New players like this cycle of crap cards? ..Ok....Sure.
How about replace this cycle with another similar cycle...but that DOESN'T COMPLETELY BLOW?
How about getting new players to like cards that won't put them at a total disadvantage?

Dear R&D,
Please stop reprinting these pieces of garbage. Thank you.
Sincerely,

These cards bug the crap out of you in Duels of the Plainswalkers.

Yeah, I really want to like these things. But they just do nothing. They should either cost 1 and give you 2 life per spell, or stay at one life, but cost 0, thus helping out with all the artifact drop type stuff, a-la darksteel relic, not indestructable, but at least it does something.
Yeah I think a zero-drop for these is fair. The only one of these I use is in an old legacy Dragon deck of mine, just for the flavor.

Okay, look. I'm normally a huge fan of what seems to be Wizards thing now of putting one laughably bad card in each set (i.e. Razor Boomerang, Defensive Stance, etc.) It adds an element of humor to the game that can be lacking when people are busy gouging at each other with overpowered giants, mind sculptors and whatnot.
But five horrible cards? Again? I don't like to complain, but in all seriousness I would rather the creepy hobo guy in the park jab me with a mysterious syringe than see these cards again.
You don't have to reprint Lightning Bolt, Wizards. You don't have to make some crazy over-the-top planeswalker that shoots zombies and Lava Axes at people. I get that not every card has to be excellent. But no more of these in M13. Please?

FACT: Everyone dislikes this card, hates seeing the cycle, and is fed up overall
FACT: Wizards reads these comments, looks at ratings, and play test their cards.
FACT: Wizards makes bad and unplayable cards on purpose to get more money.
FACT: You people still feed them money, even though you are completely aware of what is going on.
Cards like this will never stop being made, stop blowing your money on this game if you dont like it.

I'm actually glad it's uncommon. Less of a chance that I'll get one hahaha.

These are nice if you drop them early on in a game and then forget about them, but they're the bane of every decent player if you draw it anywhere past your second or third turn.

I still stand that this cycle should have been common and cost 1 instead of 2. Atleast then they could have been played early and often so that they had the possibility of stacking. At uncommon and 2, they are underwhelming in limited. In constructed, there are better options ofcourse, but if you are red or blue and woulnd't mind some lifegain, then I could see them in constructed decks if they atleast cost 1.

"The sun shone, having no alternative, on the nothing new."
This cycle of cards is all the more disappointing with every core set printing. The flavor text was pleasant enough the first time around, but even if Wizards refuses to commission new art each year, why can't they at least write a couple lines of new flavor? Lots of us take interest in that kind of stuff.
Ah well, life's too short to mind a dull reprint here and there, and lots of 2012 cards are delightful. It's just that I got a foil Angel's Feather in the pack of M12 I just opened, and I feel a bit sad that it doesn't have anything new to make it worth adding to my 'junk foils with nice art' binder.
