Behold my legal acumen!
I have never heard of that card before today.
I find because if Kaalia reaches 8 mana and more to cost, it's better to just hard cast from that point on. My playgroup is also very conservative in their creature playing tendencies. Very few creatures die because so few are played.
That's why I won't run that black market
Also, I only run Bojuka Bog as GY hate since only Mimeo really exploits GY shenanigans in my playgroup. I guess I could use one more, but dedicating an extra card slot...
I think I need a lot more time to think about this. Perhaps I may need to cut one of my wraths for GY hate. I'm running plenty.

Shame on you, Dorku
That card basically cuts general recast costs in half, and whenever anything else dies, you gain even more.
Ever tried Cryptic Gateway
? With AVR, there are a couple of low-CMC Demons and Angels around, plus M13 will have a neat CMC 1 Dragon.
On GY hate: I've always been a big fan of Shred Memory
: it's an instant, so you can respond to the 'Plasm's casting, plus if you don't need it, you can transmute it for something more useful. Relic of Progenitus
is also very good, if a little more drastic.
Not saying that the Bog is a bad card, but these days, most players with a GY-centric strategy have learned how to play around it. I'd much rather use instants or continuous effects (like Leyline of the Void
or Yixlid Jailer
). Unless, of course, you have Sakura-Tribe Scout
or Walking Atlas
, in which case Bog out of nowhere is surprisingly effective.
Oh MTGS. Their first reactions to a fun build-around card like Battle of Wits getting reprinted is:
"...No.
No.
No. No No No No No. No no no no no no no no no! Oh goodness no..."
and "Well whatever. Everyone knows this set is for casual players anyways. God knows I wouldn't buy any of it."

X4: I like how they're not just disgusted, but thoroughly disgusted. At least they're putting some effort into their hate
I found Finkel's BoW decklist
. Kinda funny to see that big hulk amidst all those 60-card decks. Also, how in the hell do you even sideboard with that monstrosity?
