What is the worst card in Magic: The Gathering?

[Getsickanddie]

Wow...If I had to make a list of the worst cards it would look much diffrent...my vote if for:

Winner.

[Jaynel]

Great Wall is broken, are you kidding?!

See this is you're that much of a scrub.

Similarly, at RPI, one guy there played a Keeper deck, about 7 years ago... To screw around for a while, he replaced his kill mech with Donate, Sorrow's Path, and Icy Manipulator... I believe the card got errataed that it isn't whenever it gets tapped now, though...

Great Wall and all the 'Bands with Other Legends'-lands from Legends. My Mindslaver/Donate-deck wins with Sorrow's Path.

apoc chime could be useful in homelands block constructed

I actually had to ban Apocalypse Chime in Homelands Set Constructed (it ain't a block), along with Serrated Arrows and Memory Lapse.

Tobias is actually a perfectly fine Limited-card. I dunno what it's doing on the list. Chimney Imp is worse. Also, Squire is actually just fine for the creature level of its day; 1W creatures didn't get much better than that save for the broken Blacksmith. Aven Trooper and Chimney Imp are the 'bad creatures'.


Actually, building and playing Homelands Set Constructed was some of the most fun I've ever had playing Magic. It's really a set that's designed only to be played with itself. You should try it sometimes. Also, Homelands-based tribal was awesome (having to play one of the Homelands-tribes).

I'm surprised you didn't have to ban Anaba Grunt. That card is so swingy.

Worthless

[ThatGuyThere]

My choice.

Everything it does, other cards do better. It's just painfully bad.

So bad I had to join after months of lurking, just to share it's awfulness.

Now, back to lurking.

See while I agree that is bad, its not one of the worst of all time...I mean that could see some play in Tempst Block Limited or even Tempst Constructed...I also think is you call this card bad then you have to include Shatter in the same talks...

BTW...Welcome to the source...

Great Wall gets my vote. It stops three creatures in the 15 year history of the game. Not to mention - no one plays with them...OR this card. Which, in turn, would make it the worst.

I did... when I started playing magic with my friends, homelands was still sold in a store or 2 around here. since they were cheaper than the other boosters we bought a lot of homelands lol. not until later we realised the set was terrible and we started buying tempest, but I still have some fond memories from back then

Not to take away from how bad Great Wall is, while it only stops 4 legal creatures, it does stop one other card too. Here is the list of cards that Great Wall stops...




Oh yeah we can't forget...

I voted for "One with Nothing" because it's the only bad card that actually insults you. There's nothing worse than ripping open a booster, eagerly flipping back to the rare, and finding out that you are one with nothing. I'd rather find a basic land.

Even Rosewater had to defend it by saying:

This is the important message of this column about One With Nothing. It was not created solely to piss you off.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

I think if it wasn't for the fact that you go two rares in Time Spiral, Moonlace would be worse then One with Nothing

Unless you open Moonlace and Squire.

Really?

[kirdape3]

It was a sideboard card for the BWG control decks against Owl, which otherwise destroyed them. They'd Sudden Impact, and the BWG guy would dump his hand and try to race.

[Goaswerfraiejen]

Snowfall. It pays for itself. It also might maybe help pay for Illusions of Grandeur (which I think was the point until Donate came out).

My favourite.

But I love the flavour text.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

Most cards that have the phrase "Cumulative Upkeep" more then once are bad.

Ooo, I liked that deck, let's port it to Legacy, regardless of flaws in the core engine. By "let's," I don't necessarily mean you and me, I just mean somebody.

Also, once Odyssey rotates out, Extended Dredge decks will use One with Nothing as a discard outlet ;)

No love for Oona's Prowler, Greenseeker, or Llanowar Mentor?

With the spell shapers, you can at least go turn one creature, turn two not concede.
