Lord of Extinction
For every card that exists, there exists a
nearly infinite number of ways of looking at it.
I don't like thinking of cards in terms of what
they can't do or their shortcomings: when you
open one of these in an Alara Reborn booster or
as an Hour of Devastation Invocation, are you
going to feel better if you see a card with
great art which nonetheless gets blocked by a
Saproling, or the most ridiculous
ever interaction with Fling or Greater Good? For
competitive constructed, there are probably
faster options, but there's no better feeling
for multiplayer formats than having a creature
with power higher than the sum of two players'
life totals.
Constructed: 2/5

Limited: 4/5

EDH/Commander: 5/5

Lord of Extinction (7/20)
It’s simple, but it's pretty massive. And you
would hope so, given that you're spending 5 mana
on a creature with no combat keywords and no
protection! What you get, though, is a massive
body who looks at all cards in all graveyards.
Dies to removal is sort of a thing to be
thankful for here, because staring down a 13/13
(or bigger) Lord of Extinction, who conveniently
is in colors well-suited to killing all the
things, is sure to ruin any day.
