    Don't want to be the guy who posts every random green rare creature but:

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    Yeah so basically
    - Because you can't do the combo if you smog your opp and they don't redirect it back at you, and in plenty of situations you will not have one of the magecraft creatures but still...

    Yes, Brooding Saurian was essentially the best version of this kind of effect I could think of for a BG(x) deck, it's possible that there are others. (Like you could have other options that look...

    Re: [Primer] Nic Fit

    You have therapy in the deck + hardcast smog as mindrot, it seems very easy to play a game where the opp is hellbent or at least you know they don't have interaction.

    Wishclaw seems good as a...

    I think abundant harvest is a better option for xeroxy decks with low landcounts that highly value the option to guaranteed hit their 2nd land drop, but it could be okay here (e.g. instead of some...

    Nicfit SmogClaw

    Ideas:
    1) Therapy + Sedgemoor Witch is a combo like Therapy + YP and you are already playing therapy with veteran explorer
    2) Ersatz Mindrot (smog) in a GB midrange deck doesn't...

    This advice feels like 'put rituals in your jund deck to cast your lilianas faster', like ritual doesn't have much to do in this deck outside of the only 3x Opposition Agent that you are adding which...

    I want to fit one Spellseeker because it lets you turn Neoform into a removal spell by getting Trophy, plus its still pretty solid if you topdeck it because it can find...

    Is the infinite life combo worth having compared to just going BUG and having cleaner mana / fewer bad cards in the deck
    If you Stormcaller -> Neoform then you can just get like Leovold + Uro or...

    Haha I forgot about this
    Im probably about to go 0-3 with Scarab God in my deck and then put it away never to try it again

    I mean this is a nice thought and all but the top-dog of the previous format was already a deck playing 0 basics. If anything I think the situation for Nicfit gets worse because various control decks...

    Every decklist in this CFB article is playing multiple X spells that scale with having access to 5+ mana:
    - Hydroid Krasis
    - Mass Manipulation
    - Finale of Glory

    I'm also skeptical that it's correct to splash only for Rhino but I like the look of the rest of the list.

    I don't think this card is a terrible suggestion.
    I agree it's not necessarily a DRS 'replacement' (not being able to add mana) but it's a deceptively powerful card in its own right, I can see it...

    - How a card fits with the mana curve of every other card in the deck, and consider...
