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... Think

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.

AND, let’s face it, Green fixes mana bases pretty good, and Zombify AND Vigor Mortis are still around... Wink

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... Think 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.
