Talk:De Guaita Crush Knuckle!/@comment-4292163-20140405000407

What I hate most about this card is that it's good... but Great Spell, My Grandfather Clock is better. I mean if you can't get a field wipe or 2+ damage from an extra battle phase then you're in a pretty bad position, and Grandfather Clock is a +0 and costs 1 gauge (after the extra turn) to this card's -1 and 3 gauge. Even if you'd want to run more than 4 Clocks, you'd be better off running Center of the World, Mary Sue than this. Mary Sue into Grandfather Clock is the same net 3 gauge as this, but a +1 instead of a -1!

This is a great card, flexible and reasonably priced. I hate that it's so hopelessly outclassed outside of budget and hybrid builts.
