This guy's great. Throws your guys at their face, and gains you some life in the process. I also think that his overall costings are very well chosen. He's the perfect cost, power and toughness, abilities and creature types, although I can't help feeling he doesn't need that 'Warrior' type, I think he's cooler when he's throwing things for his own benefit. Anyway, his artwork's great, and he's a lot of fun.

I can't really explain why I like this card. Its not particularly flavourful, and not even that good. Perhaps I like him simply for his artwork: a great looking elf standing proudly next to two dogs. The forest behind him looks great too: with the yellow light beaming down through the trees. I think this is my favourite picture of an elf: not eerie, not scary, not silly, but mystical.

My god this guy's hilarious. H reminds me kinda of Tarmogoyf, he looks through graveyards and adapts accordingly. The art's great, although perhaps a little creepy. Anyway, I'm sure they're some great decks to be made with this guy. Loving the ability, and the changeling is a nice touch too.

Now let's just get this out there: this card is terrible. It really was never effective, there simply wasn't enough 'clash' in the set for this to be effective, and so it becomes a little weak. I feel like it could have been balanced with a 'life gain' as well, but its a tonne of fun. Clash is a fun ability, and this card really ties it together. I like the artwork too, I believe it to be a pencil drawing, and it gives a really light feeling to an otherwise grim card. Anyway, its a neat idea.

Oh god the flavour. This card is simply hilarious, I feel like it should be in an un- set. It just gives the set a really light and fluffy texture that I really enjoyed, much like coldsnap. Plenty of combos too. Anyway, a rightful place halfway down the list.

This is one of my favourite goblins of all time. Fast, easy removal, all at a good price. A really good turn 3 drop, and certainly doesn't get worse as the game progresses. You can drop him as an easy blocker, and he becomes a pain to deal with. This guy can take down a 4/4, or a 1/1 and shoot a 3/3. Anyway, a very solid card.

This card simply looks beautiful.The light beaming down onto the stones, the red stone, the clouds, the moss climbing up the side of the stones. You feel like this really is the place of ancient magic. Furthermore, its a great card, fast, straightforward, and unless agains control decks, I consider this a lot better than most pain lands.

It was really indefinite that this card would appear on the list. Later reprinted as a mythic in "From the Vault: Legends," Doran is still one of the coolest cards ever printed, right down to the casting cost. Buffs up your treefolk and packs a hefty punch himself. And, as always, love the artwork.

What?! Really? An uncommon at the number one spot! But no, this is the card that made me love Lorwyn. There is something so perfect about this card, I can't explain it. The thought of a giant that looks after giant, flying goats is just wonderful: something that seems to come right out of a Norse fairytale. The fact that it drops you soldiers that you can either send in, or keep back and use to give him flying is excellent. He makes a cheap, fast insert to a white weenies deck, particularly with kithkin as its base. I could really stare at the picture for hours: the winged goat in the background, the peaceful giant in front, and the three little kithkin hiding around the picture. Adam Rex, you have outdone yourself. Truly my favourite card in Lorwyn.
