I'll go with Erosion. First, it costs three blue, so you are not going to splash it into anything. Not going to make a concerted land destruction effort in blue. Second, the effect is really weak, you never want to give the other guy options, and both options aren't all that costly. Third, because of these two things, it doesn't go in any deck and it isn't interesting at all. You can't even really do fun crappy decks with it.

Interesting note... Nameless Race is now type "Creature" with no creature type, because it's "Nameless"... pretty cool...

Amnesia... 3UUU... well, it better do something really interesting for 6 as a sorcery in Blue (with a very heavy blue investment at UUU)... and for my mana... discarding all non-land cards just isn't it... by the time I have 3UUU, they probably don't have anything in hand... Plus, I'll want the blue mana available for other things... like Instants...

I didn't have to get far into the alphabet to find my nomination.
And darn if Black doesn't have graveyard hate going into this set...

Niall Silvane. Easy pick here. A rare, that has an insane use cost (Regeneration Aura is only 1G and costs G to use. Why spend GGGG?) Plus the artwork on this card is inexcusable. Usually I liked Rush's artwork, but not sure what he smoked before drawing this one. Probably one of the first times I ever thought "Crap Rare".

(For me, Wormwood Treefolk get's worst art... it looks like a photo of a miniature...)

Recap so far:

Amnesia - BigBlue
Deep Water - Shabbaman
Erosion - Melkor
Niall Silvane - DarthFerret
Sorrow's Path - Oversoul
