My personal favorite villain was Hidetsugu. He was a maniacal bad ass, and he went so far as to fight his god(s) for showing cowardice. Although he wasn't the 'real' bad guy of the novels he outshines the rest of them.
Bolas in Timespiral was a very good villian since his motivations and needs didnt include to BREAK A PLANE IN HALF (probably since the rifts were causing that) but he was looking to restore his power and he was doing it manipulating the weaver king and such.
As Tezzeret pointed out, Bolas wasn't a villain. It was Leshrac who manipulated the Weaver King and Leshrac fought against Bolas.
cool villains not mentioned: Leshrac, Kaervec, Marisil.
villains that sucked: Oona and all the villains from Lorwyn/Shadowmoor, Lim-Dul, that chick from Prophecy, The First from Onslaught.... and Heidar from coldsnap-although the way he murked lovissa coldeyes still haunts me.
BTW, have you noticed that we've had villains in every color except Green? Are they saying green can't be evil?

They've actually talked about this before. It's not impossible, but it's hard to make green villains. The true green mage is usually very very passive and bound to thier location.
The closest they could do, they've said, is to craft the green villain as an eco terrorist or something similar.
Worst.... Oona, Weaver King, Entire Odyssey/Onslaught.... just horrid
Best... Konda, Mochi, Various Ravnica folks, Sengir
i actually kind of like laquatus as the arcytype of the sceming politician, the cabal in onslaught was cool too but mostly just from a flavor perspective defenetly not as liveley and well done as the better villans
I agree that the lorowyn villians sucked as well, that set was basically desighned by disney anyway so the villans are obviously gonna be clowns
Szadek in the first Ravnica novel is one of my favorites, though. I loved that book, and him lurking in the background pulling every little string to manipulate every single character into place for his plan. When he returned in Dissension, well... I like to think that cycle of books ended after two books. Or even just one.
Oh god, i completly agree. Guildpact and Dissension were a big step down from Ravnica. And Szadek is also one of my favorites too. Can't go wrong with psychic vampires.
Volrath will always be the best villain in the world of Magic. Always wished they didn't screw up his card like they did with Gerrard.
I agree that Nicol shouldn't be viewed as a villain. He is much like the devil or Mephisto from the Marvel Universe. That's why OMD never worked for me, but that's for another board on another website entirely.
Worst, I'm not sure. I hated the Mirrodin novels but that may have been due to writing, I like when the villains are deranged so it's tough to hate Memnarch.
I always felt that Bolas was all talk, but I only know of him via Legends 2.

O_o - I completely fgot Leshrac, Yup my mistake.
However the point of the observation was to demonstrate how a "nerfed" bolas was indeed a very good villain.
again sorry

Best-Grand Arbiter Augustin (after waiting for Szadek to get owned, I actually didn't see him coming).
Worst-Ashling (it just didn't make sense).

He's the only villain who really "won" by block's end. He should still be on Ravnica manipulating ghosts.
And my guess is that Hidetsugu, having absorbed the power of his oni, is still a dominant force on Kamigawa.
Every main villain from every block after Onslaught has survived in one fashion or other. None have been destroyed.
Unlikely, the sister are more dominante. Heartless is strong, but he'd never be able to overpower the sisters.
Oh god, i completly agree. Guildpact and Dissension were a big step down from Ravnica. And Szadek is also one of my favorites too. Can't go wrong with psychic vampires.

First combo I ever worked out. Yeah, I like Volrath's card well enough.
I never liked Volrath's card, i always saw him more of a :symu::symb: Morphling myself.
