Xun Yu's card art depicts the time he has fallen out of favor from his lord Cao Cao. In this scene, he receives empty fruit baskets from his lord. In Chinese culture, giving fruits is a show of propriety or respect. He was basically told that he was no longer useful and respected. Quite appropriate for someone deemed as the worst black legend.
I remember hearing somewhere that Baron Sengir was even worse than he is now, because... there was only one vampire (other than Baron himself) printed back in the day. So viable targets for reanimation weren't exactly common.
Actually, there were two vampires at that time: Sengir Vampire from Alpha, and Krovikan Vampire from Ice Ages. Baron Sengir didn't count since back then, legendary creatures only had Legend as their creature type.
@@hiroshimatwinkie5571 And if you wait just a little to stronghold you get Crowax the cursed. And Sengir Vampiers was really good. Baron Sengir was a nightmare to play against in my time in 98/99 we used to play 4 player games with 30 life. So we played a more slow game. The Only way to get him of the board was with Sword to plowshare. He grow so quiqly that dmg would not touch him just make him stronger. So for a kitchen player he was just fantastic only second to Spirit of the night and Shauku, Endbringer.
To be fair, at least Sengir Vampire was pretty good back in the day IIRC, so at least it had that going for it. It was kinda like the black Serra Angel.
You weren't playing him in a singleton format so you had access to a different card pool. It was 60 card casual so you had 4 Sengirs, 4 Krovikans, a Crovax, two Barons, and then access to Clones and Vesuvans for more bodies or Sengir Autocrat for tokens to feed Crovax. That's a third of your 60 so the rest was removal and acceleration. I like Nizzahone's vids but every time he delves into Magics much older sets he keeps proving he was never there to see how cards functioned at the time and then looks at them in a vacuum from newer player's POV.
Lol I always look forward to your segue into the CardKingdom sponsorship at the end of these Worst videos. “If you wanna own any of these cards because [really goofy reason]…” is so funny every time.
Ishan's Shade is definitely a solid card by early MtG standards (doesn't look like much now but keep in mind that pretty much no good removal spell could out him at the time besides a massive Fireball), but there were 5 Black legends in Homelands - Grandmother Sengir was also a better card, being a 5 mana 3/3 that drops a -1/-1 on something every turn for a reasonable rate - respectable enough if not really good.
One thing I love about old Magic is how impressionistic and recognizable the artwork is. As bad as most of these creatures are, the art does a terrific job of taking your imagination into another world.
They should do 1 set with no digital art and be less meticulous on art directions (apparently it used to be just a few sentences but now is paragraphs). Physical painted art only. As some kind of throwback style set
@Gunnarr123abc Digitally enhanced art is fine. What I don't like is how cluttered and busy the current illustrations are. That and many of the subjects are lit from the back. The art rarely pops out of the card frame and catches my attention.
Homelands dev A: "I'm thinking of having a legendary 5BB 5/5 with forestwalk" Homelands dev B: "YOU MANIAC! That's far too powerful. We have to nerf the hell out of that."
7:46 if you blink a creature brought back by Geth it comes back just as normal,the only thing it changes is that it loses the “exile if put anywhere else” text
Hey, *DON'T* you dare insult Baron Sengir! Or *anything* from Homelands. It's the greatest set ever made. It's almost as great as "Top 10 Vintage Cards (Minus Power 9)". Absolutely S tier set.
This is the old trolling, once I saw someone commenting on a Homelands box on Ebay, putting it as if it was Urza's Saga. All in the hopes someone gets scammed.
@@mickmars8319 I unironically love Homelands, but that is dodgy as all hell. But hey, you could always buy it, say it wasn't the shipped box and get your money back, keeping the box.
@@TheGloriousLobsterEmperor trolololololo. I also meant that the box was legit Homelands, but the troll commenter said, like you, that the power of the cards was unprecedented and broken, as if it was Urza's Saga instead. An indirect scam, as the troll doesn't get the money, but gets the fun.
Spirit of the Night was a great card in its era with tournament success, that automatically disqualifies it. Similar story with Ishan's Shade, another Homeland's Black Legend.
Irini honestly doesn't seem that bad to me in the 99. Sure it's a little niche, but depending on your pod or local environment it could be its own fancy hatebear
Back in my days my friend played many of those legends from Mirage/tempest time 98-99 in his deck. And they where good. But we used to play kitchen magic 4 players and we started with 30 life. So the games we played where more comander like without comanders.
I'm legitimately curious how close Yargle might have been to making the list. I was mildly surprised to not see him at number 10 or 9, even though he's loved by the fandom so it would be controversial. Still, tapping out on turn five for a vanilla 9/3 that an opponent can respond by bolting is a real "feels bad" situation.
