Thoughts on Bob in RakDW? I've been playing with him for the past month or so, but I'm still not sure wether or not he's as good as another burn spell. If we get to untap with him, sure, but how often does that happen? I find him to be better in long, dragged out grinds, but we're a deck who wants to win early... What is everyone's experiences with Bob?
I played with him for a while in my RB deck wins. He just didn't get enough done for me to like him. As you said, this deck wants to win fast and Bob is better off for decks that want to win a longer game. The only creatures I would run in this deck now are Goblin Guide, Vexing Devil and Grim Lavamancer.
Most of the time you just want to draw another burn spell. Bob might as well be that burn spell instead of making you wait another turn to draw it.
lives for 1 turn -> same as if you say that keldon marauders only deal 2 dmg if they live for 1 turn
lives for 2 turns -> carddraw and possibility to swing for 2
if you get to turn 4 it doesn't always mean you are playing too slow, since there is always a second player who also interacts with the board and the game.
But I agree that if you would play alone and all your spells would resolve perfectly there would be no need for bob to be in the deck. But since this is just a dream, i am going to try him out today...
I didn't say turn 4 is too slow, if you drop bob on turn 2 and it lives for 3 turns, you are on turn 5, and because this deck goldfishes on turn 4 that means bob is slow
if you gonna test bob, everytime you draw it, try to figure out what you want better, bob or night's whisper

if bob lives for 2 turns, he drawed you a card
if bob lives for 3 turns, your deck is too slow
This is correct. If you want him he would be better of sitting on your Sb for really long or control matchups.
