Like the new look of the MTG Top 10s? My friend Mike, who has his own RUclips channel called Mythic Tales, made it look like this! Follow him on Twitter for more pretty Magic-related things: twitter.com/mythictalesmike
I want to learn about more cards like Necropotence. Do something like "Top 10 cards that changed how people understand Magic" or "Top 10 most historically significant cards"
It would be great to have these all the way to different formats like Legacy then Modern. Cards that shaped a whole color like Delver of Secrets, or when Red printed Faithless Looting. Cards that changed the whole dinamic of a color. :)
Enchantments have always been my favorite card type, My favorite of which being starfield of nyx. When Richard Garfield came back to roll out sagas which where like enchantment plainswalkers, you best believe I was stoked.
Tea seriously. I beat a couple of jund decks that ran no basics on turn 2 with it. I knew they had no basics and just mull until it was in my hand ha. Slowed down bogles enough to kill the player.
15:00 it's important to notice that it was successful for an additional reason: you can actually counter the last triggered ability in order to permanently exile that permanent. That's why every successor does include the "...until [this permanent's name] leaves the field", which is a downgrade.
My personal favourite: Aluren Such an unconventional card, yet you can build some crazy decks around it. Worth mentioning second place: Oath of Druids. Waaay to strong... possibly the most powerful enchantment card ever!
My Top 10 Favorite Enchantments. Havoc Festival Underworld Dreams Spiteful Visions Greater Good Doubling Season Psychic Connection Deadbridge Chant Black Market Battle of Wits Colfenor's Plans
Beyond the cards that everyone is mentioning (mostly Rancor and Blood Moon) I am also curious about Survival of the Fittest (completely insane card), Yawgmoth's Bargain, Doubling Season, Phyrexian Arena, Rhystic Study, Propaganda, Pernicious Deed, and Evolutionary Leap (a card I think is highly underrated.)
Without seeing the video first, I really love that black curse. "Enchant player. He discards a card or loses 3 life at the beginning of his turn." Or something like that. Getting four of those on someone is a fun way to win.
When Splinter Twin first came out, I picked up a playset online for a mere dollar, only to resell them a few months later for 80$ (20$ each). I saw so much potential in them at first, even without a Pestermite or Deceiver Exarch combo, and was so shocked that no one else valued them like I did. Kiki-Jiki was such a popular creature, and with the ability to turn another creature into Kiki-Jiki for 1 mana cheaper and with a single target (as you'd probably do with Kiki-Jiki anyway)? Yes, please.
Love your content man. I work graveyard shift in Virginia and your new video always shows up early into my Friday shift. I haven't missed one in months haha.
Man, some nostalgia watching this, I used to had some crazy decks focused in enchantment years and years ago (before Theros), Standstill is a funny card to use.
Kind of expected Aether Grid and hoped to somehow see Oath. Number 1 is pretty surprising and I like Standstill still being there though it's only in Vintage mostly these days
Seems like part of the reason O-Ring might fall from the top is that they keep printing the effect on different cards at different mana costs instead of just reprinting O-Ring. They also printed Banishing Light as a "fixed" O-Ring because of some shenanigans you could do with the original card.
I don't get it, why would it matter that your opponent blew up Necro before you get the cards? You still get them either way, no matter if Necro is on battlefield or not.
You forgot to mention that you can ignore Sylvan library drawback if you use some replacements effect, like Abundance (that was used in many Oath of Druids decks).
