Hey, you came here to play Magic? Well, that's too bad, why don't you sit here and watch me jack off for the next twenty five minutes. Oh, hey, you got lucky and I couldn't climax? I'm just gonna' scoop now cus I have no second win-con.
Seriously **** Storm.
Who takes 25 minutes to win with storm?
Invisible Stalker in Limited formats. It's either terrible or nearly unbeatable; there's really no in-between.
Giest of St. Traft has become a pet hate of mine. Especially since it is currently so prevalent in my local meta.
Bonus hatred points for Angelic destiny attached to him...
I'm excited for Kubla Con in a few weeks, but it brings back memories of being obliterated by Tempered Steel and Steel Overseer. I mean really? Double Glorious Anthem? Why couldn't they make it more like Honor of the Pure or Favorable Wind? And Steel Overseer is ridiculous. 2 mana and you don't even have to pay mana for his ability? While Immaculate Magistrate was 4 mana, turn 2 Overseer and turn 3 Tempered Steel is just a ridiculous play, particularly with all those 0-drops. Looks like I need me some more Ancient Grudges.
A friend of mine is a big red burn player and I swear like I bring a creature out... lightning bolt. Bring out a bigger creature... 2 lightning bolts. I'm down to 3 health and I'm ready to kill him... lightning bolt.
Also: First turn, discard giant monster. Land. Land and Exhume.
There are quite a few cards that grind my gears, but the one that's teed me off on the most occasions is "Sperm Gazer". Going up against free counterspells is no fun.
Umezawa's Jitte, hands down. It's one of the most retarded pieces of equipment ever.
I hate Jitte so much I buy them to burn them. Seriously, its the one card to me that could be banned in all formats and I still wouldnt be happy it was ever printed.
As a limited player I think they could manage to print more constructed-viable cards which don't break limited in these common slots yet they persist in printing boring jank like Goblin Piker and Coral Merfolk.
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
What, maverick is now also a prison deck? Because we all knew that one of the most resilient decks needed to be MORE resilient.
Maverick already has an advantage over control, thalia is supremely unnecessary.

Blue does not get 3/2 flying for U. it just doesnt. Wild Nacatl? fine, i understand. thats the 3 most aggresive colors combining into a distilled creature. This is not 3 colors, it is one, and it makes me angry

Mindslaver, no doubt about it. It is the most hateful, humiliating, patronizing, and unfun card in the game. Even when I come back from it just fine I feel violated and it taints the game with the stench of evil. If I could go back in time and wipe the existence of this card from the game (no matter the consequences) I would probably do it, but since it is not broken I would never call for it to be banned, however.
I think I just have an issue with being controled. One of my biggest fears are Marionettes, and that is in part due to the controlling puppet master issue. I have always been bothered by the idea of mind control for so many reasons, and I avoid story elements that touch on it as much as I can. As a kid I was always ashamed at how much Pinocchio scared me on so many levels that I never told anyone and as a result had to watch it several times.
Baneslayer Angel
It is just too far over the curve. Mostly I'm pissed off that it basically makes Serra Angel obsolete. A Stasis or Winter Orb can hit the table and it won't even phase me but BSA brings up some negative emotions. It's not like it was a reasonable card that someone broke or a card that was printed too powerful as an oversight, they ramped it up to a silly level on purpose to sell packs.

Zealous Conscripts. Hits the turn right when control starts to stabilize, wins games out of nowhere that really should not be won, and its only just entered standard. I can't imagine what its going to be like once this card really catches on.

Channel. I can get a little demoralized when people play cards that are good against me, but I played the Cube Drafts on MTGO, and I understand intimately why Channel is Banned/Restricted in like every format now. In a particular match with an opponent, on game one he plays turn two Channel, then Wurmcoil Engine, Myr Battlesphere, and Palladium Myr. I thought it was hilarious, and gracefully took my loss. Game two, he plays turn two Scorned Villager off of a Hinterland Harbor and a Forest. Turn three, he plays Island, Channel into Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Wurmcoil Engine, and Fellwar Stone. This is where I realized that I had absolutely no chance to win any of these games at all, and I feel like I'm going to lose my mind if another person ever casts Channel against me, haha.
Show and Tell. T2 Show and Tell. Reveal Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Herp derp. I'm good at Magic because of the intricate thought process that went into that skillful play.
Counterbalance with Top. Either you are thrilled to be countering all your opponent's spells or you frustrated that you are missing every one. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground haha.
Tangle Wire. I lost to it in a tourney back in Urza's block times. I had a difficult time sitting there doing a ton of nothing while my opponent took his time to kill me. I admit it. I cried a little inside.

I lose 80% of the games where my commander opponent has either (or both) out turn 1 and I dont.
Conversely, I win 80% of the time when I do. stupid mana advantage makes for boring games.

Me and my buddies routinely play Stack (Type 4) and there is an overabundance of cards that disgust me to no end:
Giant Solifuge, AKA Captain Tickles
Silence
Odious Trow AKA Trow dem Bows
Are all equally obnoxious in this format, yet whenever I rip them they blow

I hate Jitte so much I buy them to burn them. Seriously, its the one card to me that could be banned in all formats and I still wouldnt be happy it was ever printed.
IE: Door to Nothingness and Coalition Victory and seriously forget Platinum Angel. Even if they are easy to get around I can't stand seeing them in the first place and i refuse to play them.
