Random Card Top 3: #9

Here we go with another Random card ranking top three! Today we have some more awesome cards to be ranked, such as Matsu-Tribe Birdstalker, Treva's Attendant, and Quillmane Baku. Let us begin!

#3 Quillmane Baku- First off, why are there such things as ki counters? And what is ki anyway? Apparently it isn't good, because Quillmane Baku over here sucks! First off you need to play spirit or arcane spells, which aren't very common to begin with, to get ki counters on it. Then you have to pay one colorless mana and tap him to return a creature with X or less casting cost, where X is the number of counters on Quillmane Baku. Okay first off, you are paying 5 mana to cast Quillmane, probably a good few turns worth of mana to get a bunch of counters on him, and one more mana to use his ability. By the end of all that ordeal, you must have wasted at least 20 mana, probably more! With all of that mana wasted on just one creature (mind you, that CAN be played again next turn), don't you wish you just used 20 Unsummons instead?

#2 Treva's Attendant- I'm goning to have to say, this card is pretty bad. I mean it's already bad enough since it is a 3/3 creature that is also a whopping 5 mana to cost, but then you must pay a sixth mana to sacrifice it to add 3 mana to your mana pool. So after all that, you have a net gain of negative three mana. This card is actually quite laughable at.

#1 Matsu-Tribe Birdstalker- So, a 2/2 for 4 mana is pretty bad. To be able to give him reach whenever you want for one green mana isn't very good either, but at least you can give him reach. What makes this awful card rise above the rest is it's first ability. Whenever he deals combat damage to a creature, that creature stays tapped for it's controller's next untap step, which is actually pretty useful!

So Matsu-Tribe Birdstalker wins over two easily beatable opponents today. You can buy him and all the other cards seen here today at http://www.mtgfanatic.com/!
