>>49877463
Gideon and Ulamog were released last year, bro

>>49877520
>one entire noncreature spell in that list

Bravo Wizards

>>49877517
>Liliana in the top 10
>Nahiri honorable mention
>Enemy fucking fastlands in the top 10

Lolwut

>>49877557
2, actually. Planeswalkers are not creatures.

>>49877520
I can agree with most of this list.

>>49877535
Holy shit, times go by.

So probably Recruiter of the Guard and Thalia's Liutenant.

>>49877520
Been going over it and I agree with most of the choices, I find it really hard to prune that list down to 10 while any cards I'd like to add are less impactful than these

>>49877663
You can cut everything that will only impact standard and you will have a top 10 list.

>>49877520
Eldrazi Mimic shouldn't be on that list. It had zero impact on standard and wouldn't be played without TKS or Reality Smasher to make it better.

Ishkanah and Westvale Abbey shouldn't be there either and Dank Dwellers is pretty questionable.

>>49877562
1. Liliana is the best 3 mana walker Standard has gotten since Ashiok, a card I most certainly consider a top 10 card of 2013, the year Theros came out. Not to mention it's the closest we're EVER going to get to a Standard-legal Liliana of the Veil reprint., at least in the foreseeable future. Seems pretty good to me.

2. Nahiri is a card similar to Primeval Titan, as in, on it's own, it's a very average Planeswalker. Just as Prime Time would have been the worst M11 Titan had it not been for Valakut and Kessig Wolf Run, Nahiri would have been about even with Ob and Sorin had it not been for the existence of old Emrakul. It's not the card itself that's good, it's the synergy with other cards.

3. Fastlands are the third most played land cycle in the Modern format, next to only Fetchlands and Shocklands. Why wouldn't the long-awaited enemy cycle be in the top 10?

>>49877520
Grim Flayer isn't a scam though

>>49877866
Yeah, except Nahiri was fucking designed to work with OG Emrakul.
There is no bad in theory, good in pratice. If it's good in pratice, the theory is outright wrong.

>>49878003
...That's literally the same thing as Prime Time. Prime Time sucks, Valakut and Wolf Run were just OP. Likewise, Nahrii sucks, Emrakul is just OP.

>>49877849
>this terrible opinion
You realize that Westvale is basically an edh staple in any black token deck, which is like half of all black decks, right? It's hilariously good.

Also:
>implying you mimic those baby shoes eldrazi in any non-retarded format when it specifies colourless creature

>>49878046
>Primeval Titan sucks
>Card interaction with others don't add value to it's power
Found the Junk player

>>49878046
Flash sucks without Protean Hulk, Dark Depths sucks without Thespian's Stage or Vampire Hexmage, and Natural Order sucks without Progenitus or Craterhoof Behemoth. Are those cards shit too?
