***** Blighted Agent – Take Your Opponent Out on Turn 3

Blighted Agent is an unblockable card that deals its damage as poison counter.  Stop and think, if that doesn’t sound like this card is one of the best that there is, I will explain.  In the past, before this card came out, blue and green decks were rarely played.  Thus, I can understand why some people didn’t see how great this card is at first.  In fact, I have still yet to find someone who thought of using Blighted Agent, a blue card, in combination with a card such as Might of Oaks, a green card, such that through using this combo, you can blast 8 unblockable poison counters on your opponent in one turn, such that in some formats, with the use of Blighted Agent it is practically easy to win by turn three.  In fact, with Blighted Agent there are so many ways to blast 10 poison counters on your opponent by turn 3 that this common card might even be considered for the Vintage format.  If you are able to cast this card on turn 2, or even possibly turn 1 depending on the format, the only major obstacle with this card is that like most creatures it is subject to summoning sickness.
