10 Magic: The Gathering Cards Too Powerful For Their Own Good
3. Sol Ring
Sol Ring isn't as sexy or outwardly scary as other cards on our list like Infinity Golem or Blightsteel Colossus. That being said, it's still a very powerful artifact, which is why it's featured in just about every Commander deck known to humankind.
Drawing a Sol Ring in your opening hand means you'll likely have at least four mana to work with by your second turn which will help execute your gameplan in the most efficient manner possible.
Like Black Lotus, Sol Ring is widely considered one of the best mana ramp cards in the game. However, unlike Black Lotus, it's very affordable. You can easily snag a Sol Ring for around $3 (or about 3.69 pounds).
Sure, it may look like a discount wedding band in the artwork, but Sol Ring is very much the little mana engine that could.
