I see a lot of Esper decks running {Forbidden Alchemy}, but I wonder why. I see that it reaches deep, pretty cheap, instant speed. But it yields 1 card, and causes you to discard 3. In a deck that is light on creatures, don't you worry about dumping something important, or are you using it to dig for {Snapcaster Mage} to reuse it?

If that's the case, why not run more Snapcasters, or more spells with flashback (besides {Lingering Souls} and {Feeling of Dread})

Also, {Nevermore} in the sideboard to stop {Rest in Peace}, {Nevermore}, {Rakdos Return}, {Supreme Verdict}, and {Ash Zealot}

{Nephalia Drownyard} is beast too. It's great to pop when you use {Azorius Charm} or to try to kick {Tragtusk}. Probably do 1 {Moorland Haunt} and 1 {Nephalia Drownyard}. I'd even sideboard more, card does work.

Ya I'm going to replace a {Moorland Haunt} for Drownyard, cause I don't want to find a spot for {Thought Scour}, nice lil combo.
