Out of all the cards in standard right now, what would you guys nominate as top 5 most awful?

Well, Goblin Test Pilot is sure up there.

Search Warrant, Destroy the Evidence, Trait Doctoring (the actual worse imo), Tome Scour, Five-Alarm Fire.

There are many more useless cards in the pool.

Island.

AHHAHA

Trait Doctoring is so bad.

Y'all already forget about Search the City and Conjured Currency?

primal visitation

I change my vote to this.

crackling perimeter, sphinx of the chimes, and my fav blast of genius

I've won so many games with crackling perimeter that it can't possibly make this list.

1.) Thoughtseize
2.) Sphinx's Revelation
3.) Obzedat, Ghost Council
4.) Stormbreath Dragon
5.) Jace, Architect of Thought

seems legit

for me it's a toss-up between Shimmering Grotto and Bogbrew Witch.

Azorius Charm.

I nominate the entire staff of the X magus cycle. Nearly every card in this thread I've seen in some competitive deck but these are just garbage.

And armored cancrix

artificer's hex
/thread

That one might end up having its uses, but for now (with a total of 0 equipments being played) I agree with you it's completely useless.

Anyway, my vote goes to Trait Doctoring. Man, how I hated cracking a pack and seeing one of those...

trait doctoring is pure design failure. one of the worst in history.

Basically this, its phrased to be the most useless version of an already terrible series of rares. The color change rare is always a trashy blue rare but this one is even bad by their standards and that is saying something.

This person probably runs a playset of Darksteel Forge

Trait Doctoring wins it for me. Goblin Test Pilot runner-up. Can't think of three more cards as obviously terribly bad as these.

This would have been a much more interesting thread if the caveat was "top 5 worst cards BEING PLAYED in standard right now"

Primal Visitation is so bad I can't even look at it for more than 3 seconds straight. Always a last-pick in Gatecrash limited.

2 pages in, and no one has mentioned Search the City?
I'd play a 0/2 flyer with no abilities for 3, or an aura that pumps a creature by 3 (and technically is semidecent with burning-tree emissary) long before i'd spend 5 mana on an enchantment that does absolutely nothing. Search is worse than trait doctoring (which repeatedly triggers heroic). Trait doctoring is probably #2, and search warrant definitely deserves a shout out.
