What are the games best one-drops

Mlerner12

{Vexing Devil}, and then the whole boon cycle. Vexing is the BEST though.

Yeah...{Vexing Devil} is soooo much better than {Ancestral Recall}...

I agree with Monekah, we need a sarcasm font

I like it more... A 4/3 for one. That is awesome.  OR they lose four life, turn 1. That is WAY better than ancestral recall!!!!!!

There are a lot of 1-drops that enable sweet things to happen, like {Entomb}, {Glimpse of Nature}, and {Dark Ritual}. But as for raw power, I think {Ancestral Recall} takes the cake.

First of all, what are smoking and why aren't you sharing. Secondly, unless you have a {Searing Spear} or {Lightning Bolt} in hand, you take the 4 from a turn 1 {Vexing Devil}. {Ancestral Recall}, you draw 3 cards.

The reason I am asking is I want to make a one-drop and lower deck. It won't be legal in any format and I will have to use a lot of proxies but it will definitely be fun. Right now I am thinking Grixis. {Ancestral Recall}, {Dark Ritual}, {Lightning Bolt}, {Vexing Devil}, {Black Lotus}... Also thinking of going to 2 or three and down to include {Bob} and some other fun stuff.

{Lightning Bolt} is the only answer.

Now I am thinking of going America Control. {Swords to Plowshares}, {Path to Exile}, {Lightning Bolt}, {Ancestral Recall}, {Brainstorm}, {Vexing Devil}...

If you went America, then you wouldn't have {Form of the squirrel}!

{Noble Heirach}
{Mother of Runes}

How are those better than {Ancestral Recall}, except in some niche situations? (miracles is the only exception I could think of!)

Um because ancestral recall has been banned since the start pretty much? If you can use a card in more formats, it adds to it's power in my opinion

OP never asked about a specific format. He asked about the best one drops in the game, period.

And I just told you that I think a card is more powerful if you can use it in multiple formats. Can you read? Why do you have a vendetta against me?
