Levi control hand and waif question

[scythewing]

Let's say during draw phase I know Levi doesn't draw back up to 6 but can he discard and replace those cards from the deck? One more thing do you kill off all hollow waifs in the closing phase and summon them back Levi or do they stay put till he or they die?

Loving using Levi but takes a little while to wrap your head round. Played an awesome scenario game today in the frozen north and can't wait to get him back on the table.

Draw 0 cards means draw 0 cards. You can discard, but you still won't draw without Alyce.

All Hollow Waifs are sacrificed when he enters play.

You only sacrifice them if you're bringing Levi back to one. If he's still alive, they stay unless they're killed.

or get too far away from him.

Ok cool thanks I misunderstood then. I thought you didn't draw unless you had Alice but you could replace the discarded cards. Once again thanks for clearing that up. I'll master him one of these days lol.

You draw a full hand when he comes into play in the close phase, if you have alyce nearby you can then draw 2 cards in the next draw phase as normal.

The dissadvantage with Levi is if he doesn't die you don't draw (other the Alyce) and if you've already used a bunch of good cards he draws in the close phase so you haven't shuffled yet.

Yup. If levy isn't going to die, your hand is going to shrink fast. If you need to cycle cards, go for his trigger Disciplined Caster. That can give you some help and since all you need for it is a Tome, you can get it on just about every one of his spells easily. So any time you cast with him, you should be looking for and remembering this trigger.
