How this changes your picks
Rules-derived- Take it when
- Take it when black can be a main color and your deck can survive to four mana. It rewards ordinary removal and creature combat.
- What to take next
- Prioritize reliable answers and early creatures that can trade. In BG, the resulting Wolves also support Chief Warg’s Company.
- Wrong pick
- It must be on the battlefield when an opposing creature would die. Flash it in before lethal damage or before your removal resolves; playing it after the creature has died is too late.
- Mana & splash
- Two black mana symbols make it a poor casual splash. Treat black as a main color unless your fixing can reliably supply both.
