Underrated Theros Limited Cards
Limited forum
Posted on Dec. 2, 2013, 9:49 p.m. by OpenFire
So I was looking for any cards that are considered unplayable or bad in standard but are decent in draft formats and I wanted to make a cohesive list. This is intended to help out new players who want a guide on draft formats. I'll start with Rage of Purphoros and Nessian Asp .
Divine Verdict and Sea God's Revenge . Nimbus Naiad ? No clue if it sees play.

Divine Verdict definitely underrated. Nimbus Naiad is actually ridiculously good. If Ben Stark first-picked one at Worlds this year.

I hate Divine Verdict . Made me lose my Polukranos, World Eater in one draft.

Divine Verdict is incredibly mediocre in limited. If your opponent is smart they just play around it and develop their board while you continuously leave up four mana.

Keepsake Gorgon is nasty in drafts. Insatiable Harpy as well.

You guys have all said cards that are NOT underrated in limited and are still bad in constructed.

I was under the impression we were posting cards that are bad in constructed but powerful in sealed.

Jp3ngu1nb0y got it right. Sorry for not being more clear. The cards should be bad in constructed but still good in draft formats.

Calvary Pegasus and humans. Combo has one me theros drafts, and cards like Traveling Philosopher generally get taken last, but a 2 mana 2/2 flyer sits well with me, mono white humans have always been powerful

Benthic Giant is a very good card in Theros limited. There are almost no ways to get rid of it in the set.

A guy from Channel Fireball does a decent job of listing the best and worst cards to draft with, separates it in tiers 1-5, with 5 being just barely playable.

Griptide , Vulpine Goliath , Ill-Tempered Cyclops , and I don't think I've seen any of the Ordeals in a decklist before.
