I am sure the answer is somewhere out there, but wasn't able to find it, so hopefully some kind ashen one might explain to a poor soul why
Sylvan Scrying is played over
Living Wish?
Both are 2cmc sorceries. I don't see any real upside of SyScry, besides a free shuffle and more room in the Sideboard. The former is nice, sure, but the latter becomes somewhat relative, since Living Wish grants access to a virtual
n-of-toolbox of redundant combo pieces and (nowadays pretty potent) silverbullets.
Didn't call the department of redundancy department, so just guessing, but 3 Depths, 3 Stages, 3 Hexmage, 4 Living Wish and 1 copy of each combo piece in the SB alltogether add up to redonkulous amounts of virtual cards in my crazy coconut head. What am I missing? I see, this is slower than just playing 4-ofs main, but on the other hand there's more room for disruption/mana sources/fun-ofs/whatever. Situational stuff like Bog, Karakas or Tabernacle are still available G1 - for the demonic price of not being cräp rotationable until you board them in for G2 though.
Please educate me before I de-educate you! :tongue:
