It plays a mana game that puts your opponents behind on mana and you up on cards
Space Marine Devastator costs a little more than Reclamation Sage, but it has better stats and the squad ability is a really nice mana sink
In fact, thinking about it more Im fairly confident that more different decklists will contain at least one Deicide in the 75 than any other card in the set, so I suppose its clear that Im not giving full credit for sideboard inclusion
