Top 10 Cards that Share a Name with a Keyword
One of the side effects of Magic coming up with so many keywords over the years is that sometimes, a card will be printed with the exact same name as one of those keywords. This, in and of itself, isn’t all that interesting of a detail. However, there are way more of these cards than you’d think at first glance, and more than enough that asking the question of which of these cards is the best becomes a compelling one. Today, we’re going to take a look at these coincidentally named cards and see which of them has had the biggest impact on the game

Failed MtG Designs - Companion

Mechanics will come and go in magic, each with their defenders and detractors. Few mechanics are universally reviled by the community, with Companion being a rare exception.

Once they finally got their hands on them, people began to detest the cards, many calling for every card with the mechanic to be...
Top 10 Cards That got BANNED Fastest in Magic

Bannings aren’t exactly a rarity in Magic, as sometimes, cards just have to go. However, it’s usually because old cards end up being too good with something new, or new techs being discovered. It’s generally a bad sign if a newer card needs to be banned. Of course, Wizards is far from perfect, and sometimes, they make mistakes. Big mistakes. Today, we’re looking at some of the most overpowered ...

    They should take the unprecedented step of banning all companions in all formats with no conditions. Flat out deleted from the game. Then issue an apology for trying to cash-grab commander players into other formats by warping literally all of magic around "command..ion?" because WE SAW YOU DO IT and it was DISGUSTINGLY greedy, short-sighted, and we all hate them and we kinda all hate you. I for one have not purchased *any* magic product since they were printed, and I don't plan to until they are un-printed and WotC admits the real reason they did this in the first place. I simply proxy cards for commander or play on cockatrice.

Countering your opponents fetchland is absurdly powerful Playing slower control decks in MKM and OTJ limited has really given me an appreciation for life gain. After a million lightning fast formats with crazy aggro decks, MKM finally gave us a bunch of midrangey creatures with life gain stapled on to them and they all overperformed.

    Undying should had been featured alongside Persist as they are basically different takes on two very similar keywords. Crime/Punishment is a three color spell not a two color. Would be cool if you wouldn't mind doing a list of cards that "explain a keyword" without actually using the keyword. i've been looking to collect such cards and i'm sure there's more than 10 of them.
