Top 10 giant growth next ?
Seeing Lightning Bolt's score makes me wanna see a top 10 "most powerful cards in magic" or something along those lines, in which you rank the cards with the highest scores amongst the top 10s you ever did.
I second this motion
are there any cards with 1000?
@@dariush314159 Looking at a three year old video, the highest scoring card was Ancestral Recall with 622points. Who knows how much it gained in that time
That would be awesome!
@@dariush314159 ua-cam.com/video/7rJzyQJUZtw/v-deo.html Back then, Black Lotus had 1,024 points.
Incinerate doesn't exile it prevents regeneration
Omg he screwed up how embarrassing 😂😂
LOL
Kind of an easy goof, especially having just talked about Pillar of Flame.
prob thinking of disintegrate
I really like how Lightning Bolt has GAINED more points since the last video than the number 5 (and those lower, obviously) card had total!
And it would have been number 1 even solely on the basis of Modern points.
Never seen a more foregone conclusion in my life. Bolt4life
Yeah. I was going to type "Bolt albo śmierć" which is "bolt or death" in Polish, implying I'd bet my life on it.
*Bolt3Life
Bolt might as well be a modal spell. Opponent has a creature? It's removal. Clear board, send it to the face. Attacking or blocking, it can mess up the opponent's combat math.
One of my favorite janky decks to play is "Bolt Tribal." It's basically just burn, but you replace all the creatures with even more burn spells. lol
We think alike! Except my version only uses cards with the word lightning in the name.
Mine is a commander deck that has 100 cards that all have lightning in the art… so hard to find lightning based ramp.
I love this idea. I did the opposite and made the creatures the "burn" instead in Mardu. Players of Incadescent Soulstoke, Thundering Awakener, Spark Elemental, Lightning Serpent, Hellspark Elemental, Ball Lightning, Lightning Skelemental and Spark Trooper. Desperate ritual to help get Incadescent down with 2 mana or Ball Lightning and to help put out Elemental Appeal if the game drags on.
@@ducktheseraph Ooh!! I love this idea too!
@@GumballMachinery Thanks! I'd say give it a shot, all the lands are basic and it's probably my fastest 60 card deck. Whether it counts in Modern or just Legacy I haven't really gone over I just like the idea.
This list should be called “top 9 non lighting bolt burn spells”.
The only way the dread *Lightning Bolt* could ever be unseated is if all formats except Vintage banned it. That would probably slow it down enough to be passed. Eventually of course. XD
I wanna see just a “top ten cards” list where it’s just the top ten cards with the most points, total, probably excluding the power 9 tho
Idk if excluding power 9 would be necessary - they only have vintage or show up in, so might be outcompeted by this scoring
Top 5 cards are the basic lands
@@SpySappingMyKeyboard You would think, but nah. 3 years ago in a 'top 10 instants' list he did Ancestral Recall had 622 points. Already more than what lightning bolt has now 3 years later.
I don't want to beat a dead horse to death, but Incinerate only prevents regeneration. You can still recover the creature from the graveyard.
BURN BABY BURN, DISCO INFERNO! Man that song is good, almost as good as "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!
Man, that was almost as weak as Lightning Bolt is strong.
Funny how the rules change for CMC of split cards (like fire//ice) stopped the interaction with isochron scepter but allowed it to interact favorably with cascade cards instead.
It would be interesting to see the top 10 spells that deal damage rather than specifically burn spells. Maybe non-creature spells or specifically instants/sorcery spells that deal damage. Kind of like a spell-slinger special.
I think it would be neat to see 'Top Ten MTG Cards' full stop. I know it would feature a lotta cards we have already seen, but something about the big numbers is fun for me to watch
Play With Fire's gonna be on this list in a few years, that shit's everywhere
None of these can take out Teeka's Dragon. Kolghan's Command in theory can, but Teeka's Dragon isn't an artifact if you believe strongly enough.
One with the Stars, then?
Nothing can take out Teeka's Dragon!
Well by the time the dragon comes out your opponent probably already spent all of their removal so teeka's dragon technically has hexproof.
Just wanted to say When I was first getting into magic seriously back in 2018, I used to binge watch your videos. My old UA-cam got lost with my 3:22 old phone and so I forgot about your channel until recently and I’m so glad that I found it again. Thank you for the amazing content I’m glad to be back watching your videos.
Watching this on a Thursday just feels great.
That‘s a neat video about Pauper and Legacy Burn!
I find particularly interesting to see how cards like DRC, Ragavan or Urza's saga has changed Burn spells' hierarchy.
Curious on how Play With Fire is doing on making this list one day. It's simply a better Shock.
seeing how safe lightning bolt is at the top spot, it makes me wonder, what would be the 10 safest cards to stay at the top position throughout the different lists.
These revisits are always interesting
The goblin suicide bomb (can't remember name) from early magic was so nasty. Made me stop playing one of my friends because he only played burn :D 5 damage to the face for the low cost of R + a goblin makes me very sad, very quickly.
Goblin Grenade
Powerful list!
Wasn't expecting to see shock get outclassed, but I suppose we do see a lot more 'Shock with set mecanic' style cards these days which causes shock to just be printed less.
Watched this video just after seeing MtG Remy's We Didn't Start the Fire parody. Is the universe telling us something?
Play With Fire must be pretty annoyed, being strictly better than Shock, but also knowing that it will probably never make this list.
Not gonna started the video yet, but bolt has to be #1
Is it NOT Lightning Bolt? I mean that would break the rule of, you never have the first one as the thumbnail so...Kolaghan's Command?
He has the #1 as the thumbnail a decent amount
Spoiler
Sometimes a card is such an iconic example of what the top 10 list is looking at that I break that rule. Haha
@@NizzahonMagic Fair enough
Fire/Ice is the one card that was "buffed" by the rule change that Valki/Tibalt caused.
