Started playing during Invasion block and this was the finisher for my Black White deck. Great game ender.
Dreamborn Muse is by far my favorite in terms of artwork. It doesn't have anything fancy about it, just the simplicity in design but it is still is eye catching. Still working on getting my 4th Onslaught foil and 4 10th foils.
Mizzium Transreliquat is one of the most versatile cards in the game, and also one of the more difficult for other people to pronounce. "What is it? Um...What do you want it to be?". Extremely true, as this card with Time Vault allows for unlimited turns for 3 colorless mana, or for a boatload of mana, change it to Panoptic Mirror and imprint whatever instant you want then change it to Isochron Scepter and pelt a high cost instant for 2 after that whenever you make it a stick, or, one more convoluted example, Mimic vat, kill whatever you want, then swap to soul foundry and mass produce permanent copies. I'm still working on my foil/signed collection on this as John Avon actually does signings for his cards (1 foil, 1 signed, and 1 foil/signed)
Black Lotus
I long for the day I can hold one in my hands again!
There is nothing more fun than chaining Cryptic after Cryptic to just watch the look of despair on your opponent's face and you go on to win.
Honourable mention goes to Zur the Enchanter though. Such an amazing commander.
It just feels like such a strong and epic spell and the artwork conveys this as well.
The beauty about him is how relentless this guy can be for just 1 mana. Built around a zombie deck so you can always summon him again, and freely being able to cast sacrifice without really losing a creature, I was able to make a pretty effective deck during the M13 block. The best is when it's combined with Diregraf Captain and Grimgrin, Corpse-Born.
I drew Kal with 2 of my 4 Jacks on the field. I had the other 2 in hand, ready to go, but I didn't want ot be a douche and draw it out longer than necessary. My opponent had no answers to my creatures at the point in the game. So I told him I would play a card, and he would call the game. He looked at me, I put Kal down, and he swore.
There are so many combinations of cards that go 'hand in hand' with it..
As a control player, the flavor and effect are superb.
One of my favourite flavour texts ever written. Tragic and moving.
So affectionately named Grand Arbiter Douchebag by myself and many of my friends, he has had a special place in my heart since the days of yore that was original Ravnica. I was able to finally trade for a foil and now he adorns my W/U Reanimator deck as the general/commander.
(As a little side note, Rorix Bladewing was my favorite at the time that I started playing Magic, hence my username, but he has fallen from the top slot.)
It's such a unique and powerful ramp card.
That card is Phyresis.
Truth be told, I like Phyrexia (new or old, it doesn't matter). Having the card that essentially is the epitome of what they do is a good thing in my book. Truth be told, again, in a way Phyresis is what I'm also out to achieve in real life; I study computer science in college in order to someday develop prosthetics for just about every body part imaginable with my main sights set on the brain (no joke, although I don't intend on having Phyrexia's aggressive tendencies; in other words, I'm not for invading and forcing others to be made compleat).
It's good to have the card is essentially the representation of a life goal, at least in some way.
Gameplay-wise I really only use it on two occasions; that being dropping it on either my Thopter Assembly (once it's bounced, I have the tokens, and it's brought back) to make a 5/5 infect flier, or on another creature that I have out which doesn't normally have infect that I plan on trying to deal some direct damage with (like Plaguemaw Beast, which is usually its other target in my green/black infect deck). Either way, I wind up with Plaguemaw on the ground which can slam a target for a huge amount of -1/-1 counters, or a nigh-unstoppable 5/5 infect flier in the air which can take down anyone who lacks airpower in just two turns, or less if I proliferate.
In short; Phyresis = good in my book.
