i'd forgotten about mind grind, thank you.this was made for a friendly casual thing where we banned mythics and legendaries so i can't use jace.
THE "SHRIEKHORN IS BETTER THAN TOME SCOUR" CAMPAIGN:First of all, it's colorless, so if you are stranded with a swamp at turn 1, you can get going with shriekhorn already that turn.I've been playing with both tomescour and shriekhorn in my modernmill, and for more than 200 games I have been registering how much shriekhorn mills on an average. The basis is that I play 4 and play them within a priority to keep track of what happens to lategame shriekhorns, so the first numeric results are always for the most played shriekhorn, while the last is for the least played shriekhorn (which sometimes doesn't get played)I've tested against the fastest decks on the field (Well elves are not that fast, but I tested it anyways)SHRIEKHORN VS MERFOLK:5.571, 5.333, 5.142, 5.037At no point it drops below 5, so it is statistically better than tomescour.SHRIEKHORN VS AFFINITY:5.538, 5.2, 4.888, 4.5Half of the shriekhorns drop below 5 so two could be replaced with tomescour.SHRIEKHORN VS INFECT:5.111, 5, 5, 4.5They still stay above 4 so no exchanges.SHRIEKHORN VS ELVES:5.5, 5.5, 5, 4.888One drops below 5 and could be replaced.BUT WHAT ABOUT DECKS WITH ARTIFACT HATRED ???First of all, only a few nuts persons would target a shriekhorn to destroy it, and in general if they really really want to target your horn, then let them and play mesmeric orb or other superior artifact mill.SHRIEKHORN HAS OTHER USES:In legacy I've often used shriekhorn to disrupt cards set for counterbalance, but there must be modern decks where instantly disrupting the top of a library counts for something.Also, a lot of players favor echoing truth as a sideboard card in modern, and by echoing shriekhorn you gain a fresh mill-clock.
