10 Most Powerful Card Effects In Magic The Gathering

This one sounds strange, but as absurd as it is there are several cards in Magic the Gathering which make you restart the game. Yes, you heard me right, you pick up all of your cards, give them a good shuffle, and start over again – except it’s technically classed as the same game. Know you’re going to die next turn? How about a restart? You haven’t drawn mana very well and you’ve been constantly behind? Restart!

Karn Liberated is the most notable and the most powerful of these restart cards as when you and your opponent are shuffling the cards from the 2-hour game which was just stopped, you set aside the cards which his effects have removed from the game and start the new game with them on the battlefield.

Needless to say, this effect is an instant win as long as you have even one or two decent cards to burst down your opponent with in a matter of turns. It also makes for a great panic button even if you can’t guarantee the early-game advantage.
