As said ...

Bwah? You can't be serious. How is 5/5 flying haste for six mana too slow? Hellkite Charger at the very least is a non-legendary Rorix Bladewing with an easier mana cost. The extra text after flying and haste is just that: ...
From a purely value standpoint and from the stantpoint of what Ive been able to, or in this case not been able to sell since the set came out, the following would appear to be the worst/least demanded rares/mythics from the set:
Each of these are cards that I have sold a playset or two at most since the set was released and for each, the mythics are worth about .50, and the rares all bulk rare ...
Fun fact:
I pulled two Lorthos in a sealed deck tournament which were two packs away in the box. Wierd. I won a few games with that card.
My personal least favorite is Electropotence , as I am such a fan of Necropotence .

Thanks, I appreciate the info; however, goodness...

These in addition to most of the stuff already mentioned.
Roil Elemental...
Mythics:
Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet will never see constructed play
Lorthos, the Tidemaker - Neither will this
Eternity Vessel - great for the johnnies, only good for casual to everybody else.
Rares:
Lullmage Mentor - Why would you TAP seven merfolk to counter a spell? Why not just attack with them.
The list goes on but all ...
I've actually seen Electropotence used in decks and have done well. Spark Elementalesque creatures work well with it as well as unearth.

Too true. I remember back at the Zen Pre-...
No arguement on Kalitas not being that great (lets face it, in vamps, they could spend 7 mana far more effectively), and I now agree that pred urge may have a place, but that no one has quite nailed it down yet.
Kalitas, Bloodchief of Ghet really has no play value. I mean who's going to play him. Maybe in an ultra-casual deck, but even then, he's often going to be a dead draw. Predatory Urge can at least count as semi-removal for green.
Zendikar is still one of the better sets to buy boosters. I really hate the idea that I've cracked 4 Magosi, the watervale s now. YUCK. __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by tturner10 i over heard a guy said he would rather be here( At the morningtide prerelease) then at home having sex.

Or just make them toss their hand before you attack.
