on 8/2/2008 A 2/2 for 2 is not that good, a 1/1 for 2 is terrible. This card is terrible. The art/artist isn't always changed when a card is reprinted.

on 8/2/2008 So, again you paid too many, you're getting a 2/2. Well, once again this is actually 1 power and toughness 3. However, you're going to get a negative effect because of the overweight on the power and toughness to the mana rate. So, Spineless Thug can't block.

What does this even mean. It's incomprehensible and has absolutely no meaning to any player that knows how to play in the Magic community.

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". And here we have and I'm going to discuss Spineless Thug. Spineless Thug is another utility card, out of the basic set, it is a common, as we can see here, which is in the 10th edition. This is the 10th edition version of Spineless Thug, which means that the picture has changed, and/or the artist has changed the picture, and/or the artist is different. This is zombie mercenary, which means it gets all the benefits from a being a zombie, if you have zombie boosting cards, and Spineless Thug costs you 1 and a black to play. Now, it costs you 1 and a black to play and is a 2/2. So, again you paid too many, you're getting a 2/2. Well, once again this is actually 1 power and toughness 3. However, you're going to get a negative effect because of the overweight on the power and toughness to the mana rate. So, Spineless Thug can't block. That means you're getting a 2/2 for 2, but this creature can never block."
