love rhystic study, a couple years back when the first commander decks came out my cousin and I started getting into commander and the second we became aware of this card we knew it would be something that pretty much any EDH deck that ran blue would basically staple this card since there's really no downside to playing it and the upsides are tremendous because you either get to draw a card, have your opponent's spells effectively cost 1 extra or they waste resources trying to get rid of this card, and i say waste because while the effects are powerful, they're not exactly game breaking, there are so many other enchantments and artifacts out there that are win conditions, Rhystic isn't one of them. So whenever we found them we bought out the entire stock in the store we were in (this was back when they were approx. 1-2 dollars a pop CAD). Now Rhystic Study is a 12 dollar card and we're sitting on a huge stockpile, laughing our asses off at how big a profit we made (i don't mean we sold them, we just have SO MANY now and we only paid a dollar for them each). now if only i had that kind of foresight when chromatic lantern was only 3 dollars a pop...

To the people whining about Necro: Yes, Necropotence is as a card broken to all oblivion, but that is precisely the problem. Other players know that too, when you play arena, most would say: "ehhh that is fine", but when necro hits the table it is pretty much as if you would walk into the most leftist joint in the neighbourhood wearing the confederate flag

Sylvan Library is like a green enchantment version of Sensei's Divining Top- sooo much advantage, and 3 card peeking is sweet even when you choose not to draw the extras. It may be dumb to pay 8 life per turn and whiff a combo on turn 4 or 5, but just knowing/setting up what you get to draw next is phenomenal in green.

We have similar trains of thought for 95% of the cards you mentioned. My honorable mentions would have included different enchantments such as grave betrayal, mind's dilation, lurking predators, defense of the heart, and attrition and I probably forget many. But I agree with you that tempo is important. You might be playing the most bad ass cards in magic, if you can't get never draw it or are mana screwed it won't help. Card draw, library fixing, and tutoring is so important.

This is not a bad list at all. Yes you can argue whether Sylvan Library is better than Rhystic Study or not, or whether Necropotence belongs in the top 10 (it does), but it's still a good list. I especially appreciate the wide range of cards in the honorable mentions because really all of these cards are ultra powerful EDH staples and keeping it to just the top 10 would leave out too many of them. Good work!

I think its a good list, with a lot of odd rationale. Like really odd - bordering on bad, but not consistently.. On the good side is your rationale for Exploration and Burgeoning. Perhaps the universal lesson to callout would be that "situational" or "limited usability" cards do not belong in the list. These two cards are win cards in certain commanders, but largely bad includes in most others. It would help if you used this logic to explain your other choices a bit more consistently. On the strange side.... 1) Propaganda and Ghostly Prison are key elements for core strategies common to control - one of the main playstyles of magic. You might still be right that they are lower on the list, but you say a lot of odd things as to why. Denial of your opponent is a major strategy in control. It seems like you are dismissing it with a very narrow point of view. Be more open minded imo. Or alternately, call a spade a spade. These are not in the list because they are not as powerful as the rest. 2) Food Chain, Necropotence, and Sneak Attack are a great example of what I'm highlighting. These cards all could belong in the list if it is a list of "most powerful". So it's confusing when you dismiss them at all. But if you were to articulate that they do not fit because they are situational or limited usability, you would be getting somewhere. However, even that is not enough. What makes these three cards not fit with the rest of your list is that they "force" a playstyle. They are not nearly as versatile as the other enchantments you include. 3) Finally, Asceticism, and Privileged literally do things to help you try to win the game, they work in nearly any deck that can use them, they do not force your playstyle, and in the case of Asceticism at least, the card really is one of the most relevant cards for any green commander. Your rationale for excluding these just doesn't make sense. That said, i agree that both are lower than all ten you list. So its just your rationale that seems odd.
