I really enjoyed this video from Rhystic Studies, and it made me think about those cards which have had a big impact on me in the game.
So here's five:
Alruen-a conversation around this card was instrumental to having me think about the game differently, when a friend asked me how it would work. I became more about 'what do you want to do' than 'that can't be done'.
The Lieges. I love the elegance of these designs. I can't say they're overly powerful, but I built decks for each one and they get better as they age and new cards come out that get boosted by the Liege.
Anje's Ravager-The R/B Madness deck I have is and may always be one of my favorites. I enjoy the synergies and am always looking for the stealth pieces that help it get juuust a little better-like Tersa Lightshatter. The Ravager is a key piece to it, as well as being a neat way to enable the deck.
Zephyr Falcon- This card helped inspire the first or second deck I ever built, a White/Blue fliers deck. While this is a thing most new players do when they find a powerful theme, I was (and am) no different! I still have the deck, updated and occasionally doing great things.
Recurring Nightmare-another card that I still have in a deck, one that is probably too dang slow for Magic now. Still, it embodies Black in such a fantastic way that I can't let myself let go of it.
