"Where a lesser mind sees junk, I see infinite potential" - Daretti

Thank's for reading and exploring. Upvoting is appreciated.

Why is Daretti the best commander ever?

1. He has a straight forward strategy, very beginner friendly and the "Built from Scratch" precon of 2014 was actually the one that got me into playing MTG.
2. Despite being mono-red you can pull off big plays outside the color pie. (extra turns, whipe the board each turn, create a bizzillion tokens, ...)
3. You can easily win out of nowhere, within a single turn.
4. You can choose between aggro, control, stax or pillowfort like playstyles and even combine them.
5. Lots of flavor from goblin artificers to the Mycosynth and myrs related to Phyrexia and Myrrodin.

"All the junk, refuse, and offal of the Krark Clan is diligently collected, melted down, and made into more junk, refuse, and offal.",

Commander in depth

"I can build it…. For the right price." - Daretti

Lore

Daretti is a Planeswalker from the beautiful and at the same time dangerously intriguing plane named Fiora. Despite being a golbin he is known for being exeptionally creative and intellectual, what clearly distinguishes him from most of his fellows. He set himself the goal to become a master artificer at the Academy of the High City of Paliano - Fiora's Capital City. Sadly, being around humans, who often have a hard time looking beyond one's appearance, he was mistreated and disliked among the academy's elite for being different and therefore hindered in completely fulfilling his passion. Following on his fateful path, one day, one of his experiments went horribly wrong and ended in a huge explosion, leaving a huge mess and almost taking the apprentice artificer's life. Fortunately, the event ignited his planeswalker spark and he was being dragged across the planes at the exact moment of the blast, what secured his life. However, he did not remain unharmed and the goblin lost both his legs in the explosion. Doing what a true master artificer does, he built a cogwork construction to compensate his disability to walk. At a later point in time he returned to Fiora with the goal to rebel against the souverinity of Paliano governed by the ursurper Queen Marchesa. Together with the citadel's former dungeon warden Grenzo he stirred up a goblin riot which lasts to this day and has the goal to disband the academy, take vengeance on everyone who wronged him and deprive the power of Marchesa's leadership.

Overview

Before the Commander 2014 precon decks got released Arcum Dagsson , Sharuum the Hegemon or Sydri, Galvanic Genius were the go to commanders for artifact strategies. Here and there Bosh, Iron Golem or Karn, Silver Golem made an appearance. But there's one who found his neiche in artifact reanimation and he does it better than any of his predecessors. He even easily competes with the newer busfated artict commanders like Breya, Etherium Shaper and Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain . However this is not about competition. We're playing mono-red, we're selfish, we're ruthless, we're aggressive.

Daretti, Scrap Savant is a 4 CMC Planeswalker sitting at 3 loyalty. This brings many advantages and disadvantages. A planeswalker commander is quite vulnerable but at the same time powerful. Good for us that we can drop him as early as turn three (turn two with Sol Ring ) most of the time and bring him up to 5 loyalty, protecting him from most threats that early in the game. But don't worry if he gets focussed straight away, there's enough redundancy so he can take a rest in the command zone more often than many other commanders. Note, however, that paying for a (worse) Faithless Looting isn't the most powerful thing to do in Magic. Daretti's true value comes from getting multiple activations of him. Because, doing the math, 4 mana to loot two times is the exact effect of the name giving sorcery, which is 'has-to-be-banned-in-Modern good', right?

Abilities:

"Goblins generally have two possessions: one per hand."

"+2: Discard up to two cards, then draw that many cards." - This is the ability I use 80% of the time Daretti is on the board. Dump big artifacts to get them for no cost later? ... sure! See two more cards of your deck and secure a land drop each turn with a 99% probability? ... excellent! Looting is very important for this kind of strategy and the key to win games with this deck. So building around this mechanic with cards like Alhammarret's Archive , Faithless Looting and some more is an absolutely great idea. When I scoop up my cards after a game the pile of cards I drew or had in my graveyard is often times bigger than my library. That means I had access to more than 50% of my deck in some way just by looting.

