This was my first rare, and it actually saved my ass in a few games. I had two out and just kept plucking out the best cards from my friend's mono white deck until I decked him when he had 130 life. Hilarious!

Merfolk Sovereign and this guy are a good team. You can get rid of their win condition or disrupt a combo before it has a chance to hit the board.

Not the best body for an aggro deck, and it could almost inherently have flying. But it's not a bad effect and cosi's trickster will love it.

haha ya dude, I used to think there were idiot kids purposefully censoring their own words with C U M or A S S in it to be funny (and I thought they were lame-o's) but when I typed a comment for a card with CU M or A SS I cant remember, it censored it. That's when I thought, oh man that is really bad they need to fix that haha. By the way T W A T is one I haven't seen censored yet haha

@Kirbster
Mike Long was both an extremely talented player (got close to hall of fame status) and a cheater. Ironically, he was so good that he didn't really need to cheat.
Make no mistake, he was caught cheating; this is undisputed. But he did a TON for magic. He increased early popularity of big events, he created the first tournament caliber combo deck (pros-bloom), could bluff his way to victory against top players, and he won an invitational event (and thus the honor of creating this card).
Also, since Mark Rosewater wanted there to be a "bad guy" to make events more interesting, he played it up about him. Thus tons of people hated him enough to make him a popular player to watch. In one event, he got to the semi final and lost. Fewer people watched the final because they had no one to cheer against.
He is a polarizing figure.
Note that well after he quit playing, he was up to be voted on for the Hall of Fame, and he was asked to say a few words about it. If not for... (see all)
