When you play Phantasmagorian, if any player can say it 3 times fast, counter Phantasmagorian

Yeah, for the longest time, I didn't think that you could do manaless dredge in Legacy. I was wrong. Very very wrong. So is this card.

I love how so few people understand how good this card is in certain situations. Yes, if for some reason you are playing this in some regular deck and are hardcasting it, it's awful. Even in regular dredge decks, it's usually outclassed by cards like Putrid Imp and Tireless Tribe as a discard engine. However, this is a key card in manaless dredge decks as a discard engine. People have used 4 copies of this card in decks that have won major legacy tournaments. However, I'm kinda glad this card is so misunderstood, as it keeps the price extremely low.

The way I see it, cards should be rated based on the situations in which they are actually useful. Phantasmagorian is horrible in most decks, but in its one niche, it is a wonderful card that powers an extremely potent deck. And it has a cool name too.

4.5/5

Basically what --Nate-- said.

The fact that there are so many comments about how bad this card is tells us more about the Gatherer userbase than the card. Phantasmagorian is just a card people misunderstand. A poor misunderstood card with an awesome name. That has won tournaments as a key cog in an almost annoyingly effective deck.

In a Shamalan-esque twist, if you think this card is bad, it is in actuality you who is bad.

Not that playable, but interesting play of words.
But how can a Phantasmagorian not be an Illusion?...
