Draw spell help for EDH
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 30, 2014, 3:34 p.m. by Nickyorany
So I picked up a Fact or Fiction for my EDH deck. I need some help at figuring out the worth of some draw spells I have over other ones to warrant taking some out. I don't want to have any draw spells recommended for me I only want to work with what I have right now. This is a Sharuum the Hegemon EDH deck so cards like Thirst for knowledge and Fact or Fiction are great cards for the graveyard dumping.
So my choices to remove for a Fact or Fiction are:
What cards are more worthwhile to run than others. What benefits can I see from keeping some of these cards over others?
Oh, I didn't read that carefully. Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm biased towards draw power, and I feel Read the Bones is the weakest of the bunch.

To be perfectly frank, none of the cards you listed are particularly powerful in EDH. You could easily replace any of them with better draw power.

I'm working up towards more powerful spells, but this is what I have right now. Thirst for Knowledge and Fact or Fiction are cards that are useful for what I need. I know all about more powerful spells that I need, I'm only working with what I have at the moment. That's the only reason why I'm saying I don't really need suggestions.

I agree about dropping Read the Bones . Of the cards listed it is the weakest simply because of the CMC. The one drops are better. Fact or Fiction is way better because it's instant speed so the one extra mana is no big deal

Epochalyptik has an extensive list of EDH cards here, one is a budget version where most only run up to around $5-6.
