Taking a cue from Arrest, I'm putting together a cycle of 5 utilitarian uncommon reprints that do a good a good job of showing either the hardship of starting a colony, the threat of the natives, or disaster from unexpected weather. In blue, so far, I have to choose between Exhaustion, Deluge, Hinder, Flood and Dismal Failure. Anyone have a personal favorite?

I think Exhaustion is the best choice. I dislike Flood's design, Hinder sounds too proactive, and Dismal Failure seems a bit extreme. Deluge is okay, but depends on what else is in blue.

Exhaustion is secretly very, very good. Not so good that I'm not willing to use it... but sometimes its a Sleep and a Mana Short in one card. Sometimes not, though.

I'm with dude. Exhaustion.

I like Deluge or Flood. (But I wouldn't complain about Exhaustion.)
