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.)

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."
DemonDragonJ on Warteye Witch or Phyrexian Vivisector?

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.
