I had a friend back in 4th Edition who ran a blue/black deck stuffed with counters and discard stuff like Counterspell and that damn Hypnotic Specter, a flying creature that made you discard a card every time it hit you.

And not just a card: A CARD AT RANDOM.

We used to joke about how obnoxious a Specter equipped with a Viridian Longbow would be.

> No Land destruction. It sucks to be unable to cast spells.

I have yet to find someone actually running land destruction in their deck, it's such a hated mechanic.