"I wrecked your metal guy, boss. But look! I made you an ashtray"

"-2: Sacrifice an artifact. If you do, return target artifact card from your graveyard to the battlefield." - So there we are with a graveyard full of artifact goodies like Wurmcoil Engine , Darksteel Forge , Myr Battlesphere , Meteor Golem etc., which we sent there with our several looting effects. Now you can weld them back by sacrificing smaller stuff and as with his first ability there's some redundancy included with the name giving Goblin Welder , Scarecrone , Trash for Treasure etc.

"-10: You get an emblem with "Whenever an artifact is put into your graveyard from the battlefield, return that card to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step." - I used to have a pile of about 5 cards that played directly towards getting out the emblem, but it's a very hard road to achieve this and I guarantee you that you become the archenemy as soon as Daretti has >7 loyalty. However, it is not impossible and in the 1 in 100 games you get to it you have a 99.99% win chance.

Strategy

Opening Hand:

It's quite simple but very important - the ideal opening hand consists of:

• 3 lands (at least 1 Mountain)
• 1-2 mana rocks with 2 CMC or less ( Iron Myr , Mind Stone , Sol Ring , ...)
• if possible a turn 1 play ( Sensei's Divining Top , Gamble , Wayfarer's Bauble , ...)
• 1-2 good artifacts to dump for Daretti's +2 ( Wurmcoil Engine , Spine of Ish Sah , Myr Battlesphere , ...)

The opening hand is very important. With the example above you get Daretti on turn 3 (turn 2 with Sol Ring ) and +2 him. After that you want to have Daretti on a safe loyalty count while consistently getting value on the board.

General Strategy:

1. Card advantage: This deck is all about card advantage. Having options in your hand, in your graveyard and on the field is absolutely nessecary when playing a mono-red deck. You won't pilot the best control, aggro or ramp deck at the table but your deck is still able to do all of this stuff with the help of artifacts. A good Magic player will never underestimate the power of mono brown strategies.

When it comes to tutors you want to get Alhammarret's Archive 90% of the time. It's the deck's main card advantage engine besides Daretti himself. If you're however satisfied with the card advantage you already got Metalworker is the next best choice.

2. Cheat costs: What do Darksteel Forge , Wurmcoil Engine and Myr Battlesphere have in common? Yes, they're all super powerful artifacts, but at the same time they sit at extremely high mana costs. So as it should be the goal of any reanimator strategy you will be cheating around those costs as good as you possibly can, by looting them into your graveyard and then getting them onto the battlefield with cheaper spells or abilities.

Another mostly overlooked way to cheat on costs is to get multiple activations of abilites from artifacts (or lands/planeswalkers). The best way to do so is Rings of Brighthearth , but the untappers Clock of Omens , Voltaic Key , Manifold Key and Unwinding Clock are also a way to get value stacking with the activated abilities of artifacts.

3. Assemble combos: And I don't nessecarily mean infinite combos. Due to my playgroup being allergic to game-ending combos I only included a handful of them and only because it would be foolish not to include the single pieces (like Rings of Brighthearth ). However, combos don't have to be infinite to be good or win you a game. Many cards are insanely synergistic without having you to say: "Ok, you can scoop, guys!". So the third major goal of the deck should be to assemble combos by tutoring or looting into the missing pieces that synergize well with the stuff you already have. Most combos include Mycosynth Lattice , but there are other pieces that synergize with pretty much every other card in the deck - for example: Clock of Omens or Rings of Brighthearth .

Win Conditions:

Plan A: Combos

In the mid to late game you usually have a big card advantage (including your graveyard). Since we are not playing control to exploit that card advantage we have to take the train to value town and try to assemble pieces that synergize very well. There are 'The Big Three' of this deck: Mycosynth Lattice , Rings of Brighthearth and Krark-Clan Ironworks . These three artifacts are the bread and butter of the deck because they harmonize very well with pretty much every other card in the deck and therefore build the fountation of most combos this list has to offer.

