Hellspark eh?
Hellspark doesn't actually have to be answered as he kills himself for you. So he's just burn. Is burn really that much of a problem? I always played control where burn just doesn't matter until it can kill me.
And don't Kitchen Finks/RWM/Plumeveil amasculate the Hellspark to an extent?
Thanks for the input!
EDIT: Yes, I'm working on a Sligh build and I'm being told Hellspark is better for Sligh than a goblin sligh using Outlander and Deathraiders (which enable earwig+snitch nicely). I didn't come out and say it initially because I wanted to try for some unbiased feedback from the opposition.
 Boasts?

I would put Hellspark as the most problematic, as it is basically a guaranteed 6 damage against us unless we have Plumeveil.
The most problematic 2 drop of all 2 drops is clearly Tidehollow Sculler.
Agreed

I'm going to begin working on a new thread if I'll have the support of those currently active in this one.
Thoughts?
There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Here's an outside->in question to you 5cc players.
Which of these 2 drops is the most problematic for 5cc? Note that I'm not asking about 2 drops in general, just regarding the list below:
Feel free to rate them in order of irritation factor as well.
Thanks!
Anything with Unearth and/or haste is a problem. More so, unearth though. So, Hellspark fo-sho.
I'm going to begin working on a new thread if I'll have the support of those currently active in this one.
Thoughts?
You got my support Spike.

Spike sounds fine to me. I haven't heard about anyone on this...what do you think of using the Skyward Eye Prophets  as a late-game draw engine? I haven't been able to test much, but I think that they might be draw spell 9-10 next time I get a chance. I like the ability to stick any lands right into play, and they can swing for 3 in addition to the drawing (if your opponents board is clear). They don't die to Fallout, so they don't have the same problem that the Shusher did. They obviously die to the normal creature removal, but they could replace Jace for decks that run him. Thanks, Hdier

We can also play Broodmate Dragon/Cruel Ultimatum/Banefire and win in a few turns.
It's not a bad card, but we just don't need it in my opinion.

If you draw it...I'm running 2xBroodmate and 1xCruel right now, and I usually don't see either one until turn 8 or so. This is testing a deck with 8 draw spells, 4 each of Mulldrifter and Esper Charm.
