i was reading the article "W cubed" on the main MTG website,
i noticed a little combo in the first deck designed in this article
Hedron matrix + Scornful egotist...
everyone thought that scornful egotist was a terrible card, but HELL, it isnt,
its for cards that abuse converted mana costs... :P ...
with hedron matrix that becomes a 9/9, and it has morph (U) ...
haha,
so i was wondering...
anyone else know any cards that SEEM bad like this...
but actually turn out to be REALLY useful?

it was an interesting article, what made me chuckle was how he got his numbers wrong.  the matrix gives +X/+X, where x is the equiped creatures cmc not its power, so scornful egotist becomes a 16/16

a 16/16? its converted mana cost is 8 though,
and its a 1/1; that'd make it a 9/9 with hedron matrix...?...
anyways, yea, it is an interesting article, i havent finished reading it though, cause im making a deck list for a blue deck based around paradox haze (amazing card btw :D ).

and i like finding really cool combo's like that.
it'd be kinda cool to run a deck with entirely morph stuff, if ur opponent is runnning blue, they wont know whether or not to counter stuff :P

haha, yea.
its too bad they changed the rulings with the planeswalkers though,
i knew a combo for doing infinite planeswalker abilities,
cant do it now cause of the
"the rules about playing planeswalkers' abilities only once per turn now apply to loyalty abilities."

Gilder Bairn... When I first saw this card, I already saw the possibility of infinite mana using different cards... When I asked all of my friends, they said that it's ok but it doesn't have much use...

Also, Utopia Vow is also seem a bad card because of the "can't attack or block"... But most of my friends seem to neglect the fact that it can be enchanted to a strong creature an opponent controls... That is until I showed them that... I enchanted Akroma with it, which made Akroma even weaker than Birds of Paradise...

haha, yea, gilder bairn is an amazing card :)

and yea, utopia vow IS a pretty good card too.

OHHH,
sarkhan the mad:
all my friends think its a really stupid card,
with sarkhan vol, its REALLY good anyways,
and if you use it right, its very good.

the only bad thing about sarkhan the mad is the fact that you cant ADD loyalty counters to him...

HAHA,
panoptic mirror is an AMAZING card :)
theres SO many combinations you can do with it!
