Unusual legacy cards you liked (even if they weren't that good...)

Unusual legacy cards you liked (even if they weren't that good...)
Just a thought for some discussion on cards you just like.
night soil
For me, I dunno how popular it would be because it's a comparitively slow card versus tormod's crypt which I also have, but if you're making some kind of green deck and want a sideboard against a grave deck, night soil is one I just found in my box and used to play. I haven't played any tournament stuff, so most probably too slow. But against a much later necro deck I can remember shutting him out with this.

I haven't assessed it with new stack mechanics etc, and I can remember he worked one creature at a time to avoid it but then I ended up making trying to burn and combat them in even amounts.

Fine casual maybe but no good for tourny, but if I go to legacy I'll try it in my green sideboards.
What cards like this do you still feel the urge to try?

Night Soil got a functional reprint (sort-of) in necrogenisis. It could be tech against Re-animator or slow-dredge but otherwise takes too long to set up (not to mention doe not take out [c=bridge to below]bridges) and the graveyard based decks will roll over you. Stick to bojuka bog, ravenous trap, tormod's crypt, and relic of progenitus.

While not a single card, I want UG Madness to work in legacy. Sadly it is fairly slow and goyf trumps most of its creatures. I have a new list that I am building towards that runs it like a stompy deck but that is untested and I don't have most of the cards yet.

Patriarch's Bidding

I once built a Legacy Reanimator deck that ran something like 15 dragons in the deck so I could dump them all in the graveyard and bring them all out at once. It didn't work often but it's funny as hell when I'd manage to do it and resurrect all five of the Invasion Dragon Legends at once.

We make the dragons as we make the gods, because we need them, because, somewhere deep in our hearts, we recognize that a world without dragons is a world without magic or mystery, and that is not a world I would want to live in.

But bidding is a beast in multiplayer. Not to mention a staple in reanimator builds as wells as tribal decks like goblins for a late game zerg rush. While not necessarily competitive in the current legacy meta, it still is a good card.
