Do you consider drafting Phage a good thing or a liability in Type 4?

As long as I don't have like, Thicket Elemental or something I don't see too many ways to die to it.

I refuse to draft Phage unless it's absolutely necessary because every time I've had it in my deck I've lost to it ending up in my 'yard and then having someone casting Twilight's Call.  It happens without fail.

In my playtest group, we commonly refer to Phage as "Fag, the Playable" or just "Fag."  As in, oh look, its "Fag."  

Or, you got to first pick that bomb, well guess what, you get FAG as your price.  

I avoid Fag like the plague.

Killing people with Phage is fun!

I consider Phage to be a lot like the Queen of Spades in Hearts.  You can win if you have her, but it's almost always better to play it safe and pass her on.  Let her be somebody else's problem.
