Title: Need Help...
Post by: IntoFire on May 13, 2013, 07:31:28 AM
I have a standard Dimir deck that runs 4 {Balustrade Spy},I want to swap two for two  {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker}.Should I just swap the whole {Balustrade} set or should I split them by two each?

I've been having the same problem. I already have a Dimir mill deck and I'm trying to get all my Dragon's Maze cards in. {Notion Thief} {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker} {Pilfered Plans} etc.
I would say do the two and two. Balustrade is good but so is Mirko Vosk.

How about swapping two  {Last Thoughts} for two  {Pilfered Plans}?

 {Pilfered Plans} is sweet but honestly i think  {Balustrade Spy} is better than  {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker} its 1 mana less and doesnt have to hit the opponent and its a ETB effect so there is more ways to abuse it

I would do both, swap 2 of each, without seeing the deck the two swaps would offset each other on your mana curve. If you post the deck we could give a more informed answe.

Drop the  {Dinrova Horror} for  {Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker} seems better to keep your mana curve lower

Drop the  {Keymaster Rogue}s for  {Deathcult Rogue}s. have any  {Consuming Aberration}s. They are amazing.

So basically,Deathcult Rouge and Abberation,should I drop the Wight of Precinct Six for  {Consuming Aberration}?

The {Stolen Identity} actually won me a few games,I'd agree with taking out the whispering madness.Not just the {Stolen Identity}(I love that card).

 {Whispering Madness} is awesome with  {Notion Thief}.

I know.I just don't feel like adding a {Notion Theif} since I don't know what to remove.
