Card/Deck Your top 5 cards of all time!

some artifact deck and elves deck stuff from 2010's MTGO 100 card singleton
aww, I didn't even think about fake formats and now I have to add one

HONORARY MENTION NUMBER SIX OF MY LIST


When you have to build your entire deck around the payoff, it better be good. And sure, Boomerang wasn't an instant, but they only let you play four Eye of Nowhere, and really, that being a totally accurate sentence about that Standard and later the very brief "MTGO Core Set Only Constructed"* format is everything you need to know.

Magnivore was not the best deck, but it's the exact kind of high I want to chase with every cube build-around. Get this Umori, the Collector nonsense outta here. Hoop has to be jumpable (Lurrus of the Dream-Den) and the power level worth it (and uh... Lurrus of the Dream-Den)

*No, I didn't get to play Eye of Nowhere there. I also didn't know about Ant Queen + Opposition until I had my ass handed to me playing for t8, sb Pyroclasm was not even close to good enough. Stupid 7th edition.
 
This card was the first thing I ever built a deck around! Target yourself, and you probably get instant threshold, enabling werebear, nimble mongoose, and a host of other Odyssey block beaters!

You see, this is way more rational than the first time I built a deck with it, which was a weird Pauper combo deck focused on one-shotting people with Harvest Pyre + Ragged Veins. In that specific context, Book Burning targeting yourself is just a {1}{R} Sorcery that deals 7 damage to villain, it's just villain's choice whether or not they take that damage now or later.

Man I love how stupidly jank this game is sometimes.
