It hits all the best stuff (Jace, Recall, Brainstorm, etc.), but it doesn't win you the game. I think Chains needs much more build around than just Confidant. Plus any Oath deck probably has another Oath sideboard, at the very least GG Oath is only 3 slots and ignores Chains completely. Oh, I have to discard all these cards I'm drawing? Darn, guess I'll only get 20 storm instead of 40. I would say that should probably be edited to "Best Reasonably Legal card in Magic", since there is a better Ancestral RecallĪlso, Chains is actually terrible against Grisel Oath builds, because they all run YawgWin and Past in Flames and (usually) another PiF in the board to Wish for. I would never, never suggest running a full 4x since it does have its weaknesses and is a dead card against many decks such as MUD-esque archetypes and dredge, but to have it in a deck is easy and totally worthwhile. Not to mention that it's one of the few hard counters to Oath decks (Griselbrand). Just being able to shut down Ancestral Recall, nevermind Jace or Brainstorm (+co), is totally worth it. In the "Top 50 Magic Cards" thread or whatever it's called, I listed Ancestral Recall as the best card in Magic, and I wasn't joking. This is why it's typically associated with B/R shells since the colors inherently don't "draw" cards. You don't need anything to support Chains of Mephistopheles beyond not relying on draw yourself. Step 2: Play a game with Chains of Mephistopheles in your deck. Step 1.5: Include Dark Confidant as well because it's a funny workaround and an overall great card. Step 1: Include Chains of Mephistopheles in a deck.
