5 favorite cards in standard OR 5 favorite of the cards already listed here?
I'm assuming it's the latter.
Here's mine:1. Jace, the Mind Sculptor 2. Stoneforge Mystic 3. Batterskull 4. Sword of War and Peace 5. Gideon Jura (who is getting reprinted -_-)

- Jace, the mind sculptor
- Goblin guide (it is isamaru, hound of konda with fucking haste!)
- primeval titan
- stoneforge mystic
- tumble magnet (it is so overpowered, and underused. it stops everything in it's tracks)
- squadron hawk
- sword of war and peace
- wurmcoil engine
- lightning bolt
- Mana leak

i only put jace as #1 because he has so much influence on standard ( along with stoneforge) that i say if you cant beat 'em, join 'em.he has a free brainstorm, a fateseal/scry one, unsummon, and possibly the most overpowered activated ability of any card ever, aside from maybe door to nothingness ( with doubling cube)

Has been updated, notice how it says 5 instead of 10 now. I didn't expect 33 comments.

Wow, seriously? I was the first to say Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle ? The card is still fueling one of the most powerful and popular decks in standard.

Squadron Hawk isn't good on its own. It just lets you search for other Hawks.
In fact, the only reason it's so good in Caw-Blade is because it has Flying and is cheap to play.
Stoneforge Mystic , on the other hand, is good with just about any equipment. It also allows you to only have 1 of each equipment you want and still have it act like you have a playset.
And Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is fading in popularity. I haven't seen it in at least a month where I play, and it's absent from most SCG Top 8 pages nowadays. I think it's due to the facts that Caw-blade and Deceiver/Twin are much better now and that most of the cards in a Valakut deck are cycling out in 3 months.
