Notable Cards
- Survival of the Fittest — The signature card of "Survival" decks. Survival of the Fittest acts as a search engine for silver-bullet creatures or as a combo engine with cards like Loyal Retainers and Iona, Shield of Emeria or Basking Rootwalla and Vengevine. The printing of Vengevine greatly increased the power of Survival of the Fittest and led to its banning in Legacy in 2010.
- Oath of Druids — Of the five Oath cards in Exodus Oath of Druids had the most impact on tournament Magic, especially after the printing of Forbidden Orchard. It is one of the game's most efficient means of putting expensive creatures into play without paying their mana costs, and modern Vintage decks still use it for that reason.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or cards:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
