Hey guys I've always been interested in finding out some of your personal favorites. This will be a weekly -to- biweekly thing. This week instants! Tell me top 10 favorite instants. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EXCLUDE POWER NINE FOR THESE POSTS! You can mention where it would be if you would like please exclude it from the general list. The only reason is I don't want to see moxs all down the list when we get to artifacts. Thank you! :)
It would be appreciated to give a reason of why you personally love the card. Please number your list 1-10 and thank you for posting! :)
1im going to have to think on this one. Ill update my list throughout the week. (Plus, I don't remember all the names, since some of them I haven't used for a long time.)
10. {mystic genesis}: counter spell and an ooze. I'm a fan of oozes
9. {holy day}: back when I had my rebel deck. I was frustrated with how inflexible it was. I mean, they thin the deck out. You should be able to add some variety. Holy day provided that variety. I found 10 uses for it that helped me make it good. Granted 4 were one-shot-wonders. But still, good card
8. The research of {research/development}: in casual format, you can make a battle of wits deck with only 60 cards with it.
7. {truth or tale}: good card. Helps get what you need.
I would like to remind everyone that we are dealing with instants. NOT sorceries. Sorry for the interruption, please keep posting! :)

{Lightning Helix}
1) {Counterspell}
2) {Force of Will}
3) {Brainstorm}
4) {Mystical Tutor}
5) {Vampiric Tutor}
6) {Mana Drain}
7) {Orim's Chant}
8) {Dark Ritual}
9) {Enlightened Tutor}
10) {Angel's Grace}
1.) {Force of Will}
A counterspell being available while tapped out makes your opponents think twice before casting that game changing card.
2.) {Swords to Plowshares}
Condition free removal at it's best.
3.) {Brainstorm}
Outside of ancestral recall, probably the best one drop card advantage.
4.) {Fire // Ice}
{Isochron scepter}, anyone?
5.) {Vampiric Tutor}
Any card in your deck for 2 life. Even better than {Demonic tutor} imho.
6.) {Sphinx's Revelation}
Draw X and gain X life? If it wasnt multicolored or cost 3 would be broken.
7.) {Mana Drain}
Counter and gain mana, incredibly overpowered.
8.) {Berserk}
Brings me back to the days of {Blood lust} + {Giant Growth}
9.) {Orim's Chant}
Wait, i can't do what?
10.) {Fact or Fiction}
Pick a pile, any pile. Win - win.
