Favourite (non-competitive) card?
Standard forum

What's your favourite card in standard right now that isn't that great?
For me it would be Warclamp Mastiff or Prized Elephant . The mastiff is irritating for an opponent but gets redundant pretty quickly. The prized elephant just seems a bit ridiculous and silly.
Whenever I used to play against my friends Selesnya deck casually he'd use plants vs. zombies trading cards as tokens which was always fun.

When I started playing Magic half a year ago, my first deck ran Tormented Soul . Beefed up with Dark Favor , and Ring of Xathrid . In my casual play group back then, it was actually quite strong.
Poor Tormented Soul sees no play anymore :(
Awesome forum question!

Bloodline Keeper Flip is an awesome card, but since vampires are sort of bad right now, it doesn't really see much play :( .

Speaking of Rewind I remember one game at fnm I was watching with my brother playing. He got Tamiyo, the Moon Sage 's emblem out with Rewind in hand... It didn't take long for a scoop after that.

Love Drogskol Reaver . Too bad Mikaeus, the Unhallowed is competitive, zombie pope is always a good choice.

Sphinx of Uthuun is a win condition that gives you Fact or Fiction ! He's fun to clone.

I've actually been experimenting with the sphinx in a sorcery heavy blue mill / control deck.

Yeah, he's actually competitive in the right deck. Hmm, hard to pick something that's definitely mediocre; in the right deck, most cards I like are good! Cards that aren't good anywhere just piss me off.
Except Sanctuary Cat . Aww, who loves kitty?

I don't care what other people say, I absolutely love my Skaab Goliath . He's just so adorable...wait who am I kidding? He's a great meat wall...that can roll onto you to kill you. :3

Sanctuary Cat . JUST LOOK AT HIM AWW HE'S SO PRECIOUS
And he can kill an Eager Cadet and live to tell the tale.
Seriously, though, I have a playset of Sanctuary Cat with me every time I play in a tournament. I sometimes use them as tokens.
