Ghave - Sylvan Library or Sensei's Top?

Deck Help forum

Which would be better in my Ghave Ghiveth deck? I like that Sylvan Library just happens, I don't have to leave 1 mana open to activate it, and I have the option of keeping all the cards at the expense of my life if I need. So at the least I get a Sensei's Divining Top effect and at the most I get to draw up to three. However with the top, if there is a removal spell or some sort of a wipe of artifacts, I can save it by drawing my top card and putting it on top of my library, which I can't do if the library was about to be destroyed.

What have you all found to be the better of the two? Currently my Ghave deck has Top, but since I do own a Library, the thought has entered my mind to switch the two.

I'm pretty sure that the answer is yes. Or rather, why not both?

Why not play both? I use both. Of course, my deck requires me to stack my library, so yeah, there's that.

True I could use both. There is so much I like in there though it is hard to remove something else lol.

The correct answer is yes.

As for what to cut, Return to Dust isn't great.

You should be running both whenever possible.

Short answer; Indeed.

Slightly less short answer; Of the 2, I like top better. If you HAD to pick between the 2 for budget reasons, I would go with top for sure.

I definitely would say both.

@HorrorAvengers

He mentioned he is already using Top and owns a Library. He should be GTG on this one. :P

The answer is actually both.

Looks like I will be trying to find room for Library then and running both. Thank you all!! :)
