I love [Oil-Gorger Troll]. ONE was one of my favorite draft environments, and I really loved the oil counter mechanic. I keep a very jank oil based edh deck around. He won me a bunch of games in draft, I love the art, and the "flavor" text (get it?) cracks me up.

What card sparks joy for you and why?

Basilica Bell-Haunt

The art, the solid mana cost and the frame colors make it an aesthetically very pleasing card, but when it was revealed I figured it would be a good draft card but not playable in Standard. But it turned out to be a fantastic stabilizing card in Esper Hero and punched way above its weight as an uncommon. GRN/RNA was also just a great era for Standard so it's tied to good memories from that time as well.

Yeah thats a dope looking card. Always love seeing non-generic mana costs, even though I know it makes the card worse.
