In fact, if my enemies ran more Land Destruction than the usual Wasteland setups, I'd probably consider ditching Mishra's and going the Chimeric Idol route. I almost miss that thing since it's far easier to disrupt and attack with Idol than Mishra's which eats up two mana to attack. However, the 24 mana base gives me a solid growth of lands. I will play to 6 lands, but I only have space for 1 Big Pox and 3 Prison cells: Night of Soul's Betrayal, Engineered Plague (totally worth 1 maindeck), and Trinisphere.

I thought everyone forgot about Chimeric Idol, I miss the thing too! However, I think Cursed Scroll is too good of a card to have in MD and it doesn't interact well with the Idol :-(
