Most of Black's creature revival spells pictures zombies, skeletons, and spirits coming back from the dead, yet most creatures you revive are revived as is with no zombie, skeleton, or spirit type. Rise of the Dark Realms
Black can revive an inorganic artifact creature as a Zombie. Rise from the Grave
I think the reasoning was "I'm indestructible, and subsequently fight with the same ferocity shown by the whole Legion, but I only receive my truest of strength when I fight with my soldiers-in-arms."
Some creatures like Thunder-Thrash Elder can eat Spirits, Illusions, Elementals, and certain creatures that should be instant death if ate "Phyrexian Plaguelord".
Well, Evil Cartman was a pretty swell guy, so I guess the evil twin relationship is like multiplying by a negative number. Two evils make a good, like two negatives make a positive. But two wrongs don't make a right, because that's addition. or someting

Onering's 4 simple steps that let you solve any problem with Magic's gameplay
Whether its blue players countering your spells, red players burning you out, or combo, if you have a problem with an aspect of Magic's gameplay, you can fix it!
Step 1: Identify the problem. What aspect of Magic don't you like? Step 2: Find out how others deal with the problem. How do players deal with this aspect of the game when they run into it? Step 3: Do what those players do. Step 4: No more problem. Bonus: You are now better at Magic. Enjoy those extra wins!

In this case, you've got one old reptilian cooter that you DO NOT want to **** around with.
How so? You're selling your creature. From there you either go with the "commerce = life" analogy mentioned earlier or assume you buy some food with the proceeds and use the "food = life" analogy. (Or that you sell your creature to be slaughtered for meat. Take your pick.)
I'm not really sure what the flavor behind Pithing Needle is supposed to be, but it amuses me to imagine myself preemptively stabbing Jace, the Mind Sculptor in the brain.
Edit: On second thought, It actually does make some sense, I guess. So um... Apparently angels love bacon.
Clearly, they're Reform angels. (Thank you, 9001 Tumblr references to Maro's love of ham.)
Sprouting Phytohydra specifies that its controller may put a token into play. In a tournament setting, the controller would be forced to end this loop.
My favorite Emmara fail is Illness in the Ranks. You had one job, Emmara, one job, and you ****ed it up!

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
Pestermite with a batterskull or other rediculous equitment. How can a small faerie like pestermite pick up a huge battering ram and fly around with it?

with the power of five colourless mana it can be fused onto it (you cannot just unequip an equipment without attaching it to another) so its not ludicrous.
Your horde of flying faeries tokens will die on the Caltrops I concealed on the ground. Also, Floral Spuzzem will decide what to do with that artifact whenever it suits him.
I notice that Boros swiftblade has double strike, but is wielding only a single sword in its art, while Gisela, Blade of Goldnight is wielding two swords in her art, but has only first strike.
On that subject, how, exactly, does a fireshrieker grant a creature double strike?
Silence the Believers very clearly exiles leonin (who are, on Theros at least, atheists). Also, I'm not sure exiling auras is in black's pie, but that's more a color pie thing.

Roil Elemental doesn't have Devour.
also why was Griselbrand not a 7/7 for 7 mana that you could pay seven life with to draw seven cards?

Development. MaRo has commented numerous times on that one.
For me it's little things.
"I'm the Kinsbaile Skirmisher! You go do my fighting for me."
equipment that's obviously designed for a humanoid equippable by random things like sigiled starfish

The one that's always been awkward flavor-wise to me is the role of the graveyard when combining mill and reanimation effects. Sometimes they make a bit of sense (it's plausible that whatever you're actually doing in Forbidden Alchemy could involve leaving some corpses behind) but more often they don't - excuse me while I erase the text on a couple of pages in your spellbook and then resurrect some of that erased text as a zombie.

Still doable.

The fact that cards like Terror can kill heroic or giant godlike beings (Silvos, rogue elemental or Godsire or someone willing to kill himself to obliterate evil say lightbringer) yet a wimpy coward like blood pet or bogard exile are fearless unslaughterable beings?

Spells such as lightning bolt and fireball can damage, and destroy, creatures whose bodies are composed of fire and lightning, such as lightning elemental and fire elemental.
Shatter can destroy artifacts that are made of materials that do not normally shatter (i.e., metal and paper).
