Which Card Should Replace Plasm Capture?

Commander Deck Help forum

I have a copy of Plasm Capture in this EDH deck, here, but I plan to replace it, with another card, since its mana cost is too strict, and I am considering one of the following cards: Cryptic Command *list*, Countermand, Dismal Failure, or Dismiss; among those cards, Cryptic Command *list* is the most versatile, but it also has the strictest casting cost; Dismiss is simply a poor substitute for Cryptic Command *list*; Countermand is redundant with Psychic Strike and Thought Collapse; and Dismal Failure is quite nice, but it is also rather expensive for its effect. Also, I could forsake a counterspell and instead put Eureka Moment in this deck, although Gretchen Titchwillow has an ability that is essentially a repeatable version of that spell.

Therefore, I would like to ask everyone here for advice about this matter: which card should replace Plasm Capture in this deck?

I believe that Countermand is the best card for this deck, so that is the card that I shall put into it.

Or actually Glen Elendra Archmage may have a bit more synergy with mimeoplasm, since when it persists it will always enter with +1 counters

I second the Glen Elendra Archmage. She counters two spells, and your commander can copy her if there's nothing better in the yard.

capwner, World_Peace, that is a very nice suggestion, so I thank you, for it!
