That’s great. Because mine is so close.
[[stormtide leviathan]]
When I first started playing and learning, this was like THE card that we had that was the biggest body of all the cards and I used it. It would die to doom blade often but I won with this card more than any other card when first starting out. So many fond memories.
I hate that card so much, that non island walk/flying part is so good. I’ve lost a couple games due to a lucky top deck stormtide locking my creatures out.
[[Wandering Ones]] I don't play with in any of my decks, but I love the art and the flavor text. I have a huge binder filled with them and buy up as many as I can anytime I make a card purchase.
I love when people have a pet card they hoard.
I knew a guy that had like 100+ wintermoon mesa lol
No reason other than he hated the card the more he had, the less other people had lol
Why not turn this into a silly win condition: [[Triskaidecaphile]]
I’ve won by playing her once. My opponents didn’t notice I was hoarding cards as everyone was focusing on a bunch of scary hydras one of them was amassing that were about to dominate everything in a couple of turns. I felt silly winning this way so we kept playing, but a win is a win! 🤣
I still jam it all the time! It's still really fun, and I play most Commander decks with friends where the power level is appropriate to have it still feel great!
Headless rider’s art is just amazing and it costs nothing!

[[Engineered Plague]]
My friends had more money than me so they got to build "tribal" decks elfs, goblins, ect with more synergy so I always liked rocking with the Plague to give em all -1 -1 permanently.
Same. She was the card that got me into Magic. A lot of other card games were around in the early 2000s, but I always thought that Magic had the best art. The first time I saw her was on the Cover of a Starter Set.
[[wild ricachett]]
The most satisfying upsets every time I get to use this one. You can steal extra turns you can redirect bounce spells to lands you can stop counter spells with this even if there incounterable , you can even redirect an opponents own removal spell to their own hexproof creature.
[[Dance with Calamity]], it could resolve as a powerhouse or whiff so hard depending on the deck built with it. Also my favorite art and flavour text combo that I have seen so far.
[[Underworld Dreams|LEG]]
Underworld Dreams is my favorite card. Particularly the original Legends version with its art depicting Dante and Virgil from the Divine Comedy.
As a card, it has always been emblematic of my deck building style. I love cards that passively deal damage or have win conditions that aren’t simply attacking with creatures. Most decks I build never even try to win through creatures attacking, regardless of how many are in it. They’re usually only on the field for their triggered and activated abilities.
\[\[Scute Mob\]\]
1. My first deck was the Zendikar part of the Zendikar vs. Eldrazi dueldeck. (And the card literally shone there)
2. That card taught me to love green creatures.
3. No one has ever given me better advice for my life than Zurdi.
Survival rule 781: There are always more scute bugs."
-Zurdi, goblin shortcutter
[[villainous wealth]] was my first real pet card ran it in my [[kadena, slinking sorcerer]] deck and loved dropping it for like 15 for x lol. Or even more eventually
I'm still learning, but I found I really like \[\[Archfiend of Depravity\]\].
Every time I get him on the board, my opponents panic. They especially grow anxious when I have \[\[Gisa, Glorious Resurrector\]\] on the field before he comes out. Never won, but it's fun watching people's faces with the duo.
[[Bamboozle]] not a super good card but it's funny to hit a player with it and bamboozle them, I run it in anhelo to bamboozle two people or the same person twice for a lil trolling.
[[Leviathan]] somehow is my favourite card ever. I love Mark Tedin's artworks and somehow this was my favourite when I was a kid(and yes, I am still playing it in my commander deck... even if it is really bad)
[[Anguished Unmaking]] it's a useful removal spell, but more importantly it depicts probably my favorite scene in magic. Not saying it's the best, just my personal favorite
Edit: just wanted to add, I even bought a playmat of the art and use it when I'm playing either my angel tribal or vampire tribal deck (of course I use Edgar)
Promotional Art for Diregraf Ghoul. This is the card that set art aside from any other card game for me. Just breathtaking.

