How Can I Put Ertai Resurrected into My Decks?

I plan to put the new Ertai Resurrected into these three decks, since he is very versatile, and those decks support his colors, but I am not certain which cards to remove to make room for him.

I most likely shall have him replace an exisitng counterspell, such as Disallow or Undermine, since he renders such spells redundant.

What does everyone else say about this? How can I put Ertai resurected into my decks?

Hmm, as much as I dislike Smothering Tithe he'd be really good with that : ) But yeah, I think that he seems pretty straight forward. It's kind of one extra mana and opponent draws a card for a body, which can be good for sure. Definitely nice for creatures matters decks and things like that.

I think you have to ask yourself if you are going to be willing to consistently hold up 4 mana for a counterspell/single-target removal? I do like the modality of this card, but I'm not sure I'd cut other removal to add it in.

Everyone here makes excellent points, so I am not certain if Ertai would fit the themes of those three decks, so what about this deck? Since that deck punishes my opponents for drawing cards, I think that he would fit that deck's theme very nicely.

If you want to throw it in there, sure. Again, it doesn't really change the fact that you are either paying 4 mana for a counterspell or a single-target removal spell. If you're paying 4+ mana for removal, that's boardwipe territory. But, if you want to play the card for flavor reasons in a Nekusar deck, go for it.