you did it! ive wanted to see this video for a while already. when i posted my question, you were probably already busy with this one haha. what i can conclude from here is that enchantment auras are too narrow to get any good scores. so. the next big one is artifact equipments, but i can wait forever for that one. great video, love the new format, thanks!
Out of curiosity, were Yawgmoth's Bargain and Exploration anywhere near placing on the list? Yawg's Bargain I believe was being used in Tendrilstorm for a while, so I'm curious about it... While Exploration, I just have a personal attachment to.
I think it's important to note WHY oblivion ring was so powerful besides its basic removal effect, and that's its interaction with flicker effects. Separating the two triggered abilities led this to abuse, and since then has been fixed by the printing of banishing light. I dont think we will see another printing of oblivion ring for the foreseeable future, thus it may just fall down the list.
Wait, I think I don't follow something on Necropotence: enchantment removal shouldn't be a big counter to it, if you can still activate it's ability in response to the effect destroying it, right? Or do you only draw the cards in the end step if necropotence is still on the board by that time?
Lets hear it for the casual honorable mentions... Mana reflection.. Parallel lives.. Doubling season.. Paradox haze.. Getting something twice enchantments
I am very confused on Necropotence. "Board wipe/unload hand no problem" well yeah pay 7 life to set cards aside that you don't get? Unless I'm mistaken "discard phase" only occurs if you have more than 7 card if you have nothing then don't you get nothing?
@@NizzahonMagic what?! You mean my play group been fibbin to me? Dangit I had a really good deal on a Necropotence they talked me out of it and now i cant get anywhere near that deal
i'm still getting used to as it feel very different but i can say that it is a major step up. I look forward to see where you take this new style and quality
I take issue with the statement that they didnt value card draw and thats how ancestral got through. The early assumption of the designers was that no one would collect enough cards to get full playsets of power so they were designed to be overly strong. The other thing is Necro is a much more complicated effect than simply draw many players avoided it because it was confusing and seemed kinda bad what was the point of drawing more cards than you could make use of all while taking damage and restricting the phase in which you could draw? It wasnt until combo winter came around where decks had very high card inequality were drawing sheer volume became far more powerful than just drawing more cards. Drawing a few rituals, some disruption illusions and donate is far more powerful than drawing 2 more 3/3 apes for 3, or several 2/2 protection beaters. The exception was the combination of firestorm and necro where you had a very standard value centric RB deck that then transformed its dead cards into more burn throw 3 extra dead cards into firestorm ding your opponent for 3 and clear 2 blockers, or a blocker and self ping for 3 was a good way to transform extra cards into value in a non combo deck. Necro is very subtle and with card quality being as poor as it was back then its not crazy to think that it was overlooked.
While what you are sayinh isn't incorrect, Richard Garfield himself has said card draw was not appropriately costed in the original set on multiple occasions. Even if you only have a single Ancestral Recall, it is crazy strong when you cast it for one mana, and this was not his intention.
Wasn't modern splinter twin typically played really greasey? Like people would tend to show their opponent that they had the combo instead of deliberately playing it out in order to kind of see if the opponent would scoop or if they have a response 🤔
OH NO! NOT BLACK SUMMER and COMBO WINTER! I'm having flash backs to Turbo Stasis vs Necro. An interesting note, pretty much everything was restricted and banned in Turbo Stasis but they left Necro alone til 2001 :(

