@@j-lohome-slice7425 I wish I had been into limited back then, and not done spoilers. Imagine being at a prerelease for Planar Chaos and being the first person in the store to throw mana tithe at someone.
That was the original concept for Modern Horizons before the direct-to-modern aspect was added. Hopefully its success means they can make a set focused more on being really, really weird.
maro has said several times that those sets fucked up eternal formats a lot not only in power level but also color identity, so theyre rather hesitant to do something like that again
I'm sure there are other 5/2s, but Blistering Barrier is a 5/2 WALL. That's generally been near the top of my mind for "weird p/t" since way back in the day. I had completely forgotten about Spinal Parasite and Char-Rumbler, but I wasn't surprised to see Force of Savagery, even though I didn't remember what it was called.
When I was a kid, I got the Fifth Dawn Sunburst themed starter deck, and I was so confused by Spinal Parasite.... That deck was way too complex for my understanding of Magic at the time...
If all we're considering is the statline in a vaccuum, I agree with 1 and 2 on the list, but I think context matters. To me the Char-Rumbler is way weirder because unlike the Parasite he actually rocks his negative stat on the field, potentially leading to confusion even.
@@harkingmadwing5112 Looked it up and it actually doubles the power into the negative too. But besides stats pretty much any result that would be negative is set to 0 instead, so such a card would just do 0.
Odd note for number 3, once scavenge was released, it actually made it playable in some formats. In Dragon's Maze especially, a legendary creature by the name of Varolz, the Scar-Striped, was able to use it to great effect.
I think you have a typo, Ancients and Galleon are 10/10s. Oh wait, sorry, I had Doran mode on :P Also love the flavor text on Force of Savagery considering people only use it to buff Drizzt and Kresh and such.
i'm a little surprised there was no mention of the 1/0 tokens created by Master of Waves. Master of Waves is also by far the most successful card with a weird stat line, even if the card itself has a relatively normal 2/1
Those are so creative to me. When the master comes in he brings in a wave of 2/1’s. Then when he leaves the tide leaves with him. Ebbing and rising with the master
Autochthon Wurm's stat line is pretty cool from a Mel perspective. It had 14 toughness, which was the highest toughness at that point in the game. And 9 power is enough to be a threat, but it's not quite enough to be a two-turn clock on its own. It's... weirdly precise like that
There is two that come to mind immediately and both are in my Doran deck. A 5 mana 1/13 and a 4 mana 2/10. Edit: both mine got mentioned so I decided to look a bit harder. There is also a 10/2 for 4 mana but sadly no 13/1 for 5... there is a surprising number of 7/3s and 3 7/2s. Chorus of the conclave is a 3/8 and charix is a staggering 0/17.
Never forget the absolute chad of a player (Ugin Avatar if I remember right) that allowed Nizzahon to knock him out by throwing a 1/13 zombie at him. They were probably laughing their asses off.
If you're paying 5 colors for Spinal Parasite it becomes a 4/4 not a 3/3. also, If you at least payed 4 colors, you can use it's ability twice. not that that makes the card great or anything but still, accuracy counts.
@@tonysmith9905 No he’s right. It’s a 4/4. Comes in with -1 and with 5 +1s with 5 different colors then the math is: -1 + 5 = 4 . Card still sucks though lol
I play Lord of Tresserhorn in an EDH deck. He is my commander and I use tutors to find and play Torpor Orb, along side creatures like phyrexian dreadnought, for cheap heavy hitting cards. It’s a pretty fun deck especially with artifacts like lightening grieves.
What I don't like about Impervious Greatwurm is that the wurm looks way too small in the artwork. The previous biggest creatures were the Eldrazi titans, beings that made mountains look like anthills and seemed to reach into the stratosphere. Another example of a truly huge creature is Arixmethes, which literally is an island where an entire city state is founded on. Yet this Wurm seems just slightly bigger than a cathedral. It's large, but not nearly the size it should be as the current biggest creature in Magic. Emrakul has individual tentacles that are as big as this wurm.
Well, a creature's toughness represents its durability as well as its size, and the wurm is covered in armor. When it comes to power though... It's hard to picture how this wurm could dish out more damage than Emrakul. Of course, that doesn't take the Annihilator 6 into account.
I remember seeing a reference to calling him that waaaay back in the day, when Alliances was first coming out and when The Duelist was a print magazine. He's always been Good Buddy to me, 10-4!
Autochthon Wurm is seeing play in Calibrated Blast decks. That's probably my favorite Modern deck at this time. It's hilarious when you're able to basically 1 shot your opponent because they've cracked a couple Fetches. Ope! Sorry opponent, I'll just deal 15 to your face when you least expect it lol such a fun idea lol
I have a table top deck that uses Unhallowed Phalanx with the Conspiracy card Weight Advantage. Add in Rogue's Passage and Access Tunnel and you've got an unblockable 13/13 lol
Made an infinite combo with force of savagery for my horde of notions commander deck. Just run a crystalline crawler and a death's presence and when u cast the force, it dies as it enters and puts 8 +1/+1 counters of crystalline crawler. Remove 5 counters for wubrg mana to activate horde of notions to cast the force from the bin for free. Repeat for infinite mana, infinitely large creatures, and infinite cast and death triggers.
I remember laughing at Force of Savagery as a child. I started in Time Spiral block, so it and Char Belcher were my childhood. Also remember Autochthon Wurm being the win condition in one of my first decks. Good times, good times.
