Best ETB Creatures of All Time?

sH0opdAwoOp · 02-04-2012, 05:24 PM

Hey all,

I have a particular affinity for creatures with "enter the battlefield" abilities. I suppose that's one reason why I love the reprint of the titans, despite the fact that most people were not pleased to see them return. They're just such great value!

So, I was hoping that you all could help me keep a little running compendium of the creatures with the best ETB effects of all time. I haven't played for long, so there're things from the years of MTG gone by that are unbeknownst to me.

Thanks!

Check out the top 50 lists for a start. While a good chunk of them don't have etb abilities, a lot of the quality ones for this format are on there. Outside of that, you really have to narrow it down a bit. Are you looking for specific effects, specific colors, or for people to just post their favorites?

Basically every creature you see with an ETB effect in all of the decks on this site.

Like Weebo Said check the top 50, also check the 50 most played cards in EDH http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=388001

Eternal Witness is an auto-include for green decks.

Eldrazi titans are pretty insane.

Gashnaw · 02-04-2012, 06:24 PM

sundering titan deserves a mention.

Sun Titan
Stoneforge Mystic
Keldon Firebombers
Imperial Recruiter

Ignoring the great cards already mentioned, these are some of the most powerful/useful ETB creatures I use:

Fleshbag Marauder
Kederekt Leviathan
Avalanche Riders
Draining Whelk
Mulldrifter
Shriekmaw
And my personal favorite: Acidic Slime

Thanks man. I'll take a look over your Damia list to get more ideas

Coiling Oracle is a nice one I haven't seen mentioned yet.

Edit: Elvish Visionary and Wall of Omens are also nice if you want draw.

Yeah, I run the Oracle in my Jenara deck. I've always loved Wall of Omens too
