I don't play with this anymore. But, back in the day this used to be a great T1: Dark Ritual + Unholy Strength. Goes great with Bad Moon and grave recurring creatures like Nether Traitor, Bloodghast, Ashen Ghoul to work around it's drawback. The only other way I've worked with this card is with Phasing--Teferi's Viel... Swing my creatures, they phase out... Damnation, Barter in Blood, Infest, or any other sort of board wipe or additional creatures A 5/3 Flyer able to attack T2 is nothing to scoff at, especially when you can Hymn to Tourach T2 aswell.

ahh! the good old days when suicide black included this baby in her arms! never particularly cared for this card because it was too situational but my friend won a 1.5 tournament with this in it 3-4 years ago. don't know if this is a viable option anymore with the card pool being much larger than it was then. heck, someone better than me though is sure to give it a try, right? good luck........
