All 11 Titan Cards in Magic Ranked

Last updated on August 13, 2026

The term “titan” harkens back to one of Magic’s first cycles of high-end, bomb creatures: the Magic 2011 Titans that all shared the same design adapted to each color. These were mono-colored 6/6 giants for 6 mana with an ability that triggered when they entered or attacked. Though “titan” had appeared in the name of many creatures before them, the M11 Titans set the stage for what we refer to as true “titans” in MTG.

You won’t really see a “titan deck” out in the wild, but the individual titan creatures make a splash when they show up on their own. Let’s take a look at the original cycle, and all the members who joined this titanic circle later on.

What Are Titans in MTG?

This ranking will focus on creatures with “Titan” in their name that have the same ability as an enters trigger and attack trigger. Sizing and creature type don’t matter, though these will very often be 6/6 giants for 6 mana.

We’re excluding creatures that are only titanic in name, not in function (Marshmist Titan, Gorilla Titan), as well as creatures that do have “Titan” in their name, but don’t follow the enters/attacks template.

Honorable Mention: Kogla, the Titan Ape

Kogla, the Titan Ape almost fits the description, except the attack and enters triggers are different effects. Close, Kogla, but not quite.

Honorable Mention: Titans’ Vanguard

Titans' Vanguard also misses the mark by having a cast trigger instead of an ETB due to its Eldrazi nature. A titan in concept, but not in execution.

#11. Frost Titan

Time hasn’t been kind to Frost Titan. Many top-end blue threats have early-game buyouts these days, and neither Frosty’s protection nor its effect on the board are profound enough to justify this as a 6-drop in blue.

#10. Blight Titan

Blight Titan is mostly just worse Grave Titan unless you have specific synergies with milling, artifact tokens, or Phyrexians. Grave Titan gives you all the power upfront without any additional mana investment, though the Blightan can put some serious power on board with its incubator tokens.

#9. Titan of Littjara

Titan of Littjara is quite narrow, since it only makes sense in a typal deck, and many of those already have their own dedicated draw engines. But this plugs into decks that don’t have a ton of card advantage, which gives it a home in some less established typal decks.

#8. Inferno Titan

Inferno Titan still feels good to cast, but few decks in any format care about a 6-drop red creature these days. You need to be playing a slow environment for Inferno Titan to really matter, and even then it feels outclassed by Fury or Overlord of the Boilerbilges, to name a couple competitors.

#7. Sun Titan

Sunny T is totally fine, but far from being the mono-white staple you’d expect to see in every yearly Commander precon release. Remember when we used to get those only once per year? Sun Titan is still strong, but streamlined curves and increased access to card advantage in white have eclipsed it.

#6. Sludge Titan

Sludge Titan is the most obscure titan with a single print in Ravnica: Clue Edition. It usually draws two cards on each trigger while also filling up the graveyard, which is exactly what you want in Golgari () colors.

#5. Kroxa, Titan of Death’s Hunger

Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger embodies the Jund philosophy by spearheading grindy gameplay where you whittle your opponent down on resources. It attacks the hand, and once escaped, attacks the face. That’s a lot of bodily coverage, and this is the worst of the escape titans.

#4. Grave Titan

The Gravy Train has been power crept, but not by so much that you can’t just resolve this or reanimate it and give people a taste of 2010s Magic. Grave Titan is often found in zombie decks despite not being a zombie itself, and is a forever Tier 2 reanimation target in high-power cubes.

#3. Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath

Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath was the obvious winner between the two Theros Beyond Death titans. Not that Kroxa’s bad, but Uro accelerates your gameplan instead of merely disrupting the opponent. And it does so in an obnoxious way, giving you a life buffer, ramping, and being the lategame wincon you plan on ramping into.

#2. Primeval Titan

Banned in Commander and frequently topping Modern tounraments, Prime Time is the easy best of the original M11 Titans, at least if you fast forward 15 years after release. This level of nonbasic land ramp is hard to keep up with, and forms the entire basis of decks like Modern Primeval Titan decks.

#1. Phlage, Titan of Fire’s Fury

Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury looked at the first two escape titans and decided it wanted to give them the Modern Horizons 3 treatment of being overtuned for no particular reason. Lightning Helix on ETB and attacks is so hard to race, since you’re constantly gaining life, picking off threats, and eventually going upstairs for 9 a turn. It paves the way to its own late game, where it wins in just an attack or two.

Best Titan Payoffs

Titan’s not a creature type, so you won’t get any typal support here, though almost all of the creatures ranked above are giants, so you could try some sort of multi-color giants pile with support like Cyclone Summoner and Calamity Bearer.

Outside of that, you’re either focusing on enters triggers, attack triggers, or both. Anything that doubles a trigger should do the trick, though you can specialize with Panharmonicon on one end or Windcrag Siege on the other. Fractured Realm catches both sides of their abilities.

These creatures also tend to play well in graveyard spaces. Grave Titan’s a solid reanimation target, while Blight Titan, Sludge Titan, and Sun Titan feed off the graveyard as well. The escape titans obviously care about a density of cards in your graveyard, too.

Wrap Up

WotC loves revisiting the titan template, even when it’s used on non-Titan creatures. It’s an easy way to ensure some big creature gets value while it’s in play, both by guaranteeing you get something upfront, and promising something more if the creature lives to attack. There’s a reason these titans are usually rares or mythics.

Pretty much all of these titans see some amount of play still, which is a testament to just how powerful that original cycle was when it released.
