both cards are awesome, but i play vindicates over pulse, since i am allready playing some fleshbag marauders(maybe replaced by diabolic edict not sure yet) main, and since i am just playing one wasteland as part of my landtoolbox, it comes handy to be able to destroy some bothering lands

and i do not think we should rethink our naming, we are still the midrange boardcontrol-beatdown deck we used to be, and i do not think deranget hermit has anything to do with this :P


@ spikeymikey:

i now see why in your build extirpates are good, but your build is tuned in that direction as well, mine is more manadependant

with 4 wastelands, and vindicates, plus discard, extirpates becomes really strong, but still to situational, and the manabase forces you to go lower in range of CB

with only 1 wasteland and vindicates mainly for card for all purposes and not landdestruction, extirpates are not so strong, since i do not really try to screw my opponent, plus with my manabase it is easier to support more 3cc spells, specially colordependant ones

but i like your idea of 3/3 split between swords and edicts, maybe i will try that out too
