Wow! It is that time already another Magic Prerelease is upon us. I am sorry for not doing this sooner, but I have been busy making some videos for the blog and trying to pay for life. So Dark Ascension is what we are going to talk about. Specifically my picks. Since this is my second ever set review I am trying to be different. my reviews will always differ from the other guys because I am a both competitive and casual and a judge. I tend to look at a set and say wow this is cool or this really stands out for this deck. What you won’t get from this is the best draft picks, or replacement cards in deck types. What you will get is a broader selection. I don’t care about only the competitive end of the game.
With that said I am going to take a different approach this time. Since, Dark Ascension is only 150 cards I ma cutting my selection to only 3 cards per color one common, an uncommon, and a rare. Starting with black.
I think the best three cards in black are GravePurge, Wakedancer, and GraveCrawler.
GravePurge
Because putting a card(s) on top of your library from your graveyard and drawing it is cool. The fact that it is an instant makes it really good.
WakeDancer
She has all the synergy you want in a card. Cheap to play and a good ability.
Gravecrawler
What can I say undead should always be played from the graveyard
