Psychic Strike vs Dissolve
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 18, 2013, 3:29 a.m. by Darkness1835
Hello.
I'm working on a grixis control deck and have been wondering which counterspells to use. For my decklist, do you think Dissolve
is better than Psychic Strike
? Or should I take out Syncopate
for Strike?
Thoughts?
Deck can be found here. Bolas' Redemption
If your meta is heavy on counterspells you could run Counterflux

Unless milling is part of your strategy, or double-Blue is too unreliable, Dissolve is clearly better due to the Scry. In fact, you might be doing your opponent a favor with Psychic Strike if they're running Scavenging Ooze , Whip of Erebos , Scavenge creatures like Deadbridge Goliath or Varolz, the Scar-Striped , etc.

Dissolve is certainly the better spell. Scry is going to be more relevant than milling two cards. However, Psychic Strike is much easier on your mana base. Currently you're trying to hit Dissolve , Hero's Downfall and Anger of the Gods all potentially on T3, and without the benefit of more than a set of Scry lands.
Unless you can shift or add a few more blue sources, I would go with Psychic Strike for the consistency.
