Todays final RtR card to rate is... Urban Burgeoning  Spoiler:
Show
5.0: First pick no matter what. I will always play this card.
4.5: Splashable and first pick worthy.
4.0: First pick pack 1.
3.5: Early pick though not always a first pick.
3.0: Solid early/mid pick.
2.5: Solid pick in color.
2.0: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5: Decent filler.
1.0: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).
This card is a piece of garbage. One of the worst cards in the set easily. 0 Discuss!

0. total trash. I wouldn't play it even if I had four underworld connections and was in gorgari. In its dream scenario, it's still useless.
Check out my cube!Spoiler:

My sig was so awesome it broke Browsers, I had to remove it.

oh my god, AWESOME!
Then changing the Slivers was your idea! haha

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters. More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it. Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

How is that useless?
You don't think drawing 3 cards a turn is useful????

At my store we started putting up all the Urban Burgeoning boots on a tac board.
I will never take this card outside of last pick.

You're taking it out of context. You have to play a completely worthless card to make that work. It is better to thin your deck of trash than trying to pull of a pretty unnecessary card combo.
I pick lands over these because I know I'll at least play those.

I am always baffled when I see opponents playing these. It almost feels like it should say "Draw a card when Urban Burgeoning comes into play"

0. I'd have to be pretty pressed on playables to take up a slot with this even if I was playing Underworld Connections.

To be fair, if I were lucky enough to pull two Underworld Connection, I might just put it in for giggles. Gotta admit, the concept of drawing tons of cards each turn is... enticing and it would pay for itself quickly enough.
Still, I probably wouldn't even in that situation. Underworld Connections does enough by itself methinks.
