Scroll is cheaper than Jitte-it's a turn 1 "I'll Hymn you and cast Scroll". It's also colorless damage, and doesn't need a creature on the board. By taking out Scroll, you'll let a single white knight kick your ass game one. How chump blocking a Jitte-equipped creature in Legacy is too easy="Block with my Fanatic(or Legionarre)-before damage, I'll sac and hit you." As for Jitte being 'Life, in a pinch', there's Gerrard's Verdict, which is a) A 2 for 1. b) Able to call out land bluffing. c) Allows for self-targeting, enabling life gain in a 'pinch'.

Go ahead and test Jitte. Against everything. Just please, do me a favor, and next post, use capitalization. Once again, this isn't the magic.com's boards, where every deck is made better by "+4 x JITTE cuz it pwnzzz".

Thank you.
