Best I would say Path to Exile with Force of Will on par with it. Worst would be Omniscence or Myojin of Infinite Rage.

That is one vote for path then. You can vote for as many bad cards as you want, but you only get one vote for "best".

I say it's still force of will and omniscience. No matter how far this game goes, counters are still as annoying as all hell, and omniscience remains the most useless card ever. Even the myojin could technically do something without a really extensive combo if you ever manage to cast it.

I get the feeling were just gonna be hearing 'Path to Exile/Force of Will and Omniscience' a lot here. If I can make a suggestion why not make it best and worst card for each deck? A little more work yes but could lead to some fun discussion.

Sure

Done

Lexx and Drac added.

Lexx you only voted for 10 decks. In a new post, so that I don't have to do a lot of thinking, would you be willing to vote for the others?

Also garren I waited for you, but for the love of everything, remove the spoilers. That triples my amount of work man.......

Fair enough but the post is gonna be huge. Just a warning.

Edit: Ah forget it not going to bother with justifications. I'll defend my choices if anyone asks about them.

Edit Edit: Okay Done! Add 'em to the slate.

Best:
Mind Maze: Force of Will
Deadwalkers: Corrupt
Lords of Darkness: Rune-Scarred Demon
Hunter's Strength: Predator Ooze
Chant of the Mul Daya: Tooth and Nail
Sylvan Might: Immaculate Magistrate
Firewave: Inferno Titan
Guardians of Light: Kor Spiritdancer
Bounce and Boon: Cathars' Crusade

Unfinished Business: Accumulated Knowledge
Masks of the Dimir: Spinal Embrace
Dodge and Burn: Remand
Sword of the Samurai: Umezawa's Jitte
Enter the Dracomancer: Maelstrom Pulse
Hall of Champions: Sublime Archangel
Sliver Hive: Mirror Entity

All of these are game winners, either singlehandedly or pretty close.

Worst:
Mind Maze: Omniscience
Deadwalkers: Soul Bleed
Lords of Darkness: Lord of the Pit
Hunter's Strength: Wurmskin Forger
Chant of the Mul Daya: Rites of Flourishing - At least Exploration doesn't kill you.
Sylvan Might: Mythic Proportions? Having trouble deciding this one.
Firewave: Stalking Vengeance - I want to like it but it belongs in gimmick decks only. Far too expensive.
Guardians of Light: Divine Transformation. So many better auras.
Bounce and Boon: Ancestor's Chosen
Avacyn's Glory: Angel's Mercy - What's better less unplayable, 2 overcosted blockers or 7 life?
Unfinished Business: Tough one. Gonna have to settle on Cerulean Sphinx.
Masks of the Dimir: Vengeful Vampire
Dodge and Burn: Spirit Away
Sword of the Samurai: Avatar of Slaughter - Seriously? People are saying the Myojin is less playable than suicide on a stick?
Enter the Dracomancer: Torrent of Fire. Artifact Mutation would be pretty good if there were more artifacts around. If.
Hall of Champions: Battleflight Eagle - It took until this thread for me to remember this was even in the deck. That's how awful it is.
Sliver Hive: Coat of Arms

Well, I'd love a justification for reanimate as the worst card in UB. It's an amazing card and is vital to the all-in build.

I'll try to give my own list when I get back from work.

Garren, do you truly believe that exploration is worse than into the wilds and rites of flourishing?

Updated

@sic, I personally think warclub is the worst card in the deck. It's a 3 cmc 5 equip cost +2/+1. That may move around, whether or not you want it to. I didn't want to go the route of really expensive creature that would be devastating if you ever got it out (but you never will ), but people pick myojin just because it's 10 mana and the deck can't really get to that reliably.

Sacade I have to go, so I have to add you later. Sorry. Interesting choices though.


So far it seems like jitte, spiritdancer, and crusade are just going to sit on top of their respective decks for a while.

I get it, everyone tried Oni and it was disappointing due to lack of evasion. Is it really worst in the deck than Cerulean Sphinx though? Or Fool's Demise?

I only had 10 minutes, so I couldn't update everything, but I put in a Best column, and I'll add a worst column later. I added everyone's votes.

I play less than half of this decks so take my choice with a grain of salt. Oni doesn't look good to me but I don't know Unfinished Business enough to be sure
Maybe Cerulean Sphinx is worst but I like flying creatures
