Yes. I understand. I've also been playing the deck with 6-7 years at this point. I understand that other colors provide other things. I played way before we had recruiter or any of this fancy stuff.....

I intend to attack their faces with said tempii? All I need is for my opponents to not resulve deluge or get punishing fire online, and that usually is enough time for me to kill them.
Here's a list I will be running this weekend. I really hate recruiter of the guard. I hate drawing it. I Hate it in my opening hand. I hate that it's 3 mana. I Hate that it's slow. I hate casting...
I think Body and Mind > Sword of Fire and Ice for now. Shardless Bug and Miracles really can't beat it.
What is blessed alliance doing in your sideboard?!
Wait, it's just strictly better celestial flare. Makes sense
It's not like our deck is suddenly completely reliant on recruiter to do anything. Displacer is a fine card to draw by itself.
revoker should never go below 3 IMO. The card is one of our best turn 2's. Same with thalia. Remember, if we get behind early we usually stay behind.
Also if we're running recruiter we should...
I think thalia and sfm should stay at 4. Both are too good to not drop on turn 2
Specifically the uber-fun spell queller splash.
Man this card basically makes the blue splash not worth it :( (due to the increased mirror presence)
DAE Recruiter of the Guard?
The whole point of that blue has the most effective lock protection and the most ways to generate tempo on turn 2 compared to the other splashes. You don't need CA if you're 2-3 turns ahead
Queller is really good when the lock is down regardless of vial's ticks. I got to exile my opponent's toxic deluge for 4 life which was pretty sweet. I also got to exile a snapcaster mage which was...
Me and a local player have been testing Dnt splash blue for spell queller. I think it's very good, but the manabase is a bit fragile so your sequencing has to be perfect. His list features 3 eldrazi...
Revoker is the 2nd best card in this deck. His deeds are unpraised, his song often goes unsung.
I think warping wail's primary purpose will be similar to that of Red Elemental blast. Something to bring in against shardless (to counterr visions) to protect crusader and to bring in against storm...
I haven't had the opportunity to test wail. This being said I am very hyped to try it. It's 1-2 of in the 75 by just looking at it. I like having a mix of permanent and spell-based answers to decks,...
TNN significantly sped up the format. Instead of having goyf-stalled boards, we have true name nemesis killing people. It is a guaranteed 3 damage a turn. Infact, TNN is the reason you see less DRS...
Barry is completely right about maindeckable cards that are almost-always sided out.
I almost always side out my swords to plowshares against combo. Card is clearly not playable in maindeck...
I don't think spellskite belongs in the aggro list. It belongs more in the midgame stax-like lists.
I've seen modern builds run this. I mean. If you're running the aggro version, you probably don't want [card]spellskite[/card[
The weekly update:
Spellskite is now the flavor of the month for the maindeck. I suggest everyone test it out, it's pretty decent.
I think enevoldsen is wrong on that end. Just doesn't make sense why you would want eiganjo? Wayyy too narrow to be any good.
I'm not Cairo, but when I played it, he card did absolutely nothing. Better to run a plains or a flagstones of trokair
from cairo has this shizzz covered. Against jund I usually pull 2 thalia. Seems reasonable IMO. Though, I guess I can see keeping her in.