Lattice combos

• Mycosynth Lattice + Vandalblast --> destroy all permanents you don't control
• Mycosynth Lattice + Darksteel Forge + Nevinyrral's Disk --> wipe the entire board every turn leaving your stuff on the field
• Mycosynth Lattice + Mystic Forge --> You can cast every spell from the top of your library
• Mycosynth Lattice + Unwinding Clock --> Seedborn Muse
• Mycosynth Lattice + Ugin, the Ineffable --> all spells become less to cast
• Mycosynth Lattice + Krark-Clan Ironworks --> sacrifice any permanent to add (and even spend it as red mana)
• Mycosynth Lattice + Clock of Omens --> tap any two permanents to untap any other permanent

Rings of Brighthearth combos

• Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith + -->
• Rings+Monolith combo + Staff of Domination --> draw (and play) your entire deck, gain infinite life and tap/untap every creature in play
• Rings+Monolith combo + Sensei's Divining Top --> draw and play your entire deck
• Rings+Monolith combo + Voltaic Key / Manifold Key / Clock of Omens --> infinite untapping of any artifact; with Mycosynth Lattice you may untap any permanent, with Codex Shredder you infinitely mill
• Rings+Monolith combo + Steel Hellkite --> kill someone unable to block the Hellkite
• Rings of Brighthearth + Codex Shredder --> Regrowth any card and the Shredder itself

KCI combos (caution: convoluted!)

• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Retriever + Scrap Trawler + Sol Ring -->
• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Myr Retriever + Mirrorworks + --> infinite Regrowth of any artifact; with any or less CMC artifact or 2 CMC mana rock you have
• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Scarecrone + Myr Battlesphere + Clock of Omens --> infinite Myrs and thus
• Krark-Clan Ironworks + Sculpting Steel + Spine of Ish Sah --> destroy a permanent for ; with Ugin, the Ineffable you do it for free and have

Other Great Synergies and Combos

• Staff of Domination + Metalworker + 3+ artifacts in hand -->
• Crucible of Worlds + Strip Mine --> every turn destroy a land
• Crucible of Worlds + Inventors' Fair (+ 2 artifacts) --> every turn tutor
• Mystic Forge + Sensei's Divining Top + Ugin, the Ineffable --> infinite card draw

Plan B: Scrap Mastery

This Living Death for artifacts solely won me at least as many games as any of the combos above. It's a late game bomb and combos well with Lattice.

Saheeli's Directive is comparable but it's way more expensive and you will never know what you hit with it.

Plan C: Value grind

Imagine this list as a gearbox. Every card is a cog and you can arbitrarily switch out cogs in various sizes and amounts to have different outputs levels of power. So you can either have an army of tokens by grinding out ETBs of Myr Battlesphere , copy a Triplicate Titan with Mirrorworks and have 18 evasive damage each combat, sacrifice your artifacts in loops with Scraptrawler out, use Unwinding Clock to use a plethora of tap-to-active abilities artifacts bring with them ... this list basically has no end. By assembling a gearbox that is able to shift power at every state of the game is a very consistent way to win.

Card Selection

The card selction for this deck is by now a 6 year process. As I mentioned he was my very first commander and I love him to this day.

Note: that my playgroup environment might differ from yours. My playgroup is a focussed, 75% style group at best. So don't wonder why there are no Mox Opal , Mana Crypt and so on. I want a game to be fun and not to end at turn three.

Honorable Mentions

Blightsteel Colossus : Don't get me wrong he's a solid wincon but I think he doesn't belong in Daretti. He can't go to the graveyard so he's unrecurrable.

Blood Moon , Winter Orb , Smokestack and friends: Stax is a great and efficient way to play Daretti. Being able to slow your opponents down and disrupt their gameplan is a good idea in mono red. However, it is also an extremely uninteractive way to play, since everybody is just shut down and doesn't actually get to play the game, which is a problem in a casual format like EDH. So I left this strategy out, although I find it very, very powerful.

Bosh, Iron Golem : Great budget wincon. It's just not doing enough in my opinion and I don't value burn damage that high in EDH, that I'd give up board presence and 4 mana for it in EDH.

Caged Sun : Is a great mana doubler. It didn't make the list because of the very overloaded 6 CMC slot and there aren't enough red creatures that profit from the +1/+1 enough.

Contagion Engine : It's only purpose really is to enable Daretti's emblem which quite a unreliable win condition. The mass removal side of this card is also way too slow to be relevant.

Extraplanar Lens : Another good and also cheap mana doubler. Unfortunately you require Snow-Covered Mountain s to not double your opponents red mana and exiling a land with the lens in the early game can make you fall really far behind if it gets removed.

Feldon of the Third Path : I love the flavour of this card so much, but he just doesn't do enough in this, again, quite creatue-light deck.

