Annnnnndddd go, i'll start.
{Goblin Test Pilot}
I personally watched a guy kill him self all night with this card at fnm. Somehow the luck concept wasnt working for him
Drudge Beetle,the mana cost and P/T are decent but I don't want to pay 6 mana for two counters.
{Goblin Dirigible}
I pulled like 20 from a "randomized" box.
{Trait Doctoring} .. Just that horrible feeling when you crack open a pack and this is your rare.

Hey, at least Doctoring has SOME playability. These others, I often wonder why Wizards printed them; they're, like, made of suck. From the elemental plane of suck
They are made to test a players logical sensibility. The ability to differentiate between good and bad cards is what makes players great.
I think they just have to make some bad cards so that pack prices can stay affordable. If every rare was $5 every pack would be over $5..
{Emmara Tandris}. I don't think that there's a deck in existence that wants her in it.

Explain please. I don't see why everyone is hating on this card. I think it is an okay card. Not good or great, but okay.
Because shes so bad
I personally enjoy cards that are geared towards EDH play

Exactly. There's also the drafting aspect in that some cards are good in draft but not constructed, plus they have to make cards for everybody. Not every card can be {thragtusk}.
Mark Rosewater did a podcast one day and explained why they make bad cards.
Like {enter the infinite}. Unless you have, like, {omnisience}, you'll draw your deck, not really be able to play stuff, then end up discarding next turn. A Boros player could get a mill win! It's just not right.
How bout {Carnival of Souls}?
Ummm anyone {Tyrant of Discord}?
Let's just say there was a time when good cards were considered ok, and bad cards were revolutionary.
Welcome to the days of early magic the gathering.

I remember the first two packs I opened. It had {Horn of Deafening} and {Xira Arien}, and back then, I thought those were awesome cards!!!
I'll keep Jester's hate alive and say {Sorrow's Path} again.

For her mana cost, she's pretty lousy. Seven mana for a five-point critter that sort-of protects tokens. She's only usable with token decks, but hardly playable because of her mana cost. By the time you could drop her, she's no longer necessary, usually
I use her in my deck and she does great,I mean a 7-point sheild is hard to get by.
Tibalt.

Hahaha, actually with a bit of luck he can be one of the best cards ever made. Can draw you into the card you needed to win.

This card is amazing! One trigger isnt really worth it, but if you add a {conjurer's closest} or {deadeye navigator} to the mix he is amazing. At worst he destroys a land and at best he destroys their whole board.

Broken powerful card. {Soul warden} offsets the life loss and it makes cards like that new {relentless rats} that costs one and sacs for a demon absolutely amazing. Paying life for mana has been broken since the dawn of magic: {channel} {fireball}.
As for all the {tibalt, the fiend blooded}, {R}{W}{B} reanimater can do gross things with him.
{Goblin test pilot} is the worst card ever IMO. It was made because someone fell asleep at an R&D meeting and was asked to make an izzet card on the spot. Im not sure if that is worse than them posting an article telling us about how it was made.
The thing about {Goblin Test Pilot} is it was made to be a fun card. I like their intentions, and it is terrible, but it's fun. :)
Still have no idea why it is an uncommon though.
