Name "Nausea" wasn't Evil enough ?

looks useful in limited to kill off eldrazi token spawns all at once.
Otherwise infest is probably better.

To answer those arguing about Shrivel over Nausea... Maybe it was to add to the feel of the set and give a counterbalance to Magnify.

Great against Conqueror's Pledge.
I hate you, masterofEtherium. Why do you post these things? Whenever I see a nasty comment, I look at the user and... it's always you. I've never seen one that's not you.

@DoctorKenneth
I use to wholeheartedly agree with you. Functional reprints purely for flavor seemed a bit excessive and borderline greedy (as you had to buy the new ones if you wanted to compete in T2) but then I started to play EDH. The Singleton formats love functional reprints (as long as it was a good card to start with) as you now can get past the restriction of only one per deck. Yeah, the fact we have 7 Grizzly Bears and 5 Gray Ogres is a bit ridiculous as not many players even look at those cards, much less play them. But I wouldn't mind playing a pair of these in a Mono-
EDH if my play group was token heavy.

another reason for not making a reprint of a old card is so you can have more then 4 per deck, I see no problem with it

And Nausea was a bad name because...? Functional reprints lately are just striking me as odd. I mean, yes, yes, artifact creatures and the like can't flavourfully get sick, but note my comments on Essence Scatter. There will always be flavour offenders. Get over it, you can't fix them all. This set alone has a chariot that Walls can ride around in. No one cares that you can pull off absurdities like this. No one needs to explain why a kid in a frog suit (Glider Barin) makes the mighty Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, so immensely happy (though maybe there's something he's not telling us). Please, Wizards. You don't need to "fix" any more cards. If you want a reprint, just reprint it.

I'm just posting here to express my love for DoctorKenneth's comment here. I salute you, sir, you truly are a gentleman and a scholar.

@Guntz I'm pretty sure Wizards makes more money for themselves by making cohesive flavourful sets than it would by making functional reprints of 5 cent cards for no reason. Personally I prefer the image of Eldrazi "shriveling" populations to them killing everyone with a nasty bout of food poisoning. =p
