MTG Salvation

Quote from The Great Lobachevsky »

A tutor that can fetch Assassin's Trophy at instant speed? Yikes.

Like I've been saying since M19 was spoiled, Golgari is going to be one of the decks to beat in standard once Guilds comes out.

I quit those colors Two-ish weeks ago. I think I understand why my LGS owner and some of the co-players have been pushing me to keep the BG deck instead of dismantling it.

This tutor is dumb. It'll be a mistake trust me. Grab them when they're cheap.

Cue Street Wraith banning.

And Faerie Macabre to see an uptick in use too. Load up on your Leylines of the Void people!

Watch for the black tutor to be banned in Modern. We all know how instant-speed virtually no-strings-attached tutors end up.

Any guild/faction with B in it will love this. We still have yet to see Orzhov and Rakdos in Ravnica Allegiance so this could have a profound effect on those guilds once they become known and released.

The Duskmantle Faerie feeds into it too. It's quite nice for an uncommon.

Is there any deck in non-rotating formats that would actually use Secrets? Seems like twice the cost for Traverse for Death's Shadow decks.

It's also an instant and much less demanding. Grixis Death's Shadow can cycle a Street Wraith while holding up mana for interaction and tutor Death's Shadow, Fatal Push, or Thoughtseize on the opponent's end step. A few more creatures in the graveyard, and it can also fetch answers like Kolaghan's Command, Terminate, Countersquall, and Collective Brutality. With a few adjustments, this is an easy 4-of in GDS.

Now that I have As Foretold out, let me just tutor up living end with NO creatures in my yard.

Let Loam Pox run a single copy of Raven's Crime.

Tutoring a Korlash is a Rampant Growth on mega steroids.

But for real, its instant speed, so at worse you can respond if your gyard gets dumped.

And Rest in Peace is not likely to get past discards and abrupt decay.

I can definitely see this card in Modern. Being able to find a Surgical for something like Tron or graveyard shennanigans is really good. Can also grab a Slaughter Pact for nothing and this combos super well with Street Wraith. Great tool for black.

Or you could go all Johnny and fetch your wincon: Liliana's Indignation

Zombie beatdown with Crypt of Agadeem.

I'm way to excited for this card for both competitive and fun.

Mausoleum Secrets: nice istant tutor, although most of the time you will able to tutor only 0-1 CMC black spells. Street Wraith has a really nice synergy, but something else is needed to make this tutor more consistent; rarely you will be able to fetch a 2 CMC black spell. Being able to "fetch" for free a Slaughter Pact is a good thing, especially in a combo deck.