Yargle offers 9 power for 5 mana with no downside to lower that. That doesn't seem like much, but it gives it a lot of weird niches where it could be useful. It's also above rate overall technically, as it's only 2 toughness below the vanilla test but 4 power above.
Veldrane of Sengir really was the worst of a bad bunch. The Baron has a bunch of cool stuff in his textbox, and for one less mana at the same P/T, Veldrane gets an expensive "Forestwalk + -3/-0" ability. Even in something like Homeland limited, this would be a bad card.
@@djmccart Yeah, I'm not saying it was dominant or even correct to play it at the time. But I am pretty sure one or the other of them did make some appearances on competitive lists. Creatures were real bad back then.
Iname Death Apect for a brief beautiful period in CEDH made Kyoki shine when you reanimated them turn 3-4 and hit your opponents hand for their answers!
Glad I'm not the only one who tried to make an ogre/oni deck with that guy back in the day! I was reeling after my really good Nim deck got stolen, and the next deck I made was an Orochi deck that also was pretty good, but also got stolen. So the last deck I made before I gave up on MTG for TTRPGs until fairly recently was an ogre deck. It did fine, until Ravnica came out and I couldn't do jack shit against draft chaff!
I was given a bunch of 1997 and earlier cards from my mom's husband and I wanted to make a commander deck out of them if I could. The only Legends were Morinfen and Ayesha Tanaka sooooo
Geth is underrated. I would push him down to 10 place. He's risky, but potential uside is there and he looks fun to build ariund, unlike some other cards on the list.
11:24 Homelands was full of cards with unnecessary limitations. Veldrane can gain forestwalk! but he gets -3/-0. Sea Troll can regenerate! but only if slain by a blue creature. Rashka is a 4/5 with reach! but only when blocking or blocked by a black creature. They could have removed the limitations in each of these cases, and the card still wouldn't be great.
Irini Sengir isnt bad, back in the day you can cast turn two with dark ritual, also, most good white or green enchantments are 3 or 4 manas, so is a good option vs that class of card (well back in the day)
Barón sengir was printed during a period when they were printing crap. After fallen empires the cards didn’t get good again until mirage block, with mirage being when magic started printing the game we know today, when they had figured everything out.
EDIT: Nevermind, it isn't a Legendary Creature... I was REALLY sure it was but I just checked. Sorry How about "Ghastly Remains" Legendary Zombie from Legions (Onslaught Block, 2002 or 2003)? 3 Black for a 0/0 with Amplify 1, +1/+1 for each Zombie you reveal in your hand. At beginning of your upkeep if Ghastly Remains is in your graveyard you may pay 3 Black to return it to your hand. In a set with NOTHING BUT CREATURES, Legions, this is hands down the worst Black Legendary, lol!! I did find a use for it in a WAY off meta deck but only to bring it back to my hand so I could discard it immediately, lol!
So sad to see the Baron on thus list. Yes its accurate, but this was the boss for a black reanimation target back in the day. Verdent Force was the best if you played green, but this was basically the best nongreen target for a long time.
@@NizzahonMagic I didn't play the top decks back then so going off of kitchen tables of the time... Baron was better against "most" decks. Basically anything with creatures and an aggro plan. Spirit was better if they were on mostly black decks. Spirit could race better, but games back then didn't seem to go that route. We all just played for fun and Baron totally shut attacking down. From a tournament prospective I can say Spirit was probably the better reanimation target. But for fun and dominating the opponent? Baron all the way.
My pick for the #10 would have been Kiku, Night's Flower It has an interesting effect, but it's significantly worse than Kyoki, Sanity's Eclipse. Kyoki is at least a somewhat reasonable body for the cost and you don't actually need to invest any additional mana to use it's effect - just the mana needed to cast additional Spirit/Arcane spells (some of which even have alternate casting costs) Meanwhile, Kiku... is a slow removal spell attached to a 1/1 body without haste that you have to spend a lot of mana to actually use its effect (rather than get incidental upside just for doing the thing you wanted to do)
It is kinda funny, I remember tons of rumblungs about Geth when he first popped up on the scene. People thought he may revive re-animator style decks. I knew he was over hyper and that people pretty quickly soured on him, but, darn... 5th worst black legendary ever?
How dare you disrespect the kitty!!! Purraj is one of my favorite decks. I found a way to make it work, depending on what your definition of “work” is. I’ve won with commander/infect damage several times so that’s good enough for me.
