I think what he's saying is that Act proably isn't a good enough wrath on it's own
Card/Deck Control Cards that other decks will play

I mean if youre running powermax, youre obviously gonna just run portalquake instead. But theres plenty of environs where blasact is a great wrath for red, and it has unique features that give it synergistic angles.

It's pretty borderline. But it's also fun and has play (and counterplay) to it, so I'm not sure.
Blasphemous Act is great over here. The combo with Soulfire/Reckoner is sweet, but not essential to its value. Even decks that aren't full "go-wide aggro" tend to have 2-3 bodies on-board (at least over here) whereas control will typically have 0-2 little value bodies to feed the wrath as well in a must-clear scenario. I've cast it for 1 mana several times, and I'd say the average cost is probably 4~5, but even 6 is a good cost in my books. I dislike 4-mana sweepers these days that aren't conditional. I think 5-6 mana is pretty ideal for wraths to give aggro space and make demands of control (which has a strong game over here), but that's just my format's experience. Idk what yall have going on that a wrath that gets cheaper the more screwed you are isn't a good deal, but I love it personally.

I think it makes a nice .5 of an effect. Like I wouldn't run 2 control magic @360, but control magic + ray of command I feel fine with
Is it maybe time to do a overhaul of our sweet-spells section and just absolutely purge the four cmc slot? Like, that is a pretty crowded place at the moment. I'm not the only one that has seen a bunch of control decks being built from my cube as "brainstorm and four drops".
It's too bad that so much good control material is there, with cards like FoF (should it go?) and sweepers.
I'd probably rather see control players stock up on charms and cheap removal.

My solution has been to move sweepers up the curve and draw/selection down the curve (notably excepting fof and gifts).
One drops and four drops combine well... on turn 5.
Your point being?
