As someone who has around a dozen 3-1s or better in MTGO dailies with Paradoxical Outcome decks (never Storm versions) on various accounts, I would seriously consider replacing this in my rainbow lands version over my currently singleton slot over Wear/Tear (or maybe Nature's Claim). The flexibility of cycling seems better than being able to hit enchantments out of the maindeck. That said, I don't think this is ever powerful enough as a sideboard card.

@mickey.nobilis Number of players is not an indication of competitiveness though. EDH people always got extremely offended when I played a Vintagesque broken combo deck against them. Your standard FNM's are mostly bad players with incomplete decks too, and standard FNM is probably the most popular format out there.

thanks for the feedback, all. glad there is still an audience for Magic articles that don't end with decklists or sideboarding guides.

@Islandswamp I love Grixis Delver, Therapy with Probe, now that's a game changer. I really wonder about the potential use of Extirpate in that deck, since it's great before Therapy, and it's good after Therapy.

@structuremole That's great. I hadn't noticed that detail. Well done. Also check out how Tracker and his clues work with other shops cards like, Ravager, Crucible, Tanglewire, and Kuldotha... Not sayin its awesome, but interesting at least. And in Shops, which tends to have basically no way to draw cards and crap tons of mana... this clue stuff could make a lot of sense. Imagine Tolarian Academy with clues on the table...

@wappla Great article, as always. I'm not sure if you haven't written for a while or if I just kept missing your articles but either way, I'm happy to read them again.
