Newton's Modern Masters 2015 top 10 cards I would love to open

Since Modern Masters 2015 spoilers started I had been pretty excited, especially since the first card spoiled was Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Now with it's release being only a couple days away there's no better time to release the top ten cards that I want to get from the set.





First off: the cards that don't quite make the top ten but I still kind of want.

Surgical Extraction, Tarmogoyf and Mana Leak:

WHAT? GOYF ISN'T IN THE TOP TEN? THIS IS BLASPHEMY! In all honesty, the only reason that I would want to open a Tarmogoyf would be to sell it. I know, I know, I'm a greedy little man but I don't play green all that often and to be completely honest I really don't see how this card is considered so good. I get that in faster formats like Legacy there will be more cards in graveyards faster but even with that I just don't understand. Maybe I'm stupid, who knows. Mo Money Mo Problems.

Surgical Extraction is one of those cards that I really just want to use to see how it works. It's a really interesting card, especially with the phyrexian mana. As for Mana Leak, I just don't have any decent counterspells other than Cancel.

10. Lightning Bolt

Red is one of those colors that I really don't enjoy playing unless I can combine it with another color. The less red the possible for me. It's card like this though, that if I am to include red in a deck, it will be with these kinds of cards, especially this card. As vague and weird as that sounds I actually enjoy this card.

9. Dismember

I love black. I love removal. This is black removal. I really like it.

This is one of those cards that I've used before and just fell in love with. It's so versatile mana wise that it's just amazing. Spend 3 mana if you're low on life, 2 if you don't want to waste life, or 1 if you just don't care, which, because of the phyrexian mana this can be in any color, if you're in black you probably don't care all that much about your life total.

8. Wilt-Leaf Liege

Token strategies are one of my favorite strategies. Make a bunch of tokens, boost the hell out of them, and swing for a bunch of damage. Green/white is a great colour combo for token strategies and being green/white this card fits right in.

7. Mox Opal

I really enjoy artifacts, Metalcraft, Affinity, and pretty much everything else about them. They're just so versatile in everything and this card is no exception, not to mention this isn't a cheap card either. The fact that this is a zero mana cost artifact as well? It's ridiculous. I love it

6. Bitterblossom

I have mentioned before, on multiple occasions, I absolutely love black. This card is a threat in limited, a pain in the ass in constructed, and works as aggro or a sacrifice outlet or free blockers, or just plain old board presence. It's just a really great card and I want it.

5. Any of the Eldrazi Titans

I absolutely ADORE the Eldrazi. Everything about them. They consume, destroy, eradicate, and speak to my inner world conqueror. Getting any of the three Eldrazi titans would be a blessing. I would put them in any deck. Every deck. I love them so much...They aren't the best cards ever printed when it comes to almost anything other than commander so not the highest on my list.

4. Primeval Titan

This is one of those cards that I really want even though it's banned in pretty much everything. In Limited/Draft/Cube playing, this card is a complete bomb, and being an active commander player I completely understand why it is banned in the format. It's really really good and I really really want it.

3. Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Like I mentioned before, I really like token strategies. This is both a creature booster and removal at the same time. In token deck strategies this dominates. Against token deck strategies this dominates. This card just dominates.

2. Scute Mob

I really really really really love this card. Not just from a pro-gamer standpoint, but a personal standpoint. Not only does it boost itself by 4 every turn but...it's called Scute Mob. How adorable is that. This card is really threatening in draft/limited, especially because nobody want to waste a removal spell on it until it gets too big, and while it's getting big you keep putting bigger scarier things on the field.

1. Dark Confidant

First of all, that art is awesome. Second of all, the card is amazing. It draws you a card without actually drawing a card and even though you lose life...it's black! Who cares! You get card advantage and card advantage, especially in black, is extremely dangerous. I really really want this card. A lot.
