I've been kind of interested in the, as of writing this post, recent posts highlighting the differences between modern and older creature designs. My understanding of this is that, looking back into magics history, creatures tended to be able to suffice for competitive play solely on their body and a key word.
This is especially true in retail limited magic, particularly for the (now discontinued) core sets, where the biggest body with evasion is king.
I'd love to both celebrate and give opportunity to showcase, the curve toppers (4+ cmc) that are mostly good bodies with a smaller effect, that have won many a limited game.
The one's I've begun listing above are commons and uncommons, since I think that rare cards to a lesser extend define the limited formats and thus aren't the kind of cards I'm thinking of.
What card's do you know of that fit into this idea?
