I can't remember the name of the card, but the flavor text was "Of course you fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire."- Jaya, Task Mage
I have always liked Patrol Hound: To the camp, it was a fierce and loyal protector. To the sentry's youngest daughter, it would always be her Wuv Muffin.
Other than that, you grabbed the rest of my favorites, including Hex, Reparations, and Foul Imp.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.

10th edition Arcanis the Omnipotent is sweet.
I really like Break Asunder as well. This is one you really have to 'combine' with the art to have a good appreciation for it.
There are a bunch of others I like that I can't even think of right now...

Hmm, that wasn't the version I was talking about...but I guess I'm glad I did because it's pretty damned decent.
Also like Grandmother Sengir, Shivan Dragon (4th), Royal Assassin (4th) & Gorilla Chieftain (Oh no, not YOU again!)
