I love [Oil-Gorger Troll]. ONE was one of my favorite draft environments, and I really loved the oil counter mechanic. I keep a very jank oil based edh deck around. He won me a bunch of games in draft, I love the art, and the “flavor” text (get it?) cracks me up.
What card sparks joy for you and why?
Not only do I love the art, but the ability at the time was fairly unheard of. It is way overcosted now. But still such a fun card.
I know that thats foam, but my brain says he is eating popcorn and loving it
To be fair, that is how I look when I eat popcorn.

The art, the solid mana cost and the frame colors make it an aesthetically very pleasing card, but when it was revealed I figured it would be a good draft card but not playable in Standard. But it turned out to be a fantastic stabilizing card in Esper Hero and punched way above its weight as an uncommon. GRN/RNA was also just a great era for Standard so it’s tied to good memories from that time as well.
Yeah thats a dope looking card. Always love seeing non-generic mana costs, even though I know it makes the card worse.
Gravecrawler for me. Always loved zombie decks and how annoying these were to fight.
Ah the lynchpin of my [[Varina, Lich Queen]] deck! I really enjoy one drops, especially when they do that much work.
Once Upon a Time is perhaps the greatest gameplay-flavor integration win Magic has ever had. For a while, standard matches all began with someone saying the name of the card.
I’ll always have fond memories of [[Aurochs Herd]]. I know a lot of people don’t like Coldsnap draft, but I’ll play it anytime, and I’ll probably try to force green.
I love it! Makes me want to put together a jank 40 card tribal. Doesnt seem like it’d be expensive…

I love Wash Out, it’s a real game changer in monoblue.
Oh yeah my friends hate that card in my [[Naban, Dean of Iteration]] deck
