So that hiatus was a thing......don't ask.
But on with the show.
I've recently fallen deeply in lust with casual EDH/Commander games and making quirky decks which use offbeat generals, you know, like every other Magic player who has been playing for 6+ years that doesn't have any Pro Points.
This is some of the funnerer (that is totally a word) mono-blue generals I've dug out from my trawlings of cards.

Annoying Cards From Magic 2: All You Will Hear From Me Is NO.
There is a card in Magic, well a type of card, which throughout the years has caused more tooth cracking frustration and hatred than any other type of card.
All 5 of the colours have access to it, there's colourless versions of it as well, and each and every single time a new player comes up against them it feels like being kicked in the teeth.
There have been countless variations on the theme and they have created an entire deck archetype around themselves but never the less these 220 or so cards have caused more game losses, more close victories, more bored frustrated games and more cries of rage and calls for bannings than any other type of card.
Not bad for 2 blue mana eh? I am of course talking about Counterspell and its other fellow co-conspiritors.

Moley Presents Annoying Cards from Magic 1: Circles of Annoyance
Note this is copy and pasted from The Geek Show forums but future articles will be written fresh.
Just click the words to see the cards, saves you having to load a million pictures.
Now way back when in Magic's dark past there was a cycle of cards printed which has caused more smug faces and angry words than almost any other.
They were printed from Alpha through to 8th Edition and they were commons almost the whole time.
They can totally negate some decks and require little to no thought to use normally.
Infact there was a popular tournament deck which just 4 copies of those 5 cards, 20 lands, some board clearers and 4 Serra Angels, hell if you go far back enough there is a varient that ran 4 of each, 1 Serra Angel and 19 Lands.
I'm talking about Circles of Protection, or CoP for short, and it's varients.
