Because he was originally printed in Mercadian Masques, thus was played with Masticore (T2) and Survival of the Fittest (T1.X)... I understand that you probably aren't that old, but at least look at when the card was in print before you make such silly statements. |

Even if that is the case why is he not being played now? You have two masticores in modern to abuse his ability and still isnt seeing play. Again, I never called him bad in the first place, I am just making him better. |

He was reprinted in 10th, and Molten-Tail Masticore and Fauna Shaman are also Modern legal and extremely close relatives/good replacements for Masticore and Survival and each see play, but Squee still doesn't.
There are far more powerful things to be discarding than Squee that have been printed since, and power creep has rendered it a bad card - which is why when it was reprinted in 10th nobody played it. Just because a card was good in your heyday doesn't mean it's good now, unfortunately. This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way when I tried to make a modern Dralnu du Louvre deck and found out that Teferi is no longer the end-all be-all game-ruiner that it used to be. |

| I never claimed that Squee is playable now. Squee was good after its initial printing. I thought the point of the round was to take a card that never performed and make it good? Maybe I misunderstood the directions... |

Desolation Giant was actually sorta playable... It was no Wood Elemental - you sorta just made it more streamlined.

More streamlined, better gameplay impact - but not really giving oomph to a bad card (Marble Titan was usable, sometimes)

The wizard became bored again and did not repeat his mistake in creating a bunny mixed with a piranha . This time, he improved it. |
Now this is an upgrade! Kinda disappointed it wasn't a Rabbit.

No flavor text as that would clutter the text box way too much. |

I hate how simple Dopeman made it. It *is* uncanny, how this would easily become a chase card.

Counters remain on Norin the Compleated as it moves into exile and onto the battlefield.
They may have removed most of his humanity, but numerous upgrades have yet to remove his cowardice
2/1 |
This might be the first card that "remembers" itself as it moves through zones. I think the awesome thing about Norin (original) was that it could attack - and then bounce itself.

4cc, 5/5 trample would have been good enough =). So - now he's really a hero.

Clarification for the flavor text: Imagine a Rhox with 2 heads and 4 hands - the other head looks older/wiser (to partially explain the hexproof part). |
This is way too powerful. It's effectively 10 damage a turn, 15 if something blocks it. If the opponent has a Stuffy Doll...

Lotsa bad cards made cooler. And lots of bad ones made good.
At the end of the day, I'd have to go with my gut and choose my favourite.
Squee wins.
Kidding.
GunsandDope - with the Savannah Lions 2.0 - for simplicity and elegance! You get to judge the next round.
Props to Luckyducky of the Rabbit, Duodax of Krosa, Axiomblurr of Haj - for being awesome with their card choices!
Gademis, I thought hard about that Core Dragon. It woulda been awesome in Big Red. |
