Card that gains you life: No redeeming qualities

Card that makes you discard your hand: It has potential

[ayandragon]

Who says this is a bad card. It’s prolly the strongest Uno card ever.

[Clorwall]

"Print this badboy" should be its flavor text

[doomguy]

"Gain 7 life." *i sleep*
"Discard your entire hand." *R E A L S H I T*

[darrellwillis]

I love the flavor text on this card. "When nothing remains, everything is equally possible"

[onfrolicker]

The little “borborygmos for example” with borborygmos enraged showing onscreen as a reference to the iconinic pithing needle targeting “borborygmos” made me laugh.

One with nothing’s original flavor text - “Suicide is badass!”

[otwk]

Angel's Mercy? Play it with lich's mastery, and it turns into "Gain 7 life, draw 7 Cards".

[Nateson]

Man that suicide combo... that's a true way to concede

[joshuataylor]

I may have a hand that can do it better:
One with Nothing, Dark Ritual, Rain of Filth, Swamp, Tormod's Crypt, Demonic Consolation, Mishra's Bauble
This requires 2 less mana, allows you to lose at the start of an opponents turn, and does exactly what the original hand did. Here's how:
Play Swamp, cast Rain of Filth, sacrifice the Swamp to float 1, cast Dark Ritual, Mishra's Bauble, and Tormod's Crypt, sacrifice the Bauble, cast Demonic Consulation, then One with Nothing, and sacrifice Tormod's Crypt. Pass and draw from an empty library on their turn.

*Life points are valuable*

Every black magic player: I'm sorry what was that?

[Rose_Tinted]

As a 10 year Yu-Gi-Oh veteran, who only recently started playing magic, my first thought when I saw this card was an infernity and darkworld players wet dream

[DjYale]

Sam accidentally invested in 100, 000 of these cards and is just trying to increase the price of them with this video

[Qamikace]

One with Nothing is also one of the worst orders you could make at your local burger joint.

[GFCOLCQuote]

6:19 " It explicitly says 'I go against everything you value in this game' "


This really feels like like the finishing line a villain of an MTG anime would say as he plays this card, and somehow doing some crazy madness shenanigans and winning on the spot.

[matthewl]

It's funny because i just started playing mtg and when i saw Angel's Mercy on the screen my first thought was *_OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO GOOD_*

[ourboyroy]

angel's mercy is so forgettable that when you mentioned how forgettable it was you called it angel's grace lol

[fedelanci]

That turn one suicide combo made me want to see a format in which the objective of the game is reversed. The firs player to get to 0 life wins.

[yamatoclassmusashi]

Me who doesnt know anything about Magic the gathering:
*"Mhm, Go On."*
