Can you do a "Top 10 cards that saw no standard or block play"? Basically, what are the ten best cards in magic that had standard legality but _only_ have points in eternal formats? This means that cards that were only ever released in supplementary products, such as modern horizons or commander, would not be elligible for the list. Ideally, cards that were originally printed in supplemental sets that achieved eternal format success, but were later reprinted in a standard environment, would also be excluded but that's more of a "wishlist" item, so to speak.

To get an idea of how bad Merfolk of the Depths is, Boon Satyr was printed in the very next set and cost 1GG for a 4/2 flash that also had Bestow 3GG. Now Boon Satyr is a strong rare and Merfolk of the Depths is a filler uncommon, but a lot of that strength comes from Bestow. Merfolk probably would have been fine at 1{G/U}{G/U}. That's knocking 3 off the mana cost to make a card that's just OK. And man, Simic could really have used the extra power in Gatecrash draft.

6:10 ah, Steelleaf Paladin, my first multicolored. I started playing around Onslaught/Mirrodin blocks, which was right around the time when creatures started to be good in their own right (though this was about the most significant such step, in later years creatures would of course become even better), i.e. when every multicolored tended to be almost at-rate and green creatures were always at minimum at-rate. So when I got the Steelleaf Paladin from an earlier set I was profoundly confused, because it was a French Vanilla 4/4 with a downside. I thought "It costs 6 but is otherwise a French Vanilla, does that mean the Enters-the-Battlefield effect is a positive?" I didn't really compute in my 13 years old brain that, for such already high costs, it was intended as an additional cost.

Merfolk of the Depths is a terrible constructed card, but it's fine in its intended limited environment. That's because other Simic cards had the Evolve mechanic, where if another creature enters the battlefield with higher power than the original creature, it gets a +1/+1 counter. You generally couldn't activate Evolve at instant speed, making Merfolk of the Depths a combat trick in addition to being a creature.

Merfolk of the Depths would come in as _somewhat_ a “surprise” to your opponent after they attack and then realise that the 6 mana you left unspent was so you could flash in that piece of shit. The surprise however is that your opponent would’ve expected something _(...anything)_ better than you dropping 6 cmc on that Merfolk 🤯🤪😂 In all seriousness though... Can someone please explain to me why “Malicious Advice” is on this list (at number 8)? I mean is the card amazing? No, but it is still somewhat effective. As Nizzahon said it can still have somewhat an impact on the game. Given the card would be so much better if it had the option to not untap during your untap step (like that older ability seen in Amber Prison) so you could keep the permanents tapped. I still think it is playable and could possibly buy you the time you need to turn things in your favour.

Yea they said they didn't know how to design gold cards. Moreover most of them are about at the rate of normal creatures at the time, of you dont take in account the restrictions and the fact they cost two colours

I've had this theory that Legends was an unfinished set. I can't think of any other reason these Legends had no abilities, absurdly high CMCs, and there were other legends in the same set that were way better. Its like they came up with the art, the target costs (which is 7 for many), and the stats but didnt have time to R+D some abilities. Its a shame to see some of the good art on these cards (like Lone Wolf and Sivitri) going to waste.

I really wish they'd update the Legends, legends to modern design. If anything to just have a bad-ass Sivitri that's actually worth casting. Kind of like how they used the commander decks to update the weatherlight crew.

Flavorfully, Segmented Wurm really should counter the spell or ability in addition to gaining the counter. And maybe only triggered if the opponent controlled it. Wouldn't have made it good enough, but interesting, maybe.

I feel like these sorts of lists should be segregated into like pre and post Modern or something, otherwise you get a lot of "This card printed when Serra Angel was considered game-breaking doesn't hold up to the standards of an environment where Baneslayer is considered mediocre."

Segmented Wurm would have been WAY cooler (and better) and also fit the flavor text better if it countered the spell in addition to adding the -1/-1 counter.

Sooo, I'm one of those EDHRec points for Martyr's Tomb and I have to say you missed the value. The point of it is to play it in a life-gain deck or a group-hug deck and prevent the 1 last lethal damage to key creatures. You can use this as politics to save other player's key creatures. It may not objectively be a good card, but it's a fun card and has it's place.

Looking at the Legends version of Elder Dragons then looking at the M19 versions of Elder Dragons, you can see Wizards of the Coast learned their lesson after 20 years. Old Vaevictis Asmadi is a terrible dragon compared to his Dire version.

I think #2 has it's (very) niche use. If you for some reason want your opponent to draw cards, like Underworld Dreams, for example, this is not a bad card. Ofcourse it should be that you and defending player draws, or it should be a 5/5, for sure it is terrible, but that's some times what makes magic great, that there are card that can fill tons of very niche uses. Can't wait till some one makes a totally busted deck with that 1 black mana, discard your hand card. For sure the worst card ever right? For now... For now :)

Saying that Marty's Tomb is a bad card just shows a huge lack of creativity on your end. It may not be the most effective cards in the world, but it has some neat tricks: 1. Combine with Horobi, Death's Wail for free removal. 2. Get to an odd life number and win with Near-Death Experience 3. Exchange life total cards Probably a lot of things I am missing

I genuinely don't understand why there would be two cards with that are essentially identical in all but colors and have one just have one more power than the other. I know magic design was very different back then but like... they understood the appeal of cycles and symmetry. Why in the world would you make a 7 mana 6/5 and a 7 mana 5/5 in the same set with similar theming and the same type of mana cost? It just... feels so wrong
