I'm sure there are other 5/2s, but Blistering Barrier is a 5/2 WALL. That's generally been near the top of my mind for "weird p/t" since way back in the day. I had completely forgotten about Spinal Parasite and Char-Rumbler, but I wasn't surprised to see Force of Savagery, even though I didn't remember what it was called.
When I was a kid, I got the Fifth Dawn Sunburst themed starter deck, and I was so confused by Spinal Parasite.... That deck was way too complex for my understanding of Magic at the time...
If all we're considering is the statline in a vaccuum, I agree with 1 and 2 on the list, but I think context matters. To me the Char-Rumbler is way weirder because unlike the Parasite he actually rocks his negative stat on the field, potentially leading to confusion even.
@@harkingmadwing5112 Looked it up and it actually doubles the power into the negative too. But besides stats pretty much any result that would be negative is set to 0 instead, so such a card would just do 0.
Autochthon Wurm's stat line is pretty cool from a Mel perspective. It had 14 toughness, which was the highest toughness at that point in the game. And 9 power is enough to be a threat, but it's not quite enough to be a two-turn clock on its own. It's... weirdly precise like that
Odd note for number 3, once scavenge was released, it actually made it playable in some formats. In Dragon's Maze especially, a legendary creature by the name of Varolz, the Scar-Striped, was able to use it to great effect.
I think you have a typo, Ancients and Galleon are 10/10s. Oh wait, sorry, I had Doran mode on :P Also love the flavor text on Force of Savagery considering people only use it to buff Drizzt and Kresh and such.
Autochthon Wurm is seeing play in Calibrated Blast decks. That's probably my favorite Modern deck at this time. It's hilarious when you're able to basically 1 shot your opponent because they've cracked a couple Fetches. Ope! Sorry opponent, I'll just deal 15 to your face when you least expect it lol such a fun idea lol
There is two that come to mind immediately and both are in my Doran deck. A 5 mana 1/13 and a 4 mana 2/10. Edit: both mine got mentioned so I decided to look a bit harder. There is also a 10/2 for 4 mana but sadly no 13/1 for 5... there is a surprising number of 7/3s and 3 7/2s. Chorus of the conclave is a 3/8 and charix is a staggering 0/17.
I play Lord of Tresserhorn in an EDH deck. He is my commander and I use tutors to find and play Torpor Orb, along side creatures like phyrexian dreadnought, for cheap heavy hitting cards. It’s a pretty fun deck especially with artifacts like lightening grieves.
I remember laughing at Force of Savagery as a child. I started in Time Spiral block, so it and Char Belcher were my childhood. Also remember Autochthon Wurm being the win condition in one of my first decks. Good times, good times.
i'm a little surprised there was no mention of the 1/0 tokens created by Master of Waves. Master of Waves is also by far the most successful card with a weird stat line, even if the card itself has a relatively normal 2/1
Those are so creative to me. When the master comes in he brings in a wave of 2/1’s. Then when he leaves the tide leaves with him. Ebbing and rising with the master
Never forget the absolute chad of a player (Ugin Avatar if I remember right) that allowed Nizzahon to knock him out by throwing a 1/13 zombie at him. They were probably laughing their asses off.
I have a table top deck that uses Unhallowed Phalanx with the Conspiracy card Weight Advantage. Add in Rogue's Passage and Access Tunnel and you've got an unblockable 13/13 lol
I remember seeing a reference to calling him that waaaay back in the day, when Alliances was first coming out and when The Duelist was a print magazine. He's always been Good Buddy to me, 10-4!
Made an infinite combo with force of savagery for my horde of notions commander deck. Just run a crystalline crawler and a death's presence and when u cast the force, it dies as it enters and puts 8 +1/+1 counters of crystalline crawler. Remove 5 counters for wubrg mana to activate horde of notions to cast the force from the bin for free. Repeat for infinite mana, infinitely large creatures, and infinite cast and death triggers.
What I don't like about Impervious Greatwurm is that the wurm looks way too small in the artwork. The previous biggest creatures were the Eldrazi titans, beings that made mountains look like anthills and seemed to reach into the stratosphere. Another example of a truly huge creature is Arixmethes, which literally is an island where an entire city state is founded on. Yet this Wurm seems just slightly bigger than a cathedral. It's large, but not nearly the size it should be as the current biggest creature in Magic. Emrakul has individual tentacles that are as big as this wurm.
Well, a creature's toughness represents its durability as well as its size, and the wurm is covered in armor. When it comes to power though... It's hard to picture how this wurm could dish out more damage than Emrakul. Of course, that doesn't take the Annihilator 6 into account.
I used to have a Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck waaaay back when I first started playing the format. He was the only Grixis legendary creature I owned at the time 😂
If you're paying 5 colors for Spinal Parasite it becomes a 4/4 not a 3/3. also, If you at least payed 4 colors, you can use it's ability twice. not that that makes the card great or anything but still, accuracy counts.
