Random Card Top 3, #1

So I'm going to start rating random cards that pop up from MTG Gatherer's random button. Thank you to my friend for the idea! For now, the three cards that will be reviewed are Blinkmoth Urn, Cloud Elemental, and Quash.

#3: Cloud Elemental- It is pretty obvious why this guy is the lowest rated out of the three cards. Three mana for a 2/3 is not really a bargain, so that is already one negative with this guy. But even worse, he can't block creatures with flying, which defeats the purpose of most weak flyers, chump blocking.

#2: Quash- This was a tough race between Blinkmoth Urn and Quash, because they are both very solid cards. Quash is a normal blue counterspell, but can only counter instants and sorceries, which is the reason this is not our #1 card today. But, Quash does make up for it by doubling as a Surgical Extraction, which can mess up a lot of decks.

#1: Blinkmoth Urn- This is a really good mana accelerator in colorless decks. Obviously, if you are running this artifact, you have an artifact heavy deck, meaning you'll most likely have a lot of artifacts out. Well in a deck that relies on only colorless mana, you can start off each turn with an insane mana pool, which could indeed help you bring out some of the big artifact guys to help you win the game.

Although it was a tough choice, Blinkmoth is our number one card for now. You can buy all these cards at a low price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
