My LGS was missing 5 cards from my deck, and I need it for friday! (Argy just pinging you so you can see this before friday)

LOOKING TO REPLACE, NOT TRADE

Missing cards:

2x Abrade

2x Fatal Push

and

1x Supreme Will.

Are you looking to trade for them, or for replacements? I'm confused!

abby315 Just looking to replace them, can't really trade on this short notice

+2 Essence Scatter, +2 Harnessed Lightning, +1 Disallow is my take. Maybe +1 Censor over Disallow.

I would do this:

2x By Force or 2x Harnessed Lightning - what's more important, killing Creatures or destroying Artifacts?

2x Magma Spray - this is a no brainer

This last one is quite tricky, as there's not really a card that has both those modes.

I think the closest you can get is Censor, but it becomes quite useless in the mid game.

You could use Disallow, or even Cancel if you want a cheap replacement.

What Argy said, with extra emphasis on Disallow over Cancel.

Argy How would Pull from Tomorrow work in the Supreme Will spot?

ACDAMAN it's a very good card in the late game so one copy would be perfect.

Argy Perfect, thank you

Argy What about Release the Gremlins over By Force? Chances are by the time the artifacts are problematic enough I'll have more than enough lands to destroy them all, plus the tokens I can use as blockers and such

You CAN play that if you want to but, after playing with both, I can tell you that By Force is MUCH more effective.

It can be used earlier, which sometimes makes all the difference, or it can pick up more targets if used later.

You're playing a control deck, so chances are the random Gremlins won't matter for your clock, unless you want them to block for you. By Force really is much more efficient.
