It's felt great! I was always sad to topdeck my first chancellor on t1's draw, but am never sad to see a thoughtseize.
Tested vs bant aggro yesterday. He sided 14 cards against me via the shuffle...

After cutting Chancellor, I'm up to 11 discard in the main (since discard is a bit more flexible disruption source than chancellor; if i don't have it T0 and then draw it, that's a punch in the gut)...

Update on Redfin (list upways a bit): the deck folds pretty hard to miracles, of course. 2x Sneak Attack in the board were worthless in testing; too expensive and we don't have the right mass of...

it's mana-neutral, though. sounds pretty durdly.

Be aware that if the imprinted card on a Chrome Mox is removed from exile, it's no longer imprinted. One strike against PfE that I saw misinterpreted in some earlier pages of this thread.

How bad is prelate on 2? Seems pretty oppressive. Do we just hope to outrace?

I feel like Gamble is in the slot of Lim Dul's Vault: it might get you what you need or it might screw you over. LDV is a bit better, but it's also double the mana cost so it feels like a wash.

a reanimation spell with another black source
gamble or faithless looting post-Grisby (or even pre-)
instant mana source that...

Question about the man plan... How does it race combo? My impression is that vs combo, you just have to side in a little reactive hate and race. Is that fair?

So, I did some testing with "Redfin", a hybrid of Tin Fins and BR Reanimator. List below, but it basically uses the BR shell, swaps a little discard for some tutoring, and changes out the BR...

Well, right... the question is, how often is that "more than one", in your, and others', experience? And it can be paid for the turn before, just like Serenity, but with a little more agility.

Question about Serenity... I'm more of an armchair player but I'm wondering how many threats we want to serenity at once, on average? I ask because, in a B/r build, I wonder if Wear and Tear might be...
