It should be noted that Fountain of Renewal costs 1 mana, is colorless, gives 1 life every turn regardless of your current life total, and when you don't need the life anymore, you can sacrifice it to draw a card. It's an upgrade to Convalescence is every conceivable way.

@michaelturner2806 Год назад

Pale Moon also has hidden timing restrictions to be useful. If you tried casting it on your opponent's main phase, they can simply tap their nonbasics for mana as usual while the spell is still on the stack. You could at least lock them out of using it for creatures and other things at sorcery speed by casting it on their upkeep?

@littlel9906 Год назад

Tower of Coireall reminds me of something that Resleevebles pointed out recently, which is that there were a pretty absurd number of walls in ABU. I think they genuinely did believe that most decks would be like 50% creatures that could attack and 50% walls on defense or something

@JD-gk7eh Год назад

If you think about it, in ABU, there's only a few ways to kill creatures: Swords to Plowshares, Terror, and Lightning Bolt. Bolt can't kill Walls because they're too big. Getting your creatures through big walls was a lot harder in the early days and the game was so much slower that you could afford to have cards just dedicated to defense--again, removal is not great and not abundant, so having walls is a reasonable way to deal with creatures. Oh, and almost no creatures do anything but attack as ETBs were not a thing until Visions in 1997 and creatures with static abilities were also pretty rare. So all they did was attack. And walls blocked them. As creatures started to do more and more, then Walls really started to suck.

@Clonekiller66 Год назад

@tym6217 Год назад

A more interesting design for Mogg Squad would've been if it said it got -1/-1 only for each creature your *opponent* controlled. That would still make it trash by today's standards, but back then it could've had some interesting utility as an efficient aggressive creature against control decks that often don't run many low to the ground creatures. Ultimately probably still wouldn't have been amazing, but that design would've at least been far more interesting.

@ShaqPlaque Год назад

Or -1/-1 only for you creatures. Then it could have been an efficient two-drop to run as your only actual creatures in some sort of counter-burn deck. It would be of its time in power level, but fine.

@tym6217 Год назад

@@ShaqPlaque that design would make more sense if it were blue or something for a more controlling color. The fact it's red I think my more aggressive design makes more sense imo.

@LadyBernkastel92 Год назад

I spent a long time really wanting to make Break Open work, and the best I could do was: Play Akroma, harmless offering her, break her open and then use brand to get her back. This costs the same amount of mana as just playing her and morphing her but it costs 3 cards. good times.

@tylerowens Год назад

The one thing I will say about Break Open is that a decent chunk of morph cards have specific times when flipping them over is good. Like if I recall correctly there is one that is a spell pierce kind of effect when it is turned over. Letting you flip your opponents morphs yes does in most cases make them bigger and does mean that you are spending mana for them, but there are real situations where flipping a morph on your terms basically fizzles the "when this is turned face up" ability. And beyond that another good chunk of morph cards' usefulness is the "do I block and get blown out when they flip it or do I not block and get blown out when they flip it" factor. Flipping it outside of combat so you can see what is attacking/available to block is useful information. Is it a good card? No. Absolutely not. But I'm not necessarily sold on it being the worst.

@cax1175 Год назад

Nizzahon would play Foundry Inspector, Jhoira's Familiar, Urza's Incubator (Naming Dragon), Ugin the Ineffable, and Herald's Horn (Naming Dragon) to reduce the cost of casting Colorless Artifact Dragons by 7, to be able to put Teeka's Dragon on this list.

@Paulthored Год назад

@michaellee4276 Год назад

Pale Moon is also terrible because it targets mana abilities, which can't be altered on demand. So you have to predict that your opponent will need that specific color this turn and play it during a previous phase. If it was retroactive to the beginning of the turn it might be nice. (Like when they tap a dual for U, you say sorry, that's colorless. Or better yet, they announce a spell and you say, sorry you don't have enough blue mana, put it back in your hand). But I don't think Magic rules have ever allowed for that capacity.

@brendandidycz5480 Год назад

It's funny though that Throne of Geth is exactly the card you described to improve Parallax Inhibitor. Not to mention, it can sac other things besides itself.

@llongone2 Год назад

Back in the day, I actually played Convalescence. It brought you back from the brink when you stabilized against aggro/burn, no more mana investment - just gives you life each turn once in play - and opponents rarely bothered to remove it.

@StarkMaximum Год назад

Ahh yes, pulling you back from the brink against aggro. With exactly one life point at a time, up to ten life. Aggro and burn have never been able to kill anyone from ten life before!

@zarator7429 Год назад

@RocketVamp Год назад

Hey, a top 10 where I already have most the cards. Now we just need a Top 10 Craw Wurms. Back in the day I tried to get the most out of my single copy of Deep Water.

