Another reason why Rest in Peace is such a powerful sidebord card is because it's a replacement effect for death triggers, meaning any card that interacts with creatures dying (Such as Blood Artist) also gets hated out.
Balance sees more play in Vintage when the meta gets more creature-heavy, but that's not the default state of the format. When Mono White was such a big part of the meta recently, all the decks with White started siding or even maining Balance more often than they had in the Tinker combo meta before.
Swords to plowshares is such a strong card that a lot of people see other strong white removal spells(path to exile, fateful absence, etc.) and think they’re bad because their not swords to plowshares. 1 mana exile anything with little downside is so strong that a lot of other good cards are seen as bad because they aren’t swords to plowshares.
First of all, you aren’t swords to plowshares. Second of all, I am swords to plowshares. Third of all, you wanna be swords to plowshares but you can’t be swords to plowshares since I am already swords to plowshares.
I'm surprised Armageddon isn't on this list. This reads much more like a 'most playable cards in modern-day Magic' list rather than a broken cards list. It's not a bad list, and I get the title convention for algorithm purposes, but still. 'Geddon, Land Tax, Replenish, Humility, Shahrazad, Moat, heck - maybe even the CoPs - are more 'broken' than many of the cards on this list.
Right now we have battle cards on Mtga, i'm pretty sure there's still not many destroy battles effects. But prismatic ending doesn't care, like most of unbalanced white cards it can remove anything, anything but lands
You can also use STP on your own creatures in those rare edge cases when you need to, don't forget! More than once it's saved me from burn, and once put me into win condition for the "over 40 life' cat
I find the lack of white plume adventurer disturbing. The 3 mana initiative creature is way more format warping than the majority of this list. Archon of Ameria probably earns a spot if you consider vintage in this list. Turn 1 archon bricks a large swath of the format
every time i did make a Deck that had 1 White Land or 1 "add x Mana of any colour" effect Rest in Peace was a part of the Sideboard. Its such a good card to autoinclude in anything that can create 1 white mana :D Pretty fun to see Dredge decks instantly fold when you play Rest in Peace turn 1 or 2 and they dont have an immediate answer hehe
I could be mistaken, but neither Swords or Path explicitly say the exiled creature has to be your opponent's creature. So feasibly you could exile your own creature and gain those effects.
The only broken white cards I can think of are Balance, Land Tax, and Once More with Feeling. The others on this list are reasonable, and would not belong on the list of "broken" cards that includes Fastbond and Ancestral Recall (among others).
Solitude is by far a stronger card than rest in peace. Solitude sees play as a 4 of in all formats it's legal in. Honestly, solitude should probably be in the top 3 pushing out mentor.
Agree on solitude being top 3 but it definitely doesn't see play as s 4 of in legacy, decks generally play swords over solitude and only really run solitude as s 1 of or as copies 5-6 of swords
...nope. It definitely doesn't. I know people reducing the game to just Commander are annoying, but completely ignoring the format is pushing too far in the opposite direction, and in that format, it sees play in 2 percent of possible decks.
White.. ultra power with almost no downsides. Divine offering was always one of these in my book. I destroy your artifact and I gain life for your artifact equal to its mana cost. You can look at a white version of a card in every set and find the unfairness of white. Most modern example? Lets look at March of the machines. Tymarel, Chosen of Death versus Daxos, Blessed by the Sun. Both 2 devotion of their prospective color, both 2/* (toughness = current devotion). Tymarel has to pay 1B to exile up to 2 target cards form a graveyard to gain 1 life for each card exiled. Daxos life gain triggers every time a creature of the controller's ETB or dies. Old days you had black and white Knights. Both 2/2 first strike, and protection for black for the white, and white for the black. Equal. Its never that case any more. In 1994 our groups first rule 0 was to ban all versions of Circle of Protection because any one could win the game with those.
Idea for a future list. Top Ten [Walker]. So the best Chandra Planeswalker cards or the best versions of Ajani. You could add a dishonourable mention before number one for the worst version of each walker too. The walkers are popular as characters so I think the videos would be popular and you could dop your toe in the story side of Magic.
