Laughing at Spellskite's flavor text saying "progress doesn't always need teeth or claws" despite it clearly having both those things in the art.

@LazyJesse 3 года назад

I guess, although it has spider legs more than claws.

@elquemanda4329 3 года назад

Yeah but it's a 0/4, so a 1/1 Squirrel token has sharper teeth and claws than it.

@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor 3 года назад

Honestly, I need to take the moment to say I am so glad that they updated a bunch of these cards to "Phyrexian", and did it by just adding creature types, not taking away. I think that's what made this "Grand Creature Type Update" good compared to the last one. Anyway, in honour of this list having plenty of Vintage points, I have personally resurrected Yawgmoth in order to make sure that someone makes "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!

@corey2232 3 года назад

I honestly know almost nothing about the Modern meta, as I haven't played since the year the format came out. But the only card I could think would be #1 was Spellskite, and that's without even realizing how popular it was in that format. I just assumed it was a great sideboard card like it was in Standard, but not THAT great. I know a lot of people talk about how broken Phyrexian mana was, but man I loved it. Everything from the specific cards to the flavor behind it, Phyrexian mana (and to a lesser extent, Infect) both felt so fitting for Scars block.

@FoxMcCloudV2 3 года назад

Typing this during the opening spiel: I guess that Number 1 is going to be Batterskull. Edit: It's number TWO?! I stand corrected.

@@reggietheanarchistrat8805 Obliterator was fucking dogshit, man, it's been in like two top eights in the entire history of the game. No deck that was competitive in weaker formats could afford to run a manabase that would allow for 4 black pips on turn 4, and no deck that was competitive in actual formats gave a fuck about the thing because it's not that strong.

@09Dragonite 3 года назад

Spellskite is funny here because lately it has fallen out of favor among sideboards in my local meta as well as in online play content. Someone once explained to me why it has been seeing so much less play, but I really can't recall the entire explanation. I think it has to do with the meta outpacing its ability and Soul Scar Mage just ignoring the card altogether by making burn spells more efficient in the long game. It also gets dunked on by Heliod Ballista and Yawgmoth Messenger combos because Spellskite either triggers the lifelink/counter ability or it is an illegal target. There is definitely more to it than that, but I do appreciate that it still turns off Niv Mizzet combos in EDH 😅

@Zamerux 3 года назад

I've also seen blightsteel collosus in modern experimenter/transmogrify decks as their card to cheat out. If you don't have path of exile or something, it's very backbreaking

@colinbrown5646 3 года назад

You can really see the surprising innate power of the Phyrexian creature type now that its been added. If good tribal support is added, Phyrexians could be a surprisingly powerful tribe.

@xaldrortenderofthevats8948 Год назад

@gantzisballs 3 года назад

The most hilariously overpriced Phyrexian goes to our lord the Obliterator. It goes for 30 dollars a pop despite being reprinted twice, not being legal in standard or pioneer, being played in under 1 percent of the modern meta, and you can't make him your commander. Obliterator costs the same as an entire play set of skyclave apparitions solely because Timmy wants to play him on the kitchen table. Unlike say Siege Rhino that absolutely dominated its standard, the obliterator's greatest ever showing was the first month it was legal in Historic because new players kept failing to read the text and attacking into it! Siege Rhino is 20 cents and it's still a better card than obliterator ever was.

@@Coreyseyes11 I think it'd be awesome. You just know WotC would never fully kill off either of their 2 most popular big bad races. The only thing I worry about is where they would go from there. Phyrexians & Eldrazi are both pretty much unstoppable forces as they are, combine their powers into a new super being & then what? Pretty much makes all other villains obsolete, and if you make a set where everyone teams up to defeat them, everything afterward would feel underwhelming. But I'm still with you despite my reservations. Pure curiosity alone makes me want to see it :)
