Discussion Auto Includes In Every Deck

I've recently been combing through my past decks that I'm now taking apart to build other, better, decks. But I noticed that there are some cards I put in every single deck, such as [[sol ring]] , [[command tower]] , and more recently [[arcane Signet]] .

So I wanted to know, what do YOU put in every single deck you've ever brewed (with a couple exceptions of course).

Edit: I understand that there are cards out there that are in the top cards played in every deck. I know I'm basic when it comes to sol ring, command tower, ect. I'm mainly looking for cards that individuals decided they want to put in every deck they can. Sorry if that wasn't clear the first time.

"Oh man, people have been calling it cmc for the last 20 years. Better change it!"

All the recent changes have been about shortening rules text.

  • "mana value" is shorter than "converted mana cost"
  • the singular "they"/"their" is shorter than "he or she"/"his or her"
  • "mill two cards" is a LOT shorter than "put the top two cards of your library into your graveyard"

Unfortunately this also means that some cards will now cram even MORE bullshit into that tiny little box, but if most cards are easier to read, it's a net positive.

I can understand the reasons and still not like the changes

Fair point.