Hellkite Igniter : Another solid budget wincon, but it doesn't synergize with many cards of the deck. It can't be cheated out, protected, sacrificed or anthing else.

Hellkite Tyrant : I used to run this guy for a long time and he won me a couple of games as well. However, at least as many times he got stolen, copied or Animate Dead ed and then he lost me the game. He's just too big of a risk to play.

Karn, Silver Golem : A great inclusion for protecting Daretti and also a combo with Mycosynth Lattice . However, he is almost never worth welding onto the field and therefore rather costly at (+ for activation).

Karn, the Great Creator : Absolute power house and a recommended inclusion in >90% style decks. It's just not that fun enhancing to be able to have Mycosynth Lattice in your 'sideboard' and just hard lock your opponents by -2 Karn and cast a Lattice.

Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient : Used to run him, but as soon as I made the investment of Rings of Brighthearth he had to go. Rings is better because a) it can copy Daretti's abilities, b) it only requires generic mana to do so and c) it is an artifact itself.

Mindslaver : Probably the best one-card win condition this deck can run. However, this card is one that many are allergic to adn to me it got a point at which I didn't want to set people off by controlling their stuff.

Planar Bridge : It's too mana hungry in my eyes and the old 6 drop problem is still there as well. Kuldotha Forgemaster though taking a turn does it better and much cheaper. + is quite hard to afford without reliable ramp.

Quicksmith Genius : Being able to loot every time an artifact enters the battlefield seems quite good, but haven't really found a spot for him yet.

Treasure Nabber : An extremely powerful and falvourful little goblin and a card that is in the 'you can only run 99 cards so you have to decide' category. He provides a strong stax effect which can be abused by sac options and welding effects and also provides a soft lock with Mycosynth Lattice . However, he is almost completely useless against green decks which tend to run land and creature ramp over artifact ramp.

Lands

Mountain s, obviously. There's as well the choice of Snow-Covered Mountain s if you decide to include Extraplanar Lens so there's no benefit for your opponents.

Ancient Tomb : A staple card in any legacy format and especially good in this list since it enables a turn three Daretti for basically free.

Blast Zone : A (selective) mass removal on a land is quite powerful. It also synergizes very well with proliferate.

Buried Ruin : Is an auto-include in any artifact based deck.

Darksteel Citadel and Great Furnace : Can be sacrificed to Daretti or other welding effects plus they untap on enemies' turns with Unwinding Clock . In the late game they're basically 0 CMC sac fodders.

Forge of Heroes : Generally good with a Planeswalker in the commandzone.

Forgotten Cave : The cheap red cycle land is good in early game if you need a land drop and good in late to draw into gas. Smoldering Crater is good aswell but too expensive in my opinion. Great synergy with Alhammarret's Archive and Crucible of Worlds as well.

Ghost Quarter : Some redundancy for a slightly worse Strip Mine effect.

Inventors' Fair : Another auto-include especially in mono-red where you have a lack of tutors. Synergizes insanely well with Crucible of Worlds .

Karn's Bastion : Proliferate on a land is one step closer to Daretti's emblem.

Mishra's Factory : An artifact man-land which can pump itself to 3/3 (or more with untap effects) is quite good as a blocker or sac fodder.

Myriad Landscape : Auto-include in any mono-colored EDH deck.

Phyrexia's Core : Sac options are always valuable especially in reanimator strategies. Protects your artifacts from getting exiled, stolen or tucked.

Shrine of the Forsaken Gods : Almost 90% of all spells in here are colorless. I admit it's a bit slow, but you have no disadvantage in dropping it early unlike with Temple of the False God .

Strip Mine : Staple Land that deals with enemies' lands like Maze of Ith , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Cabal Coffers , Glacial Chasm and others. Also there's a Crucible of Worlds in here.

Temple of the False God : Sometimes overrated, because it's a land, that is bad in your opening hand. But with that many colorless spells it's still very good, imo.

Zhalfirin Void : A scry land that comes into play untapped is so good in here. With all the looting effects top deck manipulation is very important and having it for free on a land is just great.

Creatures

Non-artifact creatures

Anger : There aren't that many creatures in this list, but the creatures that are in here pretty much all either have a tap ability or are great when they can swing the turn they enter. An Anger in the yard minimizes the window your opponents have to react to powerful creatures.

