A classic. It protects you from damage, gives you a blocker, lets you use that creature's tap ability twice, ramps your mana with cards like Tolarian Academy, Sol Ring or just Tron. It protects you from counter-spells by tapping out your opponent's last island, you can put it on Scepter to get an Icy Manipulator on crack. It lets you use your artifact again and de-activates artifacts like Winter Orb or Howling Mine. There have been many variations of this card, many of which are a tad stronger. But Twiddle will always maintain its status as the first.

the alpha card is more simplistically stated then the beta or unlimited card.

Love the perfect simplicity and versatile nature of this card. Oh, sure, by today's standards it would need to cantrip or something, but it was very much in the spirit of blue: creative, flexible, and annoying. And it has funky artwork!

@kitsunewarlock: You're right about Twiddle deactivating Howling Mine, but I don't believe the same is true for Winter Orb. They changed that rule a number of years ago and it doesn't state otherwise in the oracle text. I'm sure Twiddle was excellent for deactivating artifacts back in the day though, before the rule change.
