I agree with siding out the breakthrough against GY hate. For the same reason would you ever look at siding out firestorm? I would think not because you can pick to old discard a card or two and against decks that its relevant it seems to be pretty relevant.

What about Surgical Extraction? Is my best bet really to ditch Macabre in hope of only giving my opponent a 2 for 1?
Surgical extraction is usually like extirpate:you dont care unless he hast more of them. 1 extraction does nothing. If you can,leaving open coliseum +mana helps if they try to hit dredgers.
Also, I really would not side out all breakthroughs. After you found a solution to their hate it is much easier to get back in the game with, exspecially if you were slowdredging.
