In limited which one is generally better? Runner's Bane or Hands of Binding. Both have their own limitations. I just want you people's opinions.

Runner's Bane is better for an alpha strike because you're likely to disable more than just one thing.
Hands of Binding isn't as explosive, but can completely shut down a threat, which can make it invaluable.
I'd say Hands of Binding is a better card in limited, unless you're going full aggro, in which case the explosive damage from Runner's Bane is probably more relevant most of the time.

My main problem with Runner's Bane is the limitation although it is a lot better for dealing with fast decks (as the name would suggest XD) i still prefer Hands of Binding . I have three reasons for that one have an unblockable creature and you can pretty much constantly keep bigger creature taps out two you can switch targets with it and three i run Guttersnipe atm.

The Q&A is more for rule questions. Move to Standard.
