I know its sarcasm, but its sadly true. (well besides naturaly the enormus problem of walkers) If it was "counter target creature spell, draw a card" It would at least be marginaly playable but as is the card is pretty bad.

Meh, I disagree. Sideboard card... yeah, it's BW, which is unpopular right now, but it's still a pretty good card on its own. It just needs a deck.

Blightning isn't overpowered, a free Blightning attached to a 3/2 hasted body is overpowered.

That for 4 mana you can get a 3/2 hasted body, 3 more dmg to the dome, and two cards discarded is stupid.

Cascade is stupid. That is all. At least they had the good sense to cost most of the other cascade cards properly. Notice the difference between Bloodbraid Elf and oh I don't know, all the other cascade cards? Bloodbraid Elf is the only one who is actually good for his mana cost even if you just removed cascade.

I also think it's mainly Cascade that causes you to think it's so terrifying. Blightning never being a dead card is like saying you would't mind paying 3 for a Lava Spike. (lol @ the people who say 'Bolt'.)

Both Mind Rot and Lava Spike (in its day) are perfectly acceptable. Together they make a good and powerful card, but far from imbalanced.
