I got bored of this and explored other strategies. Mono green howl of the nightpack was funny but negate ruins it. W(x) Angelic Accord was pretty unstoppable but you needed some key cards to do it. Then I came across a tactic called B/R Sacrifice. This plan revolves around a common Act of Treason. The best thing about taking someones best creature isnt just beating them in the face with it though. Its sacrificing it afterward. I translated this strategy to EDH, where there are things that are tough to deal with. Like Avacyn, Angel of Hope... steal her for a turn, sacrifice. Voila!!
In EDH, Gargadon sits in exile as a sac outlet. He cant be removed or disabled or detained, after he resolves you can swing, sac, return him to hand or topdeck and resuspend.
Coming in a close tie for second place are the following:
Cyclonic Rift (deserves a ban, along with Consecrated Sphinx)
Sedris, the Traitor King. (my beloved commander)
Whip of Erebos. (Sedris no.2)
Sneak Attack. best flavor text "Nothin beats surprise. 'cept rock." gotta love that goblin logic.
Thanks MTGS, I love the new layout
It's one of those cards that is both balanced and broken at the same time. Hard casting it gives you a respectable 2/2 flyer, and 2 cards in hand. Absolutely fine for any control deck trying to stabilize, or any combo deck digging for combo pieces. Evoking it gives you a Divination, which at times is exactly what you need. This alone would make for a fine card, but there is so much more. He works wonderfully with Revillark, and insane with cards like Momentary Blink. Heck, any thing that blinks him is great. Oh, and that art...gorgeous.
I went out and traded so many cards until I got a playset of them, and to this day I still have the original playset. I even have an old school deck with 4 of them in it, its purely casual and to play for fun, but to this day it is one of my most favourite casual decks I own. I've made changes to the deck over the years, but it still has (and will always have) the 4 original Jester's Cap that I collected when I first started
The card is red efficiency as its finest - powerful removal and a fat body left behind for a mere four mana.
