So i did a booster draft tonight and got my ass whipped. Not really a suprise there booster has always been my achilles heel, switching stratagies midway through the draft probally didnt help. Anyway it got me thinking about the differences in a card performance depending on the format its in. For example, i was playing rb, in constructed bladetusk boar is a so so card. However, the times i played it, it was a house basically a 3/2 unblockable for 4, i owe most of the matches i won to it Watercouser, again normally a weak card, but it kept me in check a couple times

So, what do you all think are other cards in the current standard, that are under-performers in constructed but houses in limited

I've only done a few M13 drafts, but these are so-so cards which I think are pretty good.

- Tormented Soul. Good in an exalted deck, also good with Mark oft the Vampire.
- Chronomaton. It starts out so small. but in longer games, it can get quite big.
- Deadly Recluse. Trades with practically any attacker. Frustrating for opponents.
- Mogg Flunkies. Can be insane with Reckless Brute or Flinthoof Boar on turn 3.
- Primal Clay. Versatile and always useful.

Public Execution and Talrand's Invocation are both pretty ridiculous in draft, as is the uncommon cycle of creatures that care about the counter-clockwise ally land. Prized Elephant, Arctic Aven, Harbor Bandit, Crimson Muckwader and Flinthoof Boar. Roaring Primadox can also be devastating, especially if paired with Elvish Visionary or Bond Beetle.
