How bad do you have to be to play this guy. He mills the lands of the top of your deck and is a free value engine. I imagine the people who use him are the living Wojak meme.

[Hannah Barbara]

Herpa dur! Me am good because me am play free value engine and mill. Ha ha.

Ah, choosing to use good cards doesn't make you a bad player, it makes you a lazy player? That makes a lot more sense...

[Hannah Barbara]

It's a lazy card. Can you say Mythweaver Pog is a high skill card? No.
He just sits there spamming lands. You can't remove him because he just spams lands.

If you got Blue, Counter spells or Shuffle Grave into Library Spells.
If you got Black, Run Graveyard Resurrects.
Anything with Escape can be useful in the grave.

there's cards that gives You Hexproof. Standard has Metropolis Reformer, Enduring Angel / Angelic Enforcer & Historic/Brawl has Leyline of Sanctity, Keen-Eared Sentry, Teyo the Shieldmage, Shalai Voice of Plenty, Sigarda Heron’s Grace, etc.

there's cards that are anti-mill. Historic/Brawl has Jace Wielder of Mysteries, Thassa's Oracle (Banned in Historic), etc.

there's cards that bring creature back from the graveyard or punish for putting a card there. Standard has Kroxa and Kunoros & Brawl/Historic has Syr Konrad the Grim, Zenith Flare, etc.

These are just cards I could remember that I think are in arena without spending hours looking it up.

Edit: forgot to mention most colours also got Destroy/Exile/Burn spells so you can just kill it before its first upkeep

[Hannah Barbara]

Oh and he mills the removal off the top of your deck too. Thank you for reminding me.

[Ripshot Blue]

if you let him setup with a 3mana & got no response by the time it takes to do anything useful considering it only trigger on his upkeep which gives you an entire turn, that is 100% an issue with your deck.

Seriously, is your argument really "it's a good card so only a bad player would use it"?

Sounds like more of a fetish than a love.

[ChaffyExpert]

Literally never saw this card, but it doesn't sound like an OP card, Like, not even a card that's like "well it can be removed but it's effect if it stays out is strong." like, milling a some cards off the top of the deck is kinda lame.

[Ripshot Blue]

I just played against it in brawl with my Tomb Bombadil deck. Even as a slow 5 colour deck I countered before upkeep.

The ironic part is by stealing him I made him trigger himself as a mercenary

[mwesthoff]

The card is worth 2 bucks, but 20 years ago would have been worth like $12.99 and meta bound.

[BEEN]

In limited and standard I’ve only seen him get to use his ability twice. He’s usually dead right after he enters the battlefield.

hmmm, that could be said for may be one or 300 odd other cards in rotation.
and i imagine this is the cry of nerf coming from players running a 200 card deck with like 20 lands lol.

as for the first line, we have been on both sides of that fence lol

[CJ desu]

I don't know what you want from us? Validation that he is indeed the most broken card in standard? He isn't even the best card in the set lmao.

The emotional damage from having your cards stolen is fair, but this isn't the first card that does this by any stretch.

Or the strongest or hardest to get rid of, by far.

[the.sightless.jayfeather]

He can steal cards but what's the problem really? He's an inconsistent value engine. Theft isn't that easy to build around, at least not if you want consistency anyway.

Is it being a value engine? Because he really isn't that good of one. Simic does it 10x better. Hell, I'm pretty sure there are Rakdos value engines better than him by a mile! Only real interesting synergy I see is with the new Tinybones. Kinda funny theft but not great
