Random Card Top 3, #2

Hi there, and here is another random card rating! I have decided that after every 5 blogs of these, I will do a top 5 of the winners from each blog, to make things a little interesting. Today we have three new cards competing to become number one! The cards are Goblin Legionnaire, Ambassador Laquatus, and Blackmail. Let's go!

#3 Goblin Legionnaire- Now, by no means it this a bad card, it is just not as good as the other two. The good things about him are that he is 2 mana for a 2/2 which is always good, and he has 2 abilities that can become useful in situations. The reason he isn't good is because dealing 2 damage or preventing 2 damage at the cost of a creature isn't all that great.

#2 Ambassador Laquatus- Laquatus makes his way as the first Legendary creature into the rating, but unfortunately he is not a good one! Laquatus is a weak 1/3 for 3 mana, which isn't completely terrible, but there are better creatures. As a blue legend, his ability is none other than milling. 3 mana to mill 3 cards isn't all that great, since you will be out of mana shortly, but the good thing about him is you can use his ability multiple times each turn. If you somehow got an infinite mana combo out, then Laquatus will have won you a game.

#1 Blackmail- This is a very good card. The only bad thing about it is you can't look at your opponent's complete hand. But that is about it. The very good things about it is you get to choose what is discarded and you can discard anything, including land! Not many black discarding spells can get rid of land, which could be crucial to getting the upper hand on your opponent.

Well this one was even tougher than the last one, with 3 very nice cards out this time, Blackmail moves on to the winner's round. Like always, you can buy all of these cards for a low price at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
