The removal spell so good, they reprinted it in
Alara even though it hadn't rotated out yet. Go
figure. It hits everything except lands, and
stuff with shroud. If this is your main answer
against creatures, you don't need to sideboard
in artifact/enchantment removal! To say nothing
of the fact that in the block that gave us
Makeshift Mannequin, and again in the block that
gave us Unearth, this doesn't send its target to
the graveyard.

Thursday - Oblivion Ring
This was a great card when it came out in Lorwyn,
and then Wizards was nice enough to reprint it
in Shards of Alara (does this suggest it'll make
an appearance in Eleventh Edition?). This is
like an easier to use Vindicate that can't hit
lands, but does that really matter a lot of the
time? It can deal with most any problem card on
the board for the low cost of 3 mana. Sure, if
they manage to remove Oblivion Ring they get
their card back, but enchantment kill isn't that
popular, and if they bounce it, you can just
replay it.
This is good for the same reasons in limited.
Most bombs can be handled by this no problem.
First-pick material, easily.

Here is a card I did not pick, but I kinda over
look it because it is a common and was reprinted
so quick. I will admit I used it alot and
drafted it alot also. Most of the time I will
save it for a major threat. I have seen it used
on something that is not the major threat,
and they regret playing it so soon. It may have
not made my top ten, but it is in the top 15 in
my book. If we would have pick by rarity, this
would have been number one.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said.
Nice all-round answer to nearly everything
(including opposing copies). Fits in casual to
deal with whatever comes up. In limited its
golden removal and in constructed it deals with
troublesome planewalkers. Great Card.
