    I’m with you on Perilous Voyage.  We have better bounce.

    Perilous Voyage doesn't target so it is a way for blue to remove a hexproof creature without relying on disable effects first.
    Hmm... I actually never saw the "first creature" clause in it. That's actually quite neat! Thanks for the clarification, ZW!

    I totally missed that.  I’ll be using that after all.

    Exactly, and it will destroy the creature if the opponent has 6 cards in their hand. Very good!

    It's not very hidden but I really like Captivating Crew! It's a must for all of my red decks as a creature right now.

    Dowsing Dagger is one I thought was good, then I played it and.... eh.... you have to have a lot of removal in order for it to be good, or be running all flying creatures. It's a nice way to gum up your opponent's board if you are using fliers, but beynond that, I found it to be frustrating the first time I tried it out to give my opponent a wall I couldn't get through since I had all land-based creatures. Might be worth testing out on creatures with afflict and trample, though. Maybe in a Samut deck.
    Try using that with steal spells and you’ll have your own wall. Couple that with something to buff that plant or give it flying and it’s going to be a pain for your opponent...

    Depths of Desire let’s you bounce your own creature back to your hand!  Very handy!
    I also saw that if you opponent’s hand is full, you can still cast it on his creatures and it destroys them instead. So it can be bounce and/or destroy.

    Edit: quoted wrong text originally, now fixed. Quote was intended for Depths of Desire.

    settle the wreckage seems interesting especially with it able to handle 3 creatures in one turn if they attack nice for a side board at least to hanlde deploy the gate watch or a kiora cascade deck

    Those who have seen my decks know I like discard. A lot . Heartless pillage makes me very happy. Just splattin hands and getting a lil kick back. There are a few other randoms I'm testing, but pillage is a winner .

    "lil kick back", very cunningly disguised there...

    saw and got that also sure i can make him work in my bolas deck but having to much fun running him with imminent doom right now. I have had rounds i give 40 points to the ai before my creatures attack, hard to argue with that.

    I think Raider's Wake is going to be fun in a Bolas deck with Lost Legacy and Hazoret's Undying Fury....

    Arg!  Raider’s Wake is the only uncommon I don’t have!

    infinite obliteration, lost legacy, baral, plus the  other mythic from origins the discards your and his hand, and a few other discards from the last sets, perhaps fevered dreams to help him draw more and hurt him plus have more you can make him discard? ;-) wont be standard though

    Or just in an OB deck to be sure oponent always draws something at the begining of his turn and to enhance the power of lost legacy ... 11 damage instead of 8 per card isnt worse.

    @morgue427 Day's Undoing (from Origins) does not "discard" your cards. It "moves" your cards. I think it might be the only one that does that.

    to be honest I wish it discarded.....

    The whole hand in deck shuffle thing has no funtion in PQ

    Except that it does. This card intentionally doesn't trigger anything in graveyards. That was irrelevant in Origins, but makes a difference if you're forcing your opponent to shuffle their Grind//Dust into their library rather than discarding it where they can just exile your creatures.

    Though at this point the card should be updated to more closely reflect it's paper counterpart and also shuffle your graveyards in. Get rid of those embalm/eternalize/aftermath cards.
