So, I was going through the cards using the wizards gatherer and i thought that i could organize all the magic cards in community rating order, asceding or descending.

Imagining I could take a good laugh at the wrorst cards ever printed, this was what I've found:

The top ten Worst magic cards rated by community (I am including only the legal cards in vintage)


#10 Scavenging Scarab  

  

Why not have a Mana Cost 4, 3/3 creature that can't block? Even if it didn't have the drawback it would be terrible...

#9 Aven Trooper

 


A 1/1 Flying at 4 mana? You gotta be kidding... but WAIT! It has an ability! If you spend 3 more mana and discard a card of your hand it becomes a powerful 2/3 flyer until the end of the turn. If you manage how to win a game with this cards you are such a player. And besides all that, the art is terrible.

#8 Zombie Goliath  



How to describe it? A 4/3 drop for 5 mana is a bad drop, but we have senn a lot of that at those crappy common at the drafts. The fact that makes it worse is that IT GOT PRINTED 3 TIMES!! (and they didn't even chage the art or flavor text). Come on guys, it could at least trample.

#7 Goblin Firebug



This leaves me breathless. Second turn: BAAAM! Goblin firebug! a 2/2 for 2 mana? pretty stable, doesn't die to a Lava Dart ... But your opponet can shock it  and get a free molten rain at you for one mana. It's definately horrible, unless someone knows a combo, but I will be sure it is a pretty bad combo.

 #6 Vassal's Duty



Ok. Let's take some time understanding what is this. A RARE enchantment that costs 4 mana, ok, It prevents 1 damage for 1 mana, ok, but here we go: only to legendary creatures and it delas damage to YOU. This wouldn't be a bad card if it was uncommon and costed 2 mana. It could at least regenerate your creature instead.

#5 Thermal Blast



 Pretty standart crappy instant if you compare to commons like shock or lightning bolt . 5 mana for 3 damage is a pretty high cost, and you can only target creatures... lame. Artwork is pretty disturbing too.

#4 Takeno's Cavalry



Oh my god. What is that? A 1/1 that costs 4 must be pretty strong... WAIT! It sometimes becomes 2/2. Take a look at the tap ability, he hits attacking or blocking spirits for 1 damage. This is one disturbing card. I recommend taking a look at the flavor text before reading the comment: "at night he perfected his aim, shooting spiderwebs by starlight"

"To have a good laugh, that's all this is good for. 
At night he perfected his aim... I wonder how skillful his aim was before he practiced. Something like: ": Takeno's Cavalry deals 1 damage to target attacking or blocking Aven Trooper ." Stay in the night so nobody has to see you again." by holgir


 #3 Bog Hoodlums



 this one is pretty crazy. At first it costs SIX mana and it's 4/1, ok it can clash to become a 5/2, still terrible, dies to an elite vanguard . Second thing, it CAN'T block, okay, now it can't even stop a single creature from hitting you. 3rd and last, you have to clash, this means you should have a heavier deck to win the clashs, I wouldn't even bother clashing. At least it is a goblin and a warrior for the synergies.

It deserves mythic status. And you can use ponder to win the clash! by slann01


#2 Viashino Skeleton



 This much deserves to be here. The lengedary Viashino Skeleton. A cost 4 2/1 little creature that regenerates at the cost of a discard. This is terrible in so many ways... It could cost 3, It could regenerate with only the discard cost, it could be AT LEAST 2/2 and still be a terrible card.

"Once, on turn 6, I played this, you know just to make sure I could regenerate it. So, when my opponent threw a Lightning Bolt at it, I regenerated it discarding a Baneslayer Angel. Hah, blew up in his face, huh?" by Gomorrah


#1 Razor Boomerang



Guys, we have a winner: Razor Bommerang ! I don't even know where to start this. I will make it simple: pay 5 mana and tap a creature for 1 single point of damage. There is no use to this card in any deck ever. Even if you came up with the greatest combo for infinity damage, there would be one thousand better ways to do it. And it is uncommon...

Honorable Mention: Wood Elemental



This is my personal favorite. It sucks in unimaginable ways. At first, you can only sacrifice UNTAPPED FORESTS, not even an island or plains. This means, at turn 5, if tap 4 lands and SACRIFICE the other one you drop a 1/1 elemental. Despite that this card is a RARE print with, in my opinion, a very bad art. Even if you manage to untap all your lands when you play it, it would still have to sacrifice all your forest to become, maybe a 7/7 without trample that probably costed you the game.
