Once again my inferior deck skills caused me to swallow a little vomit that came up in my mouth. I still, however, am very fond of Might of Oaks dispite it’s unpopularity. I do like the Giant Solifuge, and will most likley add it to the deck/sideboard.
Here’s another idea then: Remand.
Or will that disrupt my creature drops too much? |

Actually, Remand is a GREAT card! It slows down your opponent for a turn, AND fetches a card! It’s cool, but I would think abou it, if I were to add only Remand, not a single Mana Leak or Rune Snag...  |

| Remand would work, but I would prefer voidslime to keep any wraths out of the way. |

One of the preview cards for time spiral seems to match a replacement for the ninja:
Looter il-Kor 1U
Creature-Kor Rouge 1/1
Shadow
Whenever Looter il-Kor deals damage to an opponent, draw a card, then discard a card.
The shadow ability is very nice, and makes up for the discarding drawback. I’m planning on putting him in. |

| He is the ninja of the deep hours replcaement. As for the discarding, it doesn’t have to be a drawback if time spiral gives you a decent number of cards with madness. |

| Yeah, I more like the madness thing, but reanimation, too. If you reanimate with it, it’s still no card advantage, only quality advantage. If you madness, you have raw advantage. |

| Hum... I don’t see it that way. You draw a card, and reanimate the card you discarded (it doesn’t have to be the same one). But yes, if you draw what you want reanimated, it’s not a lot of card advantage, but it IS in a sense that you’d normally draw that card the next turn, only, AND you’d have to create a way of discarding it... But OF COURSE Madness is much cooler with discarding, the Looter was probably designed to be used with madness anyway. |

| yup. Also, I find compulsive research a much more reliable discarding outlet for reanimation. |

| Yeah, but Looter would be neat replacing Sift, it just costs too much! And, well, you throw some Unholy Strength on him and he’s an annoyin’ fella’... Although I’ve seen a preview Instant-speed card-drawer/discarder that’s cool, too. |