Josu isn't great, but a 4/5 menace for 4 is worlds better than any of these dorks. Plus the fact that he has upside makes it reasonable for him to be left off. If the "Top 10 Worst" series were split up by era, then I could see him making one of those lists.
Mtg needs to update an revamp portal three kingdoms into new over powered format or block like Modern horizons 3...........jus cause it deserves some love..........
Before watching: I hope this list isnt full of Homeland Legends ... theyre horrible, sure, but i would want to see other horrid legends Edit: welp... a lot did come from Homelands Surprised to see Grandmother Sengir didnt make it... but i guess a 3/3 that can get rid of an X/1 at instant speed isnt THAT terrible For Yukora, i also tried to make it work... but couldnt. If only it said "sacrifice all Non-black creatures you control"... i think it could have worked...
The idea that a 6-mana mono coloured commander isn't going to hit the battlefield until turn 6 or later is pretty bad. If you fail to get a 6cc mono-colored commander onto the table by turn 4, either your luck or your deckbuilding is garbage.
I truly love your videos and this one is no exception, but the "worst" lists seems a bit unfair to me: powercreep is taking "light-year leaps" nowadays, so older sets are bound to be dominant in these videos. I suggest to limit the time frame, i.e. "before Mirrodin" and "from Mirrodin Set to today" or even partitioning in 3 THAT would be more interesting to me! Anyway, awesome work!

@@moedark4390 "1B, T: Target creature gets -1/-1 eot" isn't that bad an ability even if she is overcosted at five mana.
Xun Yu's card art depicts the time he has fallen out of favor from his lord Cao Cao. In this scene, he receives empty fruit baskets from his lord. In Chinese culture, giving fruits is a show of propriety or respect. He was basically told that he was no longer useful and respected. Quite appropriate for someone deemed as the worst black legend.
Pretty sure after that happened he also became a recluse and supposedly offed himself

Funnily enough, Baron Sengir has a similar problem to Teeka's Dragon, another infamous card - he wants to be blocked, but can't because he has flying
Funny enough, considering Ishan's Shade is quoted in his flavor text, Baron Sengir isn't even the best black legendary creature on his own card.

Honestly, Irini Sengir can be used as a pretty nasty stax piece in the command zone along with other cards.
Geth is like ‘We have Heartless Summoning at Home’.
I remember when homelands came out, we were so stoked for Baron Sengir. 😂
I was kinda excited when I first saw Geth during spoilers for All Will be One, but yeah, never played him...
I think the first term i heard the term "bomb" it was my friend talking about Baron Sengir😂 He still looks cool though
At least this one is not just Kamigawa block.
Aw, Baron Sengir is my favorite card. It makes me sad that they didn't make him as good as he deserved. 😢
Pleasantly surprised to not see my girl Shauku, Endbringer on the list!
baron sengir is meant to work with banding?
Geth's 17 lands stats would probably be a bit less horrible if he wasn't in the most aggressive draft format of the Arena era.
I was given a bunch of 1997 and earlier cards from my mom's husband and I wanted to make a commander deck out of them if I could. The only Legends were Morinfen and Ayesha Tanaka sooooo
Can we all agree baron sengir has great art though?
My boy Seizan dodgin' bullets.
Geth is a fine card and does not belong on this list. He who Hungers does belong on this list though
I kinda feel you should just omit homelands cards.
Kinda default it'll end up on any worst lists.
The first and second + yavimaya cradle of growth gives you an unblockable 4/5 commander
Is yukora the first card to appear on these lists to have top 8 results in tournaments?
Geth is underrated. I would push him down to 10 place. He's risky, but potential uside is there and he looks fun to build ariund, unlike some other cards on the list.
geth sucks, but hes really cool as a mid power commander
j played Yokura in a rakdos land destruction deck when he was legal in standard
Fun fact morifen has a yugioh card twin with in morinphen.
I, uh... Use geth in a black/blue reanimator deck, now i'm rethinking it.
11:24 Homelands was full of cards with unnecessary limitations. Veldrane can gain forestwalk! but he gets -3/-0. Sea Troll can regenerate! but only if slain by a blue creature.

Baron Sengir was a pet card of mine 25 years ago.
Oh, I still love Geth, mill like Griselbrand or something then use the ability.
Barón sengir was printed during a period when they were printing crap. After fallen empires the cards didn’t get good again until mirage block, with mirage being when magic started printing the game we know today, when they had figured everything out.
The prof is certainly less than enthused with your number 7 choice hahaha
I remember when people Player Gallowbraid and Morinfen, more often Morinfen, maybe they weren’t the best players playing the best decks. I don’t know.
