Oh sorry. {Counterspell} is my answer. It has just been such a staple of control decks from the beginning and continues to see play in legacy to this date. Just such a great card that has done great things for this game.

What's the new dragon maze one that basically reflects the spell at the opponent?...

Ok it's not dragon maze...basically it's an instant.
And pretty much says
"Change the target of sorcery or enchantment cast this turn" or something to that effect

Post by: Silent1236 on May 13, 2013, 08:11:08 PM
Ahh! Difficult questions coming from the fine folk of iMtG today!  If I were to choose one single card, I think I'd have to go with......
{Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}.

I really love {Vampire Nocturnus}, but I've had Emrakul for a long time and he's never left a deck.  Always been in a deck and always been one of the most fun and interesting cards to drop.  Just watching my opponent's hope of winning drop as I tap for 15 mana is a great feeling :P

He's too slow, really.  You can use {Dark Ritual} to get to him a bit faster, but I'd rather just drop a {Vampire Nocturnus} for an immediate board boost.

I have to say {birds of paradise}.  We've been through thick and thin. Green was what i started with. But who likes to be limited to just one colour. Not me. Answer? Birds.

What a trooper...

Post by: Death Gaara on May 13, 2013, 11:53:37 PM
{Time Sieve} is probably my favorite card in the game. Do not ask me why. The card is terrible. But I just love the card so much. I have built so many decks around it that I cannot even remember how many different iterations of the deck I have played.
Title: Re: Single favorite card.
Post by: ZeroNero on May 14, 2013, 03:46:00 AM
Hmmm it's a tough one... I would have to say it's a tie between  {Dakkon Blackblade},  {Hypnox}, and  {Treva, the Renewer}. I honestly couldn't say why other than nostalgia. Brings back memories when I was first getting into MtG with my cousin.

I am personally quite fond of {Brightflame}, partially because of its effect, and partially because a guy I play with hates it so much.

Honorable mentions:
{fog}
{Darksteel Forge}
Title: Re: Single favorite card.
Post by: Destore117 on May 14, 2013, 04:29:56 PM
I really was looking for a #1 but lot of these I couldn't choose which is best to be honest.
However a kid in my school strongly believes his {Master of Cruelties} and {Ral Zarek} are the best when they can easily be countered by remove permanents -.-

It's better and worse, it can be used as a board wipe, goes back into your deck and can kill indestructible creatures, but damnation just costs less for more.

Agreed.

 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} of course. While expensive, extremely overpowered. Beats just about any spell there is.

Hmm... I answered before but i am changing it :)

1. {The Mimeoplasm} - you can just do torn down broken thinks with this guy. He is amazing as my commander!!

And i just feel like listing the rest so here

2. {Kokusho, The Evening Star} - this guy is just awesome in edh and can destroy people!!

3. {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} - This guys is rediculous!!! 10 mana for a 12/12 that gives you 4 cards. Just insane!!

4. {Voice of Resurgence} - he is a beast in many decks. He has such a fast paced tempo that control decks cant keep up an no matter what you are getting a creature to stick.

5. {Ral Zarek} - me an him are like eachother. In my heart (Cheezy) i am pure izzet. I like ral as a pw and his card is just awesome to play. It is fun and just seems like a crazy, casual pw.

I'm still kinda new to magic but my favorite enchantment may be  {Akroma's Memorial}. Only thing bad about Akroma is the cost. 

I'm not for sure about my favorite creature but  {Invisible Stalker} seems to work out okay when I need it to.

I would have won that game I mentioned with the ascended Lawmage but I forgot he had first strike. So we destroyed both our creatures when one of my opponents blocked with an 8/8 dragon. And since ascended Lawmage was only a 9/7 with the blade. Sad day.
