That would work if I could actually top deck it. Unfortunately that doesn't happen.

I prefer {Terminus}. {Azorius Charm}, {Thought Scour} and {Think Twice} can all find one on their turn. {Merciless Eviction} is worse in the mirror because it costs 6. Leaves you with practically nothing open for the rest of your turn, and is just as susceptible to a {Dissipate}.

Happens all the time with my bant control.  Think twice wins.  I run 7 board wipes main and I have no problem with Aggro decks.  My whole meta runs Aggro.  I'm telling you terminus is awesome.  How many enchantments/plains walkers people use to really make merciless useful?    If you don't have detention spheres and o rings to get rid of plains walkers then you aren't running a control deck.  Lol

I think terminus is better if you can top deck it. Merciless eviction is good against zombies and decks that utilize undying. It is also very effective against reanimator and other control decks.

Terminus stops undying as well...;) the whole point is that eviction is six drop that u have no option to cast earlier... Terminus in right assembled deck is almost always played for miracle...

Any agrro will flush u until fifth turn... Good agrro will survive even one verdict...;) and naya agrro have no problem with verdicts and will kill u before ur 6 mana drop...;)

It's all opinion based i like them both an the eviction has worked well so I will side the two terminus.

Haven't tried. I haven't come across any standard goblin decks but since most goblin decks run mono colored creatures. Theoretically it could beat it. Just depends on there decklist

It has play tested well but this Friday I'll see if it works or if I just side for terminus each round.

Agree with u...;) u should use the model that takes advantage of ur meta...;)

We can advise milion things but in the real game it can work totaly different...;) the best playtesting is FNM...;)
