While there aren't that many split second cards that we would use in cEDH, I want to know if split second is worth the increased mana cost.
Take Krosan grip its a naturalize + 1 for the split second. Is this rate usable or is it just better to play something cheaper with a minor downside ie. Nature's claim
[[Extirpate]] is a pet card of mine, it shuts down any of the hulk decks including Shuffle, but also the Frog and any reanimator style deck. At the cost of 1 mana, its definetly worth a look.
As for Krosan vs Nature's Claim. 4 life is nothing in cEDH. the added 2 cmc is not worth the "uncounterable" part of the card. Even if our opponent is at 40 and gains 4 from natures claim, Fishbowl bolts for 50, and most other wincons are infinite or have an alternate way of winning.
Stifle sees little to no play and therefore Trickbind would almost never be considered.
Angel's Grace is the only other card on the list that sees play. The combo with AdNaus is just too good to pass up and with the way that priority works, it is just too good to pass up.
