Alright, back with another random card rating! For the third edition, we have a much easier decision between three cards, compared to the last two editions. The newest cards are going to be Beast of Burden, Red Elemental Blast, and Kjeldoran Home Guard. Here we go.
#3 Kjeldoran Home Guard- The obvious choice for the non-winner today was this guy. He is 4 mana for a 1/6, which you know, isn't bad, but he can't attack or block without hurting himself. He gets a -0/-1 counter for each time he attacks or blocks, so within potentially three turns, he is dead! I mean, I guess the plus side is getting a bunch of 0/1 Deserter tokens to use as chump blockers is alright, but nothing special what so ever.
#2 Beast of Burden- This guy really isn't that great especially for 6 mana. At worst, he is a chump blockable 1/1, meaning he will die unless a Plant is blocking you. At best, he can go all the way up to Infinity/Infinity, and still be blocked by a Plant. Anyway, he can get pretty big, but he is one Doom Blade or Wrath of God away from being a waste of 6 mana. If you want a better version of him in your deck, get a Darksteel Juggernaut.
#1 Red Elemental Blast- The obvious winner here today, Red Elemental Blast, or REB for short, is just terrific. It is one mana for a RED, yes, a RED counterspell. I bet the people using Caw Blade decks out there wouldn't expect this coming at them. At best you can counter any blue spell with a non-blue deck, and at worst you can still destroy any blue permanent, which is very nice.
Needless to say, Red Elemental Blast was the obvious winner, and gets to move on to the next level of ratings. You can buy any of these cards at http://www.mtgafanatic.com/!
