Friday - Avoid Fate
Wow, this is a card that got a lot more powerful
when 6th Edition came out. This is able to now
counter an instant or enchantment that targets a
permanent you control, all for the low price of 1
green mana. Then again, it is in green, so it will
have limited uses anyway. But to be able to stop
Swords, a Blast (Hydroblast/Pyroblast/Red or Blue
Elemental Blast) aimed at a permanent, or any of
the direct damage aimed at a permanent might
actually be useful, if you need an effect like
this.
Constructed: 3 |

Avoid Fate may just be worth avoiding. Of the
spells you need to worry about, probably more than
half are dealing damage to creatures which is why
Green has Giant Growth and Invigorate. Maybe
decent for some situations but not the best.
Constructed - Green should rarely be looking for
defensive solutions - 2.00
Limited - Most players have a handful of cards
in their whole deck that this will counter,
probably not worth it - 1.75
PEZ - I will risk upsetting Matthew who had 2
in his Origins SB, but I just don't see this card
being strong enough even against Pros Tides - 2.00

A green card that can
counter!! That’s super! “Oh, you want to Shock my
Krosan Vorine? I don’t think soooo!”
Anyway, I love this card. It can help against blue
decks (bounce, treachery,
control magic), red (burn), and black (smother,
dark banishing) a lot. It
wont be as helpful against the remaining colors,
but it can have its
moments. I think this card has a very high “cool
factor”. While it’s more of
a sideboard card. I don’t see why not use it. Very
handy in some decks, I
would love it in my 5 color 250 card deck..
Avoid Fate

Would be a much better card now than it was then,
since it's something like
a limited mages guile, and in green, but still not
amazing. Sideboard
card at most in constructed, but perhaps a main-decker
in limited, to save
your critter from removal/pacifism.

First off I must say...
A great overlooked mental magic card.
All in all a solid card, sort of out of
flavor in a way. Problem is its a T1 card. I think
they should reprint this and see what happens. All
in all, a very cool card.
In "legends" limited, if it ever happened
somehow, I would probably have these in my
sideboard as late picks. It counters some neat
stuff. Plus its green!
Constructed: 1.5 (It technically one day COULD do
something good in T1)
Limited: 3
