[JohnSmith-hsez]

The best 3 drop is 110% necropotence. It lets you draw like half your deck the turn it comes down.

[austinbentley]

Seth: Wheel is the best 3 drop because it draws 7 cards
Tomer: Rhystic Studies is the best 3 drop because it draws 9-12 cards

Necropotence drawing half your library: Am I a joke to you ?

[beelor]

I'm surprised colossal dreadmaw didn't get a mention. Its so good it had to be reprinted like 10 times to keep the prices low.

[edhdeckbuilding]

richard's voice is so needed here. i love it. completely agree on dockside.

[caasIsirhC]

I'm surprised Thassa's Oracle wasn't in the running as a 2 drop.

[okin]

3drops: I think they value teferi's impact too high. Having rhystic study in your deck wins you more games but you remember when teferis wins you a game.

It's like in Poker: I'd rather have pocket Jacks, than KQ suited.

[AxillaryPower]

A little disappointed that Jeska's Will didn't come up for the three drop section. I'd put it ahead of eternal witness and wheel of fortune, and maybe comes close to rhystic study.

[erikbraun]

Maybe it's just my playstyle or lack of times being blown out by teferis protection but Yawgmoths Will or Necropotence feel way stronger at 3 cost than teferis protection.

[xenosai]

I’m surprised that at 6 cmc Bolas’ Citadel wasn’t mentioned

[alwaysplaythegame]

Necropotence, Rhystic Study and Wheel of Fortune are amazing. I don't think Teferi's Protection is close to as good as those. Necro is #1.

[lxkas]

i think demonic tutor has a chance in the 2 cmc slot.

[happyzombie]

Wait did Tomer just always play against cheating Kodama players? Its ability does not go infinite with a bounce land at all. You can't just dump all your lands either as the ability states "if it wasn't put onto the battlefield with this ability". So I think the evaluation is a bit off there.

[guilhermebasso]

Odd omissions:
1. Vampiric Tutor and Reanimate;
2. Sylvan Library and Underworld Breach;
3. Necropotence and Yawgmoth's Will;
4. Culling Ritual;
5. Ad Nauseam.

[atticusmcdonald]

The zof consumption flicker before consecrated sphinx had me dead.

[rteishe]

Necropotence straight up wins games when it resolves at the 3 drop spot (if you know how to play it...the card does have a bit of a learning curve). Feel like it at least deserved a mention at the 3cmc spot

[DDPMonster]

The best 7 drop is 100% Tooth and Nail. Entwined it just says win the game.

[OlAgony]

I think there's an argument for Ad Nauseam on 5 drop and Peer into the Abyss on 7

[metaphics]

I’ve been really impressed with hullbreaker horror at the 7 drop. Most threats at that level are looking for ways to control or close out the game, and hullbreaker can’t be countered, and then counters threats very well with cantrips. At 7 power he’s also putting pressure on opponents life totals.

[themage]

Just because I haven't seen any comments on this yet I am surprised nobody mentioned ad nauseam as at least a contender for the most broken 5 drop - usually when ad naus resolves it means the person who resolved it wins the game.

[ikepetro]

Im suprised no one mentioned protean hulk for the 7 drop. Its very easy to build your deck in a way that lets you just win when it dies, and otherwise its board wipe insurance and just provides tons of value.
