WOW!! I am Shocked No one on here as said Deft Dualist yet
he takes a top spot in Underrated cards for sure yeah he dies to early game sweepers but that is his only draw back
2/1 Shroud First Strike for UW is awesome! its stops alot of early game in its tracks(Great Against Vampires and Bushwaker) which is all that UWC was missing
I don't think this is cancel's time to shine, but I do think it's... over-hated.
I can definitely agree with this. I think people got huffy because he said that it's Cancel's "time to shine". This was perhaps going a bit far...

I actually do think this card will find its way into a deck. There are a large number of decks that need very specific non-blue mana (jund, vampires, 5cc) and this screws them over and helps you out.
For all those 4cc or 5cc decks still floating around I would think Nicol Bolas would be better than cruel ultimatum right now. Turn 4 DoJ followed by turn 7 Cruel is pretty hard to get off without vivids, but Nicol Bolas is a lot less mana intensive. Highly underrated.

Spreading sea's has worked out against me. Good SB. Great MD if you know the local meta and it's favorable to use it.
Deft Duelist only need to worry about sweepers, blocking 1+x/3's, and sac effects. It forced your opponent out to cast pyroclasm turn 2 if he's RDW. Deft can be a funny little tool. I like it.
Overrated:
-baneslayer angel: People are running this thing without other creatures as if it will ever get to swing. It's very strong...but people DO run removal, lots of it, and if you haven't played another creature that they had to remove, guess what's dying?

It's funny how people still don't understand how to use internet sarcasm. Plus, this is just a dumb post, and I'd consider it spam. It's a 1U Draw a Card at sorcery speed. Now their land is an Island. Guess what? They have other land.

Amazing Avy & Sig by mchief111 @ Rising Studios [4/22/11]
Magister Sphinx - in the right deck, this card is incredibly underrated. I play an u/w/b control deck, and I don't do any damage to my opponent until I land one of my finishers. That means when I play this card, my opponent is still at 15-20+ life. 7 mana for a 5/5 flyer that does 10 damage to the dome when it comes into play, and then puts your opponent on a 2 turn clock is pretty good.
and waste your negate just to protect your baneslayer angel?
Are you trolling? If you're running her it's probably your win condition (or alternate at least), especially in UW Control, the decks entire point is to keep her alive and win with it. It's a very hyped card, I agree, but you're not giving it the credit it deserves. You obviously have never played against a good player running Baneslayer Angels.

If you are running baneslayer as a UW control win condition, you aren't a good player running baneslayers.
I won a game with a Chimney Imp, once. A 6 player FFA game.
I cast Soulscour after this Slivers player had killed everybody else, and then played Chimney Imp with a Boneslayer attached to it, and hit him for 3 over 7 turns.
CHIMNEY IMP IS THE DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
...
Then again, I won with Sorrow's Path before, too. [I killed a unmorphed ... that 4-mana Angel with it. The one that gains life. He was too low to morph it with his lands, since they were all City of Brass's.]
Anyways, where was I? Oh, yeah.
Forgot about Magma Pheonix. That's good.
There are a lot of cards that are good but just don't have places. Where's Esper Charm anymore? Egh.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
mind spring is awesome. Its like a monoblue cruel ultimatum.

Overrated: Baneslayer Angel, anything to do with the word Vampire and also anything that only uses jund cards and 2010 dual lands
Underrated: Nissa, black that dosen't use vampires and kors
Any White deck with a lot of creatures running this pisses people off. I actually had a guy the other week say to his friend, "Wait he's beating you with brave the elements?!"
Overrated: Baneslayer
Sure its a 5/5 for 5 with lots of stuff to boot, but path, terminate, Oblivion Ring, ect.ect. all say, "Sup" to Baneslayer.

Fairly certain he was referring to Chimney Imp, generally considered the worst card that doesn't actually hurt you (see Sorrow's Path).
I'm disappointed that Scute Mob and Cosi's Trickster have yet to find spots.

What is a good player?
I'm not sure if it's underrated, but I think Mind Spring is not a bad card draw in some control decks.
