Top 10 Best Cats of All Time in MTG 

Especially with a cmc of 3

About a 2 cards a year, these days, are making a big play in vintage. Some of these are from modern horizons, but some are just powerful in that format, and pretty much only that format. Paradoxical outcome spawned a new storm deck. Lavania made hatebears more than playable Underworld breach put a 2 card combo into your control deck (with brainfreeze) Once upon a time is great in dredge decks, where everything you want is a land or creature Loran of the third path, archon of emeria, anointed peacekeeper, eiganjo are all in initiative decks Patchwork automaton, Golos, Karn the Great Creator, mystic forge, and "The Mightstone and the Meekstone" are both played in artifact decks Karn is often played in a lot of decks, tbh. Third Path Iconoclast, dreadhord arcanist, and expressive iteration are played in jeskai midrange decks Omnath jellybean is good in sultai midrange, along with oko. The list goes on, but vintage is full of pioneer legal cards. Looking at the 50 cards restricted in vintage, 6 are in pioneer sets. This is compared to the power 9. Most are old school cards, with a handful between 2003 and 2014.

Yeah

Who's Ajani?

@@Prince_Eva_Huepow buff lion man

Ajani doesn’t have a creature card

@@chaosbuster1275 Ajanji Goldmane is

Does Muffin have any graveyard synergies or ETB effects?

@@salvatoredantonio2413 when entering the battle field she gets a +1/+1 for every food token in your graveyard.

​@@joebaumgart1146 I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news...but Muffin has been banned in the Standard, Vintage and Pioneer formats.

If you are new to Magic and notice a card is good, it will probably be banned. Cards with ugly drawbacks that new players don't like are often really good. Cards with no drawback and all upside for easy mana costs are BUSTED.

what made lurrus super duper busted was that companion was like bringing commander into 60 card formats a free 8th card in hand before the companion errata and when you can just do the companion thing for little cost (lurrus being a free roll in a lot of formats) of course not all the companions are busted but companion was a poorly thought out mechanic

People who point out these little things for no reason just annoy me. Be. Quiet.

@@anannoyedpanda this time I did it because other people who see it now won't feel the need to comment similarly, and this way the one comment won't have any negativity in it. That was until you chimed in anyway.

@@anannoyedpanda "little things for no reason" Ever heard of feedback?

@@anannoyedpanda "For no reason" Please think about what you write before making a comment next time.

I never knew about WoW, I only knew about Yugioh, he even started making Pokémon TCG content too lmao

Bro I knew he sounded familiar…

The small kitten next to Lurrus is also just precious

@@1ryb360 You're damn right

There's probably something that combos with it. You can't return the same creature card you discard in a single activation, but if you have a creature in hand and one in GY, you can repeat as many times as you have the mana. Given when it was first printed, I'm sure it was originally designed as a way to get a creature back while also discarding a creature that has Madness.

If I remember though, he has been friends with hardleg for a while. I don't know if he yet has an in for the magic community. Also, I think he kinda did his original yugioh channel, and subsequently this magic channel, as a bit of an inversion of how nizzahon does it. While nizza is great, his commentary is not the best if you don't have some knowledge of the game, as opposed to mana logs, who is a bit more new player friendly. That said, I agree having nizza would be cool. I would suggest one of the spike feeders, such as Jim. While he goes over combos of varying difficulty in his better onow a combo series, he is usually good at keeping explanations simplified for all viewing audiences

What's the difference?

Maybe in lower power level formats. In vintage you would still get Black Lotus or a moxen back for free. Not to mention that 1 or 2 mana isn't hard to pay past turn 3.

@@fernandobanda5734 escape makes you exile the card when it leaves the field

@@lollojojjo6612 No, it doesn't... You're thinking of flashback/unearth.

@@fernandobanda5734 oh, my bad

The thing about most of the cards you mentioned is a lot of them only really see play in commander, especially cat based decks. Most of these don’t have the historic impact the ones Mr. Logs mentioned. I wish he’d said Savannah lions for the og magic player meme but the list is pretty solid

@@fosterdawson7339 Lion Sash in particular is played competitively

That very same video addressed what you said

Life gain by itself is a failed mechanic. Slapping it onto an actual effect and adding a card like pridemate makes a big difference.

@@fernandobanda5734 no it didn't. It was 20 minutes of why it's a terrible mechanic and ignored every competitive deck in every format.

@@xXSamir44Xx This guy gets it. I'm not saying life gain on it's own is useful, but there are ways to weaponize it and those ways have made an impact on more than just one format.

@@TheyCallHimPogo They DID mention when and how life gain has mattered competitively, from incidental life gain being good especially against aggro to full-blown life gain combo decks. Whether that disqualifies it from being a "failed mechanic" or if the title was just clickbait is another matter, but unless we saw two different videos, it was all there.

Shark Typhoon is indeed a card, from Ikoria (early 2020). So I assume it was printed after those movies. It's a 5U enchantment with Cycling X1U, and effects "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, create an X/X blue shark creature token with flying, where X is the that spell's mana value" and "When you cycle Shark Typhoon, create an X/X blue shark creature token with flying."

Yes, definitly inspired on the movies XD. Funny thing is that is a legit card that see compettive play lol.

On the contrary, it was very much inspired by Sharknado. Ikoria referenced popular monster media in general.

The fact it made Black Lotus gain +3 mana AND get a free cat in Vintage is terrifying.
