So I am looking at how to fill my 2 drop removal for epser dragons. I feel ultimate price just isnt that great with a lot of colourless and multicolour creatures running around. What do people think about: - immolating glare: instant speed and only requires 1 white mana.- grasp of darkness: best removal at this cost, but stretches mana base a bit needing double black- silk wrap: not instant speed and cant hit things like thoughtnot seer
each has its plus and minus please help
Grasp doesn't stretch the manabase as much as youd think. Its your best option by far.

Unless you need grasp turn 2 best play is:
1: Swamp, Duress2: Island, Jace3: Hollow, Grasp or Scorn & flip (with fetches)

Yea I have to agree. Grasp is the best option at 2cmc, but if you're deck is stacked you may not really need it. In the sideboard maybe, but Immolating Glare is pretty great in that spot as well

Until rotation, Immolating Glare is not good enough for mainboard use imo. Abzan and Wingmate Roc are still seeing enough play that allowing a creature to attack is bad.

when dragons was at its strongest utilizing Hero's Downfall and Bile Blight it comfortably hit 2 black sources on 2 when it needed them, i could easily see Grasp of Darkness replacing bile blight here, ofcourse those decks had Thoughtseize as well so maybe i'm wrong in my assumption.

Silumgar's Scorn the things you can't remove before they hit :)
I found Swift Reckoning to be decent when I played Bant Dragons.
