My Top 40 Black Cards(30-21)

30. Murder

Perfectly costed, perfectly worded, perfectly named, this card has one function and it does it perfectly. It has since been trumped by the almighty Hero's Downfall.

29. Dread

Kind of limited to black and not cheap. But when it hits the board it's great on both offense and defense. A 6/6 evasive creature is no slouch and it's second ability works great against all sorts of decks. Protecting this thing will win you the game fairly easily. Oh and it doesn't die, which I guess could be an equally bad thing for black.

28. Coffin Queen

Three mana for the ability to get any creature in a graveyard under your control is fantastic. Oh it's repeatable unlike Necromancy. Not just for a re-animator deck - this thing could be splashed, put in a mill deck or even in a wrath deck.

27. Black Sun's Zenith

Damnation it is not, but in the right situation this could be even greater. All the Zenith's shuffle back in abilities are kind of neat. The fact that these are permanent counters is what rises Black Sun over some other mass removal. Life's Finale and Overwhelming Forces are fairly expensive comparatively.

26. Grave Titan

All the titans are great value and demand immediate attention. Grave has two pretty great abilities on him. 6/6 deathtouch is really hard to take down straight on in battle. The fact that it gives you 2-4 2/2s right away is pretty nice. Maybe you can also take advantage of the fact that they are zombies?

25. Sheoldred Whispering One

The best source of late game advantage this side of Griselbrand. Not only does it help you get card advantage, it also costs your opponent for a double whammy effect. Just getting this thing to trigger for one turn is certainly going to change the tide of battle. The designers felt the need to give it Swampwalk on top of everything. Two cheaper than Reya Dawnbringer.

24. Dark Confidant

One of the kings of card advantage. I understand it's powerful, but he's much more likely to kill you than his brothers. Love the flavor text and new artwork. It does cost 75$ which is really expensive but it's also cheaply costed which is what makes competitive decks run. It's also abusable to make for a super powerful card.

23. Bloodgift Demon

Speaking of. You are putting Phyrexian Arena, which is great as a three mana card on a 5/4 flying demon. You could argue creatures are much more prone to dieing than an enchantment, but you could also say you are paying two more for the arena and said creature. Uh yeaah... You could also have your opponent(or teammate) draw a card if life gets that desperate.

22. Geth, Lord of the Vault

First glance only makes Geth above average. 5/5 psuedo evasive creature for 6 mana is pretty dece. But that second mill ability which doesn't require tapping or a ton of mana for straight value is downright broken. Oh and it get's cumulatively better for every card put in the graveyard.

21. Thoughtseize

Thee card removal uhh card. I love Distress for how cheap($) it is - one mana more, but doesn't cost you two life. Hymn is great for pure card advantage, but the ability to do this turn one is huge. Ostracize is great in the right situation as well, but this beats it.

Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46.