@magicsinglez Год назад

I’ve seen people play ‘Convalescence’. I can’t remember what they were doing, but Sligh/mono-red aggro/burn were quite popular around the time of the Exodus set.

@Nopenotyou Год назад

If memory serves, Pale Moon came out when Extended decks running a ton of OG duals was a thing, so it could serve as a sideboard card against, say, Slivers by hosing a key turn by casting it during their upkeep. Obviously those days are long gone.

@henriquegoncalves6503 Год назад

@soggytoast111 Год назад

I remeber Steamclaw showing up in sideboards of either Standard or Block Constructed. Sure the cost is horrible by today's standard, but at the time there was no colorless replacement for dealing with something like Flashback Roar of the Wurm and Wonder.

@y0_jimb0 Год назад

I wonder if thge fact that Break Open exists has affected the design of newer mechanics that might have otherwise involved face down creatures, separate from morph. Or if there is anyone in Magic R&D who is pushing for such a mechanic so that Break Open actually has a use and could get a reprint.

@Mechsrule1 Год назад

I could see Root Cage being sort of useful if you also had a way to perpetually make your opponents have mercenaries by giving them all creature types. But there are way better ways to achieve that so its only 'sort' of useful.

It's a 1/1 for 1G that taps for G but also has "1: Add R or W" which basically lets you spend any mana as though it were red or white and that's actually very useful.

If there was a quick blurb about what the card does in audio, like "At number 10 is Mogg Squad, a 3/3 goblin that costs 1 and 1 red and gets - 1/-1 for each other creature in play" then continue with why it's terrible, I'd listen to these videos more.

@JervisGermane Месяц назад

I actually drafted a Steam Claw at an Odyssey prerelease. It would have been better if it had been an artifact creature, but it wasn't a dead card either. Root Cage, on the other hand, wasn't even good in Prophecy draft, since Prophecy had the fewest mercenaries of the bunch, and it can't be used with Shields of Velis Vel or Unnatural Selection because those effects can't be played until after the creatures are already untapped. The only practical way to make Root Cage work is to also have an Artificial Evolution to change the creature type if affects. And even then, there are better options.

@IzzysIssues Год назад

Parallax Inhibitor inspires me to try and build SOMETHING with it in EDH

@rajamicitrenti1374 Год назад

The idea of Break Open was probably that you could flip the card face up to cause the flip effect happen at a less than ideal time for your opponent. Bit since the card is face down, you have no idea before you cast it what effect, if any, the face-down creature gives when it is flipped face up, so you can't know if it will matter.

@StarkMaximum Год назад

What you think will happen: Haha! I'll flip this card to activate their effect before they're ready, like a Willbender! What will actually happen: Oh, okay, I guess I'll just kill your creature now instead of at your end step. And also for free. And also discard a card from your hand because you had to use Break Open.

@TheCubicalGuy Год назад

Pale moon is kinda hilarious because if it was an enchantment it would be insanely good.

@hiimemily Год назад

Break Open is absolutely the worst card in the game. Not only is morph uncommon to begin with, not only are there only 79 cards with a "when this is turned face up" effect, but the only one that truly screws its controller over is Unstable Hulk, which makes them skip their next turn. One card out of 24,591 ever printed in non-acorn. This card only really counters exactly _one_ card that no one ever plays. What a wonderful piece of cardboard.

I use mog Squad in my revenge death deck which deals damage to my opponent anytime a creature enters my graveyard. Dealing damage equal to the creatures base power. It's a niche use, and a gamble, but it's fun none the less. It's a black red deck that primarily recycles monsters over and over again so I really just need to pay the base cost of the card once. I initially thought to spam regerate it. But unfortunately that's not how the effect works sadly lol. I do still spam tf out of deathtouch+ first strike, combined with lopsided creatures (like a 5/1 black crypt keeper weird) to ensure a kill and flat damage to either my opponent, their planes walker, or one of their creatures.

"Break Open" might be the worst 2 mana card on this list but at least the flavor text is actually top tier.

Mercenaries are terrible, but I REALLY wanted Cataran Overlord to be good as a kid because the art is so cool!

@NizzahonMagic Год назад

Same

Balm does have funky but cool art though 😊

@NizzahonMagic Год назад

Lots of these have good art! So at least they have that going for it.

"Even as an enchantment [Pale Moon] wouldn't be an impressive card." I don't know how you can say that. It would be comparable to Blood Moon and even stronger in some ways.

Poor Steamclaw. That art is pretty cool.

My boy squire isn't looking so bad

I swear I've seen several worst lists where Nizzahon dunks on Break Open repeatedly. Not undeservedly, obviously.

the only upside of break open would be if your opponent is using "manifest" creatures and even then its gambling

@RasmusVJS Год назад

Even then, it is worse than actual removal cards like Shock.
