This card gets more terrible the more that I think about it.
The only thing that made specters remotely playable was the fact that they attacked a relevant resource (hand) and even then they need to pitch a card at random to be good.
This card attacks cards in deck, which like life is only relevant in large amounts. Praetors grasp didn't really see play and unfortunately I don't think this will either. Too bad the dimir hybrid rare was this :/
Not every deck plays restoration angel. If your opponent has restoration angel sideboard it out. Has anyone mentioned either of these points yet?
Whilst true, the decks that don't play restoration angel play searing spear and can just as easily deal with her.
If the aggro mirror is prevalent then she obviously trumps hellrider due to her ability to gain life and kill creatures, but otherwise hellrider is better.
That said, I still think the card is really good and could see a home alongside hellrider if RWx becomes a deck.
I would remove the revokers and some number of other cards for blade splicer and even for some vault skirges. I would also get rid of the signal pests since that is an extremely aggressive card not at all suited for a midrange deck. You should probably also add some dismembers, again, in accordance with a midrange deck. You could even splash black for hand disruption. Just something to consider.
im also a firm believer in monoB vamps, but after losing to a BAD jund player for the umpteenth time i figured i'd try something different.
the list is VERY rough but i think there's something there...
please let me know what you all think!
perfect, PERFECT control card!
it's a land that acts as a finisher without requiring you to dedicate md slots to a finisher itself, in the current standard where control decks are playing sejiri refuge, this card is and AMAZING replacement!
can't wait to see the R/B one!
wouldn't say "broken", just powerful. "Broken" would be if it let you play infinite lands.
it does with a fetchland...
infinite being all the lands that fetchland could find, which in a mono or two colored deck would be all the basics ur running...
definitely NOT the real card...
hey!
I am new to the archetype, I got bored of dstompy and figured that since black is my favorite color i'd give this deck a shot...
i was wondering if confidant, hippie spec, and arena are played in this deck?
thanks...
I, like a million other people hate this rules change...
what wotc is doing is to change the rules b/c some people are too ignorant to learn to play the game right...
like someone playing soccer, who is too dumb to get the ball in the goal, so the official changes the rules so that you get the point anyways despite having missed...
wotc should stop trying to make more money and get newer players at the expense of the old and more experienced players...
well, at least ball lightning is back, I wonder if it'll see more play than groundbreaker did?
I don't see what's so great about this card?
isn't it just another wrath effect and limited one at that too?
i can't seem to think of any decks where there are multiple non creature permanents of the same name out at once...
someone wanna fill me in?

Damn, if only those decks wanted a 4cc creature that wasn't beefy and didn't draw as many cards as the Xspell defining standard...
steal titans? take your vengevine and attack then exile for the insult on that injury?
good card is awesome!
It also doesn't hold a candle to Ravnica in my opinion?
