	This dude is so broken it's insane. – ripper234♦ Oct 21 at 5:27
	I might be out of touch with the scene, but since when is "broken" a good thing? – Avish♦ Oct 21 at 12:13
	Indeed you are, "broken" is good - mtg.wikia.com/wiki/Broken – ripper234♦ Oct 21 at 12:38

[[Sphinx of Jwar Isle]]

It simply cannot be removed without day of judgment, it has evasion, its added ability is really fun and can actually benefit your decision making.

Gatekeeper of Malakir can also kill this if timed right. But otherwise, yeah, a very nice card. – Avish♦ Dec 7 at 7:58

I agree with Ob Nixilis but would also like to toss the name Vampire Nighthawk around. Yeah he's not rare, but none the less, awesome. I'm always happy to see him at zendikar sealed drafts.

[[Vampire Nighthawk]]

Fixed the image, please use [[Vampire Nighthawk]] to include images. It's true, it's a great card, I always love seeing it in a draft. – ripper234♦ Dec 7 at 7:22

Ob Nixilis, the Fallen and Chandra Ablaze because of the easy deckbuilding behind them. Archive Trap and Mindbreak Trap for the 0 mana trap cost that lets it into any deck.

	0 mana cost doesn't necessarily mean a useful card. I had Archive Trap in a sealed deck and ended up giving it up for something more useful early on -- it just wasn't good enough for the slot it occupied. – Avish♦ Oct 20 at 22:57
	Archive Trap is always tempting in a sealed, because it mills a full third of the library. Add to that the 7 cards a player draws when the game starts, another few cards, and you can imagine the game ending on milling. – ripper234♦ Oct 21 at 5:15
	I imagined the same, seeing as I opened a Hedron Crab on on the same sealed event where I got the Archive Trap, but while the crab stayed, the trap had to go. – Avish♦ Dec 6 at 20:56

Terra Stomper always deserves to be on this list (although it's still not as good as some of the other options, green deserves a representation).

I think Rampaging Baloths are better in green. Zendikar Limited doesn't have many counterspell-playing decks so the "can't be countered" isn't that good. – Avish♦ Dec 6 at 20:55

White's top card is probably Day of Judgement, even though it's less flashy than some ( e.g. Iona, Shield of Emeria)

[[Day of Judgment]]

Is this really that good? In Limited? Can someone explain why? – Avish♦ Dec 6 at 20:54
