Play this. Copy it 3+ times. Watch everybody concede.

Good times.

it is my opinion that blue is the best colour because of unsummon (also standstill).
[mtg_card=Unsummon]? If you're running that, why not just use [mtg_card=Vapor Snag]. Same cost, same effect, with the injury of a ping added to the insult.
Only reason to use Unsummon instead is because Vapor Snag rotated out of Standard.

Man....that's a tough call. I've been playing since Beta, so I've seen a LOT of cards.

I'll narrow them down to favorites by "genre":

Favorite Artifact - [mtg_card=The Rack] or [mtg_card=Arcbound Ravager]

Favorite Green Card - [mtg_card=Sylvan Library]

Favorite Blue Card - [mtg_card=Thoughtcast] or [mtg_card=Brainstorm]

Favorite White Card - [mtg_card=Swords to Plowshares] or [mtg_card=Solitary Confinement]

Favorite Black Card - [mtg_card=Necropotence]

Favorite Red Card - [mtg_card=Lightning Bolt]

Favorite Gold Card - [mtg_card=Pernicious Deed] (maybe. might have to rethink this one)

Favorite Planeswalker - [mtg_card=Karn Liberated]

Favorite "Win Card that's unlikely to ever resolve" - [mtg_card=Door to Nothingness]

It may just be nostogia, but I really liked [mtg_card=Taste for Mayhem] back from Dissension. Sure, [mtg_card=Deviant Glee] may be a successor to it, but it doesn't have the same suicidal power that Mayhem did...

I love the unglued set... but if I have to pick just one card, I'd go with Burning Cinder Fury of Crimson Chaos Fire.

Whenever any player taps a card, that player gives control of that
card to an opponent at end of turn.
If a player does not tap any nonland cards during his or her turn,
Burning Cinder Fury of Crimson Chaos Fire deals 3 damage to that
player at end of turn.
The sheer randomness it created was always hilarious.

These three were the biggest pains in the arse in my whole Red/White deck. I never managed to play them properly because I was casual as hell as you can tell by how long its been since I played.

Loved the art though.

[mtg_card=Force of Will] is just straight up awesome. Being tapped out and countering your opponents win-con regardless is some of the best fun you can have in that game.

Blue/white can be pretty troll-y.

"I play-"
"Countered."
"Well, I attack with-"
"I block" *plays white card* "He has protection."

Problem?

Hence why I try to keep at least a couple 'fuck everything' cards in every deck. Usually a nasty field nuke. Though I do want to build a deck with a card (that I don't remember the name of, sadly) which had the delightful ability of effectively shuffling and redistributing all the permanents in play. >:3

[mtg_card=Decimator Web]

I love this card based on the pure flavorness and straightforwardness of the card. It decimates you! How cool is that??

Well, the best card is Stoneforge Mystic.

* Great art.
* Sneaks stuff around counterspells.
* Gives you card advantage.
* Pretty good flavor.
* Is legacy playable and doesn't cost a million bucks.

Man, it's been about ten years since I played MTG.

Anyway...



Always a classic.

"I put out my 15/15 with trample and unkillable-ness."
"Counterspell."
"I burn your everything!"
"Counterspell."
"I execute my mega combo that plays every card in my deck in a single turn!"
"Counterspell."
Ah Counterspell, love that card mine would have to be Stanstill http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29936

I'm going to say it.......



Because I loved my old stasis deck with a passion.

Although probably my actual favourite card is this:

Favourite colour combination (U/R) and I love the random nature of it with a big payoff if you get lucky and the flavour text is great.
Great for trolling "pros".

Hmmm... favorate cards... well, as a mad Johnny bastard I've allways had a soft spot for crazy "build around" cards. My current favorite in Standard has to be Deadeye Navigator simply for all the crazy infinate combos you can pull off with him. But my favorate of all time may just have to be Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle. I BEAT YOU DEATH WITH LAND!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mtg_card=Goldenglow Moth]. I've come a long way in how I build decks, but I still love this card for some reason. Like many new players, I first gravitated towards life gain, and people would find it so frustrating when I blocked with the moth and then gave it say [mtg_card=Righteousness].

My favorite card right now though is [mtg_card=Silverblade Paladin].

Rakdos Ickspitter. Why? I dunno. I just like it. Good damage dealing effect, cool design, from the Rakdos guild.

It's not even that great. I just like it.
