Top 10 Most Broken Green Cards of All Time 

You missed the real best green card Colossal Dreadmaw.

Honorable mention to Deathrite Shaman for being a one-mana planeswalker.

Many years back, I had a pal who bought a Black Lotus just so he could try to pull off the infamous Channel Fireball turn one kill. After many failed attempts, during a match with me, he finally got the combo and a massive grin spread across his face. He sacked the Lotus for three green Mana, cast Channel and spent 19 life, tapped his Mountain, stood up and threw the Fireball onto the table saying something like "There it is! Boom baby, BOOM!". The problem was that I had gone first and had one Plains in play. I calmly tapped my Plains . . . and cast Heal. Heal prevents one measly point of damage. This is a card that no one plays, but I liked it since it replaced itself at the beginning of the next upkeep. We were both at one life. I ended up winning that game. Poor guy was livid. He sold the Black Lotus a few days later.

It's fastBOND, not fastBOUND

I remember a multiplayer game (this was years before commander) that included a guy that refused to accept Fastbond had any errata or rulings and only the printed text on the card. He claimed that by itself it let him play Stripmine from his graveyard every turn, including his opponent's turns. We responded by refusing to accept he was still in the game.

There are also infinite combos you could do with Fastbond. For example, with "Oboro, Palace in the Clouds", and a Ruin Crab, you can mill the opponent equal to three times your life, which is often enough to win the game.

What's a fastbound?

Really surprised to not see tarmogoyf, considered for a long time to be the best creature in the game...

Damn! This is the second time that you guys have pulled the Summer Magic version of a card for a video. That Fastbond was from Summer Magic, as was a Contract From Below on a prior video! Those are the most rare version (by a mile) of those cards! It is interesting to see them!

I get mispronouncing crazy fantasy names, but when a card's name is made up of just 2 basic words like "Fast" and "Bond," how can you mess that up? 😂

you missed a quite powerful library

Gotta say one of my all time favorite green cards of all time is Craterhoof Behemoth, I remember years ago when I saw it in action I was determined to have it. Still use it when I can

Birthing Pod was banned years before the Devoted Druid combo was a thing. It was banned because it restricted future creature design and was the most played deck. It would be fair It stayed ban because of combos like Devoted Druid

Before watching, some cards I expect to be on the list: The Great Henge and Questing Beast.

The name's bound...fast bound...I thought "Jaumes" was too weird so I had my first name legally changed.

The artwork of 'Once Upon A Time' is so beautiful!

Expected channel over fastbond, interesting choice

You misunderstood the reason Survival Of The Fittest is powerful. If you have Survival in play with 3 green mana, and have Vengevine in hand, you can discard the Vengevine to grab a second Vengevine. Discard that to grab a Rootwalla. Discard that (and casting it) to grab a Hollow One. Then cast Hollow One for free, getting back two Vengevines. This gives you a total of 13 power. And for each extra green mana you have to spare, you can get an extra Vengevine.

Brother the way you pronounce fastbond was making my eye twitch. Jokes aside. Love the content. Keep it up my dude!

nice list. i would try 1 also without banned cards to. cause could then c cards like Tarmogoyf and whats considered fair play atleast now

Waiiiiit arent you the duellogs guy? I remembered you making a video where you reviewed magic cards and you didnt knew anything about the game. I am happy that you seem to like the game.

An alarming number of these are two drops from Tempest block....

i would love to see a top10 fun cards to play that flooped in competitive

I remember the different art for Channel and Fireball cards 😂the old man raising his hands and a giant yellow ball.

Predictions: Pod. Zenith. Once Upon a Time. And a bunch of stuff from before my time like Channel.

People arguing Protean Hulk being the problem over Flash don't understand the concept of banning cards. Flash is the enabler. As long as it's around, all cards have to be designed with it in mind and designed around it. Thus it's better to ban that card. It's the same logic behind another banned card that was probably close to making this list, Green Sun's Zenith.

