Caerwyn on The Worst Deck Ever Made

6 years ago

There are a bunch of cards that focus on hosing a certain mechanic. Kamigawa block was pretty bad for this, with a number of cards that only interact with spirits (Hisoka's Defiance, Kitsune Diviner, Nine-Ringed Bo, Rend Spirit). Other sets have situation counters to set-specific mechanics, and might be worth including.

Wood Elemental is one of the worst creatures ever printed. There are also a number of common Legendary creatures from one of the really old sets--they are vanilla creatures, with absurdly high casting costs, and mediocre stats.

Granted, the above cards are not just legendarily bad, but neigh unplayable.

I think your deck could be made even worse with Karona-based synergies. There are a number of cards which grant your opponents creatures of a certain tribe. You could cast a card like Dovescape, and give your opponent's the ability to spawn large numbers of flying 1/1s, which Karona could boost to 4/4s.

As an aside, I find Karona one of the more fascinating cards ever printed, and have a commander deck built around her. That said, she really is a terrible, terrible card, that requires way too much effort to make worthwhile. Truly the perfect pick for this deck's commander.
