It's a fundamental truth of being a #MagicTheGathering player that you end up with a terrible pet card you always wish you could make do good things.

Back in Lorwyn/Alara standard I had a Glaze Fiend eggs deck that was sweet, but not nearly sweet enough to complete with Faeries and Jund.

What's your terrible pet card? (Don't try to lie to me, you have one.)

Terrible? Glaze Fiend is sweet (I miss Alara draft).
At the time I really loved Sedraxis Specter. I even built a janky wet-Jund deck with this, Blightning, and Sygg River Cutthroat. I mean look at this! It's Hippie! But it comes back! And has three power!

@corpocracy I forced 5-colour green SO MUCH during Alara-Alara-Conflux, and I'll do it again given even half a chance.

Sedraxis Specter was another card I thought was cool but just never went anywhere. I blame Bloodbraid Elf, so your plan of cascading INTO Specter seems neat.

@Fruan Yeah, and the 3 power triggered Sygg. It seemed cool and synergistic! But it turns out 4 colors is harder than 3 colors in a deck, lol. It was still fun though and one of my first "real" Standard decks.
