The great thing about midnight haunting is that it's one of the few white 3's that costs not 1WW but 2W. The bad thing about it is that it sucks

MOR is great, I wonder if I wrote an EVE article once. Can't even remember

Battle Screech cawwwwwwww

Abstractly, I like an elegant and clever design that maximizes impactful decisions, I guess. Putting this into words helps

Pack Rat duh. my nominations will ignore issues of development i.e. card 1 being too good and card 2 having been too good: Survival of the Fittest Arcbound Ravager Cabal Therapy

Onderzeebot is right that the problem is the middle set, which almost always sucks. Historically this seems to be a recent phenomenon: Alliances -- this will always be one of the best and most innovative sets of all time, and is of great historical significance because it "saved" Magic (or so...

sure, the least relevant colors, i guess, except the triggers are just the best ones. i have struggled to understand why shock-draw is better than wolf-mill or untap-discard, since the effects are "worth less mana," but i think i've figured it out. swords cost a million mana and the Sword of...

haha, sure, why not!

Cobra is soooo variant. Sometimes you drop it and then make a fetch and oh shit t3 Wolfir Silverheart AND ATTACK FOR SIX. Other times you play it, untap and whiff on a land and curse your misfortune at missing a nice Llanowar Elves, which is, I think, a stronger card in all formats. When Cobra...

Yeah I'm not seeing it there. :( oh well. LOW POWER CUBE PEOPLE GO

Protection is just irreducibly powerful. In Constructed this can make for meta fun -- there was a time where Mirran Crusader manhandled everything in Legacy, a year and a half ago; looks good in Death and Taxes! -- or it can make for extreme stupidity -- on what planet is printing a card like...
