Chopping Block —March 2, 2013

Some cards I'm considering putting on the chopping block:

-Viashino Heretic: Too slow sometimes. Rather have something faster.

-Sheoldred, Whispering One: Large mana cost, and low creature count make her second effect less than ideal. Plus she always has a huge target on her for some reason...

-Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir: Another card with a huge target, but does come in handy when trying to go off. Possibly swap for Hex Parasite for more removal.

-Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs: Another seemingly random card, although a red staple.

I'm thinking about shifting more to a heavier, control theme, with plenty of board control. This means more board wipes, Targeted LD, and some hand control as well.

Really nice built, but why not Wasteland over Ghost Quarter and maybe Cunning Wish over Diabolic Tutor . I personally prefer Leyline of Anticipation over Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir . He dies way too often and only helps creatures.

Thanks for the input! The only reason why i'm not running a Wasteland over a Ghost Quarter right now is because I don't have one :P But i like the idea of running it since I'll usually be using it to hit non-basics.

I was actually thinking about using Intuition over Diabolic Tutor , but I have to playtest it more to see if its a good fit. Although using Intuition for a Snapcaster Mage , card:Yawgmoth's Will and a combo piece is pretty much game over haha
