@@zilkay6558 I'll do you one better. DRS was almost always cast with black mana. It's barely even a green card.

Many years back, I had a pal who bought a Black Lotus just so he could try to pull off the infamous Channel Fireball turn one kill. After many failed attempts, during a match with me, he finally got the combo and a massive grin spread across his face. He sacked the Lotus for three green Mana, cast Channel and spent 19 life, tapped his Mountain, stood up and threw the Fireball onto the table saying something like "There it is! Boom baby, BOOM!". The problem was that I had gone first and had one Plains in play. I calmly tapped my Plains . . . and cast Heal. Heal prevents one measly point of damage. This is a card that no one plays, but I liked it since it replaced itself at the beginning of the next upkeep. We were both at one life. I ended up winning that game. Poor guy was livid. He sold the Black Lotus a few days later.

I remember a multiplayer game (this was years before commander) that included a guy that refused to accept Fastbond had any errata or rulings and only the printed text on the card. He claimed that by itself it let him play Stripmine from his graveyard every turn, including his opponent's turns. We responded by refusing to accept he was still in the game.

There are also infinite combos you could do with Fastbond. For example, with "Oboro, Palace in the Clouds", and a Ruin Crab, you can mill the opponent equal to three times your life, which is often enough to win the game.

You misunderstood the reason Survival Of The Fittest is powerful. If you have Survival in play with 3 green mana, and have Vengevine in hand, you can discard the Vengevine to grab a second Vengevine. Discard that to grab a Rootwalla. Discard that (and casting it) to grab a Hollow One. Then cast Hollow One for free, getting back two Vengevines. This gives you a total of 13 power. And for each extra green mana you have to spare, you can get an extra Vengevine.

The reason survival was broken eventually was vengevine and other graveyard based combo's coming about. On top of it all it's a 1 card combo, most combo's need multiple specific cards while survival does not it just needs mana and a starting creature to discard though that isn't really a requirement as survival decks are creature dense.

Back in the day there was a deck called black pudding, based off a previous version called full English breakfast. You would pay 1 green to SOTF to search for phage the untouchable, then dump that into the graveyard to get Volrath's shapeshifter then cast that, attack next turn for the win. It's not the combo that ever made SOTF powerful it's the fact it can toolbox an answer for any situation for 1 green mana and THEN combo then you opponent has been depleted.

People arguing Protean Hulk being the problem over Flash don't understand the concept of banning cards. Flash is the enabler. As long as it's around, all cards have to be designed with it in mind and designed around it. Thus it's better to ban that card. It's the same logic behind another banned card that was probably close to making this list, Green Sun's Zenith.

Flash is busted in many other ways - since etbs can be so strong - one simple use would be using it with something like woodfall primus destroys two permanents for 2 mana or a primeval titan. Meanwhile protean hulk is pretty useless if flash is banned. It's easier to ban flash rather than rebalance every ETB if flash is in the game

Amazing!!!!

As a legacy player, definitely don’t unban flash. Protean hulk is pretty balanced and flash is just the broken enabler.

'Vigor' is a real piece of work also

How much mana does it take to pass customs

Apex devastator is an honorable mention!

No Veil of Summer? :D Cards I would have considered are Natural Order, Scapeshift, Crop Rotation, Life from the Loam, Green Sun's Zenith, Collector Ouphe and Argothian Enchantress.

What about Seedborn Muse?

I think the strongest green card is the one that allows you to make a new life in another country. >.>

Honorable mention to Tarmogoyf.

Omnath Locus of mana is my personal favorite

This list is...interesting, but I would not say it's all that good. There are several omissions that stand out to me, such as Green Sun's Zenith, Glimpse of Nature, Sylvan Library, Worldly Tutor, Eureka, Hypergenesis, and Natural Order. Even Crop Rotation, or Beast Within which are deceptively powerful for how simple they are, would make for reasonable inclusions.

Birthing Pod is an interesting card, since it is legal in Legacy & Vintage.... It isn't played. Too powerful for Modern, too weak for Legacy? Or can we unban it so it will be played? You're incorrect why it was banned. It was used for getting Melira and Kitchen Finks. The Devoted Druid combo didn't even exist after Pod was banned. At 2:04 the text says that Legacy banned card Earthcraft is legal in said format. Another mistake.

GoN, Sylvan Library??

Channel should be ranked 1 below Fastbond Golgari Grave-Troll is stronger than both of them. It presents threats faster (fewer resources required in starting hand) and it was such a consistent deck off of Serum Powder that you only needed Bazaar to go off. It went manaless and the creatures it attacked with were often as not Bridge tokens not proper creature cards. Dredge was mainly on Green cards like Life from the Loam Shambling Shell and Grave-Troll and allowed you to reject all Green ways of doing things possibly as much as or more than Channel. And Dredge could beat Channel-Fireball. Was there another 0 cost Green card besides Grave-Troll? I don't think so. Force of Vigor? Endurance? Summoner's Pact? Hypergenesis? These are all good or banned in Modern and last I heard they don't make it in Legacy/Vintage quite the same way. Wait. Not Invigorate. Mutagenic Growth? Anyway. Survival of the Fittest and Hermit Druid are genuinely worth 2 mana. Oath of Druids makes the list too. And Protean Hulk. Birthing Pod is a turn 2 play even in Modern and easily turn 1 in Legacy its absurd. I do not know the combos for Earthcraft and I don't think OUAT being better than Worldly Tutor is good enough for this list. 10 Birthing Pod 9 Sylvan Library 8 Protean Hulk 7 Oath of Druids 6 Natural Selection 5 Hermit Druid 4 Survival of the Fittest 3 Channel 2 Fastbond 1 Golgari Grave-Troll
