In reply to JasonAlt. I can confirm these assertions, I run it in R/G Wort and I've only occassionally had to keep it in hand due to not having 4 legal targets (most of the time I'm waiting on an enchantment). In fact, I'd imagine it's even better now that people are playing all the enchantment creature stuff from THS block. Not to mention, I hear 8-for-1's are good, plus style points for running a fairly old and obscure card.

Called FoW, Misdirection isn’t very far away!

Do this set getting non-limited printing will affect the price long term?

In reply to Adam. That is a really bleak scenario. The only way you will ever be able to cast Decimate is to blow up your own Akroma\'s Memorial? Come on, hyperbole much? I am confident that if I start jamming this, it will not sit in my hand. In fact, this solves a lot of problems I\'m having with card selection in Riku. I bet there are more games where I\'m doubling decimate than games where it\'s stranded in my hand. Everyone plays mana rocks, lots of them. Enchantments are going to be the sticking point, but is it worse than sitting on a Slice in Twain like I do with Riku? You\'re proposing a lot of scenarios that are pretty bizarre to justify not playing with a card that seems fine to me. I could copy and paste everything you said about Decimate and apply it to Rack and Ruin, a card that gets a ton of EDH play. I\'m jamming a Decimate in Riku and I bet it solves way more problems than it creates.

Decimate isn’t used in EDH because it still usually forces you to destroy something of your own, especially with EDH format. Lets throw an example out there. Lets say I have 2 opponents and my opponent to my left has put an Elesh Norn into play, and it prevents me from my combo (something with lots of little creatures.) and I have a decimate in my hand. Well, you can’t cast it unless you have 4 targets. You can always blow up an opponent land, that’s awesome, and you can take out elesh norn… and one of a couple meaningless enchantments (not saying enchantments are meaningless, just in this situation the ones on the board are) and there are no artifacts. So I have to set down a manafact or if it’s the only artifact in my hand… an accroma’s memorial, and then play decimate to destroy it (because I need 4 targets.)

Now lets say you consistantly have a 4-6 person playgroup for EDH, then decimate rarely has issues, but in reality the 4-6 player games are the best ones, but 90 percent of what you really play is head to head and 3 player games because that’s what happens when you go over to a friends house to play. 2v2 the card sucks… and 3v3 the card is just alright…. but all in all nobody wants to use cards that they have to switch out based on the number of players that are playing (and virtually nobody has EDH sideboards) so this card gets left out. That’s the reason, ask any red/green EDH player they’ve likely already been through this… they didn’t forget it, you did. Try it out for a couple weeks, you’ll see what i mean.