I played the old Channel-Fireball deck back around 4th addition. I was today years old when I fully grokked the Channel Fireball store name. I played that cheat deck within 10 miles of the store.

Amazing!!!!

Fastbond and Channel are so busted, a friend of mine has a deck that's just Rat Turbo. Turn one he'll use cards to get out Thrumming Stone and then Relentless Rats to just flood his board with 20+ rats, and those two are key parts of the combo. I've even seen him win ON turn 1 by doing that, then dropping a Biorhythm before anyone else even got a turn. Most people didn't want to play against him after that.

i would also suggest title to be mono green. cause u could put an argument for a multicolored green card like deathrite shaman to be on this list

Love the list, but it's really weird to see a strongest Green card list that doesn't have Primeval Titan or Sylvan Library

Y do u keep saying "Fastbound" when the card is called "Fastbond" like "James Bond"?

"fastbound"

Eureka not making the list, sad :(

One day I will get that Survival of the Fittest foil.

Ok but my favorite part about your videos is listening to how you mispronounce everything so eloquently like lol fastbound was too funny

FastBOND! BOND! Not BOUND! Just read it!

earthcraft & grave troll should switch positions & food chain blows birthing pod away. i'm glad you recognized Channel & fastbond. when i saw the title i was totally ready to say anyone who doesn't know about Channels power doesn't know anything about m:tg

I think it is a waste not to mention Protean Hulk had a turn zero win deck so your opponent would not even start their first turn before they died and that was when they were to play first.

Apex devastator is an honorable mention!

'Vigor' is a real piece of work also

No Veil of Summer? :D Cards I would have considered are Natural Order, Scapeshift, Crop Rotation, Life from the Loam, Green Sun's Zenith, Collector Ouphe and Argothian Enchantress.

As a legacy player, definitely don’t unban flash. Protean hulk is pretty balanced and flash is just the broken enabler.

Floral Spuzzem is self aware. Now THAT’S power.

I really wanna see a failed mechanic with the Mutate stuff

Dude. Fast BOND. not bound. What the hell is happening?

new drinking game, take a shot everytime he spells fastbond as fastBOUND

Natural Order and Tooth and Nail, at least in EDH, are the two most broken green cards.

Omnath Locus of mana is my personal favorite

08:47 I always thought Jason Momoa would be a Blue Card

Suggestion: you should give points for when cards got banned.

When a 2 card infinite combo is only #9 on the list.

Honorable mention to Tarmogoyf.

How much mana does it take to pass customs

Rofellos has seen a LOT of play

Special mention: Fog (xV)

Just that life from the loam is the only dredge card that is played for it's intended purpose

Flash is busted in many other ways - since etbs can be so strong - one simple use would be using it with something like woodfall primus destroys two permanents for 2 mana or a primeval titan. Meanwhile protean hulk is pretty useless if flash is banned. It's easier to ban flash rather than rebalance every ETB if flash is in the game

Fastbond with landfall ability that give you life when a land enter the battle like grazing gladeheart give you infinite life and infite mana.

What about Seedborn Muse?

What about best vanilla ice cream cards?

This list is...interesting, but I would not say it's all that good. There are several omissions that stand out to me, such as Green Sun's Zenith, Glimpse of Nature, Sylvan Library, Worldly Tutor, Eureka, Hypergenesis, and Natural Order. Even Crop Rotation, or Beast Within which are deceptively powerful for how simple they are, would make for reasonable inclusions.

Vivian on the Hunt sort of does the same thing as Birthing Pod, except she’s more expensive to cast outright. Love the idea though: makes the Consuming Blob ooze deck more fun :P

You never showed the card Fast-Bound though!

I thought for sure Biorhythm would make it on this list.

