Everyone has at least 1 card that they think is extremely good and under-represented in the format.
Post yours!
Also, a quick note: no insulting the choices fo others, no matter how stupid. I don't want this thread to turn into a giant hatefest like my one on standard deck help did a while ago. That doesn't mean that you can't correct people (if they make a rulings error or say that their card beats another card or an archetype) but no "omg your card sux"
my card:
trinket mage. Fetches tormod's crypt, engineered explosives, pithing needle, executioner's capsule (which kills twin, emrakul, and blighted agent while dodging pact of negation), or darksteel citadel, depending on what you need. His ability to act as a tutor and a body that they lose card advantage if they waste removal on is invaluable.

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

Much like Niche's "Ghost Quarter your Land and in response to your Fetch play Shadow of Doubt," it takes decent play and makes them great.

I'd like it if you'd give some explanation of why you chose the card you chose.

Aether vial  . I know it doesn't fall into the category of 'unknown tech', but it's definitely underexplored in modern, and I think it's a crying shame when you consider the fact that it helps you improve the board while leaving mana up for countermagic. I also think sword of fire and ice  is an underused draw engine.

Also, if Visions is Unbanned (which it won't, it's not about "balance" people, it's about money, they want you to buy the M12 draw spell!) Ricochet Trap  .

I think a good Pebbles deck (probably Enduring Renewal  + Blasting Station  + Memnite  / Ornithopter  as the combo) is very well positioned in the format. While it's a bit slower than the other combo decks, It can pack a LOT of disruption, the combo only requires 2 colored mana, allowing you to run a very basic land heavy manabase (immune to Blood Moon  , etc.), and has the potential to get people to make play mistakes at every point in the match, via transformative sideboards, a rogue strategy in game 1, and lack of clear splash hate.

Does the copy not trigger Storm because it's a cast trigger? Balls, no one has caught that on Le Program, haha.
