Favourite (non-competitive) card?

Standard forum

Posted on Jan. 14, 2013, 6:25 a.m. by ChiefBell

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.

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.

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.

Rewind makes me feel like I'm playing high tide.

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?
