One of my first rares. Always loved the artwork.
Part of me wants to say thoughtseize, because it's the best pre-removal in the game. Get rid of anything, make that opponent suffer from their poor mulliganing decision. But honestly, I don't think it's thoughtseize, I don't think thoughtseize is even my favorite spell. I think I like Abrupt Decay more.
My favorite creature, though, is either Snapcaster or deathrite shaman. They're both so very powerful and give you the ability to do very unique and interesting things. Both bring a lot to the game.
My favorite land is either the unhinged foil swamp, the guru mountain, or this ice age island I used to proxy a goblin guide on. I drew a little guy and a boat on the island.
But, I honestly have to my favorite card is Mindsculptor. Like the other cards I've named here, this one is clearly very powerful, I don't think I need to discuss what is powerful about it. It's power is one of it's big draws to me, but there's more to it than that. I quit magic around the time it was banned in standard, partly because of my play group, partly because of being tired of playing caw-go mirrors. When I got back into magic it wasn't long before Jace was back to his old price tag. When my friend and I were able to trade for our first Jace of our new collection, it brought up a feeling for me. It was like coming home. It was like seeing an old friend again after a very long time. JTMS is my favorite card, because of it's power, but also because it has sentimental feelings to me, it carries a nostalgia that even cards from my childhood don't. Sure, I learned to respect the Fires of Yavimaya, I know the potency of an armadillo's cloak, or even the damage possible from a well timed goblin grenade, but they're nothing like the fear of being unable to answer a Mindsculptor.
My favorite card is Jace, The Mind Sculptor and I don't feel bad about it in the least.
My Mox sits proudly in my collection, testament to both the scrub I once was, and how far I've come in my appreciation of all things magic.
