Cards That Shouldn't Be: By: Fetar
One kind of card that I absolutely hate being used against me but love using against others are hosers. Hosers are cards that are usually entirely non-universal in anyway sort or form that will completely mess over your opponent by chance of color, or in many cases, a one-card-one.

I happen to have a lot of 'hosers' and the purpose of this article is to show a large number of them. Colors seem to be against eachother alot than others, like black hates white and white hates black, blue and red are rivals and green despises blue and black. Reminds me somewhat of the pentagon of colors that you see on the backs of cards (the colors adjacent to a color are its 'allied' colors, and the rest, or the ones directly across from the color, are its 'enemy' colors).

This is a basic table of a lot of assorted hosers. Of course, there is hundreds, this is but a mere list. There are also things like Circle Of Protections for white againts all colors, and Spheres of all colors for white, like Sphere of Reason and Circle of Protection: Blue.
