I think Charix, the Raging Isle should be on this list, 0/17 is definitely weirder than 7/1 or 16/16.

@PaulishB 4 years ago

I did not know any creatures in magic had default negative stats, that's wacky.

@smallmetalowl3209 11 months ago

This randomly came up on my home page just now and already feels due for an update. 0/30 anyone?

@LadyBernkastel92 4 years ago

Every list of weirdest anything always has at least two future sight cards or planar chaos cards on it. I wanna see sets like those again sometime.

@Vario69 3 years ago

That 8/0 is hilarious, had no idea it exists

@TransformersBoss 4 years ago

My first thought is Charix. A 0/17. He’s bigger than Emrakul! Kinda…

When I was a kid, I got the Fifth Dawn Sunburst themed starter deck, and I was so confused by Spinal Parasite.... That deck was way too complex for my understanding of Magic at the time...

@stevenglowacki8576 4 years ago (edited)

I'm sure there are other 5/2s, but Blistering Barrier is a 5/2 WALL. That's generally been near the top of my mind for "weird p/t" since way back in the day. I had completely forgotten about Spinal Parasite and Char-Rumbler, but I wasn't surprised to see Force of Savagery, even though I didn't remember what it was called.

@mikotagayuna8494 4 years ago

I have a soft spot for Shapeshifter. When its power/toughness is in the form of a math problem, you know things are about to get weird.

@nathanl8622 4 years ago

Autochthon Wurm's stat line is pretty cool from a Mel perspective. It had 14 toughness, which was the highest toughness at that point in the game. And 9 power is enough to be a threat, but it's not quite enough to be a two-turn clock on its own. It's... weirdly precise like that

Never forget the absolute chad of a player (Ugin Avatar if I remember right) that allowed Nizzahon to knock him out by throwing a 1/13 zombie at him. They were probably laughing their asses off.

I have a janky Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck, it's fun

@wyattdupre2721 4 years ago

For number 500 you should do the top 10 top 10s as a way to review your own content

@dapperghastmeowregard 4 years ago (edited)

I think you have a typo, Ancients and Galleon are 10/10s.

Oh wait, sorry, I had Doran mode on :P

Also love the flavor text on Force of Savagery considering people only use it to buff Drizzt and Kresh and such.

@rinmathews9337 4 years ago

I remember drafting Dominaria limited and winning by giving Yargle flying and +1/+1. Good times, good times.

@stigmaoftherose 4 years ago (edited)

There is two that come to mind immediately and both are in my Doran deck. A 5 mana 1/13 and a 4 mana 2/10.

Edit: both mine got mentioned so I decided to look a bit harder. There is also a 10/2 for 4 mana but sadly no 13/1 for 5... there is a surprising number of 7/3s and 3 7/2s. Chorus of the conclave is a 3/8 and charix is a staggering 0/17.

@Krunschy 4 years ago

If all we're considering is the statline in a vaccuum, I agree with 1 and 2 on the list, but I think context matters. To me the Char-Rumbler is way weirder because unlike the Parasite he actually rocks his negative stat on the field, potentially leading to confusion even.

@aordhyf 4 years ago (edited)

I play Lord of Tresserhorn in an EDH deck. He is my commander and I use tutors to find and play Torpor Orb, along side creatures like phyrexian dreadnought, for cheap heavy hitting cards. It’s a pretty fun deck especially with artifacts like lightening grieves.

@shaden489 4 years ago

i knew spinal parasite would be number one that said wouldnt paying all 5 colours get you a 5 mana 4/4 not a 3/3 still not good but hey

@Supportivechaos 4 years ago

Made an infinite combo with force of savagery for my horde of notions commander deck. Just run a crystalline crawler and a death's presence and when u cast the force, it dies as it enters and puts 8 +1/+1 counters of crystalline crawler. Remove 5 counters for wubrg mana to activate horde of notions to cast the force from the bin for free. Repeat for infinite mana, infinitely large creatures, and infinite cast and death triggers.