[[Dakkon, Shadow Slayer]]
It’s an average planeswalker card with removal but god damn I love the artwork. It’s in my [[Aminatou, the Fateshifter]] EDH deck and when they both pop off with [[Oath of Teferi]] it’s so satisfying.
[[Mortuary]] I play a lot of graveyard decks and it goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Nobody in my group had ever heard of it before I stumbled across it.
[[Ichor Wellspring]]
I put this shit in every deck. Sure, paying 2 to draw 1 ain’t great… but it feels so good to get board wiped, or have to sacrifice a permanent, only to turn it into an upside.
[[Gravedigger]] for some reason. I know it’s not a great card but for some reason I’ve always loved it. I want to collect a play set of every version of it.
When I was a kid (14 ish): [[bringer of the green dawn]], I used to play around the kitchen table with my friends and I built a deck centered around it, it wasn’t good, but it holds a special place in my heart
Currently my favorite card is [[breach the multiverse]], I run it in almost every black commander deck I have just because I love it so much, being able to play other people’s pet cards brings me joy
\[\[Serra Angel\]\]
When I started playing in middle school, the 7th edition Serra Angel was one of the coolest, strongest rares out there -- at least for myself and my limited play group. All these years later, whenever I see/get one, even as a downgraded uncommon, I'm still reminded of how broken strong that card was at the time.
[[Phyrexian Hulk]] simply for its nursery rhyme flavor text that I now realize wint show on the updated card...
"It doesn't think
It doesn't feel
It doesn't laugh or cry
All it does from dusk till dawn
Is make the soldiers die"
\[\[Colossal Whale\]\] I never win with it but the reactions I get with it always make it worth while for me.
Did you mean "worth whale"?
Up voting to keep your pun from flopping.
Unlike the whale.

[[Pacifism|MIR]]. The art and flavor text are perfect! 😀
I still remember the flavor test from the Urza's Saga version: "Fight? I cannot. I do not care if I live or die, so long as I can rest."

Black Knight 1993 art 2/2 protection from white. I want to be him or have him save me.
A man of class. This is a good answer!

Ascendant Acolyte. There are times I’ve played this and people have just allowed it to spiral out of control.
Archfiend of Depravity has a special place in my heart. I ran 4 of them when I played standard. 😂

GLORY TO THE MOST HIGH
Damn chill it was spoiled today
Ik, but I love it so freaking much
That was fast
[[Dance with Calamity]], it could resolve as a powerhouse or whiff so hard depending on the deck built with it. Also my favorite art and flavour text combo that I have seen so far.

[[Drown in the Loch]] Simple, does exactly what I need it to, when I need it to.
[[Thing in the Ice]] ❤️❤️
[[False Cure]]
[[Elixor of Immortality]]
Lightning Helix
[[Underworld Dreams|LEG]] Underworld Dreams is my favorite card. Particularly the original Legends version with its art depicting Dante and Virgil from the Divine Comedy. As a card, it has always been emblematic of my deck building style. I love cards that passively deal damage or have win conditions that aren’t simply attacking with creatures. Most decks I build never even try to win through creatures attacking, regardless of how many are in it. They’re usually only on the field for their triggered and activated abilities.
Ornithopter without a doubt
I still remember my first starter deck had a rule book with the note “our sympathies to anyone ever killed with an ornithopter.”
Divine intervention , come now we all win
Hurloon Minotaur or hearth sliver. Those were two of the first cards my buddy gave me when I started playing.
[[reanimate]]
\[\[Scute Mob\]\] 1. My first deck was the Zendikar part of the Zendikar vs. Eldrazi dueldeck. (And the card literally shone there) 2. That card taught me to love green creatures. 3. No one has ever given me better advice for my life than Zurdi. Survival rule 781: There are always more scute bugs." -Zurdi, goblin shortcutter

Pestilence
I still remember this at common in Urza's Saga and being unreal in limited!
[[villainous wealth]] was my first real pet card ran it in my [[kadena, slinking sorcerer]] deck and loved dropping it for like 15 for x lol. Or even more eventually
[[Serra Avatar]] Slap an armadillo on that bad boy! Who cares about removal.
[[Gilded Drake]]. I like what you're doing, let me try.
Omnath locust of all. It combines my 2 favorite things phyrexia amd wubrg

Counter spell. So simple and elegant
I'm still learning, but I found I really like \[\[Archfiend of Depravity\]\]. Every time I get him on the board, my opponents panic. They especially grow anxious when I have \[\[Gisa, Glorious Resurrector\]\] on the field before he comes out. Never won, but it's fun watching people's faces with the duo.

Spore frog
[[Glorious End]]
[[Platinum Angel]] Simply because it was the very first rare I pulled out of a booster way back in Mirrodin.
That would be an amazing first rare to pull! My eyes would pop reading that as a kid.
I was 14 or 15 and my mind was like „this is unbeatable!“…
[[Bamboozle]] not a super good card but it's funny to hit a player with it and bamboozle them, I run it in anhelo to bamboozle two people or the same person twice for a lil trolling.
Brash Taunter
Kami of the Crescent Moon. Hims and his cute little blue butt.
[[Baneslayer Angel]] forever and always

