Alright, so I've been working on my deck and have decided to take a few cards out. Now I have an open spot for one card, and I want it to be a solo card to help diversify my deck. Here are the cards I'm deciding between:

1x Thoughtseize or

1x Experiment One or

1x Strionic Resonator

Here's the deck:

Thanks for your input!

Out of those choices, I would go with the Strionic Resonator for your deck. You have some very powerful triggered abilities on your cards, like Kalonian Hydra .

Thoughtseize isn't very useful as a one-of. You can't build any kind of strategy around it. Experiment One isn't that great either.

I would choose to add a fourth Sylvan Caryatid over your options though. You might also sideboard another one or two Mistcutter Hydra for blue matches.

That makes sense about Thoughtseize . I did have 4x Sylvan Caryatid , but then I would start out slow (2x Sylvan Caryatid 1x Gyre Sage and 1x Elvish Mystic have a combined power of 2 on turn 4), so I had to drop the defender.

I like Strionic Resonator because it's valuable no matter what turn it is.

What are the thoughts behind Rakdos's Return ? Seems like a legit card on paper, how is it in play?
