Quote from Wraithpk »First of all, Wraiths help us dig to our threats, help us get into range to cast our DSs, and help us cast our delve threats more reliably on turn 2. I used to play Grixis Delver, and it's very very hard to cast an Angler on turn 2, but I'm able to do that in this deck far more reliably, and that's not even to mention how easy they make casting Tasigurs on turn 2. And the only matchups you should be siding Wraiths out for are Burn and fast aggro decks. Wraith is super important against any deck where you need to kill them quickly, like Tron or Ad Nauseam. In grindy matchups you can actually hard cast Wraiths and they serve as a passable threat on their own.
Quote from Wraithpk »On Snapcaster, I could see running 3 if you're in an aggressive meta, but it's such an important piece to our grindy game that you'll be missing the 4th one whenever you play against Midrange or Control decks. I think 3 is the minimum, and only valid if you don't expect to run into many grindy matchups.
Quote from BloodyRabbit_01 »Short answer: it's not fit for the deck, and the issue isn't being slow (although it's another downside), but because you want to have control over your life total. Long answer: we already play lots of card which threatens to kill ourselves, and flipping a Tasigur or a Gurmag Angler is overkill. But, more importantly, you aim to never go under nine life against aggro strategies, because (otherwise) the opponent can kill you anytime with a combination of Snap + Bolt, double burn spell, or he can just go wide and make more attacking creatures than your blockers. You have to play very wise with your life total, and Dark Confidant doesn't allow that.
Quote from Earthbound21 » I will not be replying to rebuttals that are not at least as fleshed out as my assertion. If you're grown up enough to use the internet, you are grown up enough to understand that posturing, nit picking, and corner cases are not enough to constitute a rebuttal to an argument. You will attack my argument in full or you will not be getting a response from me.

I'd love to help! Very glad this is a thing now! Been done the deck for a few feels and loving it! Now to my answers on the quiz: Thanks man. I'd be in touch with you for some sideboard/matchup analysis then. I'll PM you about it as soon as I get around to that part. If anyone else wants to be in on this feel free to

Quote from thewrush »@Spooly I like your deck list and choice of cards. Question: How would you sideboard vs Bant Eldrazi?
Quote from GustavitoHouses »Is Land Destruction really that necessary in this deck? Against Tron it could be, but Eldrazi is usually too fast and Eldrazi Skyspawner ramps them too. Also, the sweeper that seems better is Kozilek's Return since it goes nice on our mana base and it gets Etched Champion+Nexus+Master of Waves if that makes sense. Affinity seems only troublesome if they land Etched Champion and a couple of flyers. Finaly, i agree with the White splash notion. I prefer to combat Souls than play them. They seems to be a little too slow in our deck and milling over Godless Shrine is such a blow out that i rather stay Grixis and jam some Staticasters in the SB. PS: I can help with the primer if help is needed. Just message me or whatever the protocol is. Never done or helped with a primer before.