I used to have a Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck waaaay back when I first started playing the format. He was the only Grixis legendary creature I owned at the time 😂
Have just started the video, before the list even begins: I'm betting that Force of Savagery is on this list. 8/0 with no innate way to get Toughness above that 0 definitely counts. :-) I freaking love Time Spiral block. :-) EDIT: *YES! Yes, I knew it!!* It's on the list! :-D
Oooh man forgot about Force of Savagery!!! Also might try Spinal Parasite in my Ghen, Arcanum Weaver Commander deck lol as there is a Sage-theme to it :) where I try and keep removing counters to reset the Chapters. Problem is there are only like 4 cards in Mardu colors that can make this happen...all being colorless I think haha!
As children just learning the game we were so confused by Spinal Parasite. A friend got the theme deck dealing with the 5-color theme for his birthday and like it was not already confusing enough it contained Spinal Parasite. For some reason we played it similiar to wither, dealing damage as -1/-1 counters haha
I thought Force of Savagery would be at the top, and Char Rumbler high up on the list, but I forgot about Spinal Parasite and many of the others. I thought Nova Chaser (10/2) would be linked with Indomitable Ancient (2/10) since they were in the same block and mirror each other. I thought Stone Idol Trap with its 6/12 token might make the list, and possibly the 9/8 Eater of Days. By the way, Zektar Shrine Expedition makes 7/1 tokens with trample when you get three landfalls, so Blistering Firecat isn't the only 7/1 creature in the game.
I got a suggestion for Top 10s. Pretty simple, just Top 10 cards counting only points gained in Standard, then another top 10 for Modern, Legacy and so on.
Force of Savagery I used to play in my Kresh the Bloodbraided EDH deck. You got death triggers and 8 +1/+1 counters on Kresh for 3 mana, which was kinda insane.
Impervious Greatwurm won me many games of Momir on Arena during that set. At the time, it was the only 10 Mana card, so you were guaranteed it if you had a 10-mana play. If you just held out until then and saves some cards, you'd have 2 or 3 Greatwurms which made YOU impervious.
So cool to see Lord of Tresserhorn on this list! Especially since my boyfriend just built a “sacrifice matters” Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck. In that deck his downside actually becomes an upside!
I have a personal collection of cards with this exact theme, weirdest stats, and I'm very happy that 2 of my favorites are there, Force of Savagery and Char-Rumbler.
Illusionary Wall, a 7/4 with defender, flying, first strike and cumulative upkeep. If we're including creatures with variable power and toughness, there's Shapeshifter, and Sentinel.
Char-Rumbler could have a funny niche usage - use a bunch of Firebreating but make it go in the negative, and use it to attach an ally in EDH and gain him a bunch of life
A negative power creature should definitely give the opposing player life when it hits, and cancel combat damage. And it should likely come with an ability that lets your opponent force you to attack target creature, player, or planeswalker with it for a cost. And surely it should also have an ability that either player can activate for a cost that makes the sign flip.
I know that you just did a review of some kind of Arena limited set. Do you have any plans to look at Double Masters 2022 limited, which is only on MTGO? Even a brief review would be nice to see, especially for those of us who won’t touch Arena with a ten-foot pole.
One thing I do like about these high power low toughness creatures is that they do a really good job at teaching new players the value of removal and/or disrupting said removal.
I always thought Kynaious and Tiro ot Melitis had a weird stat line as a 2/8 but looking into it there are two others so while weird not quite as rare as the 2/10s you had on the list. Fun list though, I do enjoy the data driven ones but these special ones are always a treat.
totally forgot about spinal parasite. would have put money on char rumbler being number 1. Cedric Philipps and Patrick Sullivan even named their weirdest card in the set award in their podcast after char rumbler
WotC really missed a trick with Char Rumbler back in the day. If, instead of Firebreathing, it gained +1/+1 counters, it could have been a bomb in Limited.
From Gatherer rulings on it: "Yes, Char-Rumbler's printed power is -1. While its power is -1 or 0, it simply deals no combat damage" and "It won't deal negative damage."
Also it's not totally strange but it's a stat line that compliments it's own flavor. The Void Winnower. 11/9. Flavor being opponents cant cast spells or block with creatures with even CMC.
Genuine Magic fact: Lord of Tresserhorn was a 10/3 in design, but was bumped up to a 10/4 solely so the design team could call him Good Buddy (as in "10-4 good buddy"). I read this ages ago on the Magic website so it might be a struggle to find the fact, and I may very well even be wrong. But let's be real; does it matter? It's still a funny story.
I understand why you put the standard legal stipulation but like there isn't a single black border card with a unique p/t that wasn't printed in a standard set.
If there's one thing I love, it's absolutely bizarre cards, and bizarre statlines are great. Like most of us, I think Charix should have been on the list. But I'm super glad Force of Savagery was on the list, although I expected it to be #1. But damn, I didn't realise Char-Rumbler and Spinal Parasite existed. But what I am most glad about is the idea of "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!
I think Charix, the Raging Isle should be on this list, 0/17 is definitely weirder than 7/1 or 16/16.
Crab
I love my Charix, Righteous Valkyrie, and Maskwood Nexus combo. Very janky, but so fun to pull off.
Charix was one of my first thoughts as well
There are multiple 0/* that do booty damage though.
@@hungrybois5954 how Is your combo done?
Every list of weirdest anything always has at least two future sight cards or planar chaos cards on it. I wanna see sets like those again sometime.

