Neither are mainable, and if you care about them Oblivion Ring and Intangible Virtue are fine options as maindeck or SB options. To say that Illness in the Ranks invalidates either card is short-sighted at best.

Combo is ripe for a comeback.

Doesn’t Illness in the Ranks hose both of these cards? While it may not be an auto-include in sideboards ATM it completely invalidates both of those cards, so any stray copies will cause major card disadvantage.

I play 2 Chandra, the Firebrand MB. When you can go turn 4 Chandra, turn 5 copy Rakdos’s Return for a total of 6 cards and 6 life it’s pretty backbreaking. Copying things with Chandra also makes it so you can make sure at least one copy of whatever instant or sorcery you’re casting gets through a counterspell.
