Specters/ Removal Package —Dec. 15, 2013

I've done some shifting around of the deck as far as removal and creatures go. I'm finding that Pack Rat just isn't doing what I would like it to, and turns my deck into something I don't enjoy playing (ie. turn two Rat, turns 3-X discard to make more Rats until I swing for lethal). I'm experimenting with Nightveil Specter at the moment and it's done wonders thus far. The only issue I could see myself running into with it is having too many basic Forests on the board and be unable to play one turn three, so I May be doing some mana tweaking in the future, and will definitely be changing things around once the BG scry land is released.

Also, I'm having an itching for this deck to go BUG, which would give me access to Jace, Architect of Thought, AEtherling, and a handful of counterspells, so we'll see how that pans out

Having merchant in the sideboard makes absolutely zero sense especially since you're running a lot of bad cards that are only played in mono black for their devotion

Yeah, you're probably right. On second though, My initial thought of Devotion with a green splash would probably run a lot better. I'll update the list to reflect what I'll be playing tonight
