I thought this would be an interesting thing to do after a block is fully rolled out. What do you think is the best new card from Theros-Born of the Gods-Journey Into Nyx? (New, meaning you can't pick a reprint)

I would have to say {Prophet of Kruphix} because flash and untap is amazing and it should be in every deck ever.

I'm gonna agree, but state that  {Stormbreath Dragon} and  {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} are preeeeetttttyyy f'n good.

I'd say it's these two:  {Courser of Kruphix} and  {Master of Waves}
Courser is aggressive costed in my opinion with a fat butt. He gives you knowledge and can help sculpt you turns and land drops. He is a staple in any green deck in Standard and is seeing play in Jund decks in Modern.
Master can flat out win games. Finisher in both standard Mono-Blue and Modern Merfolk. He gives Merfolk something they were lacking. He can take a deck that is being defensive to suddenly being the aggressor. And Pro-Red helps.

Note: I am somewhat biased on these cards, as I heavily play both of them.

{Pillarfield Ox}? Definitely.
It's a reprint! This is why I said no reprints! {Pillarfield Ox} is part of the power nine along with {Storm Crow}, its not fair to compare the rest of the block to him.

No, I defintely agree that these, {Elspeth, Sun's Champion} and {Prophet of Kruphix} make up the top 5.

I killed beat someone with a {pillarfield ox} during theros prerelease... I swung with it, and he decided not to block it. (He instead double blocked my fatty with three bestow creatures on it, so that thy would trade, and I {aspect of hydra}'d the ox for +5/+5... We laughed for awhiled

{Yoked Ox} is a beast!

Courser and prophet would be my top 2, nykthos and Heros downfall are pretty good too.

i think courser will have most long term value but for edh prophet is best.

Otherwise, though, I just love KERANOS. Hardcore Izzet player loves that free bolt/extra card... Need one for EDH. Turn shenanigans baby!
