On topic, Nish is draw needy in 1.27, he needs
Bad Santa![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
,
Bazaar![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
,
Research![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
,
Tainted Oracle![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
, anything that will get cards in your hand faster than 1 per turn. *The reason for this is especially clear in an ally-less version as he just cannot get his burn fast enough to beat the clock of his dwindling HP. *If you are playing 40c I would use Bazaar over

, if you are playing 30 cards I would go with
Research![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
, but both should have 3-4x Bad Santa to kickstart your hand size when it starts dwindling. *Whether it is a rush/burn or a fatty/portal build, you need to be able to sac a card a turn for resources to have enough to get all your spells and allies out soon enough to make a difference. *The only way Nish can do that reliably is with two cards drawn per turn from early in the game, but if you star Researching just to draw those cards, you are wasting precious early game resources to do so, so think of

as an aid for draw mid-late game when you have 7-8 resources and can't use them all in a turn.
I hate to be disagreeable, but
Bazaar![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
giving both players extra draw Is a secondary issue if you have an empty hand after T6. *The swarm that GDC warns about will happen anyway vs a BF Warrior, or a
Majiya![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
, or GB, or anyone with a reasonable unilateral draw engine, which basically covers the decks you will meet in comoetitive circles and quick games. *The more chance you have to throw out a T4

, T5 Nish-blast+5cc of allies, T6 6cc of allies, or replace
Portal![](autolinker/images/link2.gif)
and allies with as much burn as you can, the better your chances of winning.
