[RAV] Dark Confidant Final Text

darkhammy · 05-19-2005, 11:42 AM

Here it is:

{1}{B} - Creature Human Wizard - 2/1 - At the beginning of your
upkeep, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into your hand. You lose life equal to its
converted mana cost. - Flavor Text: Greatness, at any cost

Straight from the invitational!

Edit: Messed up the name.. :redface:

Nice with Sensei's Diving Top, putting a land as second each turn

EDIT: So is it Dark confident or Dark supplicant????

Meh, as it is like that its very very bad.. It could theoriticly go into a black wheene deck I suppose but if there isnt a deck like that wich is rather strong from before (wich I doubt) then this is never going to see play.. (unless rav is going to be insane)

Don't know what too say. It's no Meddling Mage that's for sure. Could be usefull, but it will probably suck.

Yup, i dont think there's any invitational cards that is better than meddling mage. man i love that card. Anyway, we'll not sure how good this card will be until we know what the new Ravina come out.

looks liek it could be fun, especially with the top. But theres already a whole host of shuffle effects that can be used with, theres probably some Black weenie deck waiting for it though. for which it refills the hand, and prevents over extension.

not impressed really, but i do like the synergy with Top

Toshimoko29 · 05-19-2005, 12:27 PM

Wow, wasn't it BB instead of 1B before? Quite an improvement. I guess they want to make sure it gets played in as many decks as possible. The card itself is incredibly powerful, since not only do you get extra cards out of it, you only lose life (theoretically) in proportion to the power of the extra card you're drawing. With the Top, it's insane, stack a land on top, free draw. If you need the expensive card, either save it for your draw or put the Top on your deck and pay 1 life for it. Black weenie decks get a small boost from Saviors, and at least this in Ravnica, it will be an amazing deck. I can't even believe they're printing it like that, it's an incredible card.

Looks cool to me!!

Celestial Badger · 05-19-2005, 12:53 PM

sweet

I'm building black weenie atm anyway, this is a nice bonus

chaosof99 · 05-19-2005, 12:57 PM

Can anyone Decipher what the expansion Symbol represents?

I like the card with the top, could be nice in Agressive black decks (AKA Suicide) that don't get over 2 mana. I realy like the synergy of it and top and the Prodigal Sorcerer Vanguard Avatar. But anywhere else it probably sucks unless you can avoid drawing to many cards that cost 3 or more. Even 2 is pretty risky. Or where you can sack im fast.

Looks like a tower or a tip of one at least.

Nice colorful card at least. As for usefulness, somehow I feel the Arena's worth more.

Probably a spire from a tower or Building.

Hydrokinesis · 05-19-2005, 01:02 PM

Now that is a nice looking card, and quite the fitting beginning to the, wait for it... Racinca partial Spoiler list!

Quite the little gem in my opinion, and may I start this next rumor season off with a new catchphrase..

Ugh, very disappointed. It's a horrible Phyrexian Arena w/ a body. The only way it will see play is with SDT.
