My Pick

[draft]Murderous Cut[/draft]

How do you evaluate Murderous Cut? Let’s see.

I was 100% on board with Dragon-Style Twins until I got to Murderous Cut.

Removal is essential in Limited and you don’t get much better than this. The potential to destroy a creature at instant speed for one mana is too good to pass up.

Development: Hard casting Murderous Cut for 5 is not the end of the world. In today’s Magic removal is usually that expensive anyway.

Parity: I will be very happy to draw Cut and be able to remove the main threat on my opponent’s side.

Winning: When you’re ahead and your opponent plays a blocker, feel free to sweep it aside and keep attacking for the win.

Losing: Murderous Cut will take out a big threat but you’ll need some board presence to really turn things around.

What Do You Think?

A rising tide lifts all ships.

Would you make the same first pick I did?
