Ok, before you laugh me off these boards, hear me out.  I have been running this boarded in keeper for a little while now, and I really love the way it plays out.  It wrecks vampiric tutor, mystical tutor, enlightened tutor, brainstorm, and a few other random things I've run into.  It draws a card on top of all this, thought it is expensive at 2UU (with wish), it can sometimes swing games.

What do ya think, worth a slot or not?

Next time leave a link of the card info so we don't have to look it up  Wink It seems a little random to me, and with Keeper's tight sideboard I don't see something so narrow becoming a popular card. It's more of an interesting trick if say you went to a small tournament and had room in your sideboard, but otherwise I don't think it's good enough to take up space.

Edit: Was that link to the card there before or after I posted? If it was before, sorry about that  Sad

it's more of a fun, F-U card methinks
could be worth it just to see the look on your opponent's face and the finger he's bound to give you next  :lol:

If Portal became legal there could be a call for the card as a wishable card to stop broken cards from being tutored to the top of your opponents library.   Otherwise it is just another random reactive card.

Its a cool idea and is pretty random but I don't think it is worth a slot.  Good idea against the tutors though.

Better, methinks. Unless 2UU and 3UU is a huge deal.

Pedict looks a lot better and it seems to be a better sideboard choice but that casting cost can sometimes make a big difference.

I would say that predict would be the better choice as it replaces itself or gets +1 card advantage in some cases.

Why waste a board card in an obsolete deck for something useless?
