Forum:Worst card ever?

I would like to know what cards do you consider the worst. I know that every card can be used in one way or another, but there are cards that are just aweful in every way imaginable. Excluded are cards from LOB, MRD and SRL/MRL as well as the first starters, because terrible cards in these sets were plentyful. Also, combos that "justify" the use of these cards should be effective and simple, otherwise any card could be excused. Here are my thoughts:


 * Hourglass of Courage: ok, this card could be considerd as cheating because it's been out in Japan for years before hitting the TCG, but look at it: when it's summoned, its already lousy stats are halved. At the End-Phase of your next turn, its original stats are doubled; however it is doubtful it will have survived your opponent's turn.


 * Gamble: extremely specific in its activation requirements, with a 50% chance of skipping your own turn.


 * Pyro Clock of Destiny: I don't understand the use of this card. It's even a waste of space in decks using Final Countdown.


 * Warrior Lady of the Wasteland: this card is a worse version of Giant Rat and (except for purist warrior decks) useless. I still don't understand why they added the attribute/low ATK limit to the search requirements.


 * Senet: (the whole archetype) the idea behind this game-mechanic sounds interesting. However, the effects are far too weak to justify this new play style. Maybe in the future, they'll return with better effects, but until then they'll have a place in this list.


 * Emissary from Pandemonium: The fist sentence nearly kills this card. By tributing one monster you might maintaine field advantage but a level 5 with 1300 is just ridiculous, even if it is a tuner.


 * Minoan Centaur: in times of Xyz, this card might not sound as bad as it actually is. It is basically a much worse version of Rescue Rabbit.


 * Dreadscythe Harvester: aweful ATK for this high level and the attack increase is not permanent.


 * Number C39: Utopia Ray: it needs 3 Light monsters or a much better Xyz monster as materials. The only reason to play this card is when the OG Utopia ran out of materials and you use him as the only material or play a ZW deck (this doesn't matter for this thread though).


 * The Winged Dragon of Ra: three tribute for a monster with 0 ATK or one that can't even use it's effect properly. Seriously, Slifeer and Obelisk are much better.

Those are just from the top of my head, and I'd love to hear your input.
