Necropotence...everyone knows this card defines subtle overpoweredness. Many players see this thing and think it's crap, but experienced players know better.

A sublime card-drawing engine. Remember: 1 card is always worth more than 1 life, and the only life point that truly matters is your last one.

This is great in a black/white deck. Especially one like mine when you can get to 5 million life by turn 6-8. (Wall of Reverence + Cradle of Vitality + Ajani Goldmane... multiplying your life total by 4 every turn. I want this card.

this card is insanely powerful. the card-drawing power of this card in a deck along with some kind of life-gaining combo like ivory tower is so great. it seriously rivals the library of alexandria. great in type 1. this card can turn "healing salve" into "ancestral recall"

This card truly deserves its coming mythic status.

the game is typically over turn 2 when you dark ritual this out on turn 1.

One of the powerful cards in Magic. I think it is extremelly overpowered after testing it in my cube, so I dropped out. But nice card also.

Perfect black flavor, make a minor sacrifice for unlimited power. Works very nicely in any black/white deck, as well as all black decks.

OK um, no this card does NOT touch Library of Alexandria... It's good but not that good. Back before Library was restricted, you could actually tap 4 Library in response to each other and draw 4 cards for NO life points or draw backs.

I sometimes miss those days of no restricted list or banned list. Back when it was totally legal to have like 15 Library of Alexandria in a deck, or having a deck that was basically 4 of each mox and 4 Lotus to pop out something huge every turn. Good times ;)

The Skull.

Looks like an Elephant Graveyard. Play in Ajani Vengeant for *** and giggles?
Wait...that's Kaalia colors....you know what....on second thought, DON'T do that. :/

.5/5 for a mistake in development and warping formats.

Please explain how this card works. My opponent still draws but I don't. Then if I want to draw a card i have to pay one life. What was the combo behind this that mad it awesome. As of now I see you can't get more cards unless you pay life.
