But another reason I choose Dismember over push is that it dodges Chalice of the Void on 1 despite having the option to spend 1 mana on it. CotV really destroys this deck, but usually they have to topdeck it in order for it to stick.
Chalice was the main reason I splashed green, when I did actually play the deck. Tarmogoyf + Abrupt decay were completely worth splashing for, IMHO. The Verdant Catacombs turned on revolt, Abrupt Decay dealt with a ton of stuff, Tarmogoyf was able to block (basically the sub for Ensnaring Bridge), and I was able to sideboard some nasty stuff (mostly Back to Nature and Maelstrom Pulse, but Scavenging Ooze was really nice as well.)
