My good friend ' s middle name is ' Nettle '<| sep |> You just break her heart . <| sep |> what kind of spotter ? a crane ? <| sep |> Black removal is still the only way to fight hexproof for control deck without drake . You could use common removalShrivel to kill other cretures first . I think hexproof would be much weaker because UR drake is gone and there would be more edict . Whatever , UB is much better against bogles . In most card games discard effects are much , much better than draw effects , MTG is a exception because MTG have lands which are not real card . But when this effect could somehow negated , discard effect would be as good as other card games . Use burn as an example , burn always have enough mana to cast all their spells when fight against control . Chittering rats could make burn pass the next draw step , much better than draw more cards which you may not use . In short , chittering rats is somehow a removal that could counter the new threat your opponent draw .
