MTG Salvation

Tooth and Nail and Plow Under. I still have mental scars from the beatings I took at the hands of those two cards during Mirrodin standard.

EDIT: Linked

Thalia when I have Supreme Verdict in hand

Timely Reinforcements, I ****ing hated that card when it was in standard. It just pissed me off beyond belief.

Also recently Thalia has been a pain to play around.

Tangle wire
Pyreheart Wolf with Lightning Mauler (No removal? You're dead)
Stasis

Shahrazad , Scrambleverse, and Platinum Angel.

I've said this in a similar thread in the past, but my baby punching vote is for batterskull. I like to play aggro decks and this idiot card just steps in and undoes so much of the momentum you set up that it's practically unfair. And

why the hell does the thing have vigilance instead of trample? It's a friggin' battering ram! Just dumb, OP crap.

In standard it would have to be Rhox Faithmender. Stupid big butt rhino *grumbles*

Counterspell
Put an Isochron Scepter on it, and I will slam the baby against 3 walls after punching it... lol

Palinchron because I play too many EDH games that boil down to "Drop Palinchron, pull one of the 95 infinite combos with him, gg?"

Trinisphere. A card made by the devil, forged in Hell, and played by only the most evil of players. Last time I played against one, I performed an exorcism, and as he screamed, his deck caught fire, and the unharmed Trinisphere was sucked into the earth. The player was hospitalized, but no cute cuddly animals were harmed. Lesson? Don't play Trinisphere.

It used to be Mana Leak when it was in standard.

Now it's turn 2 GoST and even worse when I'm on the draw.

Sigarda and Geist. Hexproof is awful.

Lately? Anybody playing mono red. ANY mono red.

You must be terrified of the good mono red players then

Is there anyone in the world who likes being locked out of the game by Jace, the Mind Sculptor 's fateseal ability?

Palinchron. Palinchron. Palinchron. Palinchron.

Did I mention Palinchron? That card serves no purpose other than to set up infinite mana combos and destroy otherwise enjoyable games.

You'll hate me, then. I actually have 3 Mono-Red decks (Standard, Legacy and an all foil casual burn deck).

If someone plays Stasis against me, I figure it is invitation for me to punch you in the face. Repeatedly.

Quote from Ulquiorra9000

Wurmcoil Engine. It's way too powerful for a colorless 6-drop and any deck can play it! Like others have said, cards like this one simplify things too much by playing a huge creature that overwhelms your opponent just by being there Bombs ought to take a little more work and set-up in order to really work.

yeeah all me and my friends sideboards (or mainboards) used to be crammed with coils. they were even nuts in mono red to win the mirror


Gaddok Teag is the most infuriating hatebear ever

Ugh... Dark Confidant

Quote from jaytothen

Agreed. Any form of Infect. I don't mind discard, land destruction, combo, gravehate, whatever, but Infect I hate with a passion.

Triple agree.

For me the main culprit would have to be inkmoth nexus. So much more difficult to remove.

Grim Monolith. Sol Ring is fun, but somehow not this card.

Also, Elves. But only bad Elves. When bad Elves show up but the deck is still impregnable that's a groan.

It's weird, but I HATE playing against creature decks. I LOVE my lands getting destroyed, spells getting countered and thirty minute turns on the other side of the table. I also like playing those decks.
