Tidehollow or Castigate?

Deck Help forum

Which is better for my B/W Swarm and Conquer token deck? Tidehollow Sculler can be used to block and attack but comes at the drawback of them easily getting their card back. With Castigate they wouldn't get their card back, but I wouldn't have anything to attack/block with. Which do you think is better, and why?

Definitely Tidehollow. A body goes a long way. He is great for tempo because he sets them off balance while you still get a viable beater/blocker.

Tidehollow Sculler is not bad as it's surprisingly resilient to Black's conditional single-target removal, like Doom Blade , Go for the Throat , Victim of Night , Ultimate Price , so it's not that easy for them to remove if you aren't playing against Red burn.

If you snag the right card, it is quite hard to kill a Tidehollow Sculler before it gets some work in. Definitely the Sculler.
