If you can barely pay the Evoke cost, it hits their stuff for (nominally) one mana if you have more mana it's gravy. Ingot Chewer is actually really good in the sideboard here against MUD. Necro seems like it would just be a powerhouse. The Bloodghasts in Miss Bun's list are also pretty interesting. Pyromancer is an obviously strong addition, and Winds of Change is very cute. Some players also discussed 2-3 Blood Moon maindeck to have 6-7 Moons rather than just 4 Magus. There was some debate about putting in Mox Monkey, and I'm pretty sure in the current meta, REB should be sideboard. This Deck isnt your traditional competitive. However, we have all the tools to keep our Opponents at bay and Jacques le Bones alive and well. Casting Monsieur Tinybones is the easy part, with plenty of ways to get him out Turn 1. This is one of the old lists that ran Chains. Win through Attrition and Deck Synergies.
PyroTherapy is fantastic, I'm just not sure if you need a way to close out games quicker, or possibly put more intense, constant pressure on. That list looks ok, but I feel like there's not a lot of pressure outside Pyro. A Grisel activation would actually be pretty brutal under Chains. That's a good point, I had forgotten that they run fewer rituals. It's weak or useless in some matchups, and straight up suicide in others (helloooooo Dredge), so you really need to plan carefully how you're attacking the meta with it. It hits all the best stuff (Jace, Recall, Brainstorm, etc.), but it doesn't win you the game. I think Chains needs much more build around than just Confidant.

Plus any Oath deck probably has another Oath sideboard, at the very least GG Oath is only 3 slots and ignores Chains completely. Oh, I have to discard all these cards I'm drawing? Darn, guess I'll only get 20 storm instead of 40. I would say that should probably be edited to "Best Reasonably Legal card in Magic", since there is a better Ancestral RecallĪlso, Chains is actually terrible against Grisel Oath builds, because they all run YawgWin and Past in Flames and (usually) another PiF in the board to Wish for.

I would never, never suggest running a full 4x since it does have its weaknesses and is a dead card against many decks such as MUD-esque archetypes and dredge, but to have it in a deck is easy and totally worthwhile. Not to mention that it's one of the few hard counters to Oath decks (Griselbrand). Just being able to shut down Ancestral Recall, nevermind Jace or Brainstorm (+co), is totally worth it. In the "Top 50 Magic Cards" thread or whatever it's called, I listed Ancestral Recall as the best card in Magic, and I wasn't joking. This is why it's typically associated with B/R shells since the colors inherently don't "draw" cards. You don't need anything to support Chains of Mephistopheles beyond not relying on draw yourself. Step 2: Play a game with Chains of Mephistopheles in your deck. Step 1.5: Include Dark Confidant as well because it's a funny workaround and an overall great card. Step 1: Include Chains of Mephistopheles in a deck.
