@ScruffyNerfHearder: Urza's Armor does not prevent the life loss caused by this card. The Armor prevents damage, not life loss.

I may sound like an idiot to some professional Legacy players for saying this, but I don't care at this point.

People prefer Dark Confidant to this WHY....?

Dark Confidant is a 2/1 creature with one less skull in the top right corner, so it can and often does get additional attacks through. Furthermore, in Legacy, Brainstorm and Sensei's Divining Top can oftentimes eliminate Bob's down-side.

As has been said, Arena is killer in a slow-rolling control deck, but Confidant is even better in a tight-running mid-range deck like Jund.

In the Underworld Dreams.DEC that likes to run The Rack, Black Vise, et. al., and in fact is perfectly happy to leave almost its entire mana production at T1 Swamp -> Sol Ring, T2 Dark Ritual -> Dreams, and then be completely done making mana?

I can see how I wouldn't want to play Phyrexian Arena in that deck. Or, EVEN, Necropotence. Necropotence in that deck would be something like taking a heavy repeating nuclear cannon to a Western shootout at Sundown. I mean, I just don't need it because the cards I'm going to pick for a Discard Grief Deck will be fine and reliable without The Skull, like the dusty pair of pistols you shoot someone with in a proper Duel.

However, this still proves that you just used the phrase "Strictly" completely improperly, like most people do. -.-

Underworld Dreams: Legends Good for Mill Decks

Necropotence: ... (see all)
