In Magic: the Gathering, Five-Color Cards can be hard to cast, but the payoff is often worth it! In this video, I take a look at the 5-color cards that have left the biggest impact on competitive Magic.

I find it funny that the thing that dethrones Kenrith is an elk. Oko would be proud.

I went back to the previous list for top 10 WUBRG identity cards.

Your prediction 4 years ago about Jegantha gaining a whole bunch of points was accurate.

[memyself]

I know they’re terrible, but as someone who started during invasion block, cromat and last stand will always have a special place in my heart lol

[Crunchatize_Me_Senpai]

I kinda hate how fast power creep has skyrocketed, but one good thing about it is that it majorly renews a lot of your older lists.

[adrianspiby]

I really like that you put Compulsive Golem and Conflux in the intro. I know you did it on purpose! I also had a 5 colour deck with those cards, others, and Porgenitus when I was younger.

[brianwells]

A top ten 4 color would be interesting if you haven’t done that before.

[SmugLookingBarrel]

While I didn't expect anything else, I'm kind of sad that one of my least favourite cards in magic got the number one spot, the vanilla 5/5 that people only play because there's literally no reason not to.

Sliver Queen is to this day my all-time favorite Magic card. I remember opening her in a pack back in 1998 and I instantly fell in love

[venkelos]

I was actually looking forward to this list, since EDH usually has so little to do these Best of...lists, but it made me wonder then, in other formats, how valuable do WUBRG cards tend to be? In EDH, they are both helpful, and hindering, since you need those mana identity pips to be able to add other cards of those colors, and with 99 cards, you have more room, in a slower format, to stuff in the mana base WUBRG needs, but in other formats, they do almost seem like they would be more liability, with smaller decks, fewer unique names needed, and such. Cool to see how they fare with more freedom, but possibly less support.

With all the banning of cards around Kenrith without him getting banned, I'm surprised nobodies said it.

Long live the king.

[martinrosschou]

Is there lists for the BEST Modern Cards in Magic: the Gathering?
Or perhaps even the BEST 10 Cards in all of Magic: the Gathering, using the same point system.
Such lists would be amazing imo

[dyne]

I find it interesting that "O-Kagachi Mae Manifest" isn't legendary.

I guess they didn't want to deal with it as maybe a commander in EDH.

[TheKalaxis]

My commander and his companion are the top 2. Nice!

[Ijustcomment]

I think it’s also noteworthy that even if you can’t cast jengantha, if your deck allows him he reduces your deck limit to 59, making it just a wee bit more consistent

[hitmangfx]

Kenrith was always a card I could pick up late in MTGO drafts. He wasn't the most powerful thing around, but he often came down, only required one white mana and could contribute. Late game, with lots of mana, I would love casting him, using black activation once or twice, then the red activation. gg

[FlawlessRythym]

14:31 You mentioned he can gain YOU 5 life but then target player draws a card. My buddy built Kenrith as a commander with the intent on making opponents "gain" life with Tainted Remedy. Of course, it's not the decks only win con, but it sure is his favorite! Lol.

[rpriske]

The way that Invasion of Alara works is stupid. They should fit it just like they fixed Cascade.

[shanavalkyria]

Enduring ideal...i ran that for awhile with hivemind to lock everyone into playing only enchantments lol only got it of a few tims expensive cmc jank. i play commander though

[TN]

At our table I used to run a janky landwalk deck with a ton of 2 drops of each landfall (except plains, I had to use the 4 drop antelope for thay but at least it lets u give plains to other players as long as 1 person has a plains) but the pride of the deck were the nonbasic landwalk equipment n Ayumi, the Last Visitor who is a 7/3 legendary spirit for 3GG with legendary landwalk. So I'd use the Genju to put it on my opponent's land n then make it a 8/12 legendary creature land til EoT n seing for 7 unblockable 😹

[explosionpills]

Funny that Kenrith ended up in so many banned decks. Maybe he’s the one who should have been banned after all…
