Is it just me, or are Rancor and Silverblade Paladin the most OP cards of all time?

Seriously, coming back from a turn two Rancor is just an endless uphill battle, there's no argument there, just "Rancor...oh yeah, auto-include!"  How did this even make the final cut, one fing mana, absurd.

Silverblade you at least have a small chance against, especially since you have abrupt decay.  still, as soon as it hits the board your opponent has two options:  "Ok, I kill it and hope he doesnt have another."  or  "all my creatures die to his two mana 2 power creature, YEAH!"

How do these aut-include cards make it past R&D.  I read their articles were they whine about "Firemind's Foresight" made the game no fun because after it was played the game was over.  Now the card CAN be good, but is way too expensive to be useful in tourney play,  And yet, a one mana and three mana BOMB are ok to push ahead.

What happened to this game being about people who could see the value of cards and make solid decks.  Every other card these days is "oh yeah, that's 8 recurring damage for 3 mana, that goes in!"  The game no longer needs intelligence to play, just an internet connection and/or the ability to count to three.

Rancor is far from the most op card.

As Escef already nention the Power 9, I 'll list some other cards that are significantly more powerful;

Yawgmoth's Bargain
Yawgmoth's Will
Necropotence
Sol Ring
Scroll Rack
Demonic Tutor
Vampiric Tutor
Entomb

I could go on for a few pages but I'm sure you get the point.

I always get those mixed up. Even though one's useless and one's insane in an enchantress deck.
