[OT]Favorite Magic cards?

[gamecat]

What are your favorite magic cards? I'm back on my conversion project, and I'm out of ideas.


Edit - I hope you don't mind, Gamecat, if I popped an [OT] in the title. Just trying to keep tidy.

The Rat Bastard of all Black Creatures!

The Pit Fiend, and the Fallen Angel!


Swoop, Crunch, WTF?

 

[Zappo]

Hmm...

Lightning Bolt, Voltaic Key, Shivan Dragon, Force of Will, Tolarian Academy, Frankenstein Monster, the various en-Kor (though i never quite got why the "en" is in italics).

Another idea.

Pick a cool-looking creature. Ignore its power/toughness, abilities, and flavor text. Make up new D&D stats that fit the creature's picture. Presto - new monster. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Hey gamecat - drop me an email and we'll talk about me passing you a copy of my copyright infringement that is my old MtG to D&D3e conversion project.

Uuggghhh!!! Magic the Gathering! Blashpemy! Card Crack CCGs are the bane of role-playing! I've watched one to many players waste their life savings buying cards in order to keep up with the Jones. I was a Magic addict years ago, to but saw the error of my ways and since renounced the game.

Seriously, my favorite cards when I played (Which was over five years ago so I'm not familiiar with all these new sets) were: Baron Sengir, Polar Kraken, Craw Wyrm, and Craw Giant

Really, any of the summon Legend cards would make interesting NPCs (Maybe using the Epic Level Handbook for some).

I'm just surprised that people still play Magic, after all these years and after the fact that it's obvious that to continue playing you have to keep buying more and more cards (As more cards come out, older ones are declared invalid. I was shocked to learn half the cards I collected when I played years back were no longer declared "tournament legal".)

I used to play (and was quite good if I do say so myself). Some of my favorites. Sands of Time (nothing helps the metagame like driving your opponent to the brink of insanity when you start putting multiple one in play, that is of course before the 6th (?) ed. rule where tapped artifacts continued to function), Wrath of God became synonymous with my name (and with good reason I liked to use it a LOT), the Soldevi Digger, Birds of Paradise (It's a sight when as far as your opponent knows your playing a straight up red/green creatures beatdown deck and you plop down a stasis), and the Lhurgoyf.

I love cards that have an upside paired with a downside, but you can get around the downside with another card.

Favorites: Manabarbs, Bubble Matrix, Psychic Vortex, and Mesa Pegasus (nobody but nobody knows how to band like I do. I heard they changed the rules for banding, if so that's a shame)

 

[Reprisal]

So there *are* some left!

Heh,

I started playing Magic again when there was a lull in the number of books I wanted to grab in the beginning of this summer. It was nice, there was a relatively new block out, and I was able to get some metagame parity with the others who play.

I still play, and I even made some write-ups with stats on the major races in the newest block of sets: Odyssey, Torment, and Judgment (and Onslaught). I haven't done the Nantuko, but I've competed the Aven, the Cephalids, the Centaurs, and the Merfolk. They're... different from what they are in standard D&D.

Send me an e-mail, and I could send them to you if you want,

Juzam Djinn, baby!

How can you go wrong with that creature?
More pics here.
I love the Cyclopean Tomb, grinding away their precious lands to swamps.
Oh - is that a Karma on the board?
Ouch.... so sorry.
