Has anyone been testing Spellseeker?

I mean they’re the same mana cost but they’re situationally different. If you have a creature in hand already, then yes Show and Tell. Show and Tell plays a similar role to Careful Study in terms of the slot it occupies.
But if you had one of Entomb, Reanimate, Exhume or Animate Dead in your hand with no creature then Spell Seeker is going to be preferable to find your other half. Could also have utility to find discard if you know they have an answer, or even an Abrupt Decay to handle DRS.
It may be too slow. I am going to try it sometime in the next few weeks in a slower build methinks. And even then, if it does prove useful, would something like Intuition be better?
Well, our grixis delver matchup is now significantly better. DRS got the axe.
I know the news are fresh but i would strongly advice you people to not take needles out of the sideboard and prepare for a much wider graveyard hate now.
The grave hate has to increase now. 2 Surgical Extraction and 4 Shaman main was pretty common for most of the decks. Probably 3 Surgical from now + extra cards are necessary.

Summer Christmas has arrived at last
Do we have a discord channel? We might need quick discussions to adjust our lists for the fast changing metagame.
Here's the current Reanimator discord (both UB & BR)
https://discord.gg/2SWQzn2
Here's what Bob Huang had to say in relation to a question about BR vs UB: "No clue... blue has the better sideboard plan I think. I would honestly try a blue version with Chancellors"
I think blue with Chancellors sounds amazing, actually. Has anyone ever tried it before?
Chancellor usually is only useful specifically on turn 1. While our turn one rate is not awful (one in maybe ten games in my experience), we’re more often going off on turn two or three with backup perhaps after a cantrip. As a result, Chancellor tends to be underwhelming for us, and I suspect this will be especially true in a world where we don’t get an advantage out of delaying DRS for a turn. BR is going off turn one 3-4 Games out of ten, so Chancellor is more useful to them. Another bad thing about Chancellor is that before the game starts it screams “Hey! I’m on Reanimator! Leave that land untapped for countermagic!” Which keeps us from doing a Miracles or Delver impression for a couple of turns.
I can only assume this comment from Bob Huong is indicative of a lack of understanding of the archetype on his part, which is odd because it’s a pretty common opinion that Chancellor in UB isn’t great. There are a few other claims in that article that were questionable as well imo but time will tell I suppose.
Also now that Shaman isn't around no mana acceleration lists might become even stronger, as now you can sculpt a hand without that f**king dude hosing you for free.
I run UB reanimator and sometimes Grixis. I've been playing Chancellor of the Annex for years to good success. I'm pretty sure we want some number of them in the deck, but I'm almost positive we don't want a full playset since they are so bad for us to draw in multiples. Bob Huang is right about Chancellor (in fact I beat him playing Delver in like round 11 of an SCG a few years ago, and was likely because Chancellors make the Delver matchups great) in UBx being the way to go.
Legacy - all flavors of Delver, UB Shadow, Eldrazi Stompy, UBx Reanimator, some UBx midrange piles
Modern - Prowess, Traverse Shadow

What situations do you find Chancellor being most useful? What do you cut from standard builds to run it?
In a deck that can struggle with blue count, I'm not sure what the point of running Chancellor is. Daze is a better card when it comes to playing two decks and increasing similarity to Delver decks (which allows you to more effectively imitate in games where you've stolen a Delver or YP). There is also a significant difference between fast mana between UBx and B/R; I'm not sure how Chancellor is supposed to perform well in UBx.
