I main a 3/3 split of Plow and Edict. It means I don't autolose game 1 to NOPro or SnT. I'm not fast enough to beat people to death before they get a chance to topdeck outs. Of course, I also main Extirpate which means sometimes I don't *want* to RFG something. Or rather, I do, but I want to make sure it never gets played again. Like "eff you, only *I* get to play with KotR this game. And sometimes, since I'm a balls slow control deck, I don't want to get hosed by things like Gigapede, Progenitus and Emrakul. Boarding in 4 PtE's every match seems like a ridiculous soak of sideboard space. Fish can and sometimes still does have Kira in board and then you're screwed. I dunno, there are times when Edict is slightly subpar, but there are also times when it's the dead nuts and your only out. I imagine there are times when I'd want Watchwolf over Pridemage but not enough to ever justify it. Path works poorly with Waste/vindicate.
