Title: Taigam's Scheming: Thoughts?
Post by: Destore117 on October 02, 2014, 03:55:06 PM
{Taigam's Scheming}
So, I use it, and I like it a lot. I see it as essentially a Scry 5 for 2 that can help me put out things like Delve, and mana fixing. And help trim my deck late game when I can't deal with drawing lands.

But I'm sure there's some kind of downside I'm not seeing. Anyone?

What do you all think?

It's ok.  Keep in mind it does not let you draw a card.  If you kept one card then it would be a great card.

I myself like it, i just don't have a deck atm that i would use it for. For a delve deck TS is great, i like it with  {Treasure Cruise}. As you fix your deck and get cards to delve, which makes it cheeper to cast.

A general rule is, "don't play a card that doesn't effect the board-state and doesn't give you card advantage." That being said, this could be borderline playable in Khans because of how slow the format is and how good some of the delve cards are.

{treasure cruise} is one of my favorites to pair it with. Also, a good one. {Hooting Mandrills}

I agree with this here.