Dockside Extortionist : This card has the potential to accelerate the game for you to a point at which your opponents can barely keep up. Also Treasures being disposable artifacts makes them great sac foddder.

Goblin Engineer : Entomb for artifacts and also a mini Goblin Welder . He is very good at assembling the Rings+Monolith combo.

Goblin Welder : Daretti's -2 on a stick and flavour on top? I take it. Must include. Period.

Slobad, Goblin Tinkerer : A very underrated little fella. He's a sac outlet on a stick who protects half your board from being whiped and eases your combat step. There's basically no tucking, exiling or stealing with him on the field.

Artifact creatures

Combustible Gearhulk : The red gearhulk is a great include. Repeatable card draw in red is hard to come by.

Duplicant : Removal on a stick which can repeatably deal with any creature. You can't imprint commanders but at least you get rid of them.

Iron Myr : Getting Daretti out as early as possible is essential in most games. Also Kev Walker's Artwork of Iron Myr is absolutely amazing, making it the pet card of the deck even if it's kinda janky.

Myr Retriever and Scrap Trawler : Are granting extra value for each time they or in case of the Trawler something else, is welded/sacrificed. They also harmonize really well with Krark-Clan Ironworks .

Kuldotha Forgemaster : It's just straight up good. An instant speed tutor that gets things directly into play. Really good with Rings of Brighthearth , Unwinding Clock , Myr Battlesphere and many other cards in the deck.

Metalwork Colossus : Serves multiple purposes. First you can easily play him for free or at least evry cheap to protect Daretti, on the field he is an easy to recur sac fodder and in the graveyard he is a sac outlet. All in all this card screams SYNERGY.

Metalworker : An absolute powerhouse of an accelerant. His true potential comes from multiple activations in one turn with the help of the ol' faith ful untappers mentioned many times before.

Meteor Golem : Every piece of removal is worth its mana costs in tons of gold in a mono-red deck, especially if it hits enchantments and is able to block like the Golem.

Myr Battlesphere : Is great value in its ETB trigger. Good attacker, good blocker, comes with dudes that can jump in front of Daretti or be sac/welding fodder.

Scarecrone : Good recursion engine for artifact creatures.

Shimmer Myr : This deck being mono-red makes it not that re- and/or interactive. This dude helps hiding your strategies until they are necessary.

Silent Arbiter : The only purpose for this dude is to have Daretti protected. Having access to Daretti's looting and welding outlet is very important at almost every stage of the game. If your opponents know this, they will proiritize attacking him over almost everything else and the Arbiter disrupts that very well.

Solemn Simulacrum : Absolute staple, every ramp spell in mono-red is a blessing and he replaces himself when sacrificed. Also good value when recurred.

Steel Hellkite : Good mana sink as well as a selective wrath on a stick. Works exceptionally well against token decks.

Triplicate Titan : A great attacker/blocker with recurring value when being sacrificed.

Wurmcoil Engine : My favorite Magic card of all time and antoher auto-include. The value in this EDH staple is just inexpressable.

Artifacts

Sol Ring , Everflowing Chalice , Basalt Monolith , Mind Stone , Thran Dynamo , Fellwar Stone , Arcane Signet , Cursed Mirror for mana rocks: Yes, you need that many and feel free to even include more since it's the only way to ramp effectively in mono-red.

Alhammarret's Archive : The card draw on this card is just nuts, abusing the heck out of looting effects. Great synergy with life gain effects from Wurmcoil Engine and Trading Post .

Clock of Omens : Untapping things like mana rocks, Contagion Engine , Trading Post or even Wurmcoil Engine after a swing can be great value.

Codex Shredder : By far the most underrated card of the deck but it synergizes amazingly well with our graveyard strategy. Also great when combined with Sensei's Divining Top and Mystic Forge . The benefit to recur any card in red is quite good in case your Scrap Mastery or Goblin Welder find themselves in the graveyard. It even counters stuff like Vampiric Tutor , Mystical Tutor , Enlightened Tutor , Worldly Tutor and Liliana Vess since you just can mill enemies for one card after they tutored.

Crucible of Worlds : It gets you the Lands back you pitch for Daretti's +2 or other looting effects. Also good in combination with Strip Mine and Inventors' Fair .

Darksteel Forge : Makes problem solving much harder for our opponents.