You forget Swords to plowshares' secret use; exiling your own creature to gain life in an emergency. It *sounds* like one of those things that's a quirk of the original rules text, but actually it's genuinely a powerful option to suddenly get out of burn range, and was actually an intended function of the card to boot, which is actually pretty unusual for early magic cards.
@@fernandobanda5734 So what? Still should have included them. The list is all messed up. A removal spell at 1 and whites most powerful card ever made it 4th?!
@@lloydlineske2642 Issue with balance is... Only restricted in vintage, only hits creatures and spells at sorcery speed. While it is broken, its issue is where are you going to play it and see use? Commander/Legacy/Modern? Not playable Vintage? Not useful at sorcery speed, and high artifact mana base. A 1 mana shattering spree replicated once, would do more damage to the enemy then balance in that format.
@@chronoatog5650 Oh! I thought it was titled top 10 most busted white cards of all time. I'm sorry. I didn't realize we were talking about right now and after bannings. Hopefully you can see where I made my mistake.
In my Opinion Balance is the strongest white card ever made. In combination with fast artifact mana and massive card draw (in vintage format) it turns in many situations the game from loose to win. I love it. Thx k
In any format other than exactly vintage (where decks are heavily artifact focused and often run few creatures) Balance would be in every deck. It’s not even remotely close to the other white cards in terms of power level, Swords is more versatile but Swords is just an efficient removal spells.
what about Iona, Shield of Emeria? It's expensive as heck, but you aren't going to hard cast it, ever, you cheat her out and lock opponents of a WHOLE color, and god forbid you play monocolored there's a reason she's banned in Commander
LMFAO why is Balance not reprinted into Modern sets, restricted and banned in the formats it is legal in... hmm, who knows! Balance is so much more broken than any of the cards above/below it on your list than I question whether you've ever played it before. Balance isn't a real Magic card. It's more similar to Yawgmoth's Will than a random removal spell.
Someone running balance with the intent of having it see use, like I do with my deck, isn't concerned with reaching it from within the deck. I have 4 Burning Wishes and 1 Fae of Wishes for that.
Swords to Plowshares Tournament interaction: Opponent playing Black Jack (Saproling Burst+Pandemonium, 21 damage turn 3), response to damage STP my own 2/2, survive with 1, kill next turn. Perfect card, always surprised it wasnt a rare from the start.
It really should be Balance. It's a hard card for people to assess because it's not been legal in anything but Vintage since 1995 or so (so before even a lot of players were born!) but it's an absolute blowout and if it were legal as a 4-of in any format, it would completely ruin it. Like, it's one of the most unbalanced cards ever.
Endless Horizons - Pull every single last plains out of your deck. If your whole deck is plains then you draw two cards a turn. One from your library and one will be a plains. Auto include in any monowhite deck and you don't get to argue with me on this.
I feel you’re slightly underselling how impactful the drawback of STP can be. There are times when, say, 3 life can grant an opponent just enough of a window to stabilize and find an answer to your deck (or even just combo off). What really makes STP powerful, imo, is that it’s an instant. If it were a sorcery, it would see a lot less play, but the ability to cast a 1-mana exile spell at instant speed means you can save two in your hand, exile an opponent’s combo piece or finisher, and always be ready to exile it again if they play another, *before* they get to use the rest of their turn to combo off. If they have to counter it to save their combo or synergies, they’re burning at least 2 mana on a 1 mana spell, which is restricting their options for the rest of the turn. Thus, if you chain STP, you’re forcing a decision - save the card it’s targeting, or save your mana to hopefully find another way to win.
Rest In Peace would be nuts in Yugioh. Banishing everything in the graveyards then being a Macro Cosmos sounds like some bullshit Gren Maju or Floo would bend over backwards for. Wow, that Tragic Arrogance flavor text is sad.
Nope. Exactly the other way around, because the first occurrence of the "exile and return" ability was literally on a card named Flicker, back in Urza's Destiny.
