"WTF is this card" thread

Camouflage

Over-complicated oracle text for an almost negligible effect + one of the most heinous arts in magic history.

Nice package.

Ok, I believe it results in: creatures are blocked at random.

If you got a lot of creatures in which some will die to a blocker, but some will kill the blocker, camouflage can let you attack with all of them for a cheap cost. Blocker will then decide if he wants to risk his blocker or not.

Or, it will give you a chance of hitting with a creature otherwise would be chump-blocked. Goblin Piledriver comes to mind :D

Have to admit it's a WTF card tho. XD

Blood Funnel's use is just way too obvious... donate anyone?
Also, that idea with belcher + altar of bones... not too shabby...

[Pastorofmuppets]

Someone find me a use for Altar of Dementia, because I have no idea why it's a $5 card.

Altar of dementia can be used as alternative to Goblin bombardment in reanimator combo deck.

I have seen decks with this, Reveillark and Saffi.

Dredge 3 instead of getting ichorid plowed? I'm in... if I thought 2 mana spells were good in dredge.

There was/is a combo in Vintage Dredge, with Altar of Dementia and Sharuum the Hegemon.

One with nothing was actually used in sideboards at one point for protection against sudden impact/netsuke decks

Oddball one. Use Altar of Dementia with Keldon Battlewagon and two Phyrexian Dreadnoughts. Play Nought 1, tap to pump Keldon, sac to mill 12, Play Nought 2, tap to Pump Keldon, sac to mill another 12, tap Keldon to itself, sacrifice it, mill 48.

I suppose Pulsemage Advocate's too easy, eh? (The answer to Vengevine lives!)

[card] tunnel [/card]

The only card Tunnel combos with at all is Trickery Charm. Every other type-changing effect specifies that you cannot choose Wall.

How about Orcish Mechanic?

I said "WTF" when I have seen first Eldrazi cards. All of them. High mana cost, totally colorless. Since then I havent seen anyone trying to play them.

Except one... I have heard about austrian player who activated Spawnsire of Ulamog and his last ability, and revealed an album with 50-70 eldrazi cards :D

There is but one card i really decided to play - All is dust.

Goblin Hero

For some reason it was a rare in starter, and let me tell you from experience, it's probably the most disappointing rare I've pulled. Also the original print of it (the dark) has absolutely hideous art.

Really weird art, totally useless ability.

Altar is an easy one. Two Karmic guides is good game. Old trick. It was actually in standard at one time.


Orcish Mechanics actually had a use too. Su-Chi. Sad, but we used to actually do crap like that when it wasn't such a fast game.

the old oracle used to be awesome "if a land would come into play, instead it doesn't

how could two karmic guide go infinite?

Sacrifice a Guide to the Altar in response to its ETB trigger so the one that comes it to play as a result of the ETB resolving can target the first one. Repeat until your opponent is out of cards.
