Niko9 on favorite pet card(s)

Hi, and welcome to the community here! Pet cards are always so fun, and it's been a pretty great experience to play over the years and have my pet cards list evolve : )
One of my favorite things in magic is spot removal, and unconventional choices of it. Having to save my resources and make decisions on what to remove really makes the game feel like an expanding puzzle to me.
Some of my favorite pet removal cards are
Savage Swipe I have an entire deck built around casting this as much as possible and double dipping as removal and buff.
Tragic Slip A somewhat situational card, but it takes out everything. I love flavor wise that Blightsteel Colossus can just slip and fall and head right to the graveyard.
Cast Out I've played this card a lot and it's versatility makes it one of those "this is exactly what I needed" draws late game. And it can always just be cycled in the early game if I have another plan going.
Fumiko the Lowblood Can be a brutal removal creature in an aggro deck, taking out their creatures and making them tap all blockers.
Dire Fleet Poisoner I just love the original Ixalan pirates, and flash deathtouch always hits something good.
Mutiny in commander I find that this card always pays off. It's very situational, but the situation of your opponent having two creatures almost always comes up. In my experience, it almost always does more damage than a Lightning Bolt and in EDH I wouldn't really be bolting players anyways.
Lava Dart the cost of saccing a land sounds so steep, but I've won quite a few games now just destroying my own land base at the very end. And I like that because of the recursion, I'm free to cast it early game from hand to hit small threats.

Yes, but if you're going for a burn deck, you will want as many burn spells as possible. Vexing Devil does this. And, it is just as useful as Monastery Swiftspear in that if they can remove a Vexing Devil, then they can remove a Monastery Swiftspear. 1 mana for 4 damage is the best burn card available. Also, the Monastery Swiftspear will at most deal 3 damage on turn 2 if you cast it on turn 1. Yes, it gets better as it goes on, but regardless you're going to have to keep her on the field. This is why I find Satyr Firedancer a fidgety card. It has to stay on the field, but it's a 1/1.
And yes! Mutiny is a rarely used card, but it's pretty good on its own. I also love Deflecting Palm as my very favorite card. No one expects it, and it really ruins some people's plans.

Perhaps you would like something like Mutiny?? I love that card! Helps a lot with creature heavy decks.

Oh, and it may seem a little weird but I really love targeted removal in EDH. One of my favorite things in a game is to look around the table, assess threats, and have lots of flexible answers. Cards like
Actually, yep, Tragic Slip is definitely my pet removal spell : ) It's always the best card in my hand, it just depends on when it gets used.
I guess part of it is that when I used to play board sweepers it always felt so uninteractive. So many games became, somebody doing a combo, does anyone have Cyclonic Rift? And that's so chance dependent that it feels unfun, to me at least. I like target removal because they always have a target, so I can play enough of them to always have some answer, and then it's on me if I don't save it for the correct threat.

Hey 9-lives, thanks for your reply.
I can see why copying would not fit the aikido description. That’s an interesting detail. If you woud tell the folks that maintain this site, they might change that.
Apart from those semantic details, we seem to agree that Aikido, like the martial art, is about turning the strength of your opponents against them. My view on this deck regarding that hasn’t changed: This deck is not about turning the strength of my opponents against them.
It may run some cards that could be used for that purpose, but that doesn’t automatically mean it’s the strategy of this specific deck. Proposing that my deck is Aikido because it runs cards that are also used in Aikido decks is a deductive fallacy: all birds are animals but not all animals are birds. This deck is a different animal.
The intent of this deck is to first attack with equipped creatures to then dig for damage-based combo’s that all start with self-inflicted damage. It’s an equipment aggro deck that turns into a (self-inflicted-damage-redirection) combo deck in the late game. Nowhere in that game plan is it about making use of the strength of my opponents. It is a “stop-hitting-yourself” deck. Not an Aikido one.
Then, for your card suggestions: I like Justice Strike but as explained in the deck description, there isn’t a lot of room for instants and sorceries in this list. If I wanted another card that can trigger my combos, I would rather go for something like Sword of Fire and Ice. Mutiny I like less, because there is no synergy with my combos.

Perhaps add Justice Strike considering that you're using Guilty Conscience? Also, Mutiny might fit in? And, Aikido is very much known for using Boros Reckoner.
I would rather use the term "Tactical Redirection", as that is a generally equivalent term, and definitely covers what you are doing. IF you understand what the term aikido means, it is simply using the opponent against themselves, such as them damaging you to damage themselves, damaging creatures to damage their own creatures, and on and on. So, it covers a large base of cards. The idea that aikido is to copy is completely wrong, in the definition of aikido. In the way people used to make aikido decks, and used the term wrongly, they made creature copy/mirror cards. This is not aikido, this is simply mirroring. Only if you can control a creature and then use it to damage an oppoenent's other creatures or life total would it be aikido. Deflecting Palm is the essence of Aikido.
When you play a chess game, if you mirror your opponent, you're bound to lose. Hardly anyone has won a tournament with this type of deck. If you use aikido, and place a defensive formation, and then they lose a piece from attacking one of your pieces, and they lose a more valuable piece while you either don't lose your less valuable piece or you do. I know that each attack in chess is always losing a piece, but regardless I tried to explain it.

Has anyone played with the card Mutiny? How useful is it? Is it a overall good card? I haven't seen it in any decks, but I'm fairly new to MTG.

One card I've liked for a long time, and have never seen a deck use it: Mutiny! Should I put it in here? Would it be useful?
