If you have to pair it with a Thoughtseize it's not really doubling as a Murderous Cut, is it? And if you mean Liliana then that's negated if they have any other cards in hand. Rite seems completely different to DTT.

I've found the delve cards (Tasi and DTT) unnecessary. Obviously they're powerful, but they don't really bring anything needed to the deck - we have so much CA already. And unlike tempo decks we're not wanting to burn through cantrips and fill the GY, the best Brainstorm is the one not played in Shardless. I'd prefer to have a streamlined deck where I can cast my cards on time.

This is what I have together at the moment. Clique, Hymns and SB K Grip are concessions to Omni.
