I love [Oil-Gorger Troll]. ONE was one of my favorite draft environments, and I really loved the oil counter mechanic. I keep a very jank oil based edh deck around. He won me a bunch of games in draft, I love the art, and the “flavor” text (get it?) cracks me up.
What card sparks joy for you and why?
Avenging Angel seemed so cool when I first started playing. It didn’t die, and a 3/3 flyer was pretty good a closing games (though not as quick as a Thorn Elemental).
I just loved how it kept coming back to avenge itself.
I love Wash Out, it’s a real game changer in monoblue.
Once Upon a Time is perhaps the greatest gameplay-flavor integration win Magic has ever had. For a while, standard matches all began with someone saying the name of the card.
The most metal White card. Black gets all the cool spooky business, Red gets all the fury and devastation, and here’s a goddamn nuke with minimal centered text.
