Anyone care to share their fun and creative uses for cards?

I was in a game the other day playing a Sylvan weenie deck against MF. MF plays three Attritions and assumes he's safe. I had a nice swam going and kept tackling any creatures that were cast but couldn't get to their base itself to get him off the flux well. In the end I dropped a Misscribed Circle right next to their buildings and hit from that hex, automatically teleporting my guys back out before taking damage, nickle-and-dimed them to death. I had to fish one or two of my guys out of the water with a Beacon, but it worked amusingly well and it was fun to think of how that would look to the guys in that earthworks/hall/etc.

Yeah, people really underestimate misscribed circle, I think. It has a lot of uses like that. Although if he had attrition and bronze statue, you'd be in some trouble ;)

Mis-scribed circle is one of those cards that isn't too great for anything, but has so many, many uses for those odd situations. Although, I must say I haven't seen a lot of cards.

It won me a game once when my starting position was fenced in by a small ring of water. All I did was stick one right next to my base and played all my creatures on it.

It's also great for giving your entangled creature a chance.

Not to mention, it's great for a last-ditch effort on someone's creature, hoping to get him on an ocean hex.

And many more uses not yet thought of!

All for 1 domain and 1 flux!

I agree: overall, quite a horrible card :P

Want a fairly creative combo I just discovered by accident?

Nether Plasma + Black Plague.

I discovered it because my plasma was next to an enemy dude I'd plagued.
(Rather assuming the Plasma wasn't living, but I hadn't checked)

His Armour 1 lets him shrug off actual damage from the plague, and his hover ability lets him (especially with a speed increase from the Sparrow Scouts) wander around happily infecting the hell out of your enemy's guys.

The best part? You get 3 of the buggers to spread your evil plague around :-D

I'm not saying it's the best, but it's not so obvious as many that are better.

I mean, Owl Familiar + Anything that mentions "Sight" is probably better, but so very much easier.

plague + plasma = good generally but sucks badly against undead deck or building deck

misscribed circle = I do know that way of using it but how would you compare it to teleport? I wouldn't put it into my deck and hope there might be some useful situation for it.
well, but combo flying creatures or fin enchantment could work... I haven't try.

I lost a game last night because of mis-scribed circle.

I teleported a stone mauler that I was currently unable to deal with onto a 1 hex island. I proceeded to forget about him...

...until 5 or so turns later, my opponent used mis-scribed circle, moving him off the island and right next to my 3 health building.
