It's going to be a lot more efficient to have all of these in one place so that Gearhart doesn't have to go through the entire site yelling at people for playing the card. Later, I might go through and move some posts into here to kick off some discussion.

That's Extirpate for you folks. Fucking awful.

Anyway, congratulations on the Top 8.

Out of curiosity, have you tested other Survival builds and then just settled on Di's?

I think Dave Price's Survival list is pretty good, and I like certain aspects of it quite a bit more than in Di's list. Have you tested both?

  • If you have a deck that could lose because you needed extirpate to be a removal spell then extirpate should not be in your deck.
  • If you have a deck that is fast or has some tempo in it than you cannot take advantage enough of extirpate's long term effect and the card is not for your deck.

It does not fit in every deck. Test it in a deck it does fit in like Landstill or The Rock.

I don't even think it's good in a deck where you want to get long term advantage out of it. I think too often the card disadvantage of it makes you lose out in the short, and games where you expect to win in the long run, don't even get that far cause you wasted time and cards extirpating when you could have been effecting the board state.
