how good is Dimir Charm in modern, i find it quite versatile.

When I had Delver of Secrets  ^Flip in here this past Thursday, I was able to hit myself to flip him, I used it so throw a Urza's Mine into the GY then Surgical Extraction ed it, destroyed a Lord of Atlantis before another lord came out, and word on the street is that it puts 2 +1/+1 counters on Quirion Dryad . It might come out eventually or be one of the first things I side out, but it was pretty dandy when I had it.

also, Spell Snare can hit a ton of cards that are relavent in modern, would you add that.

Silly me I knew my deck list looked funny, I have 3x Spell Snare s that are in here -_-

What would you think of have 2x Cryptic Command s in the deck or SB?

i'm pretty sure that you could drop 1 Rune Snag and Spell Snare for 2 in the mainboard, and add 2 for Extirpate in the sideboard.

Well I only have 2 from way back when I pulled them, maybe I could grab some in the future, but I've been thinking on switching out Rune Snag for Mana Leak since I have the Snapcasters now. So maybe I'd do

• 2x Rune Snag --> 2x Cryptic Command
• 2x Rune Snag --> 2x Mana Leak

Thoughts?

since i'm not a personal fan of Rune Snag , dropping them sounds good to me. alo, why the Thought Scour ] wouldn't Serum Visions be better.

I had them in, because currently I switch this deck between Standard and Modern. The mill 2 is meh, but mostly it's a 1 mana cantrip. I haven't maximized the power of this yet, since It just came together, and I'm a poor college student on a budget :(. The Serum Visions can wait while I acquire more important pieces first, though yeah they're better.

I like the deck a lot!

Couple of things.

If you can afford it, Dark Confidant is great because a deck like this, wants card advantage. If not, Phyrexian Arena .

Remand generates tempo and is basically time walking them ost of the time.

Shadow of Doubt in the side is evil as it becomes a Sinkhole versus fetches, that cantrips, and buffs up Dryad by +2/+2. It also stops tutoring.

@ LeaPlath Maybe Bob could join the club one day if I get that far competitively, but I'll probably try out the spoiled http://static.tappedout.net/concept-cards/dgmsziggas-blood-scrivener_medium.pngBlood Scrivener in his place.

Remand is great, I just don't have the resources to acquire 4 yet.

Lastly, Shadow of Doubt is really intriguing in the side, maybe take out 2x Extirpate and 1x Duress for 3x Shadow of Doubt ? Or is 2 usually enough?

i think that 2 would be good enough.

Of course, fetches would help this a lot. And filter lands. Plus help deathrite shaman ramp even more.

I agree with the fetchlands, though they are expensive

If you can afford her, Lili could be quite useful.

Also, man lands. Treetop Village and Creeping Tar Pit . Darkslick Shores and maybe less counter spells? Sideboard or drop Cryptic so you are only running Remand and maybe drop mana leak too for a more tempo type of build?

Lots of good stuff on these lists.http://www.mtgdecks.net/decks/viewByArchetype/1253

It says control, but they are all more tempo.

Fetchlands would be great and eventually I want to add 4x Misty Rainforest . Adjusting it just now I have a Creeping Tar Pit and Darkslick Shores that I'll sub in for some basics.

Didn't realize I had so many counters in here lol, I'll remove the Remand s since I don't actually have them yet.

I was thinking on Liliana of the Veil , but when she jumped it price that put her out of my range for now.

• Remand --> Hate Weaver until Blood Scrivener is in the data base

I would personally play Remand over Mana Leak and Cryptic Command . It is tempo and more easily flashed back, and scales better to late game.

I currently own the Mana Leak s and Cryptic Command s. Though I agree with you, so I will switch them out ASAP. What do you think of Isochron Scepter in here?

i think that Isochron Scepter would be brutal in here.

Not a fan of Scepter without Silence or Helix really. Silence is brutal to time walk them and Helix is just good value burn.

Also, a few more cards to consider Countersquall , Darkblast , Voidslime , Squelch

Countersquall is not too bad versus a combo deck you have to race.

Darkblast is repeatable removal that lets you dredge as well, if you want to snapcaster.

Voidslime is a bit of an out there card, but it can do a fair bit in the sideboard versus combo decks. For example, you can counter the cascade or storm triggers.

Squelch is also another 1U wasteland a fetch land and cantrip card, but has more utility at times.

I was thinking the same thing regarding the scepter, since Abrupt Decay and Remand would be the only things I'd want to put under it.

I have also been pondering on Voidslime , in the SB, for that very reason. Maybe remove 1x Duress and 1x Maelstrom Pulse for 2x Voidslime ?

I decided to look up the decks you posted, and besides Goyf, Bob, Snap, and Clique, all their instants and sorceries seem to be either 1,2, or 3 of's. Rarely do they play 4. Why would they do that? Isn't consistency a big deal?

When you have so much value at 1-3. Why go higher?

Bob is an issue as you want to play him 2 turn, ideally and swamp them in card advantage, while you beat down with delver, clique, goyf, etc. You can also run slightly less lands (22-23) instead of 24-25 lands.

You are also then able to cast every turn.

Touche, and I'm thinking more about Darkblast and how it interacts with Blood Scrivener.

Say I have no cards in hand, Blood Scrivener on the field, and draw.

I draw the first card, triggering Blood Scrivener to draw 2 and lose a life.

Then with the second card would I be able to replace the draw with dredge?

As I type this I really would like to know the answer, so I'll post in the Q&A too.

The answer was yes, so I think for some diversity I'll take out 1x Quirion Dryad and 1x Vapor Snag and put in 2x Darkblast
