Top 5 Unexpected M12 Cards for Standard

Yes after a hiatus and a half i've returned with another article, today we will be looking at 5 M12 cards which no one thought was going to get used for a standard environment with a bunch of decks that no one expected to even survive the bannings of a certain Meta Sculptor and a Mystic, so let's begin

Timely Reinforcements - Seriously if you were to ask me about this card i'd probably tell you it's utter crap, however it's in Neo Caw-Blade and a few other white archetypes, so i cannnot complain it generates advantages, gives life, makes dudes and even cooks Juillene fries for crying out loud, who loves this card now, me that's who.

Stonehorn Dignitary - Apparently while i was gone i figured out this guy is a beast in Venser, drop him turn 4, play venser off turn 5, blink him, no combat for your opponent for the rest of the game, all the while you get to attack with all your big dudes, sick and effective personally i wanted to think of a card that wasn't white but my mind is still half asleep as of this writing.

Mana Leak - Why is this on here, i'll explain straight up, first i thought at one point this wasn't getting a reprint and soon after i find out it is, i'm kinda shocked they reprinted this over Counterspell which is double blue to cast, but far superior in the late game personally, i didn't want Leak for another year but we ended up getting stuck with a horse head in my bed apparently

Zombie Infestation - This card made me think at first, then i realized they reprinted it because of the fact Innistrad is going to be a graveyard based block, so it kind of makes sense to me to reprint this enchantment which we've not seen for a while now, but i digress making dudes off discards is fun and all, worth every slot to me at least, for the time being we will have to wait and see what Innistrad comes out with so we can determine how this can be used.

Goblin Grenade - With a few goblins in standard as of right now it seemed bout right to reprint this card, 1 drop, sacrifice a goblin and deal 5 damage to a player or creature, that's a mighty big stick goblins are carrying and apparently this has turned out to be a decent reprint for goblin decks everywhere, here's hoping we see goblins used in standard again for crying out loud.

Well that's it for me, just a short one from my hiatus of all things insane, tommorow i will return normally and take a look at the M12 event decks which go on sale next friday if i am not mistaken, till next time this is vergil signing off.
