Jesus Christ, that's disgusting. I like that people are re-evaluating certain two-mana counterspells, post-Silumgar's Scorn. I could feasibly see just plain old Tarmogoyf instead of Oracle. The tempo the rest of your deck becomes much better when you have actual pressure on the board. It does make Ruse a little worse, so Oracle also seems absolutely great.

I know. This deck actually makes me feel disgusting. Tarmogoyf is a beater, and should be in here. I just like Coiling Oracle with its efficiency, but Familiar's Ruse doesn't get worse at all. It just becomes more of a protective spell instead of a counterspell. I will try Tarmogoyf and probably keep it in, or even try a Spellstutter Sprite. The pressure I usually like forcing is making my opponent play around whatever is in my deck, which they most likely wouldn't know. 

[Simping For Hina]

Yeah, so I ended up putting 4 Tarmogoyfs in.

Have you tried spell stutter sprite in this? Recycling it with ruse just feels mean and oppressive

[Simping For Hina]

I have and I don't like it too much if I am not play 2 Vendilion Cliques or a mutavault. It is good at stopping one mana things, but I would rather stop 2 mana things more.