PS: "Gut Shot for the win!" is my favorite tournament moment, ever.
I think the rule change you're referring to was caused by the interaction between Brain in a Jar and Breaking//Entering.
You used to be able to cast it fused with the Brain on two counters and that was too busted even for modern.
Bolt the Birds. 😂
I fully expected to see Fireblast somewhere in the top 2. Fury should have been mentioned as part of the cards that can't be on this list as it is a fantastic card worth not, even following its ban.
To put how strong Lightning Bolt is into perspective: most of this list is made of strictly worse and less efficient but slightly more flexible spells.
The return of "Lightning Bolt and every other card that wishes it was Lightning Bolt"
Incinerate doesn't exile tho…
Aww, yes! My favorites!
I love how inexpensive all of these cards are, despite their raw power. It's always hilarious when someone running an expensive top-tier deck gets rolled by a bunch of cheap commons, and burn does that pretty regularly.
It is hillarious because it happen occasionaly if it become dominant you sheepmind scrubs would hate it instead. Look at standard hazoret with raptor
I'd say that there is one question with Lightning Bolt: "Does it resolve?"
An interesting list would be top ten banned cards with the most points
I once though it would be a good idea to bring a Burn Only no creature deck to a local tourney. I didn't last long 🤦♂
Wow? Kcommand is still performing? Nice.
now that i look at it bonecrusher giant is kinda busted. you get a not so bad on the vanilla test creature WITH UPSIDE and a burn spell and you can cast both sides quiet easily. just damn
Eldraine is wild
Surprised grapeshot or fireball wasn't on the list
Make sure you watch till the end . . . I was stunned
If Battles are any good in older formats, Chain Lightning is going to surge up this list.
So lightning bolt and 9 other cards
Fireblast better be in here
Sad that never being reprinted keeps Fireblast off of the list. It's definitely one of the best burn spells ever. What I wouldn't give for it to be legal in modern...
Nizzahon is a channel where you can speed up to 2x without missing anything.
I cant believe fire blast isnt on here, unless its banned or never got reprinted.
Lightning bolt is just busted, but for some reason it doesn't bother me.
It's just that iconic that it's basically integral to the game and red as a color.
What are the top ten cards that have the most points according to your ranking system?
Is there a top 10 list for red X spells?
No, but X spells more broadly.
sigh ...no love for flamerift,boros charm and thunderous wrath hehehe
After seeing the #1, i would be curious to see a Top 10 ''most points''
The only question is by how much Lightning Bolt is number one.
#2: 164 points
Bolt: 547 points
Have you ever done top 10 cards ever?
Is it just me, or does Incinerate not Exile creatures, they just can't regen. You said Incinerate exiles the creature twice, my guy. Right?
(11:41) Did you put the wrong Card Kingdom price for Bonecrusher Giant there? I got a Bonecrusher Giant not too long ago for I think about 50 cents, and looking up this one on Card Kingdom myself, I see it priced at $1.29 for the regular version. There is a promotional one that's listed at $3.99, but I think it would make more sense if you showed the price for the cheapest variant of the card in most cases.
What about bump in the Night?
Tbh play with fire should replace shock entirely. 1R instant 2 damage Any target, scry 1 if player is target
The amount of points Bolt GAINED is almost as much as 2nd place HAS
Okay, maybe I misunderstand new terminology, but doesn't 'exile' mean it's removed from play entirely? On Incinerate, it simply prevents regeneration, which should only mean that you can't save it from the graveyard if it's killed that turn. Or am I completely wrong?
No, he made a small misstake there
@@olafthemoose9413 Okay. I'm an older player - started in Alpha - so I'm not totally familiar with newer keywords and terminology.
Vexing devil braaaaaah
Is searing blaze's landfall requirement too much to be considered for the list?
No, it just doesn't have enough points.
Wait what's a card that does damage to Planeswalkers or creatures called?
Removal.
Does anything that isn't a basic land have more points than lightning bolt?
Incinerate buries, it does not exile.
No X spells? Disintigrate, Fireball, Earthquake?
How does incinerate have exile?
So where does Teeka's Dragon theoretically fit into all this?
With rampage, it takes 3 Lightning Bolt to kiil it! So strong!
I thought embershot would make it
Was there any surprise it would be lightning bolt?
Isn't Play With Fire a strictly better Shock?
Can someone explain to me how Gut Shot (an uncommon) is legal in Pauper? I thought that only cards that are Commons can be played there.
It has a Common reprint.
It was reprinted as a common in Modern Masters 2015. As far as Pauper is concerned, if a card was ever printed as a common, it's legal, even if it was printed at other rarities other times.
Lol when I started playing I thought Kindle was an amazing burn card
I know it's a niche case, but Spikefield Hazard can also exile a planeswalker. I can't think of how that is super relevant, but exile is forever gone (for now), so it's pretty good.
"but exile is forever gone" ???
@@kjmergen Apologies. If something goes to the graveyard, a player can always use recursion to get it back. But, if the card is exiled, for the most part it isn't coming back. There are corner cases where this isn't true, but by and large exile means the card is gone forever.
Is there even any other card that has more points? Apart from like, giving points to basic lands...
If a creature gets damaged by incinerate and it dies it gets exiled... WTF?
Disappointed you went with the Ice Age incinerate and not the Mirage
I mean, Fire//Ice is powerful enough that a hypothetical Blank//Ice (that still had 3 mana value, or something) would see play. The power of it is pretty much all in the ice side.
Those Into the Am shirts are absolutely terrible. A new definition of tasteless. I get you'll take any sponsorship you can get but wow are they awful.
