OVERplayed cards?

Good [greeting based on time zone that you're in], internet!
The question I have today is--What Cards Are Overplayed in EDH? You don't have to dislike the card, but maybe you think people put it a little higher than it deserves to be. I myself believe Fragmentize is overplayed, as it can't hit a Conjurer's Closet or anything of the sort, nor can you play it reactively, something I think is quite important in the format.
Anyways, let me know what you think!
TriusMalarky I'm well aware. What if those good cards are already in the deck and you need more card-draw? That's where I like it. I know it's not Rhystic Study and Windfall and Phyrexian Arena ;)

VampDemigod - the fact that Mind Stone can cycle itself puts it in par with colored rocks. Its added redundancy in ramp and when paired with something like Emry or Glissa that can recur it is where it really shines. Though in less grindy/cedh metas it'll typically get the cut in anything that's not mono red Godo.

RNR_Gaming I personally don’t value that ability that highly, as I love card draw, and probably overuse it in my decks. While I can see it being useful in draw-light decks, it’s less useful in most of my decks.
But yes, I understand your point.

I’d say that mind stone is ok, and from a standpoint of mana rocks, it’s ok. But considering all the far better mana rocks out there, even at 2 mana, it’s really not needed.
And I haven’t watched the video, but I’d imagine that the power of 2-drop rocks depends on your ratio of 3 drops to 4 drops.
