[CON] Telemin Performance

V0id · 01-21-2009, 05:00 AM

Telemin Performance -

Sorcery (R)
Target opponent reveal cards from the top of his/her library until a creature card has been revealed. Put all non-creature cards revealed this way into that player's graveyard, then put the creature card into play under your control.

Art crop:

Definitely not a Bribery but *may* find its niche use against certain control decks.
Hope you like it.

and, surely you won't come across this post - this site - have a happy birthday today, my nada, my girl.

Worst than bribery. Haha pretty terrible.

Seppel · 01-21-2009, 05:04 AM

Casual lulz?

Yay, you spent 5 on a FoD or a Hell's Thunder. Aren't you efficient?

If there's any T2 deck that would play this, it's Sanity Grinding.

RainbowBrite · 01-21-2009, 05:06 AM

Interesting, but much worse than bribery, unless you know they're playing a creatureless deck....

00Shoe · 01-21-2009, 05:06 AM

This card is printed in the wrong era. It preys on decks that plays a bunch of control spells and only a handful of bomby creatures. Those decks don't really exist nowadays in Standard, but against those decks this card could be better than Traumatize as it might mill more cards and even get you a creature.

Then again, said decks are usually full of counterspells so this would never resolve anyway. =/

jokeeeer · 01-21-2009, 05:07 AM

So... It mills the entire deck if the opponent doesnt play creatures? I find that hard to believe.

Adoril20 · 01-21-2009, 05:07 AM

the only deck this could potentially hit would be 5cc with 10 creatures =/ so you could potentially mill 5-10cards lol what a waste of 5 mana :P

Sanity Grinding might like it though

Felecorr · 01-21-2009, 05:09 AM

Bomb against control decks, since they play maybe 12 creatures. Beyond that it mills. You people are spoiled, because this is a decent card. It mills them (for possibly a small amount) and snags something our of their deck.

Why terrible? It's not great,but not terrible either...

I think it's a great SB card against Planeswalkers decks or Naya ramp...

It is terrible bacause it costs 5 mana, is a sorcery, its effect is very random and mill doesnt help at all if your arent playing a mill deck and no such a deck sees play right now. Not to mention that bribery isnt good either. Also sanity grinding doesnt see play in standard right now so dont tell me it is.. its a casual deck at best..

RafaelK · 01-21-2009, 05:19 AM

If milling deck ever becomes a contender, this is the bomb sideboard card to bring in against a mostly creatureless deck... otherwise yeah, not that interesting. May be playable in EDH as a backup Bribery which is at least more likely than not to hit against your more timmyish decks (e.g. anyone playing Mayael)

Monopoman · 01-21-2009, 05:22 AM

Actually in this format I think Bribery would be quite strong since a couple decks do run 1-2 copies of really good creatures.

Anyways yeah this is only good against decks that run 1-2 creatures both of the finisher variety if you can resolve it.

It would have been good against UB Teachings from last meta assuming you won the counter war.

Andar · 01-21-2009, 05:22 AM

Brilliant against Teps or other creatureless combodeck

. Teps can also play it in sideboard for mirrors. Not for Standard, though.

ThiS2Vi · 01-21-2009, 05:28 AM

The ones who have played Twin Sanity knows that this card can find a place. Maybe not in MD but a good SB it could be.
