How the fuck did that even get printed?

It's an unfortunate effect of the introduction of the "mythic" rarity. The design team had to make cards printed at mythic feel more powerful than a rare. Of course, it doesn't always succeed...

What? Is the point of that card to deck your opponent?

No, the point of that card is to change a game where you're losing into a game where you're losing and your opponent is annoyed by how long it's taking to kill you.

Actually, with enough reset buttons and deck-riflers that'd be a damn valid strategy. Especially with a smattering of blue, or in... whateverthehell they're calling Type-II nowadays.

Fuck you. I am so not getting into this again.

Meet one of my favorite cards from the last five years.



Combined with the right kind of defenders...



It's a very fun deck.

If by 'fun' you mean 'makes the opponent want to jump the table and kick you in the dick'.

It might help if you link to gatherer or somewhere else that doesn't delete the images shortly after. Just a thought.

Is there some other way to describe a fun deck?

I don't quite grok how the Hatchling fits in.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Cheap defender, ties up the red zone while you drill away at your opponent's library. It lacks the built in mill of the hedron crab, but Innistrad block has no shortage of mill.

Too bad we're at an all-time high for having cards that reshuffle your yard into your library.

(If anyone knows a way to make two images sit side-by-side in BBcode, I'd like to know of such wizardry.)

Well, I was thinking of actually useful ones that see play, like the legendary eldrazi or the new worldspine wurm.

Oh, I know. I was riffing off Bongo's comment, looking for the cards that came closest.

Don't forget the card that was designed as an anti-mill solution:

Fuck you. I am so not getting into this again.

That reminds me of the story in the ancient Pocket Player's Guide about how one of the playtesters had a deck where he would Swords to Plowshares your dudes and then cast Timetwister, over and over until you were bloated with life but completely out of creatures. Then he would kill you with Llanowar Elves.

I wonder if that strategy would still be viable...

Except for Swords to Plowshares only being legal in formats other much more dangerous cards are also legal in, no problem.

So yeah. Sadly that deck ain't gonna work.
