Phyrexian Vivisector
Creature — Phyrexian Human
Whenever a creature you control dies, scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.)

TypicalTimmy I don't disagree, but looking at a selection of Standard common 2/2 2-drops, Alabaster Host Sanctifier, Goblin Picker, Snooping Newsie, Phyrexian Vivisector, Sporeback Wolf all have simple, easily tracked effects (once you learn the vocabulary) without being pure vanilla.
So right now, P/T average has to be above mana value for vanillas to compete. Green takes over the upper end of the creature mana curve at common, and 5-mana 4/4s appear to be the upper end of full color access without drawbacks. So, given that green and red are going to have bigger creatures than white and blue, what's the best P/T-mana ratio for a vanilla creature to compete with other common creatures? Should there be a vanilla 5/5 for at uncommon? Or more likely for the color, a 6/3, fully obsoleting Raging Poltergeist and Scoria Elemental?

I have replaced Warteye Witch with Phyrexian Vivisector, which decreased this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.18 to 3.17, which is very nice.

bushido_man96, I do, indeed, have Viscera Seer in that deck.
Also, no one has yet answered my next question: does Phyrexian Vivisector's ability trigger from its own death? Its ability does not say "another creature."

I just put a copy of Warteye Witch into my Meren of Clan Nel Toth EDH deck, but another user informed me of Phyrexian Vivisector, so I now am not certain if I should replace the former card with the latter card, or not. The vivisector has lower power and does not trigger from its own death, but it also is less expensive to cast, which can make a major difference in certain situations.
What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Warteye Witch with Phyrexian Vivisector?
EDIT: I just re-read Phyrexian Vivisector, and it does not specify another creature, so it seems that it does trigger from its own death; will anyone please clarify that matter, for me?

If you want to exchange Crystal Ball, take Phyrexian Vivisector over Witch.