I did not know any creatures in magic had default negative stats, that's wacky.

Odd note for number 3, once scavenge was released, it actually made it playable in some formats. In Dragon's Maze especially, a legendary creature by the name of Varolz, the Scar-Striped, was able to use it to great effect.
Wanted to say the same thing. One of the best creatures in Varolz edh besides death shadow and phyrexian dreadnought.
could also technically use it with Kresh the Bloodbraided; no need to even try to get the 8/0 to die on top of that to get the payoff
In all competitive formats with Varolz, there is no reason to use Force of Savagery over Death's Shadow.

A negative power creature should definitely give the opposing player life when it hits, and cancel combat damage.
And it should likely come with an ability that lets your opponent force you to attack target creature, player, or planeswalker with it for a cost.
And surely it should also have an ability that either player can activate for a cost that makes the sign flip.
if they printed a card that multiplied the statlines of all creatures in play by -1, beating your opponent to death with your -1/-1 would be funny
Char Rumbler and Force of Savagery were pretty clear includes for me, but ive never seen Spinal Parasite before.
I know that you just did a review of some kind of Arena limited set. Do you have any plans to look at Double Masters 2022 limited, which is only on MTGO? Even a brief review would be nice to see, especially for those of us who won’t touch Arena with a ten-foot pole.
I would do it if it was a regular Limited format and not a "premium" format. There just isn't enough of an audience.
One thing I do like about these high power low toughness creatures is that they do a really good job at teaching new players the value of removal and/or disrupting said removal.
Why do these types of creatures teach said values exactly?
Oh man, I tried to play lord of tressorhorn so so much in my earliest years of magic, and now I feel both old and stupid
I think this video is going to hold up for a good while!
First time i ever saw or hear about number 1 card in this top 😲
Something I love is how number 10 is actually a callback to number 5. Both ended up as very unique creatures!

WotC really missed a trick with Char Rumbler back in the day. If, instead of Firebreathing, it gained +1/+1 counters, it could have been a bomb in Limited.
If Char-Rumbler blocks a creature without any pumping, does that creature's toughness become 1 higher until end of turn?
From Gatherer rulings on it: "Yes, Char-Rumbler's printed power is -1. While its power is -1 or 0, it simply deals no combat damage" and "It won't deal negative damage."
That 8/0 is hilarious, had no idea it exists
How did char rumbler do in limited? Pumpable doublestrike seems good.
I want episode 500 to be the top 10 top 10's, either most views or the most points of all cards in the vid combined.
I would have to mention Grist from MH2, as he is a 1/1, only in your hand
In any zone except the battlefield
Charix splashing in Green to add reach to block Emrukel.
Master of Waves. First time I've seen zero toughness on a creature, albeit tokens
(9:06) If you pay WUBRG to cast Spinal Parasite, it'll be 4/4, not 3/3.
Also it's not totally strange but it's a stat line that compliments it's own flavor. The Void Winnower. 11/9. Flavor being opponents cant cast spells or block with creatures with even CMC.

There's a spell that makes a 7/1, so furecat isn't alone
Two of them. Zektar Shrine Expedition and Elemental Appeal.
I understand why you put the standard legal stipulation but like there isn't a single black border card with a unique p/t that wasn't printed in a standard set.
I didn't even realize their were cards with negative stat lines
If there's one thing I love, it's absolutely bizarre cards, and bizarre statlines are great. Like most of us, I think Charix should have been on the list. But I'm super glad Force of Savagery was on the list, although I expected it to be #1. But damn, I didn't realise Char-Rumbler and Spinal Parasite existed. But what I am most glad about is the idea of "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)"!
Hullbreaker and TiTi always struck me as weird with their 7/8 bodies, also they're actually good cards
