I've done some testing on Vindicates and they're..well, really good. I still doubt they're enough to replace WoG entirely, which is why I added 2 Edicts to the MB. Testing will tell, whether my changes to the officially agreed upon core list marks an improvement or not..
Browsing the webs for inspiration and structuring some brainfarts, I came to the following list:
Uwb Landstill_5.0
4 Standstill
4 STP
4 BS
4 FOW
2 CS
3 Spellsnare.................the CS Snare split seems aight to me.
1 Ponder
3 Vindicate...................multi-purpose thing, pseudo-WoG
2 EE.............................probably should be 3 without WoG?
2 Humility
3 Decree of Justice........considered Elspeth, she needs testing though. Note: Decree enjoys WoG being gone.
1 Crucible
1 Enlightened Tutor........alongside ET#2 (SB) creates a mini toolbox
2 Edict.........................making up for the lack of WoG
(36)
1 Dustbowl
6 Fetch
3 Sea......................I cut the 4th Tundra in favor of the 3rd Sea
1 Scrub
3 Tundra
2 Plains
2 Island
4 Factory
1 Tolaria West
1 Academy Ruins
(24)
SB
4 Mage
1 Halo........................should suffice with 2 ETs
1 Extirpate
2 Relic of Progenitus....I've done little testing with it. Sofar it rocks.
1 Engineered Plague....again. Toolbox.
3 BEB
1 Pithing Needle..........I know. You don't get to see many Needles in LS SBs these days but it's simply one of the best SB cards out there (there are like 100+ good targets) Since I dropped the wish board I have the room to add it as a 1-of.
1 Enlightened Tutor........ Citrus God would agree. hehe.
1 Serenity (?)...............yeah humm. I like it?
Let me know what you think.