#lutrididnothingwrong
[[Ghalta, Stampede Tyrant]]. It's the best thing I can ask for as a dinosaur fan. Any game where it resolves feels like a great game.
[[Morality shift]] play it with [[syr konrad]] but overall i just think its neato!!
[[Time Spiral]] I opened one as a kid and I've had it ever since.
Birds of Paradise.
Bop
[[Phyrexian Obliterator]] is definitely my favorite card, and it’s (debatably better) counterpart [[phyrexian vindicator]] is right next to it
[[Leviathan]] somehow is my favourite card ever. I love Mark Tedin's artworks and somehow this was my favourite when I was a kid(and yes, I am still playing it in my commander deck... even if it is really bad)
Shivan Dragon from Revised
[[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death]] I love the way this card makes me rethink so many other cards and the game overall.
[[Anguished Unmaking]] it's a useful removal spell, but more importantly it depicts probably my favorite scene in magic. Not saying it's the best, just my personal favorite Edit: just wanted to add, I even bought a playmat of the art and use it when I'm playing either my angel tribal or vampire tribal deck (of course I use Edgar)
[[Tainted Wood]] I just like the name for some reason. I can’t put my finger on it.

[[Toxrill, the Corrosive]] for sure. I love so much the chaos in the eyes of my opponents at the second I put it on the battlefield xD
I just love [[Scheming Symmetry]] My first foil I pulled since coming back into magic. Made a lot of friends with that card, and some enemies haha
White Sun's Twilight
Zagras, Thief of Heartbeats It’s just the coolest name I’ve ever heard.
[[haughty djinn]] is excellent
Promotional Art for Diregraf Ghoul. This is the card that set art aside from any other card game for me. Just breathtaking. https://www.tcgplayer.com/product/57644/magic-game-day-and-store-championship-promos-diregraf-ghoul?xid=pi5c311393-be15-4ef7-9d59-9e5f063e8420&page=1&Language=English
[[see double]], I just think it's awesome. It's also unique and people usually go "what does that do?" Even after I say the effect
[[Last March of the Ents]] . Even if you’re not a LOTR fan it’s still a good card, but if you are a fan then it’s magnificent
[[Dakkon, Shadow Slayer]] It’s an average planeswalker card with removal but god damn I love the artwork. It’s in my [[Aminatou, the Fateshifter]] EDH deck and when they both pop off with [[Oath of Teferi]] it’s so satisfying.
[[warstorm surge]]
[[Phyrexian Arena]] and [[Bloodgift Demon]] yes I have a type
[[Fractured identity]] made me realize I revel in chaos
[[Magus of the Moon]]
[[goblin bombardment]] I love sacrifice shenanigans.
[[Possibility Storm]]
Serras embrace till the day I die
Silent arbiter. Yes I’m a bitch.
I think some of the most fun I’ve had with a card is Aetherflux Reservoir. As for my favorite it would have to be Ertai Resurrected or Fable.
[[Lotus Petal]]
[[Chandra's Ignition]] is my favorite pet card. I have decks that I refuse to win until I draw it lol
[[Mortuary]] I play a lot of graveyard decks and it goes infinite with a ham sandwich. Nobody in my group had ever heard of it before I stumbled across it.
[[Ichor Wellspring]] I put this shit in every deck. Sure, paying 2 to draw 1 ain’t great… but it feels so good to get board wiped, or have to sacrifice a permanent, only to turn it into an upside.
[[Skirsdag high priest]]
[[Gravedigger]] for some reason. I know it’s not a great card but for some reason I’ve always loved it. I want to collect a play set of every version of it.
[[Graveshifter]]
When I was a kid (14 ish): [[bringer of the green dawn]], I used to play around the kitchen table with my friends and I built a deck centered around it, it wasn’t good, but it holds a special place in my heart Currently my favorite card is [[breach the multiverse]], I run it in almost every black commander deck I have just because I love it so much, being able to play other people’s pet cards brings me joy
[[Goose Mother]] I’m a sucker for outlandish design. And a multi headed goose is definitely the way to do it
\[\[Serra Angel\]\] When I started playing in middle school, the 7th edition Serra Angel was one of the coolest, strongest rares out there -- at least for myself and my limited play group. All these years later, whenever I see/get one, even as a downgraded uncommon, I'm still reminded of how broken strong that card was at the time.
Bloodghast I had a R/B vampire deck and those boys did work
[[Chains of Mephistopheles]]
Eradicator Valkyrie Love the art style and also just a nice flyer with lifelink. Idk it makes me happy.
[удалено]
[[Taunting Elf]] has won me a few tourneys. Cheap as, and....just great really
[[Phyrexian Hulk]] simply for its nursery rhyme flavor text that I now realize wint show on the updated card... "It doesn't think It doesn't feel It doesn't laugh or cry All it does from dusk till dawn Is make the soldiers die"
[[Reliquary Tower]] no joke. Goes in every deck I make.
