No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Some of the worst creatures and cards in Magic...

Even Norin the Wary is more useful than these cards.

BTW, combo cards such as Sky Swallower and One with Nothing don\'t count, as well as Norin the Wary.
Neither do old fatties such as Leviathan and Polar Kraken, because in 1994, those upkeep costs was the drawback for playing stuff that huge.
Got any recommendations for this list? Please tell.

Deck discussion for The worst cards imaginable

There is no such thing as a bad card. Some of these cards need to be combod with other cards to be effective, such as moonlace and tresserhorn skynight. Some were created before the keywords were-Sheltered valley is simply a legendary land giving the mana screwed a chance. Some don't make sense now but did at the time they were printed, Romom serpent and slaughterhouse. Some are beneficial only in certain conditions, soaring hope and zephyer spirit

And some appear bad simply because people don't understand the benefit to them-chimney imp or more often then not don't know how to abuse them-Grozoth
Look at Scornful Egotist-sooner or later someone will add him to this list a 1/1 no abilities morpher for 8 mana. how can he not be the worst card ever. And here it is over 10 years since he was printed and i can say he is not the worst because of 2 words

Puca's mischief - it's all about how the cards are played

Egotist is useful.. For clash, and high cmc spells.

Still, Egotist's use is exactly why it's not on the list.

Also, the uses for some cards such as moonlace, while useful in certain situations, is so situational that it's never used. That's why it's on the list.

I have a friend with what we like to call the 'Power Nine' deck. Grozoth when paired with Myojin of Life's Web and some choice other nine-mana cost cards is an absolute monster in multi-player casual games.

Play Grozoth put 2 Terrors, 2 moonlace, and a fireshieker in your hand. Fireshieker to your Grozoth. Terror away the Chameleon Colossus and the Doomgape. grozoth for the win.

I, uh, don't think you understand how Grozoth works. I doesn't look for multiple cards with casting cost totaling nine; it looks for any number of cards with casting cost of exactly nine. My friend uses it to pull out Nullstone Gargoyles, Blazing Archons, Reya Dawnbringer, Plague Winds, and Spirit of the Nights and dump them all into play at once with the Myojin. Like I said, not too effective in organized play, but certainly in our casual games.

Grozoth should also get some credit for being a blue 9/9 with no real negative side effects, like Polar Kraken or Leviathan. Granted, he has a four mana cost every turn to turn off his defender, but surely that's much less painful that sacrificing FOUR islands for Leviathan to stay in play and attack? Compare him to Krosan Colossus (a card that didn't make your list) -- three green, six colorless for a 9/9 with no powers other than morph. For beats in blue, he's not bad.

Grozoth is better then you think he can find all cards you have that cost 9 so if you have 4 in your deck and you play 1 you get the other 3 into your hand right then and there and if nothing else that results in a 9/9 blocker played every turn
