Cards to be looking for

[TheUglyKnight]

alright I'm looking for important cards I need to be getting a hold of again preferably commons and uncommons. The kind of stuff you don't want to be without. Counterspell, Sakura-Tribe Elder, blastoderm. That kinda thing post'em and help me out. This isn't really a trade thread as I'm not looking to trade I'm more looking for you all to help me make a wish list.

Sort of like the staple cards that you'd want to include in any deck with the right colors. Obviously, this will vary depending on your playing style, but here's some recent cards off the top of my head that I use in a lot of decks:

Mana-Fixers
Sakura-Tribe Elder
Kodama's Reach
Rampant Growth
Llanowar Elves

Creature Removal
Terror
Dark Banishing
Rend Flesh
Pacifism
Pillory of the Sleepless

Bounce
Boomerang
Repeal

Discard
Distress
Coercion
Castigate

Direct Damage
Shock
Lightning Helix

Utility
Naturalize
Putrefy
Mortify

And depending on what you're looking for, there's a whole bunch or other cards I could name - card drawing, control, graveyard recursion, evasion, efficient creatures, etc.

Two of my personal favorite "can't live without" cards are Isochron Scepter and Eternal Witness.

Turgy's list differs from mine a lot because I am a chump. So I won't bother not listing cards he already covered. Also, how did this thread wind up in classic questions?

Anyway, I'll probably leave out something important and list the same thing twice...

My personal favorite is the one from Tempest.

 

[Killer Joe]

What, THAT raggidy yucky version? Nope. I like the seeing that the vial, of the Saga one, is being filled with Goblin blood trickling from his dead body.

Do you mean the Thrull hand being drained in the Saga version?
