Witch one is better?

Standard Deck Help forum

Witch one is better in y'all opinions Taigam's Scheming or Anticipate? I'm running a deck that relies on Assault Formation so I have to be able to dig for it somehow and the scheming digs 5 deep but the anticipate puts one in your hand

it's Anticipate by a country mile. Taigam's Scheming does not replace itself, which Anticipate does. And unless you're really needing the cards in your graveyard, Anticipate should be your go-to.

Anticipate is by far the better card. First of all, it is instant speed, which means you don't have to waste mana on your turn that could be used to counter a spell, or to at least show you have counter mana even if you don't. Second, a dig three and draw is better than a pseudo-scry of 5. Not to mention, you still get to reorganize. I would go with Anticipate every time.

Ok I thought it was more of a general standard question rather than a specific deck help question but whatever

You're asking about which card to run in the context of your deck; ergo, it's a deck help question. You do not ask which is better generally in the meta.

In my Sidisi-whip deck, I run Scheming mainboard and Anticipate sideboard. If you have graveyard synergies, Scheming is generally better unless you're going to mill out; otherwise Anticipate is way better in almost every case.

I like that one but right now this is not only a standard deck but it's still khans block constructed and I'd like to keep it legal after rotation
