Decklist have no love for snappy? Or is it your wallet that has no love for snappy?

[Anoobass]

A little of both, proxied him for a little (because omg that's expensive as f...)  it's nice and all, but in the end ur paying 4 mana for mill 10 (hopefully) and all u get is a cheap blocker.  There's no shenanigans either because mill is sorcery speed so it's not like u can even use his flash.  And since I run phantasm, I don't really need the blocker so all in all, it's not worth running.  But in my original list he was there.

That makes sense. Although, if you flashed an archive trap, could you play the trap cost?

[Anoobass]

Yes u could, but then there is another problem, what to take out for 4 snaps?

[Splicer]

I don't know, for the reasons you stated you might not need him.

Snapcaster checks the CMC, a Snappied Archive is ALWAYS 5. BTW, he's insane in here. Being able to run 8 Paths is pretty sick.

After checking the rules, this is correct, no 0 cost flashback. 8 paths is nice, however, engineered explosives also helps with destruction should I need it.  I only run 10 non land permanents

My deck is roughly 65/75 as compared to yours. I once had ashiok but realised that for 3 mana i would rather just mill them out for another 8-10 cards. Is that why you dont play it?

The main difference in my list to yours is that i run a bit of disruption as well, as well as a very light counter suite (that im still not quite sold on.) I also have 22 lands. But im running 2 x ghost quarter main board, as that helps fuel archive trap, and if they are refusing to search their library i just nuke my own land when i have a couple of crabs out.

As to the ashiok, I played him when {heroes downfall} had its run and realized I was spending 3 mana to mill 3, so I traded him out for the funeral, I should try him back in again to see how he works, as he also takes a target off my back for a short amount of time.  I'll get back to u on that.
