My Favorite creature is deffinatly Luroyf (or how ever you spell it) its attack is = to the # of creatures in all of the graveyards, and its defense is the same +1. it is awsome for finishing the game off.
also, one of my favorite cards has to be Jauckalops, which clears the entire board of everything. that is perfect if you:
1.) have a bunch of cheap creatures in you hand.
or
2.) know that you can't win and you need to take out as many things as you can.

Mind over matter is a pretty nasty one, and can be used for a buch of neat combos (with Tolarian Accademy, as Tom Bombadil can likely attest to).
As for Cursed scroll, its an artifact for 1 mana, which you can tap and pay 3 mana to use the following ability: name a card, have an oponent randomly select a card from your hand, if its the card you name, cursed scroll dishes out 2 damage to a creature or player.

Umm... true.. but i have to say that royal assasins do definetly suck.. there are so many counter attacks to royal assassin its not even funny.. theres a card in every color that can counter that.. for example ..
Black = Smother
White = Swords to plowshares ( only w cost )
Blue = Unsummon
Red = Electrostatic bolt , Lightning bolt.. tons of cards.
Green = I dont remember its name but its a card that says destroy target black creature.
Add up all this and just realize that royal assassin does SUCK! its a good for nothing card... just another one of those crap rares that u feel pissed about when u get it from a booster..

Hahahahaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaa! You can think of counters for EVERY card! That doesn't make all cards bad, does it? Royal Assassin is for its costs and ability a very very good card.

If I buy ten booster packs and find out every pack has a royal assassin in it I'm going to believe that there is a God.

Dude Royal assissin has some great combos!
if i dig out my old cards i can probably find combos that would counter those counters you said.
This game is all about nuetralizing and countering spells and the likes. you can find a counter for everything it's really easy.

the thing about royal assassin is that everyone plays with effecient creature removal, but you don't leave creatures to do it. Unless they themselves are hard to get rid of. The best creature are the ones that are hard to destroy, and in many cases a lot of decks don't even play using creatures, or if they do, it's only a few. The decks that are aggressive and are almost entirly composed of creatures are all really fast, and or hard ot kill, and the royal assassing landing on turn three and picking off one guy on turn four is not going to deal with the 16 damage you are being dealt by 4 to 7 large (in respect to mana cost, 2/2 for 1, 3/3 for 2, 1/1 for 1 that produces 1, meaning about 3 more of those, and a 6/6 for 4) green creatures that attack on turn 4.
Royal assassin is not used in serious decks anymore, it's just a good them card, and fun to play casual, but otherwise it just doens't cut it.

man ark i see royal ass pull of some serious bank. it gets played with all the time up here. We use both ehavy creature decks and lots of enchantment decks, me and my friends use in in 3 headed ogre games. then again we have 1 person playing "tap it" deck, me with my ground pounding phrexians or zombies, goblins or volvers, and the other "kill em all" deck. it's pretty good combo between the 3 of us, and we've not lost in a long time.
