I'm working on an article on the most popular Legendary creatures / best legendary creatures and I'm interested to get some feedback from a broader audience! :)

I for myself am a huge fan of Doran - not because of its strength, but because the card is (was) so original. I hated seeing a plane that did the same so soon. It's maybe the same with Mistform Ultimus, but I think that it was enough time to share his ability with others.

[[Doran, the Siege Tower]] [[Mistform Ultimus]] [[Nicol Bolas]]

As for general popular legends, Nicol Bolas is probably the classic, showing up now and then in the storyline.

Nothing makes me happier than Squee.

I love the time spiral legendary vilians. I think my favorite one was Dralnu.

[[Dralnu, Lich Lord]]

Not just the villains. – ripper234 Dec 7 at 20:36

My personal favorite is probably:

[[Commander Eesha]]

Not really that impressive, but it's the only one with protection from creatures (excluding progenitus) and the flavor's pretty good.

I've got your back... I once won a game of EDH, playing Eesha as my only creature! – Mike1229 Dec 9 at 20:38
Yup, unblockability, a great blocker against larger creatures, and poison 2 with a relatively low mana cost makes this an awesome EDH card. – Shushoto Dec 10 at 2:01
Poison 2?? With a little help I guess.. – ubes 9 hours ago

Sliver queen is very nice, even outside a sliver deck. I use it in my reanimator deck to generate creature tokens for spells requiring sacrifices.

Isn't Sliver Overlord almost always better? – ripper234 Jan 11 at 23:10
Sliver Queen can find uses outside sliver decks as a cheap creature generator, like in my reanimator deck. I think the scenarios in which the Sliver Overlord is useful are more narrow. – CodeSavvyGeek Jan 16 at 15:38

Because Ravnica was the first time I actually sat down and read the novels, Niv-Mizzet is my favorite by a mile. He's a genius, he's a jerkass, and he's spectacularly blue-red.

We try not to insert an image into the middle of a paragraph, because it cuts the flow of text. Instead, please refer to the card by name and provide its picture after the paragraph. – ripper234 Dec 26 at 8:44
Not to mention his flavor text :) – ripper234 Dec 26 at 8:45
Thanks for the reminder. – Krinn Dec 28 at 16:27
