10 Greatest MTG One Drops Of All Time
2. Sol Ring
We know it, we love it, we hate it when our opponent has it. Sol Ring may be one of the most staple cards in a variety of formats, particularly in EDH. Being able to play a two-mana card on your very first turn of the game is absolutely ridiculous, let alone playing a second land the next turn and casting a four-mana card on turn 2.
The fact that Sol Ring only provides colourless mana is irrelevant, as it often merely makes up those large grey numbers in your cards’ mana costs while you offset the colour components with your existing lands. What’s more, if you were ever playing a non-singleton format which allowed Sol Ring, you could play one mana into a Sol Ring, into two more, and then into a fourth for a whopping five colourless mana of turn one.
By playing this card in artifact heavy decks, and other colourless decks, Sol Ring only becomes more powerful as it can help cast a greater deal of things without having to worry about its restriction.
