I'm not usually into preordering cards, but I might get some Surgical Extraction if the price is right. IIRC, Extirpate was fairly expensive while it was in standard, 6-9 for most of it?

Yeah but there wasnt mythics back then. These just may end up being $3-4 on presales.

Standard:
-It kills every non-titan, non-baneslayer; even indestructibles (Knight Exemplar.)
-It kills Knights; and it does it when Exemplar is in play!
-Even if it doesn't outright kill a titan, it weakens it enough for any single creature in any of my decks (2+power) to take it out.
-It only costs 2 mana, and fits right into most of my decks removal curve.

Legacy:
-Kills Zoo
-Kills Fish
-Kills Goblins
-Kills Artifact Creatures
-Kills Black creatures

Its almost as good as Sudden Death; but that Split Second is one extra mana (I still use it though.)

Grasp > Disfigure; -2/-2 just ain't enough, -4/-4 is.

Joz's Tiers of Removal: Single target.
T1:
-Path to Exile
-Swords to Plowshares
-Diabolic Edict
-Sudden Death
-Grasp of Darkness
-Chainer's Edict
-Terminate
-Arc Trail
-Flame Slash

T2: (out of these, I only use the first 3 and Bolt)
-Unmake
-Doom Blade
-Go for the Throat
-Dark Banishing
-Crib Swap
-Lightning Bolt
-Condemn
-Incinerate

T3: (I never use any of these anymore; terror got replaced, and the rest are just not as good as the other instant-speed options in T1 and T2)
-Terror (sorry buddy...)
-Reciprocate
-Exile
-Journey to Nowhere
-Oblivion Ring
-Hex (needs to cost 1 less at least.)

T1: Entire battlefield:
-Wrath of God
-Damnation
-Mutilate
-Overwhelming Forces
-Innocent Blood

T2:
-Do or Die
-Barter in Blood
-Infest
-Day of Judgment
-Decree of Pain (8 mana, 2 more then OF)
-Route
-Earthquake

T3:
-Plague Winds
-Pryoclasm
-Hurricane
-Akroma's Vengeance

Overwhelming Forces doesn't cost 2 less than Decree of Pain and the way it works is much worse than written on the card. No way it should be tier 1 mass removal.

ooops; my bad.

I meant Rain of Daggers from P2 that costs 6; I got the two confused.

my bad, move overwhelming forces to T2.

Summer magic is RV cards; with a 1994 date on them.

Made me remember that disturbing french movie from the 60s ''Les yeux sans visage'' (Eyes without a face).

I am so, soooo happy that I got most of the cards through purchases and trades on MOTL years ago. That's such an obscene amount to shell out for a deck.

On the other hand, I now know that I've invested in over $1.3k of cards (my guess is 2-3 times as much, since I have a fair few duals, fetches, and other old staples), which is kind of scary. I definitely don't have that much cash to spare, and I haven't ever (and, as an academic, probably never will!).

Sorry, the realization just kind of scared me.

I recently came to the realization that I've been carrying about $2500 in cards for the last 5 months. I can see why people steal cards at events since most people are inadvertently carrying hundreds of dollars of cards at a given moment.

OMFG. I just calculated the value of my pet deck (the one linked to in my signature), and it turns out that without basic lands, it's worth about $1364.02, according to the physical non-foil prices (rather than non-foils weekly; that's probably a fair bit pricier).