Balance not seeing a lot of play in vintage is because it's restricted. If you tutor it up it loses a lot of value usually. If you unrestrict it in vintage I bet the format would warp around the card even with all these new powerful cards because it is just a ridiculous card in decks with lots of artifacts to break the symmetry of the effect and make your opponent almost lose on turn 1 just because with the right hands you can make them discard their whole hand or most of it for 1W.
Swords to Plowshares is so good because a lot of extremely valuable utility creatures are also low in power. I'm thinking combo pieces, sac outlets and untap sources especially.
Honorable mention should go to Hushbringer. She is so underestimated. Two mana to shut down creature ETB and death triggers, on top of having flying and lifelink. Yes, she's a small creature that can die to almost any removal, but I have run up against decks that rely on ETBs and/or death triggers that run little to no removal. Many people have conceded to me on Arena once I get a Hushbringer down.
Easy to forget, since balance has always been banned in legacy for as long as the format has existed and even it's predecessor in type 1.5 while white plume is a really fresh card.
13:50 sounds like it was written by an AI. I get there’s probably a reason why Mox Jet was the specific fast mana card chosen in this case but in a best white cards list it just seems weird to choose that one over Mox Pearl. Or alternatively it could’ve just been the most iconic fast mana; Black Lotus, given as an example instead. Edit: 15:23 Calling Equipment a creature type is crazy. This is not helping the case that the script was not written by AI.
No 1 better be Balance. No. 2 Should be Armageddon. Edit: Balance at no. 4 And Armageddon not placing at all. Like AT ALL?! I get it's your opinion. But this is for sure... You are a fool. Swords is more Broken than destroying all lands? Come on dude!
I once used swords to prevent another opponent from dying to the threat by exiling a 20/23 trample... The fact that he wasnt the threat should say something.
I'm surprised Solemnity isn't on this list. It singlehandedly shuts down so many decks if not removed. Every white deck I have that doesn't rely on counters runs it.
Sorry, but 3 cards that are legal as 4-ofs in multiple formats (Mentor in Modern, Pioneer, and Standard; Stoneforge in Modern and Legacy; StP in Legacy) are not more broken than a card that is banned from all but Magic's most powerful format and legal nowhere else. That card is Balance. You can't even think of unbanning that in Legacy while the other three cards haven't even gotten close to ban talk there--and if you put Balance in any other format, it would be a disaster.
Solitude, White Plume Adventurer and arguably Leyline Binding should all be here to be honest. Rest in Peace is great but it's a sideboard card, I'd also argue Ephemerate probably shouldnt be here either to be honest, maybe even Esper Sentinel
This is probably the best list I've seen on the channel so far. The ordering isn't 100% how I'd put it, but close enough, and the only card I think still deserves a mention is Deafening Silence. Unlike Rest in Peace, which is often worse than Leyline of the Void even in a deck that can cast RIP, Deafening Silence is the best absolute silver bullet to stop so many unfair decks dead in their tracks, and at just 1 mana, there's nothing else that can really claim to stand up beside it.
99% sure her name is pronounced ThaH-lia, not ThaY-lia since it is just Talia with an TH sound instead of a T sound (unless u have a thick French accent) but it seems like u realized that by the last 2 times u said her name since suddenly u said it right
we have wildly different definition of word broken. you give cards that gives you value tittle broken when i think things that kill you out nowhere are broken to me. never have i lost because i didnt have one to pay esper sentinel after they top deck it but 1000 times to Righteous Valkyrie top deck that gained 25 life and pumped the rest of the team to hit me like a 50. also you cant say ephemerate is broken because of solitude and then not put that card on the list. as a control player that uses boardwipes those creatures outside thalia are just 1 power cratures that die to them. and just because modern decks dont play boardwipes (well most of them) you think those cards on your list are broken. sigarda's aid is way more broken card in hammer deck than sentinel. there would not be hammer deck without that effect but there was hammer deck before esper sentinel. one mana to cheat 8 mana at instan speed thats broken
Remember do your own research. There is more single mana exile effects then swords and path. They are just the least conditioned. There is more cheap interaction out there!
Don’t know about yall but sevinne’s reclamation, luminarch aspirant, white plumb adventure should def be on here cathar commando, march of endless joy and citizens crowbar i put in every white deck. Artifact/enchantment removal is so important and not running it can be the difference between a match.
