Title: I hate Vexing Devil (already)
Post by: SpiritedAway on April 11, 2012, 04:41:14 PM
I'm pretty upset about this card as a control/spirit/UW player. Can somebody hold me and tell me everything will be alright?

Is {Mental Misstep} even worth it? Paying 2 life and a card instead of just 4 life.

Should I just take the four and move on with my life?

WHAT DO I DO?? Help me.

Early game I take the 4

Against RDW taking 4 damage could be bad early or late game. It looks like RDW can make a push for best deck in the meta. With {thunderous wrath} as well.

Unless you go first mental misstep is a bad choice, countering it is prolly the best way to deal with it besides maybe first strike no matter what.. 4 damage is so high though..
At least it doesnt have haste

Yep.
It enters the field as a copy, so it triggers its own ETB ability.

This card is perfect for a burn deck :). But too bad I don't have 40 dollars for a set :(

Yes. It enters the field and, if they take the damage, it dies. Works great with things like {Warstorm Surge} and similar.

1 card doesn't make RDW awesome again. This shouldn't even be a question, early game it's really good...both decisions suck, but late game u let the creature get cast. Bounce it back, counter, removal...let's not get crazy folks. If it had haste then that'd be fuuuuuu bliz

Probably one of the oldest deck archetypes.  There are examples in Standard and Casual.

They mean that RDW tries to win as early as possible and the odds of winning tend to decline the later the game goes.
