The more I play, the more I value flexible reactive cards and Wail of the Nim does some serious work.

It has saved my hide more than once in my Mono Black Sygg deck:

It's a slow day at the office and I'm working on my Hei Bai deck. I want to borrow from @alex.spikefeeders.com so give me your suggestions for the deck, but also your cut. Be respectful.

I want to keep this "Mono Black" Hybrid is okay, gold isn't.

And go.
