    I have a non meme video idea. The Top 10 Colorless Non-Artifact Cards.

  • @memyself3510

    2 notes: first, underworld connections *made* black devotion. It was secretly the best card in the deck, and the deck wouldn’t have been anywhere close to as good without it. And the 2nd is that animate dead can hit any player’s graveyard, which is part of what makes it so good

    • @StevenRiseNYC
      @StevenRiseNYC 9 днів тому +4

      I would argue that Gary made mono black devotion. the deck had plenty of ways to gain advantage, but being able to drop a gary and drain yourself back into the game or even a win is what made the deck

    • @davidlundquist1979
      @davidlundquist1979 7 днів тому +1

      Nah, Pack Rat is what made black devotion both virtually unbeatable, and also completely miserable to play against. Gray Merchant is the reason games actually ended, but Pack Rat was the all star.

      UW control, which was one of the other top decks at the time, did not care about either of those cards. Connections was the only card in the deck they were afraid of. Hell, I was playing GW aggro at the time and underworld connections was still one of the only cards in the deck that scared me

    I think your scoring system would greatly benefit from giving massive value for whenever a card is banned or restricted from a competitive constructed format due to power.
    Case in point, this list. If you give people the choice to start their deck with either 4x Leyline Of The Void or 4x Necropotence and the top prize is a boatload of money, no one would pick Leyline.

    Animate dead is so funny to me. Yugioh has Premature Burial which is essentially the same card but without nightmare rules text. The one time a Yugioh card is simpler than a Magic card

  • @ianh1504

    Dead weight, leyline of the void, necropotence, phyrexian arena, meathook massacre (but maybe it got banned too fast)

    I remember when Urza’s Saga released and Tolarian Academy decks with Time Spirals and Stroke of Genius to finish took over my area. I was laughing at the shock on my opponents faces when I pulled out an early Chains of Mephistopheles or Underworld Dreams and wrecked their plan to draw half their deck for the win.

    This was a fun video, as expected, but it does feel like The Abyss and Yawgmoth's Bargain should have gotten an honorable mention, even if they didn't have the points.

    Sort of meme video idea but "Top 10 Alchemy Cards". I know they're exclusive to Arena but it is sort of interesting to see how the digital-only capabilities gives them advantages and disadvantages that physical cards can't have.

      If an aura is put into play (not cast ! ) in any way you just attach it to a legal permanent/player without actually targeting the thing. Handy way to get around shroud, hexproof, ward and coo

    Technically, not all “Leylines” have that ability. The actual card Leyline from Prophecy does NOT have the Leyline text. 😂

    Ok, so I was gonna say Necropotence number one, but that normally goes against your "thumbnail normally isn't 1st place." thing you do so Leyline of the Void?

      As someone who played black devotion during that time, I will say this.
      Passively drawing cards is nice, but the one upside that connections had over arena was that you could choose when to use it. This helped greatly during match ups against aggressive strategies.
