Top 5 Black Cards 

I was convinced that Demonic Tutor should be on the ranking. You reached top 2, and no Demonic Tutor appearance... I checked out the honorable mentions.... and again no Demonic Tutor. My heart said to me: It will be the top 1, it can't be out of this video.... And you guys made my heart happy. Thank you.

Why are the elemental incarnations missing? In scam they are so good.

good to see dark ritual on the honorable mentions list, was surprised it didn't make the top 5 tho, i have it at #1

BEWARE - CARDMARKETS TICKETING CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICE IS A SCAM. IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY CREATE OR REGISTER ANY ISSUE YOU MAY HAVE.IF YOU GET SCAMMED BY A SELLER THEY DONT GIVE A SHIT.

I assume they wanted not to use the most obvious ones. Then again, Reanimate isn't exactly unknown either.

Reanimate is 100% a busted card. You can reanimate an Emrakul turn 1 and swing with haste assuming you have a haste enabler.​@@beanofknowledge2125

Dark Ritual is really nuts.

@@beanofknowledge2125 ritual is the obvious #3. More iconic than YW and more longevity across more formats than Bowmasters. Enables so many different archetypes and playstyles from storm to midrange to aggro. Would still put Thoughtseize and DT over it. Maybe Reanimate and Necropotence as 4 & 5.

Came to the comments to say the same thing

For whatever reason, it's not a black card. We can make it one with Painter's Servant.

It is a black card, judging by the name.

you realise bowmasters are better than sheoldred, right? You are not retarded, right?

I mean fair but how do you rate that card with the ante I don't think it is fair to include it

That was broken on Shandalar. I basically made a deck consisting of Contracts from below, Black Lotus/Dark ritual and Hypnotic Specters. Turn one play a bunch of hypnotics and win.

same!

Same here

The thing with necro is if you just play it out on t3. You probably die before you can use the cards you draw with it. It's really as good as the rituals are in the format

There is a better, banned necro - Yawgmoths bargain

@@jirkau555 Necro is restricted in Vintage while Yawgmoth’s Bargain isn’t. 3 mana is a big difference.

another version: "this co&% isn't limp, it's flexible and that makes it powerful"

Say goodbye to your Welder

You no longer have a Delver

* _Merrily jaunts across your path while slinging Blades willy-nilly, like some sort of morbidly gleeful flower girl._ *

i think you're only limited to 4 doomblades in your deck

To be fair, this should have been the list in my opinion too. But I guess they had a equally hard time deciding aswell.

i would've switch out thoughtseize for yawgmoth's will, and changed the order

Seconded. Or even Cabal Therapy.

@@Reuben.Aotearoa best discard is hymn, for me. thoughtseize is second

My brain went to Grief but that's more situationally busted than Thoughtseize.

Hymn is better in discard decks, but Thoughtsieze is more versatile. It can ruin your opponent combo deck, or make he looses the only answer to your deck.

I was expecting mind twist

Balance, White Plume Adventurer, Swords to Plowshares, Solitude, Stoneforge Mystic.

@@JohnFromAccountingcompared to black cards it’s just sad

Bargain isn't the card it used to be.

They're in the honorable mentions. Honestly, there's a pretty obvious top 10 for black cards, but dividing 1-5 from 6-10 is difficult, so I can't blame them

@@JohnFromAccounting Bargain is absolutely still the card it used to be if you have ever played no ban list in any of the formats where it would be legal including legacy. Its just that it is banned in all of those and you only have it available in vintage. If you can turbo it out it usually just wins the game

@@muditjohar5323 I play legacy and vintage. Bargain is unplayable in vintage. It would see a bit of play in legacy, but you can't even cast it off 2 Dark Rituals. Ad Nauseam is instant speed and can happen on turn 1. Beseech the Mirror also happens on turn 1 and is a deterministic storm kill. Bargain would be a genuinely safe unban in legacy.

Bargain is twice as costly as Necro for pretty close to the same card. Necro comes down on turn 1, Bargain comes down on turn 2 at the earliest with 2 Rituals, which you're not always going to have. Necro is busted because it's so easy to cast, and even if you don't rush it out with Dark Ritual, it's still an obnoxiously powerful turn 3 play cast off swamps.

@@JohnFromAccounting Well, you're right, it's more costly, but it also draws cards right away, so I don't know which one is better. But anyway, I love Yawgmoth's Bargain because I could play it in Urza's and Mercadia's standard back then as a child. The deck was so busted ans fun, I don't know why it wasn't more popular. Let me give a decklist. Here is what I came up with trying to remember: 4 Dark Ritual 4 Duress 2 Renounce 2 Replenish 4 Vampiric Tutor 4 Academy Rector 4 Skirge Familiar 1 Contamination 2 Parallax Wave 2 Opalescence 3 Yawgmoth's Bargain 4 Grim Monolith 2 Tooth of Ramos 2 Voltaic Key 4 Crystal Vein 4 Peat Bog 3 Phyrexian Tower 2 Plains 4 Remote Farm 3 Swamp

yes!

Honestly, probably not thoughtsieze. As much work as it does everywhere else, trading cards in hand one for one is not quite the same when you have 2 other players looking at you weakening both yourself and that opponent.

@@jaceg810 this. Is more satire commented before i even watched. But yes i agree

thats what you commander players make them think, man how did they survive the first 16 years without it hahahahahahahahahah

@@edstone9890 um... dark rit is a staple in legacy and vintage as well and has been for years... necro was strong enough to get banned in legacy and is also restricted in vintage... As for demonic fair point however how can you refute commander not being the largest format? Also, we've always had these cards since the original commander set in 2011 so your point is what exactly?

Hey, you do what you gotta do. i've burnt a main phase and mana to hit my land a million times

good call. I think this list would be more accurate than the one in the video.

How is that card even good? Skipping your draw step is awful and paying life for cards is incredibly dangerous. What if the other guy "just f*king kills you" with their creatures because you paid all your life for drawing cards which you could have gotten for free (draw step) if you waited a bit? That card seems like a total noob trap.

@@AfroAtze lol

@@AfroAtze Hahaa somebody needs to play a vintage league.

@@AfroAtze i know right? how is necropotence even a good card? what's even the point of getting over a dozen cards in your hand immediately without the mana to pay for them?

​@lastnamefirstname8655 couple of things: Necropotence is only legal in formats with fast mana and rituals. There are cards you can cast for free. If nothing else you can discard down to handsome to put cards that want to be in the grave in the grave.

I was close!

"some disagreement" LOL

But somehow they are played far less in formats where they are legal 👀

Hell nah what

lol those cards are junk compared to the warping these cards did

And thoughtsieze which isn’t even banned in pioneer made the top 5