@@tonysmith9905 No he’s right. It’s a 4/4. Comes in with -1 and with 5 +1s with 5 different colors then the math is: -1 + 5 = 4 . Card still sucks though lol
Oooh man forgot about Force of Savagery!!! Also might try Spinal Parasite in my Ghen, Arcanum Weaver Commander deck lol as there is a Sage-theme to it :) where I try and keep removing counters to reset the Chapters. Problem is there are only like 4 cards in Mardu colors that can make this happen...all being colorless I think haha!
As children just learning the game we were so confused by Spinal Parasite. A friend got the theme deck dealing with the 5-color theme for his birthday and like it was not already confusing enough it contained Spinal Parasite. For some reason we played it similiar to wither, dealing damage as -1/-1 counters haha
I got a suggestion for Top 10s. Pretty simple, just Top 10 cards counting only points gained in Standard, then another top 10 for Modern, Legacy and so on.
Force of Savagery I used to play in my Kresh the Bloodbraided EDH deck. You got death triggers and 8 +1/+1 counters on Kresh for 3 mana, which was kinda insane.
I have a personal collection of cards with this exact theme, weirdest stats, and I'm very happy that 2 of my favorites are there, Force of Savagery and Char-Rumbler.
Have just started the video, before the list even begins: I'm betting that Force of Savagery is on this list. 8/0 with no innate way to get Toughness above that 0 definitely counts. :-) I freaking love Time Spiral block. :-) EDIT: *YES! Yes, I knew it!!* It's on the list! :-D
So cool to see Lord of Tresserhorn on this list! Especially since my boyfriend just built a “sacrifice matters” Lord of Tresserhorn EDH deck. In that deck his downside actually becomes an upside!
I thought Force of Savagery would be at the top, and Char Rumbler high up on the list, but I forgot about Spinal Parasite and many of the others. I thought Nova Chaser (10/2) would be linked with Indomitable Ancient (2/10) since they were in the same block and mirror each other. I thought Stone Idol Trap with its 6/12 token might make the list, and possibly the 9/8 Eater of Days. By the way, Zektar Shrine Expedition makes 7/1 tokens with trample when you get three landfalls, so Blistering Firecat isn't the only 7/1 creature in the game.
Impervious Greatwurm won me many games of Momir on Arena during that set. At the time, it was the only 10 Mana card, so you were guaranteed it if you had a 10-mana play. If you just held out until then and saves some cards, you'd have 2 or 3 Greatwurms which made YOU impervious.
I know that you just did a review of some kind of Arena limited set. Do you have any plans to look at Double Masters 2022 limited, which is only on MTGO? Even a brief review would be nice to see, especially for those of us who won’t touch Arena with a ten-foot pole.
Illusionary Wall, a 7/4 with defender, flying, first strike and cumulative upkeep. If we're including creatures with variable power and toughness, there's Shapeshifter, and Sentinel.
Char-Rumbler could have a funny niche usage - use a bunch of Firebreating but make it go in the negative, and use it to attach an ally in EDH and gain him a bunch of life
I always thought Kynaious and Tiro ot Melitis had a weird stat line as a 2/8 but looking into it there are two others so while weird not quite as rare as the 2/10s you had on the list. Fun list though, I do enjoy the data driven ones but these special ones are always a treat.
WotC really missed a trick with Char Rumbler back in the day. If, instead of Firebreathing, it gained +1/+1 counters, it could have been a bomb in Limited.
One thing I do like about these high power low toughness creatures is that they do a really good job at teaching new players the value of removal and/or disrupting said removal.
A negative power creature should definitely give the opposing player life when it hits, and cancel combat damage. And it should likely come with an ability that lets your opponent force you to attack target creature, player, or planeswalker with it for a cost. And surely it should also have an ability that either player can activate for a cost that makes the sign flip.
From Gatherer rulings on it: "Yes, Char-Rumbler's printed power is -1. While its power is -1 or 0, it simply deals no combat damage" and "It won't deal negative damage."
totally forgot about spinal parasite. would have put money on char rumbler being number 1. Cedric Philipps and Patrick Sullivan even named their weirdest card in the set award in their podcast after char rumbler
Also it's not totally strange but it's a stat line that compliments it's own flavor. The Void Winnower. 11/9. Flavor being opponents cant cast spells or block with creatures with even CMC.
I think Charix, the Raging Isle should be on this list, 0/17 is definitely weirder than 7/1 or 16/16.
Crab
I love my Charix, Righteous Valkyrie, and Maskwood Nexus combo. Very janky, but so fun to pull off.
Charix was one of my first thoughts as well
There are multiple 0/* that do booty damage though.
@@hungrybois5954 how Is your combo done?
Every list of weirdest anything always has at least two future sight cards or planar chaos cards on it. I wanna see sets like those again sometime.
That block was so wild and so fun. Definitely a unique time in Magic history.

