After much debate, I have, indeed, decided to replace Liliana's Caress with Fell Specter, which did raise the average converted mana cost of this deck from 3.44 to 3.56, but I feel that it is worth the additional mana to have additional creatures for attacking and blocking.

MindAblaze, yes, that is true, but it is also equally likely that I shall not drawn Liliana's Caress until after my opponent has few to no cards in hand, meaning that the enchantment shall be completely useless by that time, so at least the specter would provide an additional creature with which to attack and block.

Last_Laugh, I definitely have Pain Magnification in my black/red deck.

Funkydiscogod, yes, Megrim does have more potential for interactions, but it also has a higher mana cost, and this deck does not have much potential to abuse Megrim over Liliana's Caress.

Daveslab2022, here is a link to the deck.

I am considering replacing Liliana's Caress with Fell Specter, because, while the specter does have a higher converted mana cost, it also provides an additional creature and a way to make opponents discard cards. What does everyone else say about that?

I like Megrim more than Liliana's Caress because it deals damage, not loss of life. There are more interactions with damage than life loss; my sister has a black/red/blue discard deck that uses Kederekt Parasite to put counters on a Quest for Pure Flame she would sacrifice in response to Megrim triggers after a Wistful Thinking to hit for 20 damage all at once.

So, what does the rest of the deck look like? That might help the answers.

Icbrgr, this deck used to contain Megrim, until Liliana's Caress was printed, but I chose the newer card for its lower mana cost and the fact that it causes loss of life, rather than dealing damage.

I have a red/black deck whose main theme is forcing my opponents to discard cards, and then further punishing them for doing so. That deck contains two copies of Liliana's Caress, but I am considering replacing that card with Fell Specter. The specter does have a higher converted mana cost, but, for two additional mana, it provides a 1/3 creature with flying that also makes an opponent discard a card (although I personally feel that it could have been a 2/3, given how powerful creatures have become in recent years).

What does everyone else say about this subject? Should I replace Liliana's Caress with Fell Specter?
