Title: Worse card ever?
Post by: Wingnut on August 19, 2013, 09:05:25 AM
Are there any actual combos available for  {Leveler}? I'm just trying to figure out a logical use for this thing. (Yes, it's a 10/10, but no haste and you 100% mill yourself).

Well, it's only the library, so if you have a {Fervor} out and a {Silverblade Paladin} to bond him with,then you have a 10/10 Haste,Double Strike.

Ok, that would work, actually kind of a crazy combo I might want to try. I was looking at the card trying to come up with a logical reason to use it. It would HAVE to be some some kind of win scenario because once this hits the clock is ticking pretty hard.

Or play  {Stifle} for a 10/10 for {5} {U} which is pretty awesome

You could use any draw/discard mechanic to get him in your graveyard then scavenge with {varolz - the scar striped}. +10/10 for 5. Not bad but it's forcing it

Wouldn't {deaths shadow} be a better scavenge target?

Was just thinking of things for this post. That card is the best scavenge ever though

What happened if you scavenged it onto a double striker and gave it trample?

 {Leveler} + {Laboratory Maniac} or {Colfenor's Plans} or {Fasting} or {Fatigue} or {Island Sanctuary} etc.

No I play a {glissa, the traitor} reanimater combo deck, but I love to use that torpor orb very much. Hurts me a little, hurts everyone else a lot

That would also go well with  {Torpor Orb}.

That is the card I was talking about.. Could not remember the mana amount. And neg for the cussing.. Not nes

Worst card? Are you guys kidding a 2/2 for 3 Colourless? Uhh kinda overpowered especially when it can be ANY colour of mana to put it face down!! New Storm Crow?

But in all seriousness. Ew lol but I've heard of people bluffing with it which would make it a very fun casual card lol

I realize this is not actually the "WORST" card, I just didn't see a way of making it work, but as discussed there are applications, it's just a bit tough to set it up without hurting yourself. The topic headline was admittedly just a lead into the question of how would you make this card work.
