How did you feel playing dark confidant. He seems like one of those cards you just don't think about cutting but the more I test the deck I notice he is usually a mid to late game play and I still have cards in hand when he comes down. In matches versus blue decks if he doesn't come down turn 1 off a black lotus for duress/dark confidant play he usually sits in hand til the game is over or I just don't happen to have anything else to do. With so many tricks this deck runs such as aven mindcensor, hide/seek, pyro/reb's, and creature removal spells all being instant I'd rather sit back on my mana and make plays on opponents turn/ EOT. Basically I don't know if good ol bob should be sideboard for midgame control decks and also another creature to bring in vs random aggro decks just to replace other dead cards.
I liked Bob every time he was in play. In the limited amount of testing I did before hand, the tournament, and the slightly less limited testing afterwards, the worst Bob ever did was get me through a bad section of the deck with no mana. There are times where he kind of sits around against Fishy-style decks, but at the same time, he trades with a lot of opposing guys and digs for kill spells or grunts/fliers (and lavamancers post-board) so I'm not really upset about seeing him against Fish.
