Should I Run Precinct Captain?
Deck Help forum

I'm building an Orzhov Good Stuff deck and I'm running into the issue that Precinct Captain is just a bit lack luster. I'm wondering if I should take him out and sub in a bigger threat or if I'm just going insane and having a defensive 2 drop is a good thing.
Would love help on this!

Oh, and I'm not going to run Pack Rat . It's boring and not fun.
Precinct Captain isn't stellar in this current standard metagame. There are many decks running Sylvan Caryatid , many decks running Bile Blight , many decks running Searing Blood , Magma Jet , Courser of Kruphix , Nightveil Specter , Gray Merchant of Asphodel , etc. His abilities are fantastic, but he has far too many answers right now (even outside of the normal Doom Blade /Hero's Downfall ) for him to make anything of himself.

As defensive two drops go High Priest of Penance is among the best, and even in the late game can be a massive annoyance to the opponent.

They either waste removal on him or they have to swing in and risk having their stuff blown up. He's ok.

I'm not sure how he fits into your deck, but I love Precinct Captain . Not really sure if he is all that great, but he is not a bad 2-drop, IMO. Good value if he isn't dealt with.
