Solitary Confinement?

Or maybe a fun casual combo: Pariah + Stuffy Doll + this. Draw cards for BB, don't worry about the drawback and revert all damage back to your opponent.

Crazy that this was printed alongside necropotence.

What were they thinking?

BlackBlack: Draw a card O.k. off the bat that sounds cool... Sac a permanent or discard a card for each life lost. Oh well i can still draw a card for two mana over and over.

This might be better for Donateing to someone else than for holding onto, as long as the receiver has no black mana.

Not as good as Necropotence but it can still be fairly effective in the right deck. Obviously you would have to be an idiot to play this against red.

What if. . . your life total couldn't change?

Other than that, this is not really so much a draw engine as it is treating your hand as a shield to your life total.

Paired with Dragon Appeasement, as long as you have tons of token generation, it does become a rather good draw engine. Allowing you to trade creatures and mana for cards. You could simply run some painlands and damage yourself, causing you to sacrifice permanents off of Oath and draw some cards off of Appeasement. But all in all you could just skip the damn sacrifice and just play Necropotence or Yawgmoth's Bargain.

The most embarrassing thing about this card is it was printed in Ice Age along with Necropotence.

Donate....Necropotence.


I'm sorry I'm still trying to process that.

Wow. You're friend is an evil genius. That sounds like the only 'fair' thing under the sun to do with Necropotence.

Necropotence is EVEN broken as a GIFT!

WHADAFUQ NECRO!!?!?????!!!

You can avoid sacking a permanent by discarding a card...by paying BB to draw a card, to avoid sacking a permanent by discarding a card...
