I have replaced Mortality Spear with Drag to the Roots, since this deck has no way to gain life, apart from Ravenous Squirrel, but does actively encourage me to put cards into my own graveyard, so it should be easy to cast the latter card for its reduced cost.

I also am contemplating replacing Temple Bell with Folio of Fancies, as the latter card, there, would work very well, with this deck, so I shall ask everyone else here how they feel, about that.

DemonDragonJ on Mortality Spear or Drag to …

I have a copy of Mortality Spear in four different EDH decks of mine, but I am wondering if I should replace those copies with Drag to the Roots from Duskmourn.

I am confident that my Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Teneb, the Harvester decks have a sufficient focus on gaining life that I shall be able to reliably cast Mortality Spear for its reduced cost; The Mimeoplasm deck has no way to gain life outside of Ravenous Squirrel, but does actively encourage me to put cards into my own graveyard, so I should be able to reliably cast Drag to the Roots for its reduced cost, in that deck, so I shall replace Mortality Spear with it; the only deck about which I am uncertain is my Kresh the Bloodbraided deck, since that deck neither has sufficient ways to gain life nor actively encourages me to put cards into my own graveyard, so either card would be equally valid in this deck, in my mind.

What does everyone else say abut this? Should I keep Mortality Spear in my Kresh deck, or replace it with Drag to the Roots?
