Random Gatherer Card o’ the Week:

demon's horn


Question of the Week:

  • The mothership had a great article primer on Elementals in Magic. What are your top twelve (ten is overrated, and overused) favorite Elementals?

Adam:

  1. Omnath, Locus of Rage: I’m calling it now, even though I haven’t played with it yet. This is going to be a great commander.

  2. Animar, Soul of Elements: Yet another great commander.

  3. Corrosive Mentor: Shadowmoor. I love giving all my black stuff wither.

  4. Flickerwisp: I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Elemental that also blinks-- my favorite mechanic in Magic.

  5. Titania, Protector of Argoth: Again, such an awesome Commander. Such a great card to include in various decks like Sidisi, the new Omnath, the newer Borborygmos, etc.

  6. Stenchskipper: I have a predilection for an all-black Changelings deck, and an all-black Goblins deck. This card has been a game winner numerous times in both.

  7. Void Stalker: Yay blue removal on a creature!

  8. Vigor has always been a great build-around-me card.

  9. Stigma Lasher: I can’t not love this card.

  10. Avenger of Zendikar. Sorry to go obvious, but this card is amazing.

  11. Mulldrifter. Also obvious. Also amazing.

  12. Verdant Force: As a lover of all things Saproling, this card really did it for me during Tempest era, and it still does it for me. Bonus! I love that there’s an “every upkeep” ‘Force’ for each color. Good job WOTC!


AJ:

  1. Ashling, the Extinguisher, good body, repeatedly kills things. Sold.

  2. Baleful Force, because Phyrexian Arena on your and all opponent’s turns on a gigantic body is good times.

  3. Blistering Firecat. Back in the early days of MTGO, I got online just about Legions time, and this little beauty has some great memories behind it.

  4. Crazed Firecat. Because I had this awesome Chance Encounter deck, and dropping this guy down with a (Krark’s Thumb) or two (via Mirror Gallery ) was some seriously good times.

  5. Dawn Elemental, because there was this time back on one of the early set betas where they accidentally made white mana = 0.

  6. Evershrike, because Rancor and being really annoying.

  7. Hoofprints of the Stag, because there was this brief period at the end of V2.5’s life when ‘Lorwyn Tribal’ was a thing, the shortest-lived online format, mirroring an offline version of standard tribal where tribal noncreatures counted for your deck. This was one of the lynchpins of my creatureless elemental deck for that format.

  8. Thornling, because one of these days there will be enough *lings for ling tribal. (Morph, Torch, Thorn, Aether and…?)

  9. Soulbright Flamekin, because Training Grounds and silly amounts of mana generation.

  10. Longhorn Firebeast in a heavy recursion deck. Fun times.

  11. Kulrath Knight, because of trying to work out the most obscure counters to cripple people with.

  12. Celestial Ancient, I had a deck with this, (Lucent Limnid) and some bouncy enchantments. Enchantment creature tribal decks improved somewhat with Theros block...



Whatcha been playin’:

Adam:. A whole lotta Stitcher Geralf games. AJ helped me with this deck.

AJ: Winning the weekend tribal with Eldrazi ramp, toying around with Recurring Nightmare Archons and something completely off the wall for this weekend’s event.

Haven't listened yet but I can't believe you didn't pick Reveillark for either list. Such an awesome amount of power in one card.

+11 elementals more: Deepfire Elemental, Horde of Notions, Thicket Elemental, Kulrath Knight, Pride of the Clouds, Avenger of Zendikar, Incandescent Soulstoke, Flamekin Harbinger, Ashling TP, and Ashling TE,
and Soul Snuffers.
