Mishra's Bauble for BUG midrange?
Modern forum
Posted on Feb. 12, 2015, 6:38 p.m. by kbarnhart
Has anybody thought about using Mishra's Bauble in modern to get a free card in the graveyard for delve as well as the delayed cantrip? I'm thinking about building a midrange BUG deck with Tasigur, the Golden Fang as well as maybe Tombstalker or Murderous Cut . This deck isn't supposed to be pro tour material or anything. Just semi competitive. Any thoughts? Objections?

Deck thinners in the likes of Gitaxian Probe, Street Wraith and Mishra's Bauble have been discussed before in a context of downsizing a deck to make it more consistent. It turns out that there is a lack of information these cards create that can be very dangerous. Simply put, you don't know what you're drawing, and mulligans become unnessesarily complicated. Feeding the graveyard is good, but you will probably get more value out of cantrips that actually do something.

I play Mishra's Bauble in Tron, but it's only so I can quickly assemble the pieces by turn three. If you're playing something like B/G/x, I don't think you'd want to use the space. It seems like you'd want to load up on more copies of Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, or even Serum Visions.

It was played in Esper Delve so I guess.
Personally I would rather get another live spell that does stuff when you cast it
