The most unused Magic card?

[DarthFerret]

Ok, a different thread got me thinkin about this, and I wanted to get y'alls opinion. I am actually gonna divide this up into each set.

So, what is the most unused card in Alpha/Beta/Unlimited?

 

[Limited]

Do you mean 'underrated' or really just bottom-of-the-barrell why-did-they-even-print-this what-a-wasteof-cardboard kinda card?

 

[Spiderman]

I'm taking it to mean "the card least used in ANY deck"

 

[Limited]

Sunglasses of Urza?
Burrowing?
Lifelace?

 

[Spiderman]

Nah, I've used Sunglasses so it can't be the least used.

I'll check the card lists, but Burrowing sounds like a good candidate

 

[Limited]

What did you use the Sunglasses for (other than playing in the sun)?

I think the other Laces and the Wards also come close to being the worst, but Burrowing kinda stands out.

 

[Ransac]

EH...... me and my friends (while being scrubs) would always have one of each ward on our decks with white. They saw some play amongst the non-tourney players.

Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Mooseman]

I nominate ........ ISLAND

 

[Spiderman]

I used the Sunglasses in a R/W deck at the time...

 

[Ransac]

I, too, had a deck were Sunglasses of Urza fit prominently into my scheme.

[DarthFerret]

I actually used all the wards except for white on my Bodyguard! It was great! (until someone else used a white ward on him...arghh...)..

I had thought about nominating Dwarven Pony myself, but did not want to incur Ransac's wrath

I am actually looking for the one card you would NEVER put into any deck whatsoever...

 

[Mooseman]

Burrowing
Contract from Below
Darkpact

 

[Spiderman]

I've played with the ante cards, back when I first started and played for ante. Fun times...

Along with Jeweled Bird...

 

[Ransac]

Contract from Below was AWESOME!


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[TomB]

I too, used the Sunglasses of Urza back in the day in my overcosted R/W Shivan Dragon/Serra Angel deck...You didn't say it had to be a GOOD deck, did you?

Here's a few more candidates:
Camouflage
Cyclopean Tomb
Dwarven Demolition Team
Glasses of Urza
Guardian Angel
Helm of Chatzuk
Natural Selection

Not to mention all the Laces and Charms...

 

[Spiderman]

I've used Glasses, Guardian Angel, and Helm at various times too... back when the card pool was so limited I think I might have tried Cyclopean Tomb in my Karma deck.

Hate to say despite being a proponent for Dwarves, never really used the Demolition Team.

 

[DarthFerret]

heh....And out of the unlimited set, I think, honestly, I probably never used a pearled unicorn. Not sure why not, but a 2/2 for 3 did not seem advantageous...

 

[Killer Joe]

Wow, by SET!? I can't really input into this until you get to at least Mirage.

But I have used Pearl Unicorn; it's in my "commons" draft box.

 

[Spiderman]

I used it when I just had a Starter... but yeah, nowadays, of course there's better cards...

 

[DarthFerret]

Maybe I should turn this into a set by set analysis (like our CCHOF). What do you guys think, should we do a thread to debate the worst cards of each set, and if so what do we call it?
