I've got fond memories of what my friends called the Inception Deck. It was a red sligh deck that was perfectly capable of winning within a few turns/minutes, but with four Shahrazads and four Burning Wishes tacked on, a single game took literally over two hours. Each of my friends played it once, and then it was decommissioned forever.
Cause it doesn't get more BAMF than Jokulhaups
Fast forward to now, and I think I would have to say currently my favorite card is Deadeye Navigator for many of the same reasons. Like I said, I love value, and Navigator is the undisputed king of pushing value to the max. Not surprisingly, Navigator is amazing with Witness among many, many, many others. It's a subtly powerful card that is open-ended and synergizes with so many different creatures it's ridiculous. From creating infinite mana with Palinchron, to drawing masses of cards with Mulldrifter, tutoring whatever you need with Rune-Scarred Demon, littering the board with greenery via Avenger of Zendikar, pumping your team to hilariously large sizes with Craterhoof Behemoth, bouncing everything with Venser, Shaper Savant, or simply acting as a bodyguard for an important creature; Navigator does it all, turning even the humblest of Coiling Oracles into incredible card-advantage machines. He enables so much fun stuff (and a lot of less-than-fun stuff, as well, depending on which side of the table you're sitting on) that he gets my vote for favorite Magic card...at least for now.
(p.s. Can you tell I play mostly Commander? )
And you know, it actually is kinda playable. Like a worse sun droplet, but hey, it draws cards.
I love this card for the reason that it let you cast instant and sorcery cards in any order. I use this card in my storm deck; burst decent amount of mana with desperate ritual and pyretic ritual then top it off with manamorphose, cast EE and get more mana cards for free. If the X for EE is high enough, ignite memories, grapeshot cast by EE with 7+ storm count for overkill.
LSP's flexible:
Most importantly, although LSP's a game-breaking finisher, he takes work and takes a risk (gambling all your mana on him). Powerful, but fun and interactive. And he's particularly funny when I think about hexproof. I can't stand hexproof, and LSP's about as anti-hexproof as it gets. From your opponent's point of view, LSP offers plenty of opportunity to be taken out before breaking the game. And from your point of view, if LSP fully levels up, he's probably going to take out your opponent's hexproofee's because the wave of 6 damage doesn't target. Brilliant.
