    I think Nissa's Renewal is a must have in a Green deck. It can generate enough mana to fill the rest of your entire hand while recovering 30 health all in one shot. I find it essential in turning the tide, especially if you are lacking creatures with lifelink.

    Behold the Beyond is due to break soon, tho, whenever they release a GB or UB planeswalker. And then this long period of stability where we pretend like OP cards aren't a problem will come to an end.

    Who is pretending op cards aren't a problem? Oh right. The ones who got the op cards.

    Does it annoy you that some cards are OP? Then start some threads on the forum! I tried, months ago, several times, and this was the response, so I gave up.

    Stop merely reacting to other people's posts and make some forum content yourself! I look forward to seeing which cards you consider to be OP.

    If people dislike me pointing out the flaws of their ideas, they downright hate the stuff I post.

    I did post once remember? Advocating for certain changes in the game. The suggestions were not popular, and the implementation universally hated by the people here. Being hated gets tiring.

    But point taken. You've inspired me, and it's time to draft a second post.

    Kaladesh is notable in that most of its creatures, to this point, are perceived as anti-power creep, and not much worth playing.

    Hexproof has new counters in the form of Thalia and Authority of the Consuls which gives you that 1 turn window when it is summoned to use your removal on the Hexproof creature. Otherwise, you've to resort to first creature disable or mass disable on top of the previously mentioned Hexproof counters.

    My list of best cards are on the basis of being able to slot them into whichever existing planeswalker can best utilise them, is in no particular order (cause they're all too OP) and is not restricted to cards I have:
    1. Olivia, Mobilized for War
    2. Drowner of Hope
    3. Starfield of Nyx
    4. Deploy the Gatewatch
    5. Hixus, Prison Warden

    Special mention: Behold the Beyond

    At last, Drowner of Hope gets some respect! So flexible.

    Its a mana booster.
    It disables all the opposing creatures.
    It protects block.
    It synergizes so well with colorless creatures and eldrazi scion spawning supports.
    And with all that its an 8/8 + 4/4 for a mere 17 cost?

    Drowner super good. I'd also like to humbly add Prized Amalgam. Excellent in zombies, and powers several different strong combos with different planeswalkers. It's an extraordinarily useful engine in a lot of decks (and only a rare! now you're just SUPER unlikely to get it, as opposed to actual mythic status)

    I don't know if Ulrich is top 5, but it is way up there. Very strong on its own. It is a strong creature that is both a buff and creature removal in the same card.

    My criteria for "OP" is longevity and versatility. What do they offer the meta that is so strong they will integrate into any future sets or even be cornerstones for the foreseeable future.

    1. Deploy the Gatewatch: no matter how expensive your creatures this brings them to the board. Huge offensive and mana advantage.

    2. Mirrorpool: Similar to above and even infinitely better when in concert with Deploy. Every creature with an awesome body is ~twice as good with this little 4 mana support. Every huge mana cost spell to come can be trivial to cast.

    3. Behold the Beyond: Critical mana and card draw advantage.

    4. Startled Awake: Huge mana ramp for a color that already has solid draw and control. Has applications and worth to any future set.

    5. Olivia: Ya everyone knows why but this lady is pervasive. Red can combo with any color right now. Every creature is made a huge threat by Olivia.
