Underrated?

Hey all!
I'm just curious on cards you find underrated in its format, either one, or many cards.
I wanted to ask this question after looking at Fabled Hero , and thinking of all the possibilities in White decks out there (Particularly a Bant Enchant deck )
I'm just thinking of the possibilities behind a T-3 (or even T-2 in the right deck) Fabled Hero , followed up with Unflinching Courage and/or Aqueous Form ... Just seems so good!!
Back to the question anyways, what're some cards y'all find underrated?

That's true... I forgot variables existed, haha. I probably shouldn't play magic when running on fumes of sleep, haha

I know it's an infect creature but Phyrexian Crusader is powerful in modern since he dodges most of the popular removal

Alpha Authority can stop those pesky Doom Blade cards.

Underrated card? Hmmmmm... let's see. I would have to say Prognostic Sphinx
. I run him in a BUG build. Through the card advantage that I generate, giving him hex proof is not hard, the scry 3 is amazing when I have Jace online and his size (3/5) keeps him away from being hit by the red sweepers. Pretty much, the only way to kill it in my meta is to cast Supreme Verdict
.
I honestly think that its a pretty solid card for BUG. I hope that BOG brings us a good set of cards for those colors. And don't go saying that one PW, I have no use for it at the moment, LOL.

@Epochalyptik I actually meant this for the topic to include every format, including non-competition ones, standard just happened to be the main conversation piece.
@blackmarker90 Man, Vraska the Unseen is one of my favorite planeswalkers! I just wish she defended herself better... However, that +1 does make an opponent think twice about attacking her! Especially if you have blockers. In my personal experience though, I usually ended up bleeding her dry with the middle-ability '

It depends on the matchup on how ill use Vraska most of the time

Dragonshift is really overlooked i think. i run it in my izzet homebrew with Goblin Electromancer and Young Pyromancer and it's my best win con

Dragonshift is not a bad card, but its overload costs so much it can be a killer. It does, however, avoid Anger of the Gods because of the P/T change, but in all honesty, the card makes it almost unplayable. Now in a dragon-tribal deck I ran a while ago, I ran 2 of them with Utvara Hellkite and a Scourge of Valkas as well...every attack I was dropping a 6/6 Dragon, and smashing something (or someone) with an increasing amount of damage, with that as my ace in the hole. If played right, it is great...but it is a very limited card.

It's a really great turn 3 play until you get a doom blade, dreadbore, or hero's downfall and get 3 for 1.
