Did you mean Cave-In - the pitch Pryoclasm?

No one is ever going to pre-emptively cast an Engineered Plague against you,
I don't think that this will be true all the time. I've seen a few first turn Dark Ritual --> Plague, go.

As an aside, I think Oxidize is better than Shattering Spree in the SB, given the choice, RFGing an Elvish Spirit Guide is better than RFGing a Simian Spirit Guide more often than not.
But unfortunately, you lose the ability to BWish for artifact removal then. However, I could reasonably see playing a mix of Spree and Oxidize in the SB.
