What would be the Modern Power 9?

[BlackJester]

Is that for Standard or Modern?

[Coffee Vampire]

IMHO creatures that don't have an immediate effect do not deserve power titles. Obliterator is my go-to creature of all time, but I don't think he belongs on the p9 list of standard.

[BlackJester]

Standard.

A) This list will change in about a month

B) Stoneforge is not in Standard 😜

Am I missing anything?

With the exception of {Snapcaster Mage} and {Bonefire of the Damned} I really don't think any of  those cards are overpowered.

Wizards does do its best to not make overpowered cards these days. Power 9, not overpowered 9

[Mr.FireArmor]

I'm a green player so mana ramp is my thing and to be honest if one of the following cards come out on my field that's game so my list goes. 1. Rofellos the Llanowar Emissary  2. Gauntlet of power 3. Mana Reflection 4. Doubling Cube 4. Caged Sun 5. Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger 6. Extraplanar Lens 7. Drowned Catacombs 8. Primordial Hydra 9. Gelatinous Genesis which oddly enough is a card most people hate but before u hate it u should really look at it is all I'm sayin

[cltrn81]

That is a good idea.  Rate your power 9's by color.  I agree with a lot of those green power 9 but {green sun zenith} takes the cake on my green list......well after {Runeclaw bear} 😜

{U} Power 9 / Legacy
{force of will}

No {mana drain}? It's arguably the worst of the bunch.

Edit: I see what you did there. Blue counters are the glue that keep Legacy together

{mana drain} is not Legacy legal.....my list is just Legacy

Gelatinous Genesis still makes any "p-9" list I'm just saying no other card in magic is as flexible or as powerful. Let me make my case 5 mana 2 2,2s +1 card advantage. 7 3 3,3s + 2ca then high end lets say 15 mana is 7 7,7s +6 to card advantage no other card in magic that can do that I rest my case

You're right, by gum!  It's a good thing there's no way to kill all 7 7/7's for 15{R} in standard right now, undoing the card advantage.

Darn this pesky sore throat. 😷