I did not know any creatures in magic had default negative stats, that's wacky.

I have a soft spot for Shapeshifter. When its power/toughness is in the form of a math problem, you know things are about to get weird.
If all we're considering is the statline in a vaccuum, I agree with 1 and 2 on the list, but I think context matters. To me the Char-Rumbler is way weirder because unlike the Parasite he actually rocks his negative stat on the field, potentially leading to confusion even.
also, what happens when you use a card that says "double target creature's power" or a card that does damage based on "twice target creatures power"?

Wanted to say the same thing. One of the best creatures in Varolz edh besides death shadow and phyrexian dreadnought.
could also technically use it with Kresh the Bloodbraided; no need to even try to get the 8/0 to die on top of that to get the payoff
In all competitive formats with Varolz, there is no reason to use Force of Savagery over Death's Shadow.

NOOOO. As a West Virginia fan your hat burns my eyes! Love the vids man. You do a great job explaining things to newbies like me.

Wall of Shards was my pick for this list - a 1/8 wall with a weird cumulative upkeep. But walls have a lot of weird stat lines in general.
I think the 7/1 Elemental tokens are worth mentioning as well :)
Char Rumbler and Force of Savagery were pretty clear includes for me, but ive never seen Spinal Parasite before.
That 8/0 is hilarious, had no idea it exists
I was fully expecting lots of x/x or */*+1 etc, will you do a list of those too?
Oh man, I tried to play lord of tressorhorn so so much in my earliest years of magic, and now I feel both old and stupid
Lord of Tresserhorn was the 2nd or 3rd EDH deck I made!
I'm currently making a volroz scar striped commander deck and force of savagery Is really funny wit scavenge
i knew spinal parasite would be number one that said wouldnt paying all 5 colours get you a 5 mana 4/4 not a 3/3 still not good but hey
I would've included Consulate Dreadnought - not many statlines are also convenience stores
Master of Waves. First time I've seen zero toughness on a creature, albeit tokens
Charix splashing in Green to add reach to block Emrukel.
I always thought Kynaious and Tiro ot Melitis had a weird stat line as a 2/8 but looking into it there are two others so while weird not quite as rare as the 2/10s you had on the list. Fun list though, I do enjoy the data driven ones but these special ones are always a treat.

I'd have loved to see "Angry Mob" with it's 2+*/2+* stats
-1/3 and -1/-1 are things I'd expect from a silver border set
A little surprised you didn’t mention that 6/9 blue zombie
If Char-Rumbler blocks a creature without any pumping, does that creature's toughness become 1 higher until end of turn?
From Gatherer rulings on it: "Yes, Char-Rumbler's printed power is -1. While its power is -1 or 0, it simply deals no combat damage" and "It won't deal negative damage."
Future Sight is the set that comes closest to being silver border without actually being silver border.
spinal parasite will be a 4/4 if you pay 1 of each color, won't it?
Never thought I'd see a 8/0 trample creature that REQUIERES an Anthem/Lord effect.
totally forgot about spinal parasite. would have put money on char rumbler being number 1. Cedric Philipps and Patrick Sullivan even named their weirdest card in the set award in their podcast after char rumbler
The 2 trees that switch life totals also have unique stats
If you attack with char-rumbler as it's default self does it heal opponents?
(9:06) If you pay WUBRG to cast Spinal Parasite, it'll be 4/4, not 3/3.
All hail Lord Yargle!
cant wait until there’s a card with 9 power and 11 toughness
I would have to mention Grist from MH2, as he is a 1/1, only in your hand
In any zone except the battlefield
I didn't even realize their were cards with negative stat lines
Special shout outs to Bill and Ted's favorite stat line. Skaab Goliath.
In Autochthon, the syllables are Au-to-chthon, not Au-toch-thon
It's from ancient Greek, so it's weird
Also it's not totally strange but it's a stat line that compliments it's own flavor. The Void Winnower. 11/9. Flavor being opponents cant cast spells or block with creatures with even CMC.
Charix the raging isle
I also like Tarmogoyf's (*/1+*)
Aw dang I was hoping for a video on state lines
