Thief of Sanity

Creature — Specter

Flying

Whenever Thief of Sanity deals combat damage to a player, look at the top 3 cards of that player's library. Exile one of those cards face-down, then put the rest into that player's graveyard. You may look at and cast that card for as long as it remains exiled, and you may spend mana as though it were mana of any colour to cast that spell.

Maybe Primal Amulet  ^Flip would be good for the deck since you've go a bit of a spellslinger build going on.

Then you've got Hostage Taker and Thief of Sanity as creatures who can steal more cards.

I have replaced Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity , which lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.40 to 4.35, which is good, and I also feel that the thief's ability better fits the controlling theme of this deck.

I have replaced Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity , which lowered the average converted mana cost of this deck from 4.89 to 4.84, which is good, because this deck has the highest mana curve of all my decks (due to the presence of Kozilek and Ulamog), and I also feel that the theif's ability better fits the name and theme of this deck.

I'd have to agree with Thief of Sanity to help you in the early game and potentially steal some valuable cards from your opponents.

I'm partial to lower CMC, and a lower curve overall, so Thief of Sanity might win out here. With Wrexial, you're tied to what is already in the graveyard, and unless you run a bit of a mill strategy, it can be hard to really get what you want. I think the Thief might win out here.

DemonDragonJ on Wrexial or Thief of Sanity?

I have Wrexial, the Risen Deep in every EDH deck of mine that contains the colors black and blue, because it is a 5/8 for six mana and has an array of awesome abilities, but it still is very expensive, so I am contemplating replacing it with Thief of Sanity .

The thief has lower power and toughness than does Wrexial, but it also has a much lower mana cost and a far nastier ability, and I also prefer flying over landwalk, even two of them, so I feel that it would be a great replacement for that card.

What does everyone else say about this? Should I replace Wrexial, the Risen Deep with Thief of Sanity ?