The upgrade is absolutely great.
Number three is cheating
@@MrJund-gp3jh no u
Considerable upgrade! Looks way more professional.
Looks great!
I want to learn about more cards like Necropotence. Do something like "Top 10 cards that changed how people understand Magic" or "Top 10 most historically significant cards"
That does sound pretty interesting
Agreed. It would be fun to see what cards shaped magic to what it is today. Please make something like this.
Spiritmonger definitely would make the list, it was the first creature with power/toughness greater than its CC and no downside.
It would be great to have these all the way to different formats like Legacy then Modern. Cards that shaped a whole color like Delver of Secrets, or when Red printed Faithless Looting. Cards that changed the whole dinamic of a color. :)
@@Domenico44055 Besides Akroma it was the card to cheat into Game to win, also the Color swichting was pretty strong too.
Lawl at the Necropotence error
Aaaaah I was pretty surprised at the bump in presentation quality and then heard that. Still really an impressive jump 👍
I left it in because I thought you were making a joke about how Gathering Magic has already made an entire video about Necropotence, haha
@@MythicTales Yeah that's it.
It's not terrible, although I did notice on first viewing (still watching currently at splinter twin)
I've been playing UG mill in standard using search for AZ, anyone else play mill cause It has great match ups against aggro especially
Was really expecting Blood Moon and Rancor to be somewhere on the list.
@Lord Inquisitor Shadowlord except for splinter twin?
Enchantments have always been my favorite card type, My favorite of which being starfield of nyx. When Richard Garfield came back to roll out sagas which where like enchantment plainswalkers, you best believe I was stoked.
Holy bump in quality, this is great!
Top 10 Draw Spells would be really interesting
I'm actually surprised that blood moon did not make this list
Tea seriously. I beat a couple of jund decks that ran no basics on turn 2 with it. I knew they had no basics and just mull until it was in my hand ha. Slowed down bogles enough to kill the player.
This guy list sucks, for real.
@@artacuno7564 most playable =/= best cards. Got It? Dipsh*t.
@@Taneubas how do they suck? They’re pretty factual. It just didn’t make the list that doesn’t mean it’s not good.
1:20! Props for leaving it in! :-)
Oh god nice intro this was so good. Good job man, the quality bump is so noticeable and looks amazing
Keep doing what you’re doing. Love the top 10 lists to watch every Friday at lunch break 👍🏻
Because of the circumstances, I believe it is correct to ask for top 10 vintage cards.
Also, love the new intro!
what went wrong when u tried to say necropotence lol
Love the new video layout! I also like that you show different artwork/printings on some of the cards. I find different versions fascinating!
Loving the new visual style
Nice new intro! I'm glad that your theme music isn't four times as loud as your voice anymore.
Please do that video on Necro-ungh!
For a second there I thought I was on a different channel. Love the new intro and also the new presentation style :)
Loving how the entire comments section is wowing at how clean the new format is. DUDE ITS SO CLEAN
15:00 it's important to notice that it was successful for an additional reason: you can actually counter the last triggered ability in order to permanently exile that permanent. That's why every successor does include the "...until [this permanent's name] leaves the field", which is a downgrade.
Significant bump up in quality on this video, good job and hope to see more
Love love love the improved video/audio/animation quality! Your great content deserves great presentation :)
My personal favourite: Aluren
Such an unconventional card, yet you can build some crazy decks around it.
Worth mentioning second place: Oath of Druids.
Waaay to strong... possibly the most powerful enchantment card ever!
Yepper... I have Aluren in an Enchantment Creature deck. It can ramp up fast.
No bongos?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! (but seriously, i like the changes)
New intro and formatting stuff seems really spicy
Courser of Kruphix is crazy. What I love about green is how it can get you extra mana in your mana pool and the creature manipulation.
Loving the new aesthetics. My only critique would be to remove the word “number” and just have the number bigger or maybe a #
Cool list! Sylvan Library's my personal fave.
Is nobody going to talk about Sphinxs tutelage? That card is my baby
Sphinx's Tutelage + Fevered Visions is a match made in heaven.
For me it is “collosification”
My Top 10 Favorite Enchantments.
Havoc Festival

