So the idea of hiding behind an ensnaring bridge always appealed to me.... But how to consistently get it out?? I was looking at some other dredge and rack decks and got the idea that having life from the loam to get me academy ruins, to get me ensnaring bridge (or the rack if needed). The raven's crime with life from the loam can easily shred the opponent's hand, but to me it didn't seem like it wanted to get up and get going fast enough for my tastes. I tried simian spirit guide but it was very inconsistent, then decided on a combination of explore and summer bloom. The bloom blasts me further ahead, but the explore lets me dredge if needed. I was CONSIDERING adding in Delver of secrets, it would have a high possibility of flipping, at the same time while offering a threat on the board, but most importantly lets me decide whether to dredge or not during the draw step. So the basic idea is destroying your opponents hand so they can't deal with the damage from the rack and shrieking affliction each turn. The Tormenting voice is better against control, as the discard is part of the cost so even if it gets countered you still get to pitch something in the graveyard. I think Dangerous Wager will be better against aggro as I can enable the potential of ensnaring bridge at instant speed. Let me know what you guys think of the Delver idea (Just an idea I was toying with) and also if there are any other considerations for the deck, especially the manabase.
