Okay, I need to ask the good old question for those like myself who actually have a 8 rack deck; will the new card Waste Not replace Dark Confidant ? I know it seems silly to ask, but if you think about it, could it be better to replace the confidant with them when M15 comes out? Deck: Control The Hand-Control the Field 8 Rack this is my deck and I personally ran my deck at a fnm last night and technically went 3-1, but I split with a new player and let him win some money. I'm on the table as of right now in deciding to get at least two Dark Confidant to replace Necrogen Mists , but is he worth buying when Waste Not will be coming soon?

In 8rack, yeah, probably. In any other deck, not so much.
I think that Waste not is a really solid card if you plan on discarding everything, so it definitely has potential to beat out a bob. However, I'd be leery about them just pitching lands the whole time and you getting mana flooded.

Waste Not sucks. It triggers the same as Liliana's Caress and Megrim .
Notice how neither of those cards r ran in 8Rack? Waste Not falls into the same category as those.

I think Waste Not will flop. Its a card that sounds amazing, but it will rarely give profit. It will replace Liliana's Caress in casual games, but will never replace Bob. In modern and legacy it wont stay around long enough to be profitable. If it does it wont kill your opponent faster than Liliana's Caress ..

He is a sudo planeswalker, that your opponent controls. I do not see him coming close to replacing a long standing staple.

how could waste not replace bob? he gives you card advantage while waste not you have to use cards to get any sort of proc out of it. sure you could have a deck filled with discard cards, but bob acts alone while you use more cards. waste not can do wonders with bob as he will give u cheap discard cards and u can still kill your opponents hand. if anything id go 3 bob and 3 waste not this way u get card advantage, kill your opponents hand, and can get ridiculous effects out of waste not