Ichor Wellspring and Mycosynth Wellspring : They make great sac fodders and always replace themselves.

Krark-Clan Ironworks : Sac outlet and great mana accelerant. Synergizes well with Spine of Ish Sah since you sac it and already have two mana to pay to recast it.

Manifold Key : Untappers like this or Voltaic Key are very good with a lot of artifacts in this deck. And being able to make stuff like Triplicate Titan or Myr Battleshpere unblockable is also great.

Mirrorworks : It doubles the value of each ETB artifact for only two mana. Spine of Ish Sah make two, Myr Battlesphere get eight Myr tokens, tap Thran Dynamo to get a second one ... this card has a lot of potential.

Mycosynth Lattice : There are so many synergies. Have a look in the strategy section of this description to learn more. Note that its second effect shuts down cards like Green Sun's Zenith , Natural Order , Mother of Runes etc. which can come in handy.

Mystical Forge: Great artifact for top deck manipulation and a card advantage engine in one card.

Nevinyrral's Disk : Is a rattlesnake style board whipe option interacting with enchantments which is very valuable.

Rings of Brighthearth : This card not only exploits the fact that you're having a Planeswalker as your commander, you're also able to get extra value out of cards like: Kuldotha Forgemaster , Goblin Welder , Inventors' Fair ... just to name a few. Generates infinite mana with Basalt Monolith and two extra mana.

Sculpting Steel : We can't use Phyrexian Metamorph but we can use it's non-creature counterpart. Almost every of your non-legendary artifacts is worth copying and if our opponents are having more fun with artifacts than we do, we just join the party.

Sensei's Divining Top : Allows to control what we loot into with Daretti. Synergizes with Codex Shredder , Mystic Forge , Alhammarret's Archive to draw two for .

Spine of Ish Sah : Great removal since it's one of just a few ways to deal with pesky enchantments. Good sac fodder too.

Tormod's Crypt : Free, recurrable graveyard hate. It costing makes it a good sac fodder in case your opponents are not playing graveyard based decks, so it's never just a dead card.

Trading Post : The 'Unattackable Planeswalker'. Even if it's a card that you wouldn't tutor for, there's never a situation when this swiss army knife of a card is useless. Even making a 0/1 blocker is absolutely great.

Ugin's Nexus : Stopping all the Narset, Enlightened Master s, Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge s, Talrand, Sky Summoner s and other pesky blue decks from pulling off their No. 1 win condition while providing an excellent sac fodder for great value. I take it all day, every day.

Unwinding Clock : Works great with all the mana rocks we have as well as Shimmer Myr , Trading Post and Mycosynth Lattice . It's also technically giving artifact creatures vigiliance.

Voltaic Key : Another untapper next to Unwinding Clock and Clock of Omens . With Rings+Monolith combo you infinitely untap every artifact.

Wayfarer's Bauble : In red we can't get much better than a 3 mana Rampant Growth what this basically is. And if it's not needed it's cheap sac fodder.

Spells

Blasphemous Act : Best red creature mass removal and a commander staple.

Faithless Looting : Name-giving looting spell and the best of its kind. Even better than Daretti's +2 because you get to draw first and discard after.

Gamble : Best red tutor spell and the discard effect can become handy as well. With Gamble being the only card in your hand it turns into a sorcery speed Entomb .

Scrap Mastery : The Living Death for artifacts. Auto-include and one of the wincons of the deck. Synergizes well with Mycosynth Lattice turning it into a pseudo one-sided wrath.

Thrill of Possibility : Instant speed looting effect, great value.

Trash for Treasure : Daretti -2 on a sorcery. Great redundancy value.

Vandalblast : Great answer to mirror matches, voltron decks and decks that rely on mana rocks for ramp. Solid win con when combined with Mycosynth Lattice turning it into a clean one sided wrath.

Chaos Warp : Best red single target removal. To break the color pie in mono red is very important. Even after commander tuck rule change this has great value.

Ugin, the Ineffable : Lowering the mana costs of our artifacts by 2 is quite significant. There's a lot of shenanigans that can be done. For example with Scrap Trawler and a sac option you can do very crazy things. Also it's a removal and card advantage - great value.

Wheel of Misfortune : This is probably the closest version of Wheel of Fortune we will ever get. You will have to play the mind games to benefit from this, but it's still very good.
