tricks for pro. whatever, what's not to like.
and it's just cool art and a fun name to say.

[rustyrodriks]

This is a fantastic card to have a play set in a white sausage aggro decks my favorite. This card is great because the use of a single game on a goblin will hearthfire of 5 / 5 double or divinity and soul at 10:10. This card gave me win many games that you play with sausage and I love it.

[Danokozmo]

Too many cards to think about!

i think i'll go w/ favorite card from each color:

Green: Thorn Elemental

Red: Kird Ape

Black: Hypnotic Specter

Blue: Lord of Atlantis

White: Serra Angel

[Lucas_919]

I gotta say my favourite card of all time isn't that good, it's just funny. I've always liked Opportunist, I just like the way he kicks his enemies while they're down.

[NightLoki]

Easily Thraximundar. He's a Legendary Zombie Assassin with a powerful ability, haste, and some stuff to build around. And he gets bigger, and he's a great general in my 3 favourite colours.

[Seth]

If I do have to choose I'd say Momentary Blink.

[scumbling1]

I have a hard time deciding on just one card, but if I absolutely must choose one, I'd say Gifts Ungiven. There are several reasons: It's instant-speed; instant = more options = more fun. It's a tutor; tutoring is an aspect of the game I really like, as it creates more chances to see the cards you want. I think tutoring rewards skill, rather than luck. It's also not a straight-forward card; Gifts forces you to build creatively around it, and make decisions around the current game-state and contents of your deck. This also rewards skillful play. Finally, I really like the artwork! Those cool blue tones are appealing to me.

[KuroRyuuD]

Mine`d be Phage the Untouchable, ever since Legions came out i`ve been dying to get the card, now i finally have her! ><
She makes quite a mess of things when in play. And oh i love it when people use Lilianas last ability to put creatures into play when she`s in my graveyard.

[bioeye]

phage make the best general in edh:confused:

[scumbling1]

phage make the best general in edh:confused:

Haakon, Stromgald Scourge is better! :D

[KuroRyuuD]

Lol, i`d go as far as to say Phage is the worst general. As soon as you play her you lose, because you don`t play it from your hand, but from outside of the game.

[scumbling1]

All joking aside, I really think that Phage is the better general. With a Platinum Angel, you could conceivably cast her. Of course, that's a fairly narrow cicrumstance; it's enough to simply state both are "skill-testers". ;)

[Lexusthegreat]

Krosan Warchief - He's the base of my beast deck and I love playing beasts...and what better than a regen, cost 1 less beast :D
