Taskmaster seems like a perfect fit in your deck, gets better in multiples, and is still an early drop in this format (in my experience), while weakness is really only half a removal spell. Sure, sometimes you get to eat their Talas Researcher, but it looks a lot less hot when you’re facing a board of brass man, giant tortoise and yotian soldier.

Both make Sedge Troll less impressive. I played a near mono-Black deck that spashed red for Sedge, and it rarely survived until the end of the turn I played it.

Not unless you consider the commons that block him easily such as Yotian Soldier or Giant Tortoise very strong cards, too. Five mana is pretty easy to get and unconditional removal is not so easy to find. Still, I can understand the appeal.

You’re right when you say people get upset about being beaten by “crappy” little things.

My build didn’t contain Howl, such a pity, but Dark Ritual was AMAZING.

M2G1:
T1: Mountain, Gobllin Firestarter
Opp: Island
T2: Swamp, Ritual, Ogre Taskmaster
Opp: “sack”
… in the end, I top-decked another Firestarter for the kill.

He was not happy. :-D

It’s exactly the same card as Goblin Bully in an environment with no graveyard manipulation. You took Warp Artifact over two of them
