Ahem. To all of you people saying "this card is situation/circumstantial/makes you think," I say, go be hipsters somewhere else, the rest of use will use putrid imp, thank you.

The problem really isn't that One With Nothing is useless, or bad, or even rare. The trouble is that is has an extremely niche purpose, which another card already fulfills better than it. There is really almost no reason to play this over Putrid Imp. Only if you need to eliminate your entire hand instantly and have no setup time, or your opponent keeps countering your Imps.

Hey, do you know which two cards can do the exact same thing as this junk AND more, for the same CMC? Sacred Rite and Rites of Initiation*! And they are scalable, let you pump your creatures, and were printed at common in a set where pitching your hand made sense, and not at rare in a set that encouraged you to be holding as many cards as possible! Face it, One With Nothing isn't genius: It's bilge, in terms of playability, design AND timing!
*And BOTH are rated lower than this junk anyways!

I wouldnt play this card, but there was lot of times when I needed to get rid of my hand(ichorid deck). It has unique ability, thats what makes it rare.

Useful for certain decks, and in certain cercumstances. Restricted enough in its usefulness that the rare slot is the only place it could go.

its has more uses then chimney imp, mudhole, great wall or alabaster leech, but it still..
i think savoirs did have to much rares and to few commons, so they just made all rares common and all commons rare...

Beautiful card. Challenges you to think, unlike most of the rares from M10 on, many of which seem to be based on the principle that a rare should be something that can pull off a very basic, common effect, but at an insanely broken mana cost, i.e. "a common, but better", and to hell with the fact that it'll send prices skyrocketing. See Baneslayer, most of the M10 mythics, Zendikar, etc.
