Comments

Milabrar: magic players and their love for destruction sometimes it feels like more about chaos than strategy
Onyx Oracle: not really my cup of tea but I'm curious about the design process behind these spells
Iris: haven't thought about MTG in ages, but Cyclonic Rift is a game-changer
Ethan: board wipes? give me the real magic: an actual challenge in a 5-mana combo
Mirage Talon: finally a list that's more about interesting ideas rather than just "best" in some arbitrary way. I'm curious, how often do you see these spells actually make a difference in
Onyx Rune: i love how this list doesn't try to define what makes a spell great. magic theory can be so convoluted
Lunagrant: as long as they're making lists it's never not fun
Zoe: most of these seem like standard stuff from highschool mtg days
Solar Echo: felt so bad for my phantom last time i played with it, but a good board wipe would've saved me
June: never thought i'd say this but spell names like wrath of god do look kinda cool now
Marek: i've never really gotten into magic, but wrath of god is a great example of how a single spell can shift momentum in a game
Talia: haven't played magic in years, what's with all these crazy spell names now?
