What's your most loved (C) (U) (R) and (M) Card(s)?

orgazmo

Doesn't have to be the absolute "best" or "OP" card around, but what are your favorite/most fun 2 cards in each category? I dont own a lot of the crazy cards like Olivia, BtB, Seasons Past, Crush of Tentacles, etc... so I have to make do. Incidentally, I've drawn Gisela 3 times... go figure.


Common:
Incubator Drone - With Jace2 this card is great for stall and very quickly becomes two defenders with 50/50+ with his 3rd
Uncaged Fury... Its just devastating with Nahiri's 3rd

Runner Up... Scour from Existence - Cost is high but sometimes you just need to do some house cleaning.


Uncommon:
Lone Rider - Lots of uses for this card. Add vigilance and some buff and he pretty much kills anything.
Sphinx's Tutelage - With a card draw deck this card is pretty dang good at lock down for 6 mana

Runner Up... Serene Steward - With any life gain deck, she is pretty dang good.

Rare:
Corrupted Grafstone - Great card for mana gain
Fevered Vision - This card keeps you stacked and does 4 damage most every round.

Runner Up... To the Slaughter - Kill plus possible PW damage for 5... Ohhhhkaaaaay

Mythic:
Gisela, the Broken Blade - This goes in any white deck I have.
Avaricious Dragon - 8/8 Flying is great, but combine with Fevered Vision and the mana gain can be pretty aggressive.

Runner Up... Alhammarret's Archive - With a card draw or life gain deck this is just a crazy card. Not great for QB, but excellent for events.

Common:
Grotesque Mutation - 4 mana for +3/+1 and lifelink till end of turn is a decent boost.
Scour from Existence - mentioned above, but solid removal, especially for green which can easily ramp up to cast it.

Uncommon:
Demolish - cheap, staple support removal that can potentially cause cascades.
Give no Ground - cheap spell to give +2/+6 and reach. Great for clearing your opponent's board, especially if you have a first strike creature.

Rare:
Avacyn's Judgment - flexible damage that your opponent can't make you discard.
Bombat Courrier - haste defender that refills your hand when it dies.

Mythic:
Exert Influence - take anything. Your opponent's biggest threat is now yours.
Oviya Pashiri, Sage Lifecrafter - she's not big on her own, but she's cheap, and she can easily fill the board with thopters and servos. Activate 4 pretty much ensures you'll hit it every turn.

I'm going to exclude Olivia and Ulrich because they go in my decks due to their power level and utility, not because they are my favourites.

Common:
Disperse
Smite the Monstrous (used to be Enshrouding Mist before they nerfed it)

Uncommon:
Demolish
Volcanic Rambler

Rare:
Haunted Cloak
Shrine

Mythic:
Nissa's Renewal
Omnath (haven't used him in a while, but I'll never forget what turned the tide for me vs. the AI cascades while leveling up to 60 with Kiora)

Common
TighteningCoils
Nerfing and pinning a creature often serves me better than killing or bouncing in a controlling deck
Plummet
Gives me peace of mind against Olivia, angels, and dragons

Uncommon
Campaign of Vengeance
Black equivalent of Sphinx Tutelage
Lone Rider
This one deserves a rare at least

Rare
Animist's Awakening
Mana time bomb that sometimes backfires, so fun to play
Tamiyo's Journal
Dilute supports pool against destruction, intervene AI decision making, works well in lots of combos

Mythics
Archangel Avacyn
I like this goes occasional rage mode!
Metalwork Colossus
Recent fave. Destroying supports when dying is annoying but watching it absorb almost any creature is fun

bk1234

I could list commons and uncommons I love to play with all day. Mythics and rares are harder because I don't really love them as much as need them. Olivia and UC are good examples -- they're necessary, however quite boring to play with. The pig, too.

Common
True-faith Censer
Uncaged Fury
Ghostly Wings

Uncommon
Demolish
Lashweed Lurker
Inner Struggle

Rare
Prism Array
Displacement Wave
Fevered Visions

Mythic

Days Undoing

Enshrouding Mist was the anchor to my boss deck for the Avacyn event. It was so much fun playing it again. Also didn't make my list because of the nerf, but it's really helpful against opponents who have direct damage abilities.

I like enshrouding mists. cast together with give no
ground and watch all sorts of mythics attack that what
was 1/1 soldier.

akoum stonewaker(uncommon) can be fun when
watching the ai cheat, I mean cascades 5 matches,
I mean cheat and it keeps count too.

Yvendros

Common
Smite the Monstrous

Uncommon
War Oracle
Lone Rider
Runner up: Whispers of Emrakul/Transgress the Mind

Rare
Veteran Warleader (my zGideon deck got me through silver/gold/beginning of platinum)
Oath of Liliana (versatile, good for objectives)
Runner up: Turn to Frog. *ribbit*

Mythic
Hixus, Prison Warden (my first mythic, thought it was garbage at first)
Behold the Beyond
Runner up: Tree of Perdition (mixing it with Avacyn's Judgement makes me giggle)

As said before theres a few mythics that need no explanation...they just go into any deck of that color because they are so amazing. Olivia, Giesela, Ulrich, etc. These are mine that not everyone may know or appreciate

Common:
Scour from Existance: As mentioned before...sometimes you just need plain removal in any color deck you run.
Smite the Montrous: Nice cheap removal for white. Can't be any simpler.

Uncommon:
Inner Struggle: 6 mana red removal.....nuff said
Gather the Pack: For those that know how to use it and what to pair it with, this can be absolutely devastating

Rare:
Oath of Liliana: Zombie gen AND removal all in one. This is a solid hit and deserves to go in any zombie deck. And at 10 mana, its cheap.
Prized Amalgam: If played right, this is beyond annoying and potentially a life saver. Paired with Oath of Liliana or any kind of zombie gen, you've got an immortal wall. Plus....all copies stack and return so it just keeps on growing.

Mythic:
Wolf of the Devils Breach: This is a great card. In my Koth deck, if I get it out fast, nothing stays on the board very long. Paired with Jori-en, its got plenty to eat and i still have plenty to cast.
Behold the Beyond: I can't count how many times this card saved my bacon. If i need removal, i'll cast this and chances are i'll pull any number of cheap black removal right away, most of the time two. Plus if you stock up on cheap creatures and spells, you wont need much more to pull them all out next turn.


Honorable Mentions:
Suppresion Bonds: Awesome and i love dropping multiples of these just to frustrate the AI
Gone Missing: Must have for any blue bounce deck
Nissa's Renewal: This card, if timed right can empty your hand, empty your opponents hand, and put you back on top for life. I've played a cascade of three once with a Hydra I'd just stolen and ended the match right there. It was glorious
