Complete Disregard or Touch of the Void?

As a / Dragons player, which is better in a Sideboard? Both are ok, and are acting as replacements for Magma Spray.

Touch of the Void. Not only can it hit players, but against RDW, the player will simply have to play a Titan's Strength, and besides, most of the time, the creatures have 4+ power.

Good point, but the reason Complete Disregard is nice is it exiles Hangarback Walkers in response to the player activating the ability. I personally think Touch of the Void is a bit better, but I just wanted to check what others thought, too. : )

I'd lean towards Complete Disregard, but only b/c it's Instant speed. I'm not sure that dragons needs the extra reach that Touch of the Void provides. And if you're looking for a 3 CMC removal spell, have you looked at Exquisite Firecraft?

Isn't Touch of the Void a replacement effect anyways? The creature won't "die", so no little thopters to worry about. Could be wrong though.

I have indeed. The problem with dragons is its weakness to abzan-hangarback, so we need some exile based removal in the SB. I personally like Touch of the Void better due to the fact it hits a flipped jace if need be, but honestly I don't know.

Is running one of each a good idea and simply testing from there? For now I think I'll try Touch of the Void, but Complete Disregard looks solid, too.

Yea, they both exile. The hangarback will never touch the Graveyard.

Thoughts?

two 1-ofs might give you a better idea as to which is better. Then based on what you find you can move to one or the other.

Ok, I'll try that! Seems like a solid way to test it out.

@FAMOUSWATERMELON

Thanks as well! I haven't talked to you in a while, and it's nice to see you around. I've been really inactive recently, and I should probably come on more.

Haha nice to see you too :) Life can be ridiculously busy sometimes.
