What are your pet cards?

[tomc...@gmail.com]

When I look at cube lists, my eyes are drawn to all the cards I'm not running--particularly those I've never considered running. Since the folks here seem to be a bit outside the cube hivemind, I'd be very interested to hear what your favorite "pet" cards are. (I've already seen two of my personal favorites that I rotate in and out of my cube mentioned: Form of the Dragon and Scute Mob.)

Now, I realize that these cards are even more than most context-dependent. I've been experimenting with pushing morph heavily in my cube, for example, so I'll have to give some background to explain why I'm running Zoetic Cavern. But hopefully we can pick up some useful ideas from each other.

Looking through my own list, some cards I run that I suspect others don't, and that I admit to having a personal fondness for:

Crib Swap

Grand Abolisher

Scepter of Dominance (this one barely makes the cut though)

Squadron Hawk

Sunlance

Confiscate

Delay

Telling Time

Child of Night

Darkblast

Browbeat

Borderland Ranger

Utopia Sprawl

Mwonvuli Acid-Moss

Overrun

Curse of Chains

Desperate Ravings

Zealous Persecution

Epochrasite

Wayfarer's Bauble

Warning: many of these are bad. But some are quite good. Try at your own risk. Results may vary.
