Which do you think is the best card of each faction?

If you had to pick ONE best card. I know this prompt is kinda stupid, but lets try it.

The ones I thought were:
Vetruvian: Blood of Air
Lyonar: Trinty Oath
Songhai: Mist Dragon Seal
Vanar: Ghost Seraphim? What if I tell you Ive NEVER faced Flawless Reflection
Abyssian: I dunno, Demonic Lure? Bloodtide Priestess? Shadowdancer?
Magmar: Makantor

Edit: We can pick for Neutral too, I guess. Lets exclude Wanderer from this list so we get more varied results.

Vet: Fault, easy infinite value generator and the card that got me into playing vet before Ka
Lyonar: Dont play a lot of Lyo, but i want to say Titan, because its an incredibly impactful card
Songhai: cant answer, not a songhai player
Vanar: Nemeton(cuz it needs very much skill)
Abyss:Chackram, because it enables many powerful decks
Magmar: Makantor
Neutral: Sarlac Azure Herald

Lyonar: Trinity Oath, but my heart goes to Sunbreaker
Vetruvian: Sandswirld Reader, but my heart goes to Scion’s Second Wish
Songhai: Juxtaposition, but my heart goes to Geomancer
Vanar: Luminous Charge, but my heart goes to Snow Chaser
Abyssian: Daemonic Lure, but my heart goes to Nekomata
Magmar: Makantor Warbeast, but my heart goes to Juggernaut
Neutral: Thunderhorn, but my heart goes to S.I.L.V.E.R.

If speaking of standalone power, then:

Lyo: Holy Immo, why I’m the first to mention it?
Hai: Eternity Painter
Vet: Sandwhirl.
Abyss: Can’t choose between Deso and Chakram…
Mag: who knows, who cares…
Vanar: Abhorrent Wisp.

Neutral: Thunderhorn. Still.

Lyonar: Trinity Oath
Songhai: Juxtaposition
Vanar: Gravity Well
Abyssian: Ritual Banishing
Vetruvian: Blood of Air
Magmar: Makantor Warbeast
Neutral: Healing Mystic

That’s an odd pick. How so?

Lyonar: Holy immolation
Magmar: Jesus Makantor
Vetruvian: the OG third wish that made lasercats possible, but now it’s probably Blood of Air
Songhai: hmmmmm thunderbomb maybe
Vanar: chromacold (except it deals 2)
Abyssian: DOOM Ok fine darkfire sacrifice
Neutral: healing mystic but I think EMP is flashier

Man this really reminds me of the times when each faction only had a couple key strong cards and all

Edit: doom support when?

Archetypical importance and impact and just observations on the cards powerlevel as seen in the meta at the ranks I typically play at. While Oath is incredibly powerful, it doesnt advance the board or provide the type of impact plays as a host of other cards and is more relevant based on your overall deckbuilding. My second pick would have actually been Sunrise Cleric for what it’s worth. There’s a reason Titan Lyonar has a higher overall winrate in the Meltdown League than even Wanderer Ragnora and the card’s power is testament to that.

Neutral: Reliquarian. As much as some may deem it memey it is in my hearth one of the most interesting, flexible and, when well placed, impactful designs of the game. I only ressent Lyo having no Dying wish cards.

For me, it would probably go:

Lyonar: Alabaster Titan
Songhai: Juxtaposition
Magmar: Flash Reincarnation
Abyssian: Furor Chakram
Vetruvian: Sandswirl Reader
Vanar: Malicious Wisp

Lyonar - Divine Bond - Budget friendly, easy to use, can make different styles of decks around it.

Vetruvian - Sandswirl Reader - Good removal/bounce card, also generates a tile which provides value over time.

Songhai - Gotatsu - Can be used as ping, draws a card, can use on your own minions for creative lethal.

Vanar - Gravity Well - Can use to grab multiple mana tiles, annoying for the opponent, can deny opponent mana tiles early, gives you the ability to reach across the board as well.

Abyssian - Daemonic Lure - Can act as ping, move your opponent’s minion to your advantage, can be a good advantage to have in your hand as Player 2 for your Turn 1 as it can help remove your opponent’s turn 1 play.

Magmar - Flash reincarnation - Ramps powerful minions out early or fun meme minions.

Neutral - BTA, Healing Mystic, Golem Metallurgist, Wild Tahr, Spelljammer, Blue Conjourer, Inquistor Kron. All of them are pretty good.

Vet: sandswirl reader
Abyss: furor chakram
Magmar: decimus propagate rage makantor warbeast, flash reincarnation
Lyonar: titan / sunrise cleric
Songhai: juxtaposition
vanar: warbird malicious wisp / gravity well
Neutral: spelljammer, azure herald, bta
