    Re: Top 10 most feared creatures in Legacy

    This is a good question. Creatures of Fear:

    Fear
    Dread
    Face of Fear
    Shinen of Fear's Chill
    Dread Reaper
    Dread Slag
    Dread Specter
    Dread Warlock
    Dread Wight
    Dreadwing
    Phyrexian Dreadnought
    Visara the Dreadful


    Cards scare me all the time. Generally, in these cases, one should chant/scream/whisper/silently ponder the Litany Against Fear. =)

    Seriously though, I'm not sure what you mean by 'fear'. Do you mean: What changes the metagame? What people hate? What is frustrating? What are the best 10 creatures in Legacy? Does this include the cost to put it into play and use it?



    peace,
    4eak

    Re: Top 10 most feared creatures in Legacy

    Dark confidant hands down is my most feared creature in Legacy. Ask yourself this, nothing significant has happened for the first 4 turns of the game and your opponent just casts dark confidant and tarmogoyf, you have a plow in hand, which one do you plow?

    1. dark confidant
    2. progenitus
    3. tombstalker/ tarmogoyf
    Tarmogoyf
    A powerful Magic the Gathering card. Its power and toughness are so ridiculously high that people continuously ask, "How big is tarmogoyf?"

    Re: Top 10 most feared creatures in Legacy

    This greatly depends on the deck you are playing, but this IMOP is the top 10:

    1. Iona
    2. Goblin Lackey
    3. Xantid Swarm - Answer it or lose fast cause ur about to see 9+ spells and Tendrils or a Belcher
    4. Tireless Tribe/Putrid Imp - Since u know ur playing against dredge
    5. Magus of the Moon
    6. Tombstalker
    7. Goblin Ringleader
    8. Gaddock Teeg
    9. Sower of Temptation
    10. Magus of the Tabernacle - Cause u know its Stax

    If you genuinely fear Goyf ur playing the wrong format. Its just some stupid green creature that is answered by every form of removal in the format. And Progenitus .... they have to Natural Order into it, if you aren't destroying opponent's creatures, disrupting their hand, or counting storm, IMOP you are playing the wrong deck. But I am heavily biased towards certain archetypes.

    9) Trinket Mage into Chalice of the Void?
    10) Glen Elendra Archmage with 2 blue mana open?

    Re: Top 10 most feared creatures in Legacy

    If your question is what am “I” as a legacy player afraid of.
    1. Bob
    This guy should have had dranlu’s negative ability stuck on him for equality. Drawing this guy in the beginning middle or end of a game is rarely fair.
    2. Gatekeeper
    Coincidence that the 1st and second creatures on my list are the first and second best black creatures probably ever printed? Thank god only noobs play with black Joe.
    3. Jotun Grunt
    If Landstill were viable in the format I wouldn’t look at this card twice, but because it’s soo hard to beat as a secondary threat in an aggressive format I would just like to say suck it coldsnap for counterbalance and Jotun grunt in that order.
    4. Lavamancer
    I really don’t like cards that 2-1 opponents by cleaning up graveyards “relic is an exception because it nukes both which is ok by me.” Lavamancer just barely makes the top 4 because I appreciate how it nukes virtually every threat minus 10 on this list.
    5. Noble Hierarch
    I love noble hierarch so much because of the tempo plays you can make with it that are soo amazing it’s unreal. Daze/waste/ let them stp or path it/ t2 rhox or goyf or clique. So powerful. Always a threat. Wins games.
    6. Magus of the Moon
    It’s always satisfying to watch decks with shitty landbases get smoked by a bloodmoon on a stick. I can’t wait till wotc smartens up and gives a new layout to this guy with shroud, huar huar huar!
    7. Your mom’s
    I don’t really fear this card as much as I hate it, but for all intensive purposes lets just say I hate how people say this card is soo good…. And then it gets taken out by an ee. I think the correct phrase should be “hey man, I just sploded all over your mom.”
    8. Xanted Swarm
    You keep the stps in and they side their swarms in x3. You have x4 stp, and you still don’t draw it… fuck It I quit this game of logic.
    9. Vendillion clique
    A true test of a legacy players endurance is how many fae decks he can come across on mws in a few weeks of testing and how many WAIT WAIT DRAW STEP WAIT WAIT you can handle before you blow a nugget when they choose the wrong card to ship to your bottom. That’s why mws testings for champs boys!

    10. Dreadnaught.
    This would be substantially higher but every time I lose to naught it’s so quick the fear is over and then I get to sideboard .

    Some claim that there are others creatures in this format. After careful examination, I've concluded that they are mistaken.

    P.S. If you're not afraid of Emrakul, you've yet to have it Show & Tell'd into play against you.
    I won against a Show & Tell'd Emrakul once, but I was playing Dredge with a number of tokens out for surviving the first smash, and won in my next turn. I've lost against it a lot more, though.

    Doubt Gatekeeper is 2nd best black guy of all time. Top 10 maybe, not number 2.

    There are

    Vampire Nighthawk
    Juzam Djinn
    Phyrexian Negator
    Nantuko Shade
    Hypnotic Specter
    Abyssal Persecutor
    Tombstalker

    All of these (except Persecutor and Nighthawk, fellow new recruits) have seen more play than Gatekeeper has. Persecutor and Nighthawk have comparable potential, and while Juzam, Hyppie, and Negator are largely obsolete now, the impact they have had on the format is immense.
