Does anyone play this card?  Seems like it would be a good counter and would help disrupt your opponents scrye.

Surely if your playing the colors! Dissolve is favored for your own scry. But in some decks strike is a more reliable turn three cast dependent on how deep you black splash is.

I run it in my BUG Walker deck. It's there so their Scry is worthless if they kept I on top. I also run {Ashiok Nightmare Weaver} and a {Jace memory Adept} which also mess with scry

Yeah, I thought about it, but didn't want to do a mill deck.  But I thought it woukd help disrupt their draws.

Yeah mill isn't a great way to win, but coupled with Draw or something can be brutal. For example, one game my {Jace Menory Adept} milled 4 cards from the top while I drew, they were in this order

{Elspeth Suns Champion}
{Dreadbore} x2
{Hero's Downfall}

It was crazy. He protected himself and killed an Elspeth, while drawing me 4 cards (and ulting to grab another 20).


As for {Psychic Strike}, I've seen it mill kill spells, much needed land, and multiple walkers. It's great that Scry is so awful with it, which is why I run a few :p
