I wanted to open a debate on the viability of an alternative cantrip package that can co-exist, rather than be assimilated by, the blue cantrip cartel. This would especially be relevant for combo decks. Is this something that could see play? If so, where? What are the weaknesses compared to going for straight BS/Ponder/Preordain? What are the merits? And can something like this (or another alternative engine) co-exist in legacy?


4x Serum Powder
4x Sphinx of Foresight
4x Faithless Looting


To add to this, here are the probabilities taken from a python script on Bazaar / Serum Powder mulligans:

Pr[Bazaar in opening hand] = 0.941681291934
Pr[Bazaar by turn 1 on draw] = 0.946103359759
Pr[Bazaar by turn 1 on draw with new mulligan rule] = 0.950266092187

This assumes one would mulligan to oblivion to hit Bazaar, which you wouldn't do in let's say Sneak and Show, but it does give some insight into the ridiculous consistency you can achieve with Serum Powder. Also, if you do happen to mulligan and hit a Sphinx, you can dig 4 cards deep, 6 off a turn 1 looting.
