The last Friday Nights gave me some interesting ideas.  What are the worst cards out there?  for example, {darksteel relic} {warp world}, the counter target sorcery, murder at sorcery speed, etc.

Note!  I want each card to have a possible use in this cube.  For example, I have 1 thing with flashback, and 2 things that exile cards from the graveyard, so that exile card could get put in the deck and do something.  I still want it to be the worst cube in the world though.

I want to build that cube.

Here is the list
{darksteel relic} {warp world} {sorrows path} {spark jolt} {shock} {wood elemental} {fires of undeath} {shelkin brownie} {chimney imp} {tomb fire} {coffin purge} {desert nomads} {Tombfire} {Break Open} {Fatal Mutation} {Rapid Fire} {Warping Wurm} {Nameless Race} {Shaman's Trance} {Nameless Race} {Power Leak} {Leeches} {Mudhole} {Hint of Insanity} {North Star} {Erosion} {Deep Water} {Adventurers' Guildhouse} {Masticore} {Pale Moon} {carnival of souls} {braid of fire} and last, but not least, {storm crow}

Strictly worse is a comparative thing. Like how {Lightning Bolt} is strictly better the {Shock}. So you'd include shock because it would be strictly worse then an existing spell.

If you're going for just painfully bad cards, {Wood Elemental} is a favorite of mine.

 {Fires of Undeath} is the running joke in our playgroup.

I'd be tempted to buy it and see if it's laced with gold or cocaine or something haha.

Thats hilarious. One half of my lgs (one half sells magic, the other sells yugioh etc, but the guy who runs it also plays magic/sells magic cards out of his binders) has Snapcasters for $500

I've actually seen someone play a wood elemental. Guy used it as a weird ramping tool in edh:
17 lands in play, tap 6 prime time, tap 4 sac all lands (tap mana floating), akromas's memorial, {{Faith's Reward}}, fetch Kessig wolf run, dead.

Damn that's unreal!
