Essentials

[TheAbe]

I don't think that the Essentials should bother with All is Dust. I don't think the deck can generate enough advantage to make it better that Akroma's Vengeance or most other super wraths.

The Essentials can reliably cast DSC, I'm sure it could get down Emrakul. It won't be every game, but if he comes down, he's winningest awesome doom monster.

Here is why I like All is Dust:

1). You are adding 50 cards, thus reducing the % of your deck that are sweepers, so adding once seems like a good idea.
2). This fucker is a sacrifice that kills thinks with indestrucitbale, already mentioned.
3). No matter what your color mana base looks like, this thing can be cast.
4). It's a sweeper that offs Planeswalkers instead of artifacts, and makes that swap basically. No other sweeper takes out Planeswalkers
5). You can plan around it by dropping a bunch of artifacts. You cannot do that with Akroma's Vengeace except by playing Planeswalkers - not much of a follow through. It can clear the path for things like Darksteel, Eldrazi, etc. Even crap like Etched Oracle and Solemn Simulcrum can start the beating.
