Cards That Shouldn't Be:
By: Fetar
There are many great cards out there, and ones that are even better. Then there are the ones that just plain suck. But everyonce in a while you come across a card that doesnt fit in the patterns and logic of magic - cards that just shouldn't have been printed.

This is a list of cards that personally, I believe should not have been printed. For example, Naturalize ; its an enchantment/artifact destroyer for green. But wait a minute, hasn't white always had the Disenchants? And how about Skirk Prospector? Hasn't green been the mana producing color since the beginning? Or are we making the game all over again...? And wasn't the last time I heard sacrifing a creature for mana was a black thrull, like Basal Thrull? Sure, there was the old Orcish Lumberjack back in ice age, and thats just as bad or worse.

Things like Illusionary Terrain and Wash Out can horribly ruin any deck and are just plain too cheap. Even with the upkeep on Illusionary Terrain, you can still cripple a one-color deck for as long as you have mana - minimum two turns, and a lot more if you have the mana for it.
