Hence I feel irrationally fond of a large number of cards from it, so I always try to adjust my subjective opinion down a bit when talking about cards from that block to other people :)<br /><br />Amusing comparing Venomous Cobra with Horned Cheetah (a reprint of Zebra Unicorn). Now there's a card that's definitely been outclassed no matter how nostalgic I feel for it.AlexChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674122775216494431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-30220473336744008762012-05-14T19:03:40.569-04:002012-05-14T19:03:40.569-04:00Voracious Cobra has actually stood the test of tim...Voracious Cobra has actually stood the test of time quite well, considering its nearest modern equivalents are Glissa, the Traitor (a Mythic Legend), Nirkana Cutthroat (which requires a total investment of 8BBBB), and Pestilent Kathari. Invasion block has a lot of really solid designs situated at an almost ideal power level.metaghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18301191638894756414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-36878407713526034732012-05-14T13:21:48.470-04:002012-05-14T13:21:48.470-04:00Don't forget the grandfather of this pair of a...Don't forget the grandfather of this pair of abilities: Venomous Cobra. Ah, gold cards from back in the day. It looks pretty bad by modern standards, but it can still deter any big trampling stompy guy who doesn't have first strike or evasion.<br /><br />(Vampire's Bite is another black trick intended for your own guys, albeit a forgettable one. I like the disclaimerish "*nearly* the whole list" :) )AlexChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674122775216494431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-27065367243504055392012-05-11T15:16:30.196-04:002012-05-11T15:16:30.196-04:00Indeed.

Ultimately I like tricks to have some utility outside of creature combat, even if just the Lava Spike that Slaughter Cry can be. Otherwise it is just bad removal.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784920130399590671noreply@blogger.com
