If we're talking most iconic in general than it is Black lotus even non MTG players know that it is valuable.

Among actual MTG players i think Eternal Witness is up there for me.

Played her in Tooth and Nail back in the day, my first competetive deck. 13 years have gone so fast.

I'd have agree with Serra Angel. Not only it had great art for the time, it was a powerhouse back then.

pic related comes second.

>>52699260

I have a signed Douglas Schuler Serra Angle. It's pretty baller.

Is this thread about just stuff that's iconic to us? If that's the case, I'd have to say Marrow-Gnawer. I loved the idea of a rat deck back when I was in high school, and I spent fucking forever after Kamigawa came out putting one together. Marrow-Gnawer was always my centerpiece.

Lighting Bolt

Jace
Power Nine

Counterspell

I was always partial to Leviathan. It's just so amazingly ominous looking.

>>52699260
serra angel is a good one

craw wurm is another one for me, when my friends and i first started playing craw wurm was like THE big creature that struck fear into everyone else playing the game

miss those days

This is the one that I think of when I think of old school Magic cards.

To me they're, in order, Black Lotus, Lightning Bolt and Serra Angel. Honorable mention to Counterspell.

>>52707296

I remember when that was $20 and duals were $5...

There was a sweet ass poster of ink-eyes in my lgs back when I played duel masters, it always felt iconic and stuck with me

Megatog had a poster too

I'm with you guys on the Serra, the Shivan and the lightning bolt, but for me it was this guy.
I was in Jr. High and he was the thing that helped me first play magic.

Most probably pic related. Even amongst other TCGs in general a mechanic of countering your opponent's cards before they hit the field is still rather novel to MTG.

Mother FUCKING Black Lotus.
I've never seen a Black Lotus IRL, I've never seen a Black Lotus played in-game, and yet nevertheless it is the defining, quintessential card that MTG persists under, in memory and spirit. To hold a Black Lotus is to clutch the world.
Black Lotus is Magic and Magic is Black Lotus.

For me it's the Raging Goblin. The most iconic of Magic Cards.

>>52703196
35 000$ if I recall well

>>52710596
Kind of. He was on of the early marquee cards. But he was impossibly rare to get a hold of even when I started playing. Never reprinted and all.

Barring Black Lotus / Lightning Bolt / Time Walk, Silver Myr is most iconic for me personally.

I watched some kids play Magic way back in elementary school, before I got in to it this was the only card I remembered.

Akroma, Angel of wrath.
Broodstar.
Darksteel colossus.
Phytohydra.

Most of the Mirrodin/Darksteel/Fifth Dawn block.
Most of Scourge/Legions/Onslaught.

Invasion.

Too many to count.

He used to be iconic and valuable because he was useful and rare. Then he got BTFO by Carnophage, Negator and Scuta. Now he's just a hard to get meme card.

Black Lotus is THE Magic card. It's a card everyone knows about if they ever heard anything about collectible card games.

If you go beyond that, all the cards that were heavily hyped, used in the early advertising or otherwise appeared a lot in art are pretty memorable and iconic.

Serra Angel, Hurloon Minotaur, Force of Nature, Shivan Dragon, Llanowar Elves, Sengir Vampire, Lord of the Pit and more all qualify.

This.

>Serra Angel, Shivan Dragon, & Sengir Vampire
These were the three icons when I started playing.
To date, my favorite move is still the first turn Sengir drop with two dark rituals.

Also not yet mentioned: Sol Ring.

Do you guys remember when Comedy Central used to air MtG commercials? This was during '99. First one I saw featured Raging Goblin. I'll always associate that card.

>>52710596
I have an oversized version of this guy. I wonder if its worth anything.

Guys I think the answer is this. For some reason... I think it was like.. The strongest creature in some mono green precon? I've heard so many people mention this card.

Power Nine are iconic for everybody

Otherwise it depends on when you started playing.
