Bazaar vs. Tome of knowledge

[Mew Two]

In rush Mage deck such as deathrace elad, which is better to use, tome or bazaar? Bazaar can give you a hard time against other rush decks, but it destroys slower decks... Which one do you guys use?

[CodeDomination]

Bazaar for rush, Tom for everything else.

[Keaven]

Tome of Knowledge every time, and I've tried to squeeze Bazaar into every style so far.

[ayaribas]

I personally use ToK and TOs, i favor unilateral draw over anything else

When is it better to put TOK instead of a 2cc ally when u have both in your hand? Especially for shadow mages when Brutalis' damage output is relatively low.

With Eladwen rush, I'll want to run out the Puwen first, as damage early with allies is key for that deck (unless of course opponent already has puwen, in which case mine will probably be dead anyways). For Maj, in most situations I like tome more. Brutalis is a fine option if you're playing against a human who you don't think will kill it, as Brut supplies the last hit to kill something with maj's ability. against shadow opponents though, Infernal Gargoyle is the 3cc to beat and against that Brut is a dead drop, so I might as well sac the 2cc ally and go for tome.

ToK when you need it or you don't have 2cc ally, BS for Santa Bomb or late to draw finishing spells.

Bazaar and BS works well too.

Then is Brutalis useless in a Majiya deck unless against humans?

Nope, if your opponent does not have t3 garg but has t3 dmt / bw / medusil instead, combine with Ls or maj ability, the brut can kill these 3 allies.

Exactly. However, You also have DMT to do that last point. There are other ways. It's just that IGarg is the most troublesome of the bunch as it is and Brutalis can't help in that regard.