I like this opening a lot more than your last one!
One of my next commander decks is going to be a health drain Oloro deck, and Standstill would be great in that deck
Love your content man. I work graveyard shift in Virginia and your new video always shows up early into my Friday shift. I haven't missed one in months haha.
Glsd it works out for you
Dig the new editing, feels cleaner and more crisp 👍

I don't get it, why would it matter that your opponent blew up Necro before you get the cards? You still get them either way, no matter if Necro is on battlefield or not.
I love the jump in quality. It’s great
Love the new layout. Much better use of screen space.
Nice opening and graphics!
Dude im loving the new layout :)
Remember Doubling season? One of the most powerful cards in the original Ravnica block...
I got 3, all from packs😁
Doubling Season + Thallids. Too much fun.
Necropotence came in my first pack of Ice Age I did not realize the power and never went after nor randomly got anymore.
You forgot to mention that you can ignore Sylvan library drawback if you use some replacements effect, like Abundance (that was used in many Oath of Druids decks).
you did it! ive wanted to see this video for a while already.
when i posted my question, you were probably already busy with this one haha.
what i can conclude from here is that enchantment auras are too narrow to get any good scores.
so. the next big one is artifact equipments, but i can wait forever for that one.
great video, love the new format, thanks!
Already did equipment
@@NizzahonMagic oh yeah you did. oops.
Out of curiosity, were Yawgmoth's Bargain and Exploration anywhere near placing on the list?
Yawg's Bargain I believe was being used in Tendrilstorm for a while, so I'm curious about it... While Exploration, I just have a personal attachment to.
Older cards get an extreme disadvantage with this scoring system there was just less tournaments back then, you should do by percentage of top 8s.
The new fonts/interface looks great!
What editing software do you use? Cause how did that necropotence error slip in the final cut
I think it's important to note WHY oblivion ring was so powerful besides its basic removal effect, and that's its interaction with flicker effects. Separating the two triggered abilities led this to abuse, and since then has been fixed by the printing of banishing light.

Kudos on the new design, Nizz. Definitely an improvement. :)

Love the updates! Looks fresh
It says something that everything on the list (not necropotence) is still played in some format or another today
New format is slick! Could we get a top ten of some kind for the pauper format eventually?
The new visuals are wonderful, please keep at it with them ^^
So uh... what was that pause there? Something about Necropotence?
Lets hear it for the casual honorable mentions... Mana reflection.. Parallel lives.. Doubling season.. Paradox haze.. Getting something twice enchantments
Yeah, dam that quality got a nice boost! Keep it up!
And where is blood moon ? No honored mention...
Shocked to not see Doubling Season or Parallel lives on the list
Exceptional quality as always.
I appreciate your hard work!
Oh, a new page design! Looking good!
How did blood moon finish in the scoring?
29 points.
@@NizzahonMagic Thanks for the answer... Btw I love all your top 10 videos!! great job!!

I have 4 of them!Azcanta,Bitterblossom,O ring and leyline of the void

Graveyard strategies are not degenerate.
Some are
Dredge would like a word with you
I want more “fromats” with Necropotence
Shocked at no Rancor...I expected it at like number 9 or 10.
Is Oblivion Ring the same as Banishing Light?
I'm really surprised Blood Moon didn't make the list. How many points did it get?
29. Was surprised too
The quality of your videos jumped super fast man. Congrats
Opinions on Wilderness Reclamation?
Out of curiosity, how many points did Eidolon of the Great Revel get? I was very surprised to learn that Courser had scored so much higher.
It is in thw high 30s.
Will you make updats on these videos soon?
Wasn't modern splinter twin typically played really greasey? Like people would tend to show their opponent that they had the combo instead of deliberately playing it out in order to kind of see if the opponent would scoop or if they have a response 🤔
Dude nice new video layout!
Hopefully will state to see commander lists added since wizards is now having competitive commander games
They aren't, though.
Love the new video style! Looks great!
If you haven't made one yet, how about a top 10 token maker?
I really like the new intro. What's the song? the description still lists the old music.
The new format is brilliant! Looks more professional "sponsored by Card Kingdom" stylish, a little less PowerPoint
Keep up the good work my dude!
OH NO! NOT BLACK SUMMER and COMBO WINTER! I'm having flash backs to Turbo Stasis vs Necro.
An interesting note, pretty much everything was restricted and banned in Turbo Stasis but they left Necro alone til 2001 :(
Loving the new set up
Where is Dream Halls? One of the best enchantments of all time. Definitely underused.
Dan Castle if it’s underused, why would it show up on a list of top performing cards?
no mention of stasis?
Forgot to cut audio my dude?
Nice new branding! Sound sounds better? New mike?
New editing. Same mic
Where did blood moon place?
