Street wraith also alows some lines that are very good vs countermagic. Ultimately it is preference, but I urge players to try running both variants to see their strengths and weaknesses. Might be the reason I also noticed Orim running the full set of Cephalid Coliseums which again side step countermagic (still doesn't help us cast Therapy, PImp, or Faithless though xD)Īll that being said cutting back on Studies will mean that a FOW on a Turn 1 PImp will actually hurt quite a lot unless your opener has additional form of discard either LED or Faithless, the weaker Cabal Therapy targeting yourself or even Breakthrough if desperate. I can see playing out a turn 1 PImp and being set in the face of a Turn 1 Chalice on 1 assuming we were on the play whereas turn 1 Careful Study binning two dredgers may not be enough after you're locked out of playing anymore spells past turn 1.Īlso we can still bring in the Spell Pierce/Flusterstorm idea here too again as running more Wraiths over Studies means we aren't using the stack giving us the ability to churn through our deck while the opponent sits idle with soft countermagic. There is worth noting that having Wraith lessens your reliance of actually having to cast spells and with lots of Chalice decks running around it would makes sense to have less spells to get neutered. Wraith makes the most sense in the current meta and Careful Study is subjectively the weakest card in the deck. At the moment it seems to just be a matter of deck space. One is a redraw that allows you to circumvent countermagic while feeding Ichorid and providing some protection against DRS/Surgical (Ichorids and Narcos are still susceptible along with Cabal Therapies/Dread Return and Bridge from Below in the case of Surgical) while the other allows you to Draw(Dredge) while providing a discard outlet at the same time something that Wraith doesn't do. Careful Study rather than Street Wraith Vs.