I got Geth, Thane of Contracts for my prerelease promo... was so depressing lol. Why couldnt they at least make it "ALL other creatures"
Grandmother: the least bad Sengir.
I think Shauku, Endbringer is worse than a lot of cards on the bottom part of this list.
Gallowbraid and morinfen should be brought back with "partners with" mechanic
Kinda wish we could get UB Dynasty Warriors to give some of the Portal 3 Kingdoms folks better cards.
EDIT: Nevermind, it isn't a Legendary Creature... I was REALLY sure it was but I just checked. Sorry
How about "Ghastly Remains" Legendary Zombie from Legions (Onslaught Block, 2002 or 2003)?
3 Black for a 0/0 with Amplify 1, +1/+1 for each Zombie you reveal in your hand.
At beginning of your upkeep if Ghastly Remains is in your graveyard you may pay 3 Black to return it to your hand.
In a set with NOTHING BUT CREATURES, Legions, this is hands down the worst Black Legendary, lol!!
I did find a use for it in a WAY off meta deck but only to bring it back to my hand so I could discard it immediately, lol!
Pair Veldrane of Sengir with Vorpal Sword for a 2 card, 21 mana combo.
4:00 this is just a lion with a human body

Meanwhile, Kiku... is a slow removal spell attached to a 1/1 body without haste that you have to spend a lot of mana to actually use its effect (rather than get incidental upside just for doing the thing you wanted to do)
It is kinda funny, I remember tons of rumblungs about Geth when he first popped up on the scene. People thought he may revive re-animator style decks.
I knew he was over hyper and that people pretty quickly soured on him, but, darn... 5th worst black legendary ever?
i watch these to make sure i'm using these cards
Gonna be honest, i knew he shouldnt be on here, but i was still unnaturally afraid Ihsan was gonna catch Shade.
How dare you disrespect the kitty!!! Purraj is one of my favorite decks. I found a way to make it work, depending on what your definition of “work” is. I’ve won with commander/infect damage several times so that’s good enough for me.
Why does PTK have to specify successfully damaging an opponent?
Awesome, another worst list. This one is perfect because I'm planning a legendary theme for the 5 color deck in my worst cards cube. Thanks!
Kyoki says, "remove from the game". Thats crazy. Bounce a creature, play a spirit and its gone for good! Thats crazy.
I mean, there are lots of exile from hand effects. It's not that crazy.
The opponent chooses the card from their hand, the creature won't be gone if they have a choice about it.
She Xun on my Yu ‘till I Wei on her Advisor
Strap in, bravos, we’re headed for bat country ❤️🔥

You really think a 4-mana 4/5 with Menace and big late game upside is worse than a 6-mana 6/4 with a narrow and underwhelming triggered ability?
@ I guess it was my first attempt at making a bard card good? Fond memories from when I first started playing
Mtg needs to update an revamp portal three kingdoms into new over powered format or block like Modern horizons 3...........jus cause it deserves some love..........
Xun Yu can be untapped and tapped again though. Veldrane is just bad. I'd use a stronger word, but he doesn't deserve it. He's just... Bad.
I love Baron
Don't you normally do "once per set" rule for worst lists?
Before watching: I hope this list isnt full of Homeland Legends ... theyre horrible, sure, but i would want to see other horrid legends
Edit: welp... a lot did come from Homelands
Surprised to see Grandmother Sengir didnt make it... but i guess a 3/3 that can get rid of an X/1 at instant speed isnt THAT terrible
For Yukora, i also tried to make it work... but couldnt. If only it said "sacrifice all Non-black creatures you control"... i think it could have worked...
Xun Yu did nothing wrong.
(I meant: he doesnt really seem to be the worst to me..)
Yay! Endrek Sahr didnt make top 10!
lol @ 11:20
These old ish cards! Dude why?
Purraj of Urborg's art is disgusting, top 10 worst art for sure
The idea that a 6-mana mono coloured commander isn't going to hit the battlefield until turn 6 or later is pretty bad. If you fail to get a 6cc mono-colored commander onto the table by turn 4, either your luck or your deckbuilding is garbage.
You pronounced the "Zh" in mandarin correctly, but not the "X"! an X is like a hard "Sh", so Xun is pronounced "Shoon"
I truly love your videos and this one is no exception, but the "worst" lists seems a bit unfair to me: powercreep is taking "light-year leaps" nowadays, so older sets are bound to be dominant in these videos. I suggest to limit the time frame, i.e. "before Mirrodin" and "from Mirrodin Set to today"
or even partitioning in 3
THAT would be more interesting to me!
Anyway, awesome work!
