Wear/Tear or Duergar Hedge-Mage?
Deck Help forum
Posted on May 26, 2020, 12:24 p.m. by DemonDragonJ
In my red/white deck, I have two copies of Wear / Tear, but I am contemplating replacing them with Duergar Hedge-Mage; both cards have the same mana cost, and the former is an instant, but the latter provides a creature, so it is a difficult decision to make.
What does everyone else say about this issue? Which card is better for my deck?

jaymc1130, in that case, I shall need to use the deck a number of times, to determine how important it is for me to be able to destroy artifacts and enchantments during other players' turns.

The choice really comes down to how quickly you regularly need to cast such an effect and whether or not doing it at instant speed is of vital importance.
If you need to be casting this type of effect on turn 2 for certain, or on opposing end steps, then Wear//Tear is going to be the better option. If the meta you're playing in doesn't really operate that fast and you can afford a slower option that provides more value then the Mage could be a fine choice.
