After plenty of time to aquire and play with betrayers in Type 4, what do people think are the fun cards to play with? Here are mine.


Cards I thought would be good and were good:

Final Judgment - although I've been trying to cut down on the number of wraths in my stack, having taken out the crappier ones like Savage Twister, Final Judgment is quality because it deals with everything except Mist Dragon and Tatsumasa.

Minamo's Meddling and Disrupting Shoal - I like a lot of counterspells in my stack, and these are as good as any.

Ink-Eyes - The ninjitsu is amazing when attacking with utility creatures like mystic snake or willbender.

Shining Shoal - this turns many cards like Bloodfire Colossus into a liability.

Sickening shoal - Mediocre creature kill but it's in a cycle, and as everyone knows, cycles are good.


Cards which were better than expected:

Sway of the stars - I like funny symettrical effects in T4 like Grip of Chaos and Yet Another AEther Vortex. This is cool too. It's especially good for dealing with a person who gained a lot of life in a stack without firebreathers, and in my case replaces Blessed Wind.

Enshrined Memories - Just what do you set X at?

Overblaze - Can be useless, but can be hilarious with Bosh or Heartless Hidetsugo


Cards which were worse than expected:

That which was taken - OK, indestructibility is good, but TWWT itself is vulnerable and a huge target. It's good in combination with the white Bringer though, and still in my stack.

Pus Kami - The soulshift has never come up. Otherwise it's sorcery-speed removal on a par with pain kami and skinthinner, both of which I removed from my stack.

Heed the mists - Netting you a lot of cards on your own turn is less good if you have to discard down to seven without opportunity to use any of them. There's also the chance of it hitting something crap like 8.5 tails or Gleemax.

Body of Jukai - I overestimated the usefulness of the soulshift

Jetting glasskite - Not big enough and still vulnerable.

Heartless Hidetsugo - There aren't enough circumstances where this lives to become active AND you want to activate him.

I wrote this shortly after Betrayers came out, and I think it still holds.

So I suppose I should take The Fringe back out of my sig now...