Great henge and sylvan library should have been #1and#2

I’ve never heard of fastBOUND

I think the strongest green card is the one that allows you to make a new life in another country. >.>

Channel is good with emrakul to you need 4 mana plus 19 life 2 green for channel 1 colorless mana for 1 damage and one red for fireball you need to spend minimum 2 for 1 damage and pay 19 life point for the reste of damage.

The great henge should have definitely been on here

Once upon a time can be played on the first turn of the entire game, even when that turn is not yours.

Its obviously the chibaku tensei...just Turn your opponent city into a giant rock and then throw it at him like if it was a tengai shinsei

liked!!!

Top 10 rule changes. 4 copy limit Mana burn Legends ruling That sort of thing.

Earthcraft isn't legal in legacy, but it should be. People have wanted that card unbanned for over a decade and somehow it's still banned.

What?! No Eternal Witness? Lol im sure if this video was made 10 years ago Tarmogoyf would've made the cut. EWit is just my favorite creature ever printed. Being serious though, Glimpse of Nature should probably be on this list somewhere

no crop rotation?

You forgot forest. That card is so busted, zero mana for a land that can tap for green? That’s busted!

Birthing Pod is an interesting card, since it is legal in Legacy & Vintage.... It isn't played. Too powerful for Modern, too weak for Legacy? Or can we unban it so it will be played? You're incorrect why it was banned. It was used for getting Melira and Kitchen Finks. The Devoted Druid combo didn't even exist after Pod was banned. At 2:04 the text says that Legacy banned card Earthcraft is legal in said format. Another mistake.

The number of times he mispronounced FastBOND is astounding!

I prefer to sacrifice protean hulk to search for 4 disciple of the vault and 12 X costed artifact creatures

Birthing pod reads duel masters blueprint card

GoN, Sylvan Library??

Bound. James Bound.

surprised to see greater good or elvish piper absent here

I think you missed Food Chain in your list

I prefer the white Oath out of that cycle. Horribly underused.

Birting Pods 😊

Idk what fastbound is... But fastbond should have been on here!

No Glimpse of Nature?

Why do you say fast bound?

Once upon a time is a better inpulse in green yes dont put a card of your choice but free or two mana for 1 more card than impulse is relevant.

Before watching, im hoping I see Great Henge, Sylvan Library, and Birthing Pod. Edit: Welp, I got one right at least

Where’s my boi rampaging badger

Channel should be ranked 1 below Fastbond Golgari Grave-Troll is stronger than both of them. It presents threats faster (fewer resources required in starting hand) and it was such a consistent deck off of Serum Powder that you only needed Bazaar to go off. It went manaless and the creatures it attacked with were often as not Bridge tokens not proper creature cards. Dredge was mainly on Green cards like Life from the Loam Shambling Shell and Grave-Troll and allowed you to reject all Green ways of doing things possibly as much as or more than Channel. And Dredge could beat Channel-Fireball. Was there another 0 cost Green card besides Grave-Troll? I don't think so. Force of Vigor? Endurance? Summoner's Pact? Hypergenesis? These are all good or banned in Modern and last I heard they don't make it in Legacy/Vintage quite the same way. Wait. Not Invigorate. Mutagenic Growth? Anyway. Survival of the Fittest and Hermit Druid are genuinely worth 2 mana. Oath of Druids makes the list too. And Protean Hulk. Birthing Pod is a turn 2 play even in Modern and easily turn 1 in Legacy its absurd. I do not know the combos for Earthcraft and I don't think OUAT being better than Worldly Tutor is good enough for this list. 10 Birthing Pod 9 Sylvan Library 8 Protean Hulk 7 Oath of Druids 6 Natural Selection 5 Hermit Druid 4 Survival of the Fittest 3 Channel 2 Fastbond 1 Golgari Grave-Troll

Am I the only one that got aggravated by him saying Fastbound and not Fastbond?

Weird no oko; but that is simic maybe cause of that

YES

"Fastbond" not "Fastbound"

lol at channel death shadow, channel fireball is still the best thing you can do with channel, specially with the green shoal.
