Worst card in Magic

You know it's been a long time since I saw a thread like this.

Probably a reason for that, but there's been so many changes anymore that a lot of the same old stuff isn't true anymore. So I couldn't resist.

I used to think Sorrow's Path was the worst. It's a crappy land that doesn't even tap for a colorless. What's it's ability you ask? Oh you can re-arrange two of the opponents blocking creatures. Not so bad, at least it's ability is marginally useful in certain circumstances. Too bad it has a built in self-pyroclasm and Psychic Venom. But if you saw that stupid fun deck I made with it, you know that's it at least can be used in one way.

After that I picked Wood Elemental. You do get a whole 1/1 for 4 mana and a sacrifice of an untapped Forest! OMG amazing! I guess you do get something out of it. If you want to go balls to the wall, you may even get a 3/3 or so before you die to just about any deck. Truly epic.


Then a friend pointed out this gem.

Tahngarth's Glare

R Sorcery

Look at the top three cards of target opponent's library, then put them back in any order. That player looks at the top three cards of your library, then puts them back in any order.

So basically you get to re-arrange the other guy's top 3 cards. Then they get to do this to you? Well, shit that sucks. I can barely think of a situation I would like this.



I've heard there's even a worse card out there. Some creature that's sure to screw you over hard. Know it?

Not a creature, but yeah...

Every card mentioned so far has at least A USE, so they're not the "worst"... Wood Elemental is the most useless suggested so far.

I'd say that by "Worst Card" you mean most useless, right?

I dunno about you guys, but Renewal seems like total shit.

Seriously, WFT?

And yeah, Renewal seems strictly worse than Harrow in all the ways that matter.

And maybe Thresh? Point is, I'm sure OWN (holy shit it spells out "OWN"!) has more corner cases where it has a use than say, Sorrow's Path.

I've heard it works with the new Cheese Stands Alone...

I submit, for your viewing pleasure:

Epic win.


I know Im boarding at least 4.

I think that's the winner.

Great Wall doesn't cost you a land drop.

Now that is the worst card ever.

I always do, just for that 3cc Merfolk from Homelands that pops up now and again.

I'm going to second Extirpate. It's worse than all of these others because people actually run it.

Homelands has no Merfolk. Was Seasinger what you were thinking of?

How does "bands with other" work again?

Squire at least blocks a turn 1 lackey. Give it some credit.

Edit: OMG it costs 1W. yep that seals it. Worst card ever. Squire.

Also, Moonlace is pretty bad and palemoon.

Evidently.

whats the 8 mana 1/1?

Scornful Egotist. Combos with Rush of Knowledge, though.

Mold Demon is my pick.

Scornful Egotist. But it morphs for U!!!! Basically printed to enable CMC-maters shenanigans in Scourge.

The worst card ever is easily break open, why would you want to morph up your opponents creature for him at sorcery speed.

Force of Will, closely followed by Counterbalance. I wish people would stop playing that shit.

Tendrils of Agony, and Brain Freeze. I wish people were less retarded.

It might be an instant but still turning your opponents creatures face-up is horrible.

I always thought Digeridoo was hilarious - go ahead and cheat the hurloon minotaur into play.

Digeridoo was the one of the cornerstones of the best Legacy/1.5 deck every, probably not in the running for worst card.

But, seriously, guys, that Tarmgoyf is about as bad as it gets, I mean, God, there's only, like, 8 different card types and you have to have them ALL to get his maximum efficiency. God, do you think that's enough hoops to jump through? But wait!!! He also requires an investment of Green. Seriously, who plays green? And you better pray nobody Delves or Tormod's Crypts.



So, back on topic... Disarm is pretty useless outside of Mirrodin Block.

It's funny that you mention Tarmogoyf like that.. I really think he is an over-rated creature. He seems to be in everything that runs green, or splashes it for that matter. And if he's not in it, he's considered. On top this, he has no evasion, no-nothing. He's just a big lump that sits there.

But, I'm not going to deny it, I own my play-set.

Yeah, he kinda sucks. You guys should all stop playing him.

I actually agree. Most of these bad cards are just ignored, but this card has actually made real decks worse. I don't think anything can top that.

One with Nothing was actually used in tournament play and I've even seen it in a few madness builds (that obviously suck). The fact it was used in standard says it's not too bad.

Nah, you need a card that does you absolutely no good whatsoever.

The Morph one is pretty close to the top though.

Sorrow's Path, obv.

Honorable mentions:

Cathedral of Serra
Adventurer's Guildhouse
Mountain Stronghold
Seafarer's Quay
Unholy Citadel

Oh, I just remembered one:

Carnival of [fucking] Souls.

Any Squire like Creature without abilities....

Chub Toad.

Well, how about Chimney Imp?

How about City of Solitude?
