I have a particular affinity for creatures with "enter the battlefield" abilities. I suppose that's one reason why I love the reprint of the titans, despite the fact that most people were not pleased to see them return. They're just such great value!
So, I was hoping that you all could help me keep a little running compendium of the creatures with the best ETB effects of all time. I haven't played for long, so there're things from the years of MTG gone by that are unbeknownst to me.
Check out the top 50 lists for a start. While a good chunk of them don't have etb abilities, a lot of the quality ones for this format are on there. Outside of that, you really have to narrow it down a bit. Are you looking for specific effects, specific colors, or for people to just post their favorites?

Thanks, man. Was previously unaware of that. Bookmarked the crap out've that
Too bad they haven't reprinted Wall of Blossoms in commander decks like Wall of Omens. What gives WotC? I suppose it's not too terribly costly to begin with.
For those that remember old Extended and Survival decks: Man-o'-War.
I think I've actually already been familiar with all of the cards that people have mentioned, excepting perhaps 1 or 2. That's encouraging, I suppose, but I was kind of hoping there was all kinds of awesome stuff out there I wasn't aware of.
EDIT: The_Wall posted while I was writing this, introducing another handful of cards I wasn't previously aware of, and negating my above statement
Yeah, she's one of my faves. I've been keeping my eye on the developing Sharuum threads over in the multiplayer forums, trying to get ideas for building my own Sharuum combo-ish deck in the near future. No one in my playgroup plays either an Esper deck -OR- an artifact deck. I think it'd be fun.

Yep. I'm running Mnemonic Wall as a crappy budget replacement for Snapcaster Mage. It's the best I could think of.
