The most unique Magic cards

Ranked by how far away the closest thing to each one sits, measured against every card ever printed: the average of its two scores, rules text and concepts. The line under a name is the one that sits furthest from the rest of Magic. Commander-legal cards only, and the dealer above walks this same list, one card at a time and in its own order for everyone who opens it.
