Premier Draft DSK 4 November 2024
4 November 08:39 - LordVile 7 Wins - 2 Losses
Pack 1 Pick 1: Arabella, Abandoned Doll
Marina Vendrell's Grimoire
0 6-mana to draw 5 is kind of sweet, but turning your life total into you cards in hand? Not so much, especially because you just didn't add to the board when you spent 6 mana. It's going to be tough not to lose the turn after you play this.

Under the Skin
3.5 This is a sweet 2-for-1, and you can even get back the card you put into your graveyard with the manifest trigger.

Arabella, Abandoned Doll
3 This trigger can drain a ton of life, and if you are able to keep her alive for another swing, it's going to be game over much of the time.

Unnerving Grasp
4 This is a Manifest Dread version of Man-O-War, and that seems excellent. Adding to the board while taking away from your opponent's board is great, and this 2/2 has massive upside.

Boilerbilges Ripper
2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.

Underwater Tunnel
2.5 I don't love that the cheaper side doesn't impact the board, but Slimy Aquarium does -- so it's sort of like you pay 5-mana for a 3/3 with Surveil 2, but you pay in installments. That's not too bad.

3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.

Hand That Feeds
2.5 This will be a two mana 4/2 with Menace often enough that it's a nice two drop.

Pack 1 Pick 2: Ragged Playmate
Break Down the Door
2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, especially because even when you don't have a target you can get a 2/2.

Commune with Evil
2.5 I'm interested in the first copy of this if I'm in a Delirium deck, as it can get Delirium singlehandedly. Not adding to the board is a bit of a problem, but the life gain helps.

Spineseeker Centipede
3.5 A three mana 2/1 without the delirium effect here would probably be a 3.0, since grabbing a land is such good value -- a 2-for-1 is pretty easy to produce! So, the fact that this gains a relevant body later in the game is pretty awesome.

Duskmourn's Domination
2 Mind Controls are usually pretty insane, but they really made sure this one wouldn't be. You can look at this as a 6-mana removal spell that gives you a barely relevant piece of material -- like a 1/4 with no abilities, or something like that.

Pack 1 Pick 3: Wildfire Wickerfolk
Winter, Misanthropic Guide
2 Letting your opponent draw isn't great, but you get the first crack at the extra cards, and you might punish your opponent a little with delirium.

Sporogenic Infection
3 This is a pretty weird take on an edict effect. You have some control over it, since the creature it gets put on can't be sacrificed -- and you can even put it on your own creature if your opponent only has one. But it definitely removes something and then gives you a ltitle upside beyond that.

Wildfire Wickerfolk
3 A two mana 3/2 Haste puts your opponent under pressure early, and by the time that body's less relevant, it'll usually be a 4/3 trampler.

Piranha Fly
1.5 This isn't so efficient that it should be entering the battlefield tapped. That's just rough in an era where you often need to trade your two drop -- you have to wait a whole turn to do it with this.

Walk-In Closet
0 Both sides of this are pretty bad in Limited. Playing lands from graveyard is rarely useful, and if you unlock the Cellar, you probably dont' have mana to cast anything from your graveyard.

Fear of Falling
2.5 5-mana 4/4 Flyers aren't as good as they used to be, especially when they don't have ETB or death triggers, but this attack trigger is pretty good at giving this an effect even when it isn't your turn.

Spectral Snatcher
2.5 This is tough to kill without your opponent 2-for-1ing themselves, and the fact you can cycle it away early for a Swamp and reanimate it is pretty great for Black/white decks.

Pack 1 Pick 5: Most Valuable Slayer
Trial of Agony
2.5 You're never going to kill the creature you most want to kill with this, but paying one mana to kill your opponent's second best creature is still worth it. And sometimes making two things unable to block is going to win you the game.

Pack 1 Pick 6: Smoky Lounge
The Tale of Tamiyo
1.5 This set has fewer instants and sorceries than usual, so the last chapter is hard to abuse. The first three aren't easy either -- but if you can take advantage of the mill and draw a few cards, you might be able to play this. Not adding to the board is rough, though.

1.0 // 3.5 I don't love that the Loung doesn't impact the board at all, but Misty Salon can really allow you to win the game with a bunch of doors in play. Problem is, I don't think every blue-red deck can pull that off, so it needs a build around grade.

Pack 1 Pick 8: Impossible Inferno
Fear of Impostors
2 I don't love the idea of giving my opponent a Manifest when I counter their spell, but you do add this to the board in the process, so it's not a 2-for-1, at least. Although it can definitely backfire.

Spectral Snatcher
2.5 This is tough to kill without your opponent 2-for-1ing themselves, and the fact you can cycle it away early for a Swamp and reanimate it is pretty great for Black/white decks.

Fear of the Dark
3 This will frequently have Menace and Deathtouch. It won't quite always have them -- Glimmers are around, including at lower rarities -- but it has them often enough to be a nice 5-drop, especially in decks that care about Enchantments.

5 Even without delirium this would be nuts as you get three bodies at a great rate, and once you have delirium it gets even sillier. Especially because you're likely to have more insects and spiders in Black/Green.
