A lot of people like Dark Confidant, but I think he's overrated.
Try him out in 5C Domain Zoo paired w/Sensei's Divining Top sometime...you'll be a believer. He's really good. In any deck where the casting costs are low (i.e. most decks in Type 1), he's pure rocket fuel.
My personal #1 is hands down Exalted Angel (who ranks as a top 10). She's got the artwork, the flavor, the ability to swing games, evasion, lifelink...she's my girl!
But if you wanna see how i'd place a top 10
Top 5 "The Obvious" (no order)
- Tog....unlike goyf, tog can just swing once to end you. Aside from his abilities, he sports a grin that rivals the joker.
- Goyf....well, that's all i really have to say
- Mother of Runes....def a top 5. protections from *name color* is nothing to scoff at. Plus she's a 1 drop.
- Welder...a monster. No removal turn 1-2 will burn you if he's across the table. He's capable of creating havoc very easily.
- Morphling...works well on its own + if you build any 'draw-go' style deck, Morphling only becomes THAT much better
I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.

Tarmogoyf. He can find a home in any deck, which is not true of the creatures mentioned above.
He is also the most expensive ($$) creature mentioned thus far.

it has its weaknesses, but a 5/5 trample on turn 3 is magnificent
actually that would be bad, since the opponent has time to establish defense -- resulting in you losing stuff on the table. If negator doesnt have mana accel and/or discard-to-opponent's-hand stuff to protect it, it's actually not too powerful. Same could be said about alot of cards, but negator hurts you more than helps you without it on turn 1. drawing into it also sucks....if you draw into other top creatures (maybe birds aside as well), you're gonna be happy. I can't say I'd feel good topdecking a negator down the pipe

on turn three, most of the cards you have in play won't be that good anyway. just small guys. which is great for the negator because he can trample over all your opponent's little guys. i will admit that it is only good at the beginning of the game.

Wild Mongrel - An insane creature for it's time.
Psychatog - Again, on par with Wild Mongrel during Invasion/Odyssey standard.
Tarmogoyf - 2.00 dollars for a playset? Yeah, I'll take those.
Dark Confidant - Card advantage like no other.
Morphling - Once upon a time, Blue was good.
Goblin Welder - Recurring Mindslaver? Seems pretty good.
Exalted Angel - Turn 3 Astral Slide, turn 4 morph, cycle and slide out at EOT.
Phyrexian Dreadnought - Two mana 12/12 trample. That's fair.

Actually Bolas, Morphling WAS the most expensive creature in magic, topping 50$ in his heydey. Nowadays, he's dropped quite a bit, but he still turns heads.

Birds of Paradise, though it has its own niche, cannot compete with the impact the cards listed above have.

Dark Ritual has a lot to do with it.

"Other Notables"
- Exalted Angel
- Goblin Lackey...needs a goblin deck built around him
- Phyrexian Drednought...stifle makes Dread stupid-good
- Mishra's Factory...part-land/part-machine. It does its magic in more decks than people notice/give credit to
- Birds of Paradise
- Wild Nacatl / Kird Ape...solid beatdown

Thats true. But i think that birds is one of the best cards u can start off with in ur hand when playing with a deck with 3 or more colours.
it has its weaknesses, but a 5/5 trample on turn 3 is magnificent
EXALTED ANGEL also has morph! haha best ability in the game! (debatable i know)