I get that this list is mostly focused on sanctioned constructed formats, but I still feel like Teferi's Protection and Angel's Grace are great mentions. Teferi's Protection is an all star in EDH saving both you and your board for an entire turn cycle, and Angel's Grace literally says "You can't lost the game this turn." at spell speed 4 for just one W.
Im surprised white plume adventurer didnt make the mentions since it being a 3 drop w/ initiative almost warped all of legacy and some degree vintage which cause a ban in the prior format
Ah, balance. The card with easily the most ironic name in the game
indestructible aura may have balance beat

99% sure her name is pronounced ThaH-lia, not ThaY-lia since it is just Talia with an TH sound instead of a T sound (unless u have a thick French accent) but it seems like u realized that by the last 2 times u said her name since suddenly u said it right
we have wildly different definition of word broken. you give cards that gives you value tittle broken when i think things that kill you out nowhere are broken to me. never have i lost because i didnt have one to pay esper sentinel after they top deck it but 1000 times to Righteous Valkyrie top deck that gained 25 life and pumped the rest of the team to hit me like a 50. also you cant say ephemerate is broken because of solitude and then not put that card on the list. as a control player that uses boardwipes those creatures outside thalia are just 1 power cratures that die to them. and just because modern decks dont play boardwipes (well most of them) you think those cards on your list are broken. sigarda's aid is way more broken card in hammer deck than sentinel. there would not be hammer deck without that effect but there was hammer deck before esper sentinel. one mana to cheat 8 mana at instan speed thats broken
Remember do your own research. There is more single mana exile effects then swords and path. They are just the least conditioned. There is more cheap interaction out there!
mana tithe. the counter hook that opponenets never saw coming. worthy contender for top 10 imo.
Don’t know about yall but sevinne’s reclamation, luminarch aspirant, white plumb adventure should def be on here cathar commando, march of endless joy and citizens crowbar i put in every white deck. Artifact/enchantment removal is so important and not running it can be the difference between a match.
I'm going to say it as it is: white needs more cards that do stuff without being unnecessarily conditional.
Just do good things, no buts, no ifs.
What Ive had swords to plowshares for years and never put it in one of my decks and I play mono white.. Giving an opponent any life is so bad what.
No mention of Armageddon? Land Tax? Shahrazad? Silence?
lol okay
I know those lists are just for fun, but prismatic ending ... while solitude is not on the list? Feels off.
I'll never forget the time when Brad Nelson scoffed at the notion of Monastery Mentor seeing play in older formats.
Academy rector is probably worth mentioning
White is the only way a player with no money can win against a rich player that spams legendary spells
Omg i hate i hate white magic cards :(
But i like this video 👍
No mention of any Elesh Norn? I guess some of them do need other cards to actually break
The rules of magic that protect the player is why the game is so broken.
I get that this list is mostly focused on sanctioned constructed formats, but I still feel like Teferi's Protection and Angel's Grace are great mentions. Teferi's Protection is an all star in EDH saving both you and your board for an entire turn cycle, and Angel's Grace literally says "You can't lost the game this turn." at spell speed 4 for just one W.
Rather disappointing list when you compare it to the other colors, even colorless.
I need suggestions for mono white tribal angel deck.
Stoneforge Mystic to Kaldra Compleat
The omission of Land Tax from this least is a pretty grave error.
Alternate title: Top 10 Most Versatile White Cards of All Time
Its funny that Monastary Mentor is currently in standard is sees zero play and on this list
It's a crime that Teferi's Protection is not on this list. A crime I say!
There are other formats besides commander
@@assault410 nah
Teferi's protection, be like. Huh????
Hirumdx, I know this voice from Wow 💯
How do you pronounce Jitte right but Thalia wrong?
Is the famous WoW UA-camr sounds just like him
Im surprised white plume adventurer didnt make the mentions since it being a 3 drop w/ initiative almost warped all of legacy and some degree vintage which cause a ban in the prior format
It did make the mentions; it was just at the very end of the video lmao
Armageddon and Avacyn being ignored is weird
